A good book

I’ve read a lot of Jenny Hale and I enjoyed this book, it linked nicely from the first book in Firefly Beach, although it could be read as a stand alone book. It didn’t take me long to read it, and I wasn’t surprised by the ending. Had a couple of unexpected twists in it which kept you reading. I would definitely look out for Jenny’s next book, and thank you for accepting my request.

Reading a new book from Jenny Hale is like putting on your comfiest slippers and sitting down with a lovely warm drink a cold night. So soothing and familiar and always a delight!

This was a fun beach to read and I enjoyed revisiting the Firefly beach characters. The setting is beautiful and a long ago love made for a good summer read.

DNF - Did not finish. I did not connect with the writing style or plot and will not be finishing this title. Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

I was hesitant to read this because the adjective "sappy" is so often used to describe it, but honestly, it's a good sappy! Maybe I've become a sap, maybe it's just that good, but either way, I loved this more than I thought I would. The House on Firefly Beach is sweet, a little angsty, and the perfect summer escapist read.

Jenny Hale. A masterful writer and storyteller!
This did not disappoint. It was such a lovely, sappy, sweet, romantic and magical story that gave me all the feels!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Jenny Hale and Bookouture for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.

I really fell for the location almost instantly, Jenny Hale writes such fabulous small town USA romances that I couldn't help but be enchanted by Firefly Beach and Starlight Cottage.

However the will they - won't they get back together between Sydney and Nate seemed to take forever to be resolved, and although I could tell they had chemistry when they were younger, I wasn't fully invested in whether they had a HEA or not.

But I was incredibly curious and what kept me reading was discovering the real reason Nate, not only broke Sydney's heart all those years ago, but also why he is back in his hometown now.

I was interested in Juliana's story as there is far more to her than you may imagine, and I also enjoyed getting to know the rest of Sydney's family and discovering whether or not they would have to sell Starlight Cottage.

A really enjoyable book from an author that I love reading.

Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Fairly nice and romantic summer beach read that hits a bit on the sappy side. Love, sandy beach, sun, fun and even a wedding.

This is such a fantastic love story. I really enjoyed how at the heart of every relationship issue it comes down to communication. Young love and first love stay with you on your life journey.
Nate and Sydney are both young, in love and looking forward to a beautiful future together. Then without any conversation or reason why Nate leaves Sydney. Sydney is lost without him. Several years later Sydney has returned to Firefly Beach after a failed marriage and with her son Robby. Nate has become a very successful song writer and he has now returned home as well.
Will Sydney give Nate a chance? Will Sydney be able to get past the hurt and pain Nate caused her?
Thank you Netgalley for complimentary copy. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

The House on Firefly Beach by Jenny Hale was a lovely feel good, easy to read book. A great book reminding me of summer and time spent on the beach. A great escapism in this current pandemic. Another great book by Jenny.

I loved visiting firefly beach again in this sequel. Though some parts were drawn out like the first one and a bit overly descriptive I still enjoyed this read

A cute little beach read. I'd love to finish reading the rest of the series. I do appreciate the author tackled some tough subjects, but overall I loved the beach feel throughout the entire book. I grew up near the Gulf, so this book was a little treat to read.
