Summer of Serenity
Nicola Marsh
Reviewed by Helen
I do love a good small town romance and one set on the water even better and Nicola Marsh has bought to life this town and its wonderful characters as we get not one but two lovely romances, I hope you come for a trip to Acacia Haven and get to know Summer and Jy and Summer’s mother Rayne and Leo, it is certainly worth the trip.
Jy Atherton is an outspoken principal in the private school system, he cares about the curriculum and is now being punished and sent to Acacia Haven to do a report on the school there with the aim of closing it down because of poor marks, the next four weeks is not going to be good, until he meets one of the teachers who is determined to do everything she can to keep this school open not only do they clash but the spark between them is so strong.
Summer O’Reilly has lived in Acacia Haven her whole life the ocean is peaceful and so good for this intentional community they are thriving and the students are learning so much that will help them in the future she loves the students at the school, but when Mr Jy Atherton arrives in his suit she is going to fight all the way no matter how good he looks or how much she is drawn to him.
Rayne O’Reilly loves her town but has lived with a secret for the last sixteen years and now it is time for her to find love again and move on and when she rekindles a past love a whole new world opens up for her and some secrets are opened up for the better for so many people. Seeing her walls crumble was the best.
Summer is a fiery heroine who only wanted what was best for everyone she has trust issues with men but Jy got under those and made her float with a sensual supposed fling while he was in town, but neither could ignore their hearts for long even if Jy was the enemy, Jy was not looking for love he had been burnt before but Summer made him rethink, seeing them find the love and happiness and a solution to the much needed school had me turning the pages and cheering them on. Of course Rayne and Leo finally found true happiness after all of those years and it was pure joy.
This is another fabulous story from Nicola Marsh who knows how to put words onto a page and bring people to life, make them real and lovable with all of the emotions, this is one that I would highly recommend it is sure to leave you smiling.
