The Endless Beach: From the bestselling author of feel-good romance

This book continues with Flora's new life on Mure and her work at the Summer Seaside Kitchen, but it also gives you more insight into Joel's character and his troubled history. Alongside this we also delve into Flinton's relationship with Colton, which living on a small island like Mure is still quite controversial. Finally, Saif's character returns more prominently into the story. Not only his life settling in as the Mure community doctor but also his blossoming relationship with School teacher

Three and a half stars. This looked like a sweet book set by a beautiful Scottish beach with a heroine who owns a small café called the Summer Seaside Kitchen. It was … and it wasn't. Flora used to work in a top London law firm for American lawyer Joel, now he works for the resident gazillionaire Colton and he and Flora live in the grounds of Colton's magnificent home. But Joel is a very closed off man; Flora doesn't really know how he feels about her, is she real to him or some kind of selkie muse? It doesn't help that Colton has Joel haring off around the world for weeks at a time. Intertwined with Flora are her three brothers, one of whom is dating Colton, her BFF Lorna and the local doctor Saif as well as a bevy of minor local characters. This novel hits some quite strong themes, probably the only one I can mention that isn't a spoiler is that Saif is a refugee from Syria and his wife and two sons are still missing. However, despite the strong themes it still manages to be sweet and cosy and everything I'd want from a Jenny Colgan novel. This is the second book in a series, although I read it as a stand-alone novel I think knowing the back-story with Flora and Joel would have helped me understand their love story more.

A lovely happy,sad romantic relaxing read..I want to live on murl
