Paradise Cove



A Matchmaker Bay Novel, book 2

by Jenny Holiday 


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5



Ok- I want to live in Moonflower Bay!

This was a perfect summer romance read- I loved the setting, and the couple was adorable and the background characters added a lot of fun to the story!

Dr. Nora Welsh is in need a fresh start when she rolls in to the lake-side time of Moonflower Bay as the new local GP. The small town, eager to keep the new doctor pulls put all the stops to make her feel welcome… even the towns closest thing to a hermit, Jake Ramsay can’t help go out of his way to make to bog city doctor at home in their humble town.

Let’s start with the perfect like-side resort town; Moonflower Bay. Situated on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron, the small town known for matchmaking is a perfect place for romance from the picturesque beaches and lake views to the charming Main Street filled with quaint shops and quaint trying spots!

Next you have the delightful pair got Jake and Nora, the handyman and the doctor. These opposites are a perfect pair, both recovering from loss and heartbreak. Dr. Nora has recently left a long term relationship after discovering her boyfriend was cheating on her. She’s sworn off men for a while since relationship track record is subpar at best. Hanyman Jake is a divorcee who is still grieving the loss of his infant son five years ago. He has shut his heart up and drown away the key. These two make a great paring because they both aren’t looking fro a relationship, but they both provide the other just what they need. Nora gives Jake a distraction from his daily routine and quiet support for his grief while Jake is there to fix and solve all of Noras problems, form fixing her deck to feeding her when she gets too busy to remember.

I adored these two and their supportive relationship. They didn’t play into traditional relationship roles and that made it even more encouraging to see. The loss of Jake’s son was handled well. It occurs in memories, but readers should be aware that the sudden death of a child plays a big role in this story.

Lastly, the townspeople and friends assed so much colour and fun to the story. To meddling to supporting Nora and Jake- they were excellent. Since this is the second book in the Matchmaker Bay series, I’m excited to extend my stay and read the first book and get the inside story on the Mermaid Inn and Eve and Sawyers relationship!

I can’t recommend this book enough- this is what summer romance is all about!



Paradise Cove by Jenny Holiday is expected to release July 28th, 2020.
