Today I am sharing with you my review of this latest instalment from Merriment Bay by Emily Harvale. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Part Three of this heartwarming four-part serial about finding the strength to put the past behind you and to reach out for a future filled with happiness and love.
Cat and Kyra have finally traced the man in the photo they found in Viola’s trunk – thanks to Amias. But Bailey Mitchell lives thousands of miles away and is almost ninety-eight, so meeting him in person is never going to happen. Which is just as well. Exchanging Christmas cards and chatting on social media leads to revelations Cat had not expected.
At least Christmas is looking promising. It may be freezing outside but things have definitely thawed between Cat and her mum, Mary. They’re actually getting on, especially now that Mary is dating Jeremy Stone, the builder working on Viola’s house.
Cat’s also hopeful that Viola’s situation may improve. And when a surprise visitor brings more than just well wishes, Cat’s Christmas takes a delightful turn.
With the festivities in full swing, and snow falling on Merriment Bay, the future’s looking bright. Christmas is a time for miracles and Cat believes she may get one of her own this year if she’s prepared to put the past behind her and open her heart to Love once more.
My Review
It is Christmas time in Merriment Bay and things are looking up for Cat, and her daughter Kyra as they now know the identity of the man in the photograph they found amongst her grandmothers things thanks to Amias. They only issue they have is that Bailey Mitchell, the man in the photo lives thousands of miles away and he is ninety eight years old. Meeting up will not be an option for either party so they have been sending Christmas cards and talking via Social Media. It is while the chats are happening that Cat finds out some new information that surprises her.
Christmas this year will be a happier time for Cat and her Mother, Mary as they both seem to be getting along together even with Mary's new man on the scene.
This Christmas with magic in the air and snow beginning to fall Cat is hoping the magic will create miracles and that she will be able to put the past behind her and maybe she will be ready to fall in love.
I really enjoyed reading this third instalment from Merriment Bay. It is great to read about the change in season and all of the Christmas feelings are amazing. It is lovely to read that Cat and Mary are really beginning to rebuild their relationship after everything that happened in the past. It is also lovely to read that love could finally be in the air for Cat.
I really enjoyed all of the series so far and I am already looking forward to reading the final instalment.
