What a great read! – Finding Love in Micklewick Bay by Eliza J Scott

My Review:

So lovely to return to Micklewick Bay once more
With a lawyer, romance and family dramas to explore.
A converted warehouse has apartments that are new
Which people are starting to move into.

Stella Hutton is one of the new residents there
She's determined she no time for a man or romance to share.
She's a lawyer dealing with a tricky case
For whom attraction is very out of place.

So why, every time she meets Alex and his dog, Fred,
Although sparks fly, should she ignore them instead?
With mutual attraction proving irresistible is fate intervening?
Her friends believe it - or could she be dreaming?

With her Mum seemingly now finding romance
Should Stella also give love a chance?
But will her lawyer attitude get in the way
Or will love be found in Micklewick Bay?

There are surprise revelations and someone to meet
But will this prove important or full of deceit?
There's also drama with threats, too,
Making this a great read all the way through!

I really enjoyed the first book set in Micklewick Bay
And this one is also a brilliant read, I have to say!
For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Synopsis:

Welcome to your happy place…

Stella Hutton has everything under control. Her high-flying career as a lawyer relies on her keeping a calm, rational head on her shoulders. She hasn’t got time for love, or space for a man in her glamorous new apartment, a converted warehouse overlooking the rugged cliffs of Micklewick Bay.

But when a handsome stranger walks into the Jolly Sailors pub, with a sparkle in his blue eyes and a head of dark curls, everything changes. Making a beeline for her, Alex Bainbridge introduces himself while a gorgeous Labrador waits at his feet. Electricity instantly sparks between Stella and Alex, as her heart flips inside her chest and her usual strict rules about men fly out the window…

Stella thinks her crush will pass. But every time she bumps into Alex — on her daily jog along the promenade, at the supermarket, inside the Happy Hartes Bookshop — her feelings only grow stronger. Her close-knit group of friends have never seen her like this before. After thirty years of being happily single, has Stella finally met the one? Or will her cherished independence sabotage her chance at a forever love?

Escape to Micklewick Bay in this uplifting, feel-good page-turner, perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Jenny Colgan and Phillipa Ashley.

Author Bio –

Eliza J Scott lives in North Yorkshire with her family and has wanted to be a writer as far back as she can remember. She is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heartwarming stories based on romance and friendship with a generous dollop of community spirit and a hint of humour. She has written and self-published ten novels and has been an Amazon UK Kindle bestseller.

When she’s not writing, Eliza can usually be found with her nose in a book or working in her garden doing a spot of plot wrangling (of the writing variety), and battling against the weeds. The weeds, unfortunately, are currently winning but Eliza is undeterred. Roses are amongst her favourite flowers and she doesn’t need much of an excuse to visit a plant centre where a new rose always seems to mysteriously find its way onto her trolley much to her husband’s astonishment.

Eliza also enjoys having a catch-up with friends over tea and cake, as well as bracing walks in the countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop – for yet more tea and cake!
