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.
I have enjoyed each book in this series to a lesser degree with each story, and this novel is no exception. The continuity from the last book seemed awry, with comments about Vi's cleaner (she didn't have one previously) and Dennis being 'like a Hollywood movie star' when Vi had been telling him he was 'getting porky' in the 3rd instalment, and we are told 'Vi was well known in the village for her random concoctions' although this is the first time we've been told this about a character who has appeared in every book. Nancy does not seem to behave like a woman in her late twenties, and is the most unforgiving and selfish person, I don't know why Dennis likes her! The final straw was the amount of bad language; it has been steadily increasing throughout the series, reaching a crescendo in this book where the word t*** appears so frequently I wonder if the author realises how truly offensive it is. Vi might be an elderly woman who speaks her mind but there is no excuse for this level of rudeness and vulgarity. I didn't enjoy this story at all.

The Bookshop at the Cornish Cove is a heartwarming and charming escape that will leave readers dreaming of coastal getaways and cozy bookshops. Nancy is a relatable and endearing heroine, determined to make her dream bookshop a success despite the challenges she faces. The picturesque setting of Driftwood Bay, with its stunning views and slower pace of life, serves as the perfect backdrop for her journey. Dennis, the high-flying businessman, starts off as a bit of a know-it-all, but his character grows as he learns from Nancy and the town’s simpler, more fulfilling way of life. The slow-burn romance between them adds an enjoyable layer to the story, and their dynamic is sweet as they both teach and learn from each other. While the plot feels familiar, the book’s charm and the development of the characters' relationship make it a delightful and satisfying read. Ideal for fans of feel-good romances with a beautiful setting.

Sweet book with lots of tension flowing between the two main characters. This author draws you in with good descriptions of the setting and characters that you can relate to. Lovely story that I really enjoyed.

Right book at the right moment: life affirming, romantic. It made me smile and root for the characters
Due to health issues cannot will write a proper review at a later time
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mineA more extensive review will follow

Everything you could want from a romance set in Cornwall: a beautiful seaside setting, a cast of interesting characters, and a single female lead who’s setting up her own bookshop and struggling until the arrival of Dennis, an attractive business consultant from London who’s visiting his grandmother. I didn’t warm to Dennis’s attitude initially but as his back story was gradually revealed, it made more sense. An entertaining read. I haven’t read the other books in the series but that didn’t spoil my enjoyment of this one.

An enjoyable read. Setting was lovely, and the characters were great to read, with interesting backgrounds. Reading this made me want to visit Driftwood Bay and the bookshop myself!

Another fan instalment in Kim Nash's Cornish Cove series. A very enjoyable read with likeable characters and a great setting.

I adored this book. Any book set in a bookstore is good but this was delightful. The relationship between Nancy and Dennis was fun, how he helped her turn her dream store around was so interesting and learning of his background was so touching. I’m heading straight to buy Nash’s back catalogue. Thank you netgalley, the perfect Christmas read.

In the latest Cornish Cove novel, Kim Nash continues this series as life in Driftwood Bay goes on as normal. This time following Nancy, the proud owner of a bookstore (despite not knowing anything about business), readers join her as Dennis, the grandson of one of Nancy’s friends, offers to help her out with his fancy London job and business and banking acumen. However, they get off to a rocky start but continue to work together because Nancy and Dennis both know their strengths and know the other needs their help. Charming, romantic, and slow-going, readers will love the new romance blossoming in Driftwood Bay in this cozy and emotional new novel. The characters are, of course, the star of the novel, and the opposites-attract tropes are in full swing in Nash’s new book. Her characters are complex, humorous, and interesting, and their unique backstories and dynamics with other characters really make readers care about them and immerse themselves in the novel. With its beautiful location and charming characters, readers will love Nash’s new release and the return to Driftwood Bay in Cornwall through the eyes of new characters who have new challenges, new friends, and new romances to work through.

Every book that hace bookshop in the name I need to read it 📚
I really enjoy the story in this book
Thanks netgalley and the publisher for the copy

I'm a sucker for the librarian/bookstore owner/writer romance tropes. This one didn't disappoint. It was sweet and poignant.

Driftwood bay is a wonderful place that I would love to visit. Filled with great characters with real life problems. Each book you get to meet a new character, find out about their lives and have old friends popping up throughout. That means each can be read out of order but to enjoy the full experience you can read them as th author intended. Nancy is living th dream, in a calm and peaceful bay owning an idyllic bookshop. A will they won't they story where we all know what will happen. But it's still lovely to go along for the journey anyway.

Really enjoyable story of a woman realising her dream of setting up and running her very own bookshop. I particularly enjoyed how with some help she was able to turn the bookshop into a vital, thriving local business. Set in an idyllic place, with lovely kind people, a total balm for the soul.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A beautiful read from Kim. I have read a few of hers before. The story features Nancy and Dennis who bond over Nancy’s new bookshop and make it into a successful business. They fall in love but trouble in the name of Craig arrives. The descriptions of the seaside town of Driftwood Bay are amazing. Keep em coming Kim.

Kim Nash is a brilliant author. This book is set in Driftwood Bay, and Kim Nash describes this village so brilliantly you can imagine being there and part of there community.
Lovely characters that will become your friends and centres around Nancy and Dennis. Nancy owns the bookshop in Driftwood Bay, that even if she won't admit it, needs a little help to make it financially stable. Dennis is visiting his Grandmother and just happens to be a whiz a helping small business.
Get cosy with a cuppa, follow their story, meet their family and friends and you will feel part of this community.

I notice over the last number of years I tend to steer towards crime novels quite alot.
I do love contemporary fiction and the occasional romantic read. But it's mainly crime..
I was delighted however when I came across author Kim Nash some time ago. I've followed her ever since and it is so lovely to watch her grow as an author from her debut novel.
Her Cornish Cove series I really enjoy. It is light hearted but at the same time deals with everyday trials and tribulations.
What I love is how with each book is that she let's us meet new characters from the wonderful Driftwood Bay with familiar characters from the previous books popping up every so often.
How delightful that Kim incorporates a fabulous bookshop into the story in book four.
Her bookshop in Driftwood Bay is what we all dream about having.
Nancy is living our dream..
And there is something so calm and peaceful about the way of life in the bay.
We want it at some point in our life.
Wouldn't it be lovely to pack up and move to the peace and quiet.
Her character Nancy is so lovely on both the inside and out.
I feel people need love in their life and we shine when we have it bringing the very best in us out.
I loved the will they won't they story unfolding between Nancy and Dennis and it keeps us interested.
So very well worth your time..100%
Huge well done to the author..

I loved this so much. Set in Cornwall, a bookshop in a seaside village and a simmering romance. What's not to love. All the characters were interesting and this gave me a real feel for the place. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

📖 The Bookshop at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash

I adored this book and loved slipping back into life in the fictional seaside town of Driftwood Bay, the beautiful place where everyone looks out for each other. I loved the little mentions to the characters from the previous books.

I knew I’d love this next instalment as soon as I heard the title. Owning a bookshop is every book lovers dream so slipping into life following the owner was wonderful and found the story so beautifully written.

I feel this series gets better with each new book. As with others in the series, the characters are so well developed, you can’t help but love them. I particularly loved the camaraderie between the siblings Nancy and Dan, their close relationship with rivalry and playful banter, I love the rapport they had and loved their interactions.

Equally the wit through the book was brilliant! I’ve mentioned this in my last review with ‘Nan’ and love the little quips she makes but in this book those little comedy notes are frequent which really lifted spirits and kept me smiling throughout.

I adore this series and if you are looking for something light hearted with a touch of romance without the detailed spice then this series is just perfect for you.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW

Review for 'The Bookshop At The Cornish Cove' by Kim Nash.

This is the fourth book I have read by this author. It is also the fourth book in the 'Cornish Cove' series but can be read as a standalone. I have also read 'Hopeful Hearts At The Cornish Cove' (book 1 in this series) and 'Finding Family At The Cornish Cove' (book 2 in this series) and 'Making memories At The Cornish Cove' (book 3). I would highly recommend reading them all!!

Yet another absolutely stunning page turner from the extremely talented Kim!! Well done Kim on an absolutely beautiful and perfect read!! This is the ideal beach read where you could sit there and turn around and just imagine the town coming to life around you.

This book is extremely well written with beautiful descriptions that completely drew me in. The synopsis and the cover match the storyline perfectly!!

As I mentioned this is the fourth book in the series and although I always prefer reading books in order myself if you have not read the previous 3 books in this series then there is no need to worry!! All books in this series can be read as standalones and there is a good side of starting a book later in the series and that is that while you are waiting for the next book to come out you can go back and catch up on the previous books!! I was absolutely landed to get stuck into this book after falling in love with Driftwood Bay in the first book in this beautiful series which is called 'Hopeful Hearts At The Cornish Cove'. I just knew this one was going to be just as stunning as the previous three and I was not let down!!! The storyline itself completely swept me away. I absolutely adored the storyline and getting to know the lives of so many different people, seeing their relationships and friendships change and see how they react to secrets, heartache, changes, romance and everything else that goes on in this absolutely fantastic read!! Coming back to Driftwood Bay genuinely feels like returning to a much loved holiday destination where I cannot wait to meet up with old friends and make new ones discovering more about them each and every time. I had been to holiday in Cornwall in March this year where I fell in love with it and missed it before I read this book but OMG Kim has made me want to jump in the car and go straight back now!!! Thankfully I am returning to St Ives again in April so I don't have long to wait to return even though after this book it really does feel like I have just this second returned after leaving there!!! Kim's stunning evocative writing skills ensures the readers are absolutely sucked into the stunning storyline with the atmosphere and characters coming to life all around them.. I absolutely fell in love venturing back into Cornwall and Kim portrays life in a small town absolutely perfectly. I live in a small village myself and Kim really has captivated life in a small community absolutely spot on! I became so invested in this book that it actually felt like going on a holiday and I absolutely dreaded coming to the end where I had to unpack my suitcase and get back to reality retuning to wet and dreary Wales. It was an absolutely compelling and addictive heart lifting read that kept me turning the pages until late at night. I loved discovering the pasts and histories of the characters and the town and I was absolutely swept away in the story line. The town came to life around me and I cannot wait to return in the next book in this absolutely stunning series. In this stunning storyline we delve in to Nancy's beautiful bookshop 'Books In the Bay' which Nancy set up after she was left money in her Aunty Theresa's will. However, Nancy is struggling financially Vi's grandson Dennis steps in to help. i wont tell you more about the storyline as Kim has done an incredible job of telling you what you need to know in the synopsis and you will just have to grab a copy of this page turner to find out more. i can promise that you will not regret it and if you have never read any books in this series before I can guarantee you will find yourself a new favourite author and series just like I have!! With an absolutely stunning storyline ram packed with books, friendship, books, love, community, books, stunning settings, books, romance, painting, books, family and so so much more... did I mention books?? What on Earth are you waiting for? This book really has gone absolutely everything you could ask for and much much more for a gorgeous escape to Cornwall and Driftwood Bay. This book really was a stunning read that had me hoping and wishing that Nancy's dreams continued, spitting my tea out while I laughed so much with some of the absolutely hilarious things Vi came out with, rooting for Nancy and Dennis and much more. I can honestly say that at times I was laughing out loud at so many of the things the characters came out with and I ended up spitting out my tea on so many occasions I gave up attempting to drink while reading it at all!!! I have had an absolute week from hell and this book is exactly what the doctor ordered and it's made me feel so much happier and lighter so thank you so much Kim!!! This book is escapism at its best and is a perfect way to disappear into an amazing world for a while. It is one of those books that I just could not put down and drive everyone mad by walking around reading it every chance I got and ended up devouring it in one sitting!! You really do want to clear your schedules before reading a single word as I genuinely got NOTHING done as there was NO CHANCE i could put this book down at all! This book would make an absolutely gorgeous movie which I would absolutely love to see!!

An absolutely gorgeous, page turning and addictive addition to a stunning series!! Don't even peek into this book until you've cleared your schedules as you won't be able to put it down!!

Although this is the fourth book in the series I would have had absolutely no problems reading it without the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.

I was completely invested in the characters, along with the storyline, who were all absolutely fantastic with their own individual unique personalities, flaws, strengths, weaknesses and quirks. Every one of the characters had a part to play and they were all completely unforgettable. I absolutely loved meeting many of the characters from the first three books in this series 'Hopeful Hearts At The Cornish Cove', 'Finding Family At The Cornish Cove' and 'Making Memories At The Cornish Cove' along with some amazing new characters!!!
Each and every one of the unique characters I had previously met had already become like friends to me and it was lovely to add some more!!! I felt like I was leaving amazing people and friends and feel quite sad about that but am happy in the knowledge that this book is just the second book in this stunning series and I just can't wait to get stuck into more of these gorgeous books. I loved watching how so many characters and personalities from Driftwood develop and go from strength to strength from the first page to the last. I loved watching relationships change and develop and seeing how close knit many of them are. these are characters that Kim has done such an amazing job creating and the fact that she clearly cares about them just shines through the pages. Her amazing emotive and evocative writing skills brings them to life and you can see, feel and hear everything that each and every one of them are going through, seeing and doing. There are just so many amazing characters to meet!! I adored Nancy and her stunning bookshop, watching Dennis see that there is more to life than money, laughing out loud at the amazing Vi and many more and I could keep meeting them time and time again and never get bored. I just absolutely adore this amazing community!! There are just so many wonderful characters that I could go on and on but this review is long enough!!! They all made me laugh, swoon, smile, cry, joyous and much more!!! All of these characters work absolutely perfectly together to make this a stunning page turner and I cannot wait to return to Driftwood to meet them again!!

Congratulations Kim on yet absolutely gorgeous success!!! I'm definitely looking forward to my next holiday to Cornwall and cannot wait for the next book in this series!!! This is the exact reason you are in my favourite author club and here is to your next success 🥂 !!!

Overall this is a perfect, stunning, page turning beach or fireplace read with an amazing gang of characters that will sweep you away to the gorgeous town of Driftwood from the very first page to the end!
