I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cozy, heartwarming, delightful book. I enjoyed every page of it!

What an inspiring read. It had a good neighbourly slant, entwined in an unlikely romance which blooms. Hidden issues among the other characters brings intrigue to the story. A must read, thoroughly enjoyed reading.

A lovely warm story. This was a quick read which I raced through and enjoyed. The characters were lovely and the story just flowed along. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Port Berry is a wonderful setting for this gorgeous new series. Cornwall plays host to this lovely village that’s filled with some incredible people who each want to help those in need. I’ve read plenty of books with a pay-it-forward café, but I certainly don’t remember a whole community pulling together to help rehabilitate the homeless. Of course, their intentions are aimed at individuals and not at solving an entire problem for all, but certainly one tired soul at a time.
With support from her grandfather, Jed, Sophie Moore is determined to offer a taste of normality where she can, and Matt Rose is their first candidate. With the help of their whole network, Matt soon receives a host of treatments, including a haircut and counselling, and he’s humbled to have discovered a village that cares.
This is a story that brought me real joy. I have donated through a local café and support a charity that helps homeless teens, but that never felt like enough. The idea that a complete network of help and support could be created was heartwarming, even though I know it was essentially fictional. I’m aware that there are more resources available, but there sadly isn’t enough.
Sophie is a beautiful person, and her kindness is something that the world needs more of. Her grandfather is a real treasure and feels like the kind of man we would all benefit from knowing. Sophie's history with her ex is all too common, and I am relieved that he is in her past.
Matt had fallen on hard times and was homeless while struggling with alcohol addiction. His determination to become sober was admirable. He had walked from London to Port Berry after receiving a tip that he could find help in the Cornish town. Despite his challenging circumstances, Matt was a good person who just needed a break. It was interesting to read about his thoughts and experiences as he discovered a chance to break the cycle of despair.
The characters are warm, and the story is totally relatable, as I believe we have all seen rough sleepers and wished we could help, or is that just me?
I have high hopes for this series and am already looking forward to the next instalment.

Enjoyed this one, and would highly recommend. Sophie’s grandpa Jed has decided to take homeless Matt under his wing. New clothes, food, shower and even a dentist visit all help, plus offering him a bed helps him getting back on his feet. Included with all this the town has formed a community effort to help people in need. Like the concept, but not sure how this would work in real life (yes, a little cynical, sorry). Naturally this works towards a HEA and I did like the journey. Fun story.

My first K T Dady book. Loved it. A different story covering homelessness and how you get support . Also people’s reaction to it being on your doorstep. I loved the opening chapter so clever. You can have an ace love story but not in a predictable story line . A fabulous read. Really enjoyed it. Read it.

A nice story overall about a small village and their efforts to support those in need. The conversations are a bit stilted, but I enjoyed the story enough to overlook it.

Welcome to Port Berry is a sweet romance following fishmonger Sophie and recovering alcoholic Matt. It offers a lovely snapshot of a small costal town in England with a host of characters. The book is mostly charming but a tad formulaic.

I grabbed this book because it seemed similar to another palette cleansing romance I picked up. This was much less enjoyable although I feel like the target audience for these kinds of books will love it.

I was bored with the main character, who often made choices I couldn’t understand. Everything was rather milque toast. It seemed like even the author was bored.
