The final part of the trilogy. 3 adopted sisters, the eldest, Valentina, escapes to the Isle of Skye following her marriage break-up and her voluntary resignation . Escapes to her little cottage and the love of her 2 sisters and their families . Hard to put down to discover what happens in her life to bring back happiness .

The final part of the Skye Sisters trilogy focuses on Valentina, the eldest of the three adopted sisters, as she copes with a selfish ex husband and her new life as a single mum. American tourist Xander is an appealing love interest and, as in the two previous books in the series, Sue deals with the emotional challenges of meeting your birth family well. The descriptions of Skye brought the island alive to me again, and I enjoyed the glimpses of Valentina’s younger sisters and their families. Overall a well written story with some twists and turns to keep you turning the pages. Although it’s the third in the series, you could read it as a stand alone novel but you’ll get the most from it if you read the previous two books first.

It's the final book of the Skye Sisters Trilogy and this time the story is focused on the oldest sister, Valentina. Her seemingly great life blew up after her husband Gary had an affair and left her for the OW. She and her son, Barnaby, at least has the summer to look forward in the cottage that she bought in Skye and can spend time with her sisters and their families.

On the way there, she has an encounter with two American tourists, Xander and his nephew, MacDonald. Although older, MacDonald and Barnaby end up striking up a friendship. We see how that friendship ends up allowing Valentina and Xander to spend time together, and eventually leads to them developing feeling for each other. However, both have huge family issues jump out at them and makes continuing very difficult.

The book as with the previous two, again deals with the issue of adoption and birth families, and how it affects adult adoptees even in later life. Another very important storyline in the book deals with what's the responsibility of an estranged spouse if the other person has very serious medical issues. This, in particular, was dealt with in such a compassionate and realistic way that I really enjoyed.

We also get see see Thea and Dev become parents to an adorable little one and how Ezzie and Mats have adjusted to their new normal which was lovely. After a few difficult issues, I was glad to see Valentina and Xander get their HEA . As always, the descriptions of Skye makes the reader really feel like they could be there.

Free courtesy of Netgalley. The third book in this trilogy was as amazing as the first two. My only complaint is I don't think I am ready to say goodbye to the wynter sisters as there is so much more of their lives to explore ❤️

This book's main focus is on Valentina and her Son Barnaby. After the breakdown of her marriage, Valentina is set on spending the summer on the Isle of Skye. On the train she meets an American tourist and his nephew, who seems to be in a bit of a mess, as his wallet had just been stolen in the train station. As they are all heading to Skye, Valentina helps him out.

Once on the island, everything starts to go wrong for Valentina and she definitely doesn't end up with the nice peaceful summer she was hoping for.

Exploring the themes of Adoption, family and broken marriages and the responsibility of parenting afterwards, this is again another beautifully told story.

I would definitely encourage others to read this book (and the first two, if you haven't already). You can read this one as a standalone but as you encounter the first two sisters outcomes, it will give things away. I loved this book but I am biased as Sue is one of my favourite authors.

*Please can we have another book about the Wynter sisters?? 🙏

A really lovely story to complete the trilogy. Very different to the other two books however with a similar theme in places. I felt the ending was somewhat rushed and didn’t hold together as well as the other books but on the whole a really interesting read. If nothing else it really makes you want to go and explore the Isle of Skye

Thank you to the author, publishers and Netgalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review

A sweet story of two people who find themselves meeting on a train the Skye where they are headed for the summer. Themes of family, including adopted and birth family, abound. I enjoyed the love story as well as the tour of Skye.

I was delighted to receive an early copy of this book. I have enjoyed the other books in this series and it was like putting on a comfy cardigan and slippers catching up with the sisters and the goings on in their lives. Endearing and set in glorious surroundings, this is a must read.

I loved this story and the series so a whole. set on Skye the description of the surrounding areas made you want to be there and enjoy the local scenery and even the cold wild swims. Valentina's story was heart warming and sad at times with a few twists and turns which keeps the reader captivated. Beautifully written a story of second chances and love, friendship and family. A real page turner and another great story in this wonderful series.

This is the third story in the sky sisters trilogy and another brilliant read by Sue Moorcroft.
Valentina is the eldest of the three sisters and moves to Skye for the summer holidays with her son Barnaby to have a break and get over her break up from her husband. What is supposed to be a relaxing break turns out to be anything but with a shock accident and her adopted brother Dale getting in touch.
An excellent read which which shows the true meaning of family with a good dose of romance.

I have always loved Sue moorcrofts books and the Sky Sisters trilogy is no exception, Over the sea to Skye is the third book in the series and is valentinas story, Valentina is the eldest of the Wynter sisters, and the only one who hasn’t made contact with her biological family.
Valentina and her son Barnaby are spending the summer on Skye in their holiday cottage, hoping to enjoy some carefree happy family time after the break up of her marriage to Gary.
However the best laid plans are rudely disrupted by an American tourist and his nephew during the train journey to Skye followed by Valentinas ex having an accident and being unconscious in hospital!
The longed for happy family based summer is thrown into disarray as Valentina juggles single parenthood, an ill ex, contact from her biological family and a new relationship!
A wonderful setting, a very complicated family dynamic but an overall sense of love, belonging, second chances and new beginnings!
Would love another book of the Wynter sisters
Thank you NetGalley for this early read

Love the Skye books. Valentina has bought a cottage on Skye where her sisters live and work. She's taken her son Barnaby over there for the summer as shes separated from her husband . She meets American Xander and his nephew MacDonald but they don't get off to the best of starts.

This story centres on Valentina’s story - the oldest of the Wynter sisters. Her husband Gary has left her for her 25 year old assistant. She has taken redundancy from her job and has returned to her second home on Skye for the summer with her son, Barnaby.

On the way north she meets Xander and his nephew, MacDonald. MacDonald and Barnaby strike up a friendship over video games despite the ten year age gap and the adults are thrown together.

Valentina’s summer is changed drastically when Gary has an accident and ends up in a coma. She is torn between loyalty to her ex-husband and her new relationship. Added to this she meets her half-brother and has to decide how to deal with this new family.

Lovely to see the sisters moving on and making new relationships.

An enjoyable read.

What a fantastic book this was to read. It helps if you’ve read the other two previous books to get the full context of some things mentioned but enough is given to let you get the gist. I liked that this book was predominantly featured Valentina, who’s normally been a minor character to her sisters. Some great storylines she was involved in and it made for a fantastic read. I loved the characters of Xander and MacDonald and great to hear more of Barnaby too. Definitely a book to be read!

This third book of the Skye series is absolutely wonderful. It is quite an emotional roller coaster, with some unexpected events, and I loved it from start to finish. I feel like I know the characters as friends, and it has definitely inspired me to take a trip to Skye. It could be read as a stand alone novel, but it’s probably better to read the books in order to get the most out of the complex relationships. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I wish there were more books to come in the series.

Three and a half stars.

And so we come to Valentina, oldest of the three adopted Wynter sisters. Her husband Gary has left her, gallingly for Valentina's twenty-five year old assistant Miranda! Not only that, Gary and Miranda have changed their mobile numbers and persist in withholding the number when Gary calls Valentina so she has no way of getting in touch with him about their seven year old son Barnaby. Unable to face the sympathy of her colleagues, Valentina has taken voluntary redundancy and decided to spend the Summer at her holiday cottage on Skye whilst renting out the former marital home in Inverness.

On the train north, Valentina and Barnaby are sat opposite an American man Xander and his seventeen year old nephew Macdonald, they get talking, and when Zander's hire car is not ready for them when they reach Skye, Valentina offers to drive them to their accommodation. Despite the ten year age difference Barnaby and Macdonald hit it off immediately, bonding over video games. After a prickly start, Xander and Valentina also hit it off, but can it be anything more than a Summer romance when Xander needs to return to his job in Pittsburg after his sabbatical?

This was pleasant enough, throw in unreasonable in-laws, a recalcitrant teen, an ex who's 'found her voice' and a tragic accident and you have all the ingredients for a cosy romance. I enjoyed it, but I felt it dragged a bit towards the end and then finished abruptly.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

This is a third in the series but can read alone . I absolutely loved it. You follow the third sister Valentina with her family and life . Set in beautiful Skye and lovely descriptions .Valentina was a great mother and I loved that. The adoptive element was great and very well written. It was a clever story. Hard to explain but read it . Could not put it down .

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC.

This is the third book in the Skye Sisters Trilogy about Thea, Ezzie and Valentina. This book focuses on Valentina, 47. All three sisters are adopted which is a huge part of their stories.

After Valentina Taylor's husband Gary, 55, leaves her for her own assistant Minerva, 25, she takes son Barnaby, 7, and decamps to the Isle of Skye for the summer where she owns a little house called Overlook Cottage in Rothach, near Rothach Hall where her sisters work.

On the train she meets Xander Courage, 44, an American, and his nephew MacDonald, 17, who are heading the same way. Xander has a sister, Sherry, he adores, an ex, Crystal, who causes problems and a job he no longer cares about, so he's looking for peace and quiet - until he meets Valentina.

Most of the plot is taken up with Gary having a car accident and ending up in a coma, which brings his selfish and manipulative family out of the woodwork, causing problems for Valentina, plus her making inroads into finding out more about her birth mother and getting to know her half-brothers.

I'm sure you can read each book as a standalone but it's so much better to get the connections in each story because while it focuses on one sister, the other characters are always present too and their stories progress in the background.

This is a cracking read. Parts of it are predictable but there is so much to hold interest. Also, I've been to Skye and the scenery is just breathtaking. It's like taking a mini holiday in book form! I also like that the author tells us how to pronounce Gaelic words and names.

This book has it all - a summery landscape, fantastic storytelling with emphasis on family relationships and lots of emotions, a lovely slow-burn romance and a gorgeous cover. I couldn't put it down and I am sad it's the final book in the trilogy. Highly recommended.

4.5 stars

I’ve just finished reading this, the third book in the Skye series by Sue Moorcroft. It was a joy to read and linked in nicely with the previous two books. Each book covers the tale of one of three adopted sisters and all are set on the Isle of Skye. It is probably better to read them in order but each could be read as a standalone. It is always good to ‘meet’ characters from the previous books as you can catch up with their lives and gives a bit more insight into the main character in the current book. The story here involves the oldest sister and her son, her broken marriage and her finding her natural family. A feel good story with of course the obligatory happy ending. A book and a series well worth reading.
