Coming Home to Merriment Bay part 4 by Emily Harvale



Today I am excited to share with you my review of the final instalment of the Merriment Bay series from 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 Four 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 is reeling from the unexpected events of Christmas and as Merriment Bay prepares to toast in the New Year, she’s facing choices she never thought she’d have to make. Her head and her heart are pulling her in very different directions.

Bailey is sitting by Viola’s bedside, regaling everyone with tales from the past but is there any chance he’ll get to see a smile on the lips of the woman he still loves?

Having realised she has made mistakes, will Mary finally tell Cat what she really wants to know?

And what will the New Year bring for Kyra? Will she fulfil the plans she made before she came to Merriment Bay?

When distressing events end more than one person’s dream, can Cat find the strength to fight for the Love she deserves? Sometimes it takes a crisis to make someone realise what they truly want. And Cat has decided what – and who – that really is. But is she too late?




My Review
This is the final instalment in the series and after loving the first three parts I could not wait to get started on this final part.
Cat is in shock after all the events that happened over Christmas and is looking forward to seeing in the New Year with all the residents of Merriment Bay. What she was not prepared for where the decisions she has to make and should she follow her heart or her head. 
With the shock of finding out more about Bailey he is now spending time at Violet's bedside hoping that she will wake up so he can express to her what is still in his heart. 
With so much happening in her life will Cat be able to put herself first and realise just who it is she wants in her life and how much she needs them too. 
I have loved reading this series from Emily Harvale. I have loved getting to know all of the characters and have been through all the emotions with them too. 
Cat is such a fantastic character to read about, she gains in strength as the stories move forward and it's amazing to learn more and more about her past and the reason for the broken relationship with her mother. 
The writing style of this book is amazing and flows so well. The story of families within this book is really strong and full of emotion. At times you will feel tearful as the emotions being felt are so raw. There are also times in the book that will fill you full of happiness and will leave you feeling lifted long after you have finished reading the books. 
I found this series so heartwarming and really one that is perfect for the colder months to snuggle up with. 
This is a brilliant series which is also interlinked with the Wyntersleap series so I'm hoping we get to see more from some of the characters from Merriment Bay and I am already looking forward to reading the next release from Emily Harvale.
