I enjoy Sarah Bennets books and i have just finished reading the three books in the Lavender Bay series. I really feel I can't review this one and not say that it was very like the Lavender Bay books. It was also very short . I love a sequel but these series that many authors are putting out as separate books end up being very repetitive. They would read a lot better in just one book.
So putting that to one side,yes I enjoyed this story,liked the characters. It was well written as usual and kept my attention. I just feel these books are becoming a bit similar to each other.

What a lovely read from one of my favourite authors. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters and can’t wait for the next instalment now!
Highly recommended

this was a pretty good book!! I think it was a cozy read, had some heartwarming feels to it, and kept me entertained the whole time!! I think it was cute and had some good themes. I also liked the writing style

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

This was brilliant . Going to be a fab new series . Set in a beautiful beach village. Loved the list of characters at the beginning of the book. We met some great characters in the story. You felt for Dave and Anya in different ways. You had old and new love, families pulling together . Can’t wait for the next one. Sarah Bennett never disappoints . Loved it .

A book full of very likeable characters set somewhere that is idyllic. It’s a good bit of escapism which, although a bit predictable, doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of the story. It’s a good book if you are looking for a gentle read.

Just the Beginning by Sarah Bennett was the latest in a string of new books I’ve read. It was a good one!
