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!
