Part of Me by Kelly Elliott
5.0
Dear Readers,
It has come to my attention that New York Times Best-Selling Author, Kelly Elliott, has written and is about to have released her second book in her series 'The Seaside Chronicles' which has been titled 'Part of Me'. This reader once more was very thankful to have early access to this next chapter in the series, which will no doubt be a hit with the bookish ton as was the first instalment. Are you ready to return to Seaside?
As mentioned in my previous review for the first instalment in this series, Returning Home, I posed the question 'Will her new series bring forth all that we know and love about her writing--plus, perhaps, something new entirely--, making us fall in love with her all over again?'. Well, dear readers, I am happy to bring you good news to answer this. The answer is 'yes' to both. Kelly manages in this latest novel to both give us all that we know and love about her writing, while cranking up the sweetness and spice. I, for one, fell for her writing all over again. With Kelly, a read always feels like coming home.
It's good to be back in Seaside.
There is one aspect that has to be mentioned, and that is the blurb. This juicy tidbit of information gives us all we can-and will-expect to read in this novel. The focus this time is not on Gannon and Addie, but on Sutton and Brody. If you noticed a familiar name out of those two, then you are right. Little miss Sutton is Addie's sister. The question now is this, will her fate be the same as her sister in securing a Happily Ever After, or will there be a twist in the tale? There is only one way to find out. Pre-order your copy of Part of Me, and get ready for more fair winds and blowing seas.
Daring and bold, Part of Me as previously mentioned, is as deliciously sweet as it is spicier. In the right places, that is. And I'm sure you know where I mean by that, dear reader. The balance of sweet and spice has been executed well, weaving in situations that hold our breaths, make us gasp, swoon and bite those lips to keep grins and giggles tempered down. Praise, it must be said, needs to be given to Kelly for being bolder with the bedroom (and non-bedroom) scenes. This reader wholeheartedly approves of what she has read and would like to politely demand more!
This enthused reader was over-the-moon happy with this novel, as it exceeded every prior expectation and then some. There was always this feeling that I was going to like what has been written here, based off how Returning Home concluded, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I LOVED it. I will and am going so far as to say that not only did Kelly Elliott impress me with this novel, it has also made my must read and top read of this year's lists. Bravo!
What are you waiting for? Roll up those trousers, shuck of your shoes and socks and dip your toes into this next read that will get sand in all the right places, and give you everything you love about the sea, sun, romance, and Ms Kelly Elliott.
Safe sailing through this sea of love, fellow readers. Until next time! Five stars!
