A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.
Another great installment. Loving the will they won't they romance. Loving the banter between the friends. Not liking the way Ella is being treated by her boss. All setting the scene for the wedding. Bring on the next installment.
Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.
Love it, highly recommend it.
This is part two of a four part serial. I loved it and I’m disappointed to have gotten to the end. I think I might go and read it all over again!
It’s beautifully written, emotional and engaging. I’d probably say it’s one of the best books I’ve read and I get through lots of books.
This second part was a lovely continuation - light and humorour, and even though I didn't always agree with the characters and their decisions (unicorn? Hen party?), there were only very few of them so it didn't bother me so much, and maybe the author will come back to this particular moment and situation in the next part, who knows.
What I like is the fact that there is SOMETHING HAPPENNING. The characters talk about things and they are happening, and that is a real breath of fresh air. Usually they only talk and talk but here they take matters in their own hands and boom, Ella has her own business opened.
It was a lovely, light - hearted novella that has some important issues deeply hidden. It explores friendship, toxic work environment, standing up for yourself. There is still the mystery going on and I am so intrigued if Ella and Kit had got it all wrong or if they're right. Looking forward to the next part!
Ooo left me on a cliff hanger again ! Can't wait to read part 3
So pleased Ella told her boss where to stick her job and didn't back down
The second part of the book was just as good if not better than the first. I really started to get to know the characters and see how the story plays out. It's a very funny and light hearted read, I look forward to reading the rest!
Part two of A Wedding at Sandy Cove didn’t disappoint and I found myself laughing and even shouting at my kindle, so I guess that means I was involved in the story!
Ella’s adventures continue. I’m glad I wasn’t at her friend’s hen party event, which sounds like I would be out of my comfort zone, but there is plenty to read about and I even spat my mouthful of tea out at one point when I laughed totally unexpectedly!
Worried about Lucy and the case she is dealing with at work and I was yelling at her not to
destroy evidence from her stalker. Wanting Wanda, Ella’s former boss to get her comeuppance. Hoping Kit and Ella get together. Waiting for Part Three…
I am loving this wedding series by Bella Osborne. This is the second in the series and each book is novella length. Just the right length to add to this charming story and have you excitedly waiting for the next part. Our girl Emma could have had a big disaster when she was fired from her seamstress job for wedding dresses but she takes things into her own hands and opens her own sewing shop.
All the delightful wedding planning fun,the glamour and adorable dog,the romance,the delightful parties . I absolutely can not wait to read the next part.
Fun and Recommended!

Thank you NetGalley, Bella Osborne and Avon Books, UK for the copy of A Wedding at Sandy Cove Part 2: Stitched Up. This is my personal review.
After reading the first part of the serial I could not wait to read the next to see where things were going for Ella in part 2.
Ella has a job she loves doing and a boss- Wanda she does not like working for, but she needs to work and keep her eye on what the future can hold for her.
Things happen at Ella’s’ job and everything is starting to change for her.
The connection between Ella and Kit continues in this part and I love the chemistry between them and how things are developing.
The author has given me characters in this story I can really connect with and totally make me want to keep turning the pages to find out what happens.
Lovely continuation of the story. Ella opens her own shop and starts out on a new path. Lots of laughs at the hen party. Now ready for part 3
The second part of the engaging A Wedding at Sandy Cove series picks up where part one left the reader gasping. Ella is starting her own business, but her horrible ex-boss Wanda isn't making it easy.
Kit, whom she met under stressful circumstances, is helping her convert her garage. The attraction between them is simmering nicely; the mystery concerning their parents makes anything more than friendship unlikely. Brittany's hen night is full of hilarity.
I love the characters, the dynamics between Elle and her friends, the hint of romance with Kit and the intrigue surrounding their parents. The mix of humour and poignancy continues with Lucy's viewpoint focusing on darker issues.
Finishing part two makes you excited to read what happens next.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
I couldn’t wait for the second instalment of A wedding at Sandy cove and what can I say other than fabulous. A great read that will make you laugh, smile and enjoy every moment. The only problem I have is waiting for part 3.
Great read, the second part of this book. Can't wait to see what happens next for Ella and Kit, but also for Lucy.
4.75⭐️
Thank you to Avon, Bella Osborne and NetGalley for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!
I am really enjoying reading this story in bits and pieces although I must say, it’s also driving me mad!!! In the best way possible, though!! The ending of both of the first parts was a gasp-out-loud part and has most definitely left me wanting to know more (well done, you sneaky Bella you!)
This part sees Ella coming into her own and coming into herself a bit more. There is lots of progress with setting up her business and the Reno’s are fabulous!!!! We meet some new characters that are fun and I have no doubt will continue to appear in the next two parts of this story!
I am suuuuuper curious as to what is going to happen with Kit and Ella’s problem they are trying to deal with and cannot wait to see how that one turns out.
I can’t wait to continue this journey with this lovely cast of characters and I can’t wait to see where Ella ends up in all of it.
I love this book, and I can't wait to see what the next part has to offer! I am thoroughly enjoying the book so far, and it is just what I have needed in my life to help me relax.
I love Ella and Kit loads and I am rooting for them. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next with them, and with Ella's new business (bye bye Wanda!)
This is a great book, which I highly recommend.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.
This is the second part of A Wedding at Sandy Cove. You definitely need to have read the first part before you read this one.
This book features the very lively Hen Party which Ella attends. It is a very funny story, and we are introduced to new characters.
I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait until the next part of the book.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.
A brilliant second book in the series.
Ella goes on a hen weekend with her friends and they aren't looking forward to a regimented schedule. Auntie Rita is a total character and I hope we see more of her at the wedding.
Ella is also getting her own business up and running. I loved the way that Kit has enabled her to get this off the drawing block into reality. You are wishing her well and hoping that the reason they got to know each other turns out to be a red herring.
Life, friendships, work niggles and nightmare bosses are all explored. There is a huge hint of a blossoming relationship and a lot of humour surrounding Kits son and his 'friend'. There is a bit of soul searching and re-evaluating life pathways and lead us into book 3, which I will be eagerly looking out for.
Now part 1 of this series introduced us to the wonderful characters we were going to meet, in particular Elle and Laura but part 2 has a hen do so you know you’re in for a good time.
I love the wedding aspect of this series and really exploring the ups and downs of your friends getting married and the madness that comes with it. I’m so excited to see what we get up on on the journey to the wedding in part 3 because this hen do had it all, let me tell you. I felt the stress that Laura and Elle had to go through and I felt their exasperation at the organisation of the whole thing!
This story also has an entrepreneurial side to it too though and we get to see Elle make moves to strike out on her own and start her own business in this instalment though. I love the fact that she ends up enlisting the help of builder Kit who we got to meet in episode 1 of this series because I knew I definitely wanted to see more of him. I think Elle feels like a lot of us when it comes to starting over again and being our own boss and I love how he helps her to make that a reality.
There are also more dark time for Laura ahead. I love how much she only thinks with her head and not her heart but we get to see a softer side to her in this instalment and I really can’t wait to see where she goes on her journey. To be honest I could handle a whole book about just Laura alone.
The other aspect of this story that I am really enjoying and really can’t wait to watch develop is Kit and Elle’s espionage against their parents. They had a lot of false starts in part 2 and so I hope they finally get some answers in part 3! I can't wait to read it!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.
I loved this.
If you’ve read the first part, you will love this part.
Aunt Rita at the hen party, was just so funny, and the party was fabulous.
Still, the mystery builds around what is happening between Jane and David? Whether Brittany will get married? Is there something between Ella and Kit. What is going on with Lucy?
Cannot wait to read the next part to see what happens next.
I highly recommend this.
