Mermaid Inn

Mermaid Inn


A Matchmaker Bay Novel, book 1

by Jenny Holiday 


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5





After recently reading Mermaid Inns’ sequel, Paradise Cove, and LOVING it, I knew I had to back track and read the Mermaid Inn ASAP.


I love a good second chance romance! Sawyer and Eve broke up 10 years ago after Sawyer publicly cheats on her… Broken hearted, Eve stays away from Moonflower Bay until her aunts passing when she is willed her formerly beloved summer escape, the Mermaid Inn. Trying to keep her heartache at bay, she plans on selling the inn and moving on… that is until she learns of a clause in the will not allowing her to sell for one year. Now she has a year to fix up the inn and mend the preverbal fences with Sawyer since it looks like she won’t be able to avoid him.


Ten years ago Sawyer pushed his love, Eve away she would follow her dreams. Now she is back. Can he fix them while helping fix her inn?


Eve and Sawyer were a delight! After reading about them as side characters int he second book, it was even more fun getting to read their HEA from start to finish. Sawyer has the cinnamon roll hero that you just wanted to take a bite out of! There whenever he is needed for his lady love, friends or his town. Eve had a good transition from her hurt and anger to being able to objectively see what and where she wanted her life to be. It was easy to see that these two were made for each other.


Moonflower Bay is an idyllic lakeside town, that is practically a character itself. I’d love to vacation there. Not  just the town, but the colourful townspeople who give Moonflower Bay its nickname, Matchmaker Bay are a true delight! In true matchmaker fashion, the townspeople (even hero and heroines’ friends) are in their business from the start prodding, hindering, assisting.. whatever it takes to get another HEA in the Bay!


This was another perfect summer romance, Jenny Holiday has definitely become an auto buy author for me!

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love! Childhood neighbours, Devlin Ware and Gwyneth Rhys never know the other felt the same attraction and pull towards the other until the stars aligned at the neighbourhood fete and they finally discover their mutual affection… but they were not mean to be young lovers, since family scandal befalls Devin and he is banished from his family home.  White no where to go and a determination to shed his innocence and become a man, he enlist in a foot regiment… and stays away at war ...

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed. De...

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
