For me this book was a slow burn and I’m still unsure as to whether the criminal element was necessary. There were also a few blips which I thought were odd, like she moved to a new town but drove there in her car? Wouldn’t that have been able to be traced? It took a long time for me to warm to the characters; however by the end I was routing for the fmc and mmc to sort out their misunderstanding and get together. Overall a pleasant read if you take it for what it is #TheLittleCottagebytheCornishSea #NetGalley

Kate has left her life behind in London, leaving a controlling boyfriend, Wil and escapes to Starry Cove, a place that she had shared many wonderful memories with her father.

She tries to stay in hiding, but when she finds out that she is pregnant and meets some amazing ladies, she lets her guard down a little and starts to enjoy her life in the beautiful place.

A wonderful story of love and determination, friendship and loyalty.

A must read!!

The little cottage by the Cornish Sea

This book sounded like everything I would love but for me it didn’t quite reach the mark.
Kate finds herself moving from London to Cornwall to escape a cheating boyfriend who’s also trying to frame her for stealing documents from their workplace.
I didn’t really feel a connection to the MFC and found her choices to be very hard to believe. The story would change subject so quick I often found myself wondering if I had skipped a page.
Whilst this wasn’t for me the story will be a good easy read for some.
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC.

some authors you can rely on. Nancy is most certainly one of them. her books give me smiles,warmth and an escape. they also make me totally want to be taken to the places she describes. come on, one day a community like this has got to adopt me right?
this book brings us Kate who is having more than a hard time. both work and personal life have given her a kicking, and it seems both are by the same idiot man. grrrrrr. she feels she has no choice but to drop and leave everything behind. shes hurt and needs to get away from this place and these people hurting her. so she might just resort to becoming someone completely new and running to a place she cherished all those years ago. back to Cornwall.
what kate wanted was a place of safety. a place to hide and lick her wounds. but she gets so much more with people who envelope her into them and possibly a little bit more sparkle in the mix for her too.
but of course all is not without a few things coming her way that threaten or at least cause stumbling blocks in her new life. but we are all rooting for Kate rooting for her big time.
another gorgeous read from a brilliant author.

We meet Kate who finds herself in a really bad situation as she finds out the man she has been with for years now has another woman,this is bad enough but then she also finds out he is trying to frame her for stealing documents from the firm they both work for, which happens to be his Dad’s firm……seeing no other option she runs away assuming her boyfriends new girlfriends name and hasn’t a clue where to go……she ends up in Starry Cove in Cornwall,an idyllic,safe,known to her from childhood village in Cornwall not really knowing what will happen or what her future,short and long term,will be

What Kate finds is somewhere to live,albeit not her first choice,to start a new life and plenty of nice welcoming villagers who protect her…….and of course she finds an unpleasant man ( Piers ) who is determined to be ‘off’ with her whenever he can….

I think maybe you can guess the rest and that’s what makes this book such a good read,there are twists and turns but you get the feeling all will end up well for Kate in the end

Loved Starry Cove and the characters we met and got to know,an ideal place to find herself if needing help and reassurance

A pleasant mainly uplifting read that taken as it’s meant to will do as you expect it to 😊

Kate leaves London when she finds out her boyfriend and boss is trying to frame her for blackmailing there clients. When she goes to his house to find the evidence she finds out hes had a fiance all the time they have been together. She decides she has to leave london right now and takes some of his fiancee clothes with her as she cannot go back to her flat.
She runs away to cornwall to Starry cove and takes on another name to protect herself.
All of the locals are lovley to her apart from one guy who his set out to make her life misserable until she ends up working for him.

Such a cute book, the perfect scenery, lovely and descriptive. Kate is fresh from a bad relationship and she runs to her happy place, lucky for her she didn’t share that with her ex Will. She runs and quickly becomes part of the local safety net of women. They quickly scoop her up and offer her friendship, love and security. She is living under an assumed identity buy how long will that keep her safe for. She worries what will happen when the truth comes out.
Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Not the story I expected but I loved it . Starry Cove is the place to live. So many kind people . You had a nasty lying and a lovely slow burn romance. Some good twists. Just escape into it .
