Description:
Can a new beginning mend Anabel’s broken heart?
1936, British Channel Islands
When the man she loves marries someone else, young heiress Anabel Robinson flees to the small island of Luniette to forget her heartache.
An accident on the cliffs throws her into the path of Robert Smith, a surly young farmer who grew up on Luniette. Another chance encounter leads to a new friendship with Tim Northorn, a kind naval officer who has been posted on the island.
With two men eager to get to know her, Anabel is soon distracted from her pain.
And although she has sworn off romance, it seems that fate is urging her to open her heart…

Reveiw:
This is a lovely and simplistic romance story. The writing is alright and functional but doesn't have that extra spark to pull you in.. The story is quite leisurely paced and would be great as a palate cleanser possibly.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
A sweet and simplistic romance. The writing is OK and functional but lacks that extra spark to really draw the reader in. The story is quite leisurely paced and puts a summer story in mind.
A good read.

SEEDS OF FATE by LEWIS COX is a well written romance novel which takes place in 1936 on the tiny island of Luniette, part of the Channel Islands, where Annabel Robinson is stranded after she misses the boat back to the mainland.
Annabel's father is a very wealthy international financier and she wants to get away after her fiancé. Paul Brycon, marries someone else, feeling that her wealth was one of the causes of their breakup. She does not want any of the islanders to know how wealthy she is, but her secret slips out. It is hard to keep anything from the tight knit community with its ardent gossip mongers. She feels as though she is being watched all the time, which is really the case!
She finds the beauty of the island and the sea peaceful and restorative, but soon gets caught up in a competition between two men, the farmer Robert Smith and Lieutenant Commander Tim Northorn, who are both interested in pursuing a relationship with this interesting new addition to the island community. I like the way that the sea and the weather play an important part in the story.
We see how Annabel's arrival awakens something quite sinister, and we are made to feel her fear and tumultuous emotions. We are kept guessing right to the end and wonder whether she will just give up and go back to London or stay and try and work things out.
It is an exciting read, with a "hint" of Christianity, great characters and an excellent plot. I highly recommend Seeds of Fate to anyone who enjoys this genre.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Sapere Books. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
