The Winter of Second Chances by Jenny Bayliss
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Annie Sharpe has it all – an acclaimed restaurant she owns with her handsome husband Max, and two gorgeous grown-up sons. But after one indiscretion too many, she leaves behind the only life she’s ever known.
In search of a fresh start, Annie takes up a position as a caretaker of Saltwater Nook, a creaky but charming beach house on Kent’s beautiful, wild coastline. The village community is an eccentric but tightknit bunch, and Annie is swept up in a whirlwind of their traditional festive celebrations, from pumpkin carving to bonfires on the beach. It soon feels like home – she even reopens the long-dormant seafront café.
Back in 2020 I read The Twelve Dates of Christmas which I really enjoyed so I was glad to see that Jenny was bringing out another book. For some reason I had in my head that this was going to be a second chance romance book but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a heart-warming tale full of winter charm. A lovely seasonal book for when the weather outside is miserable.
Rating 4/5
