The Winter of Second Chances by Jenny BaylissMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Annie Sharpe has a golden life, wife to Max, her childhood sweetheart, with twin sons Peter and Alex, and chef/owner of a MIchelin starred restaurant. Then a small error on her part leads Annie to confront a truth she's been ignoring for too long. A chance sighting of an unusual advertisement leads Annie to a role as short-term caretaker of a tiny cottage on the Kent coast called Saltwater Nook (the cottage not the village) while its owner holidays with a friend in Cornwall.
The village of Willow Bay is small and friendly, soon Annie, and Saltwater Nook are at the heart of village life, hosting various festivals and parties to mark the passing of the seasons. The only issue is her landlady's nephew John, who seems determined to sell Saltwater Nook to a developer.
This was a pleasant, albeit predictable, small town, over-40 contemporary romance. Annie is a likable character and her revival of the Saltwater Nook cafe acts as a hub for the community as the tourists leave.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
