I thought that this was the sequel to The Summer Seaside Kitchen, however it is the third book in the series. Despite that, it wasn't a hard jump to know what was happening as the same characters were at the core of the book.
I definitely enjoyed being immersed in the world of Mure island again. That fictional place and its characters are as comfortable as they were in the first book, but a bit of the charm was missing. The writing was rougher in spots, the relationships between the characters were a bit more trite. The ending was a bit too neat in some parts and a bit unfinished in others. Everything had the faint air of an older Harlequin Romance novel.
Still, I thought it was a good read, especially if you are looking for a gentle romance with a few tears along the way.

Een heerlijk boek in een fijne kerstsfeer! Wel vond ik sommige situaties iets té stereotyperend, maar dat hoort er misschien een beetje bij. ;) Ik vond het in ieder geval weer een leuk deel uit deze serie en ik heb er zeker van genoten. Ik blijf elke keer jaloers op dat fijne eilandleven waarin iedereen elkaar kent en voor elkaar klaarstaat.

Another good book in the series. I really enjoy most of the characters but Joel is starting to get on my nerves. I feel like he hasn’t developed much as a character and I’m questioning why Flora is still with him. Other than that, I enjoyed the book.

I enjoyed this sweet story. The characters were lively, the setting stunning, and the storytelling was sweet, not too predictable or happily ever after. A nice read for the season.

Exactly what you would expect. And what I needed facing an intense week of professing.

I am reading them out of order but still enjoying the characters and island of Mure. Of her books I’ve read, this series is my favorite. Light and quick but fun.
