Nathan is a stranger to Ness but they have been sharing coy looks at one another on the train for a while, with neither summoning up courage to speak to the other.

The story follows that Ness is sent to seaside town Pearlholme by her boss to find Nathan and return his phone to him after he drops it on the train. What he doesn't know is that she has been tasked with writing a series of articles about their encounter and how she is trying to track down the 'handsome, mysterious train man'.

Nathan seems so happy-go-lucky that at times I could not figure out how I felt he would feel once he found out Ness had written the articles after he'd fallen for her (and vice versa). However we also learn that he is so shy and keeps to himself that he would feel his trust had been betrayed by Ness after all is revealed. Ness needs to find a way to restore that trust and goes about it perfectly - I had to keep on reading and reading to find out if they got their happy ever after!

Such a quirky storyline based around a carousel which Nathan is lovingly restoring - it was actually really endearing listening to the history of the nuts and bolts and then about Nathan sanding and painting the horses! Carousel's now mean so much more than a child's fairground ride...

I was already enjoying this book but the arrival of Ness' parents, in particular her mum, to the holiday cottage Ness and Nathan were staying at ramped up the giggle factor, it was very funny!

The ending and last few chapters of this story had me doing an internal happy dance!
