I do love a good romance read, and one featuring a wedding hits a mark for me that I don't hit often, however, this one was a bit of a miss for me. The romance just wasn't what I was hoping for and I found myself slightly bored reading. I couldn't fully connect to the characters, and I didn't exactly care what happened, nor was I pining for a HEA or anything of the sort - it just didn't connect with me. I did like the setting, Sandy Cove sounds like a nice place that I'd totally go on a vacation to for some relaxation.

Cute cover too.

A perfectly romantic summer read. An easy read with a fantastic plot and great characters. Did not want the story to end. Absolute must read!

Thank you so much Bella Osborne and Rachel’s random resources for gifting me a digital copy of ‘A wedding at Sandy Cove’ in exchange for an honest review. I am always excited when I get the chance to be on a Bella Osborne book tour as I know I am going to fall head over heels with the characters and this book was no different. I loved this refreshing take on weddings through the eyes of Ella a seamstress who helps brides fit into their off the shelf dresses and make them look like one off unique creations; I found Ella to be endearing and full of hope no matter how she has been treated in the past. I also found the sub plot of Ella’s parents fascinating and a clever plot line worked in alongside the story of Kit and Ella. Kit is everything you want and more in a lead male interest and his love for his family shone through. I also enjoyed the humour and sarcasm of Ella’s best friend Lucy who faced her own challenges throughout the book but was still an incredible friend; even to the point of wearing turd brown. I really enjoyed this book and I am excited to see there is a second book to follow and see where the characters all end up next.

This was a lovely and charming book. I love books by this author and this one didn’t disappoint. I loved the main characters and the setting of the story I also really enjoyed the wedding aspect of the book and liked the happy ending.

I loved this story, and I always pick up any books by Bella because her characters and plots are just wonderful ,I love how she weaves the tale between characters , just a joy to read

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I needed to read something light and fluffy after a psychological thriller. This didn't disappoint. Ella is being walked over by the boss of the bridal shop where she works. Her father appears to be having an affair which leafs her to meeting Kit. Lucy is divorce lawyer, involved in a messy divorce with a missing teenager. Their best friend Brittany is getting married at Sandy Cove.
Actually not as fluffy as I first thought. There are deep themes running through the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to Netgalley for the advance review copy in exchange for an honest review

I really enjoyed this book - the characters were brilliant & I liked the different threads of the story that related to each character & the way they interconnected.

Will definitely be looking for more books from this author

Bella has written another delightful story full of love, drama and as always laugh out loud moments! I find myself drawn in instantly when I start reading Bella's books and The Wedding at Sandy Cove did just that too!

While this would be a perfect light summer read, it had such a warm and cosy feel about it and was perfect to curl up with under a blanket by the heater and enjoy the escapism!

It was filled with such lovely characters and I loved all of them in their own way. A few serious issues were embedded in the story but not where it felt too heavy.

As always with Bella's books, highly recommended!

I shall keep this nice and simple...buy this book! Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for the reading copy.

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.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
Bella Osborne books are always a good read with lovely romance, although the course of true love never runs smooth. This includes the usual level of comical wit, and twists in the tale. The characters are interesting, and I love Ella's unusual career and her struggle to stand up for herself. Isaac is a typical boy, with a pet that would lead most women to throw a fit, and Ella's cat, Pirate, adds to the 'animal' touches in this romcom. A superb summer read, with a useful 'summary' at the end, tying all the loose ends, it's perfect!

Filled with romance, friendship and humor this delightful book reminds us to just be happy in life. The relationships between the characters are relatable and heartwarming. They make this book an easy read that leaves you with a smile on your face. The plot is lighthearted but full of drama that easily keep the pages turning.
I highly recommend this feel good book! The characters feel like old friends and stay with you long after the book has ended. I look forward to reading many more of Bella Osborne's books in the future! I am grateful to Avon Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read a digital copy of this wonderful book in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve really enjoyed reading this book. It’s beautifully written with plenty of drama. The descriptions throughout really make the book come to life and makes you want to visit sandy cove. There’s lots of funny moments especially involving the bridezilla’s. I loved Ella and I loved seeing her confidence grow over the course of the book. I enjoyed the multiple storylines that were woven throughout and I thought the cast of characters was quite diverse. Overall a really enjoyable summer read that makes me want to read more by Bella.

I do love Ms Osborne's writing style, her humour is just up my street. I particularly loved the opening chapter - it sets the tone (or the rest of the book perfectly.

The three main female characters are relatable and believable, and their different voices add richness to the story, as does Ella's love interest, Kit. The way they meet was totally unexpected, and if I hadn't been invested in the story before that (I was, I really was!), I certainly would have been afterwards.

Witty, funny, and impeccably plotted, this book was a joy to read.

Listened to this book on audio. Really enjoyed the narrator which can make or break a book for me. I was expecting more wedding content but in the end I felt like the actual wedding was a minor part if the story. Loved the group of friends and of course the romantic interest. A it of drama thrown in at the end but everything turns out well.

The title is a slight red herring as the wedding is only a small part of the book however this is a great book. I absolutely loved it and couldn’t wait to find out the conclusion (even though I now miss all the characters!) It’s fun and romantic with a dollop of action and angst. Wonderful characters, great plot lines and just so easy to get lost in.

Thank you Netgalley

First off, the cover is gorgeous! This was a fun, easy read that I definitely recommend. I enjoyed the storyline, characters, and the beautiful setting. I look forward to reading more by this author!

A big thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for providing me a copy to review.

A wedding at Sandy Cove is such a fun book . Great plot, characters and setting. I highly recommend this book. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

I liked the premise of the story but I found some parts to be a little crude. I loved the relationship the friends had and that they were there for each other no matter how busy life was at the time of crisis. It was interesting to see the different viewpoints on life, personalities, and marriage as Lucy and Ella tell the story as it happens. I found that my viewpoint of marriage was most like Brittany’s with a little mix of Ella.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

With a gorgeous cover and contents that match, too,
This is a delightful read I highly recommend to you.
A contemporary romance that wasn't sought
By two brought together by adultery they thought!

Bella is a seamstress, talented and skilled,
But her boss doesn't appreciate her and is very strong willed.
Bella is put on and expected to do all without fail
But the pressure increases so it is beyond the pale!

A blind date where she's to meet a friend's friend
But he's running late and its Kit she meets in the end.
Bella's parents have been together for almost thirty years
When she spots her Dad dining with Kit's Mum, will this end in tears?

Get ready for collaboration as Bella and Kit seek to find
A way to force their parents apart, any romance to undermined.
There's laughter galore as the two plot and carry out their schemes
Without any idea of what's really happening or following their dreams.

With a young orphan, a rat, new business and fun
This is a fantastic read when all is said and done!
There are plenty of twists as the story carries on
Including danger and peril for almost everyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely book
And suggest you consider giving it more than a look.
For my complementary copy, I say thank you,
As I share with you this, my honest review.
