Another fun read from the Cornish Cove series. Some characters you will remember some are new. Nancy is leaking money before she has a chance to make it, can Dennis help her make a success of the bookshop she’s always dreamt of.?

When I requested this book I didn't realise it wasn't the first instalment until I had finished it. But it didn't really matter as I still enjoyed the book and downloaded all the other books in this series. I really hope there is another instalment soon.

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.

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.

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..
