The Guesthouse at Lobster Bay - Annie Robertson
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Welbeck Publishing and I am leaving this review voluntarily
When Emma sees The Guesthouse at Lobster Bay for sale online, she knows it is exactly the peaceful haven and fresh start she needs to recover from a recent trauma. Yet the moment she picks up the keys, Emma's dream of owning a successful guesthouse begins to unravel...
Emma has one month to get the handsome, terraced house with stunning sea views in order before her first guests arrive at the beginning of June, a task made all the harder by the discovery that the previous owner has included her elderly and enormous dog in the sale. And then there's the next-door neighbour, Aidan, the local boat-builder – self-assured and unwelcoming – who Emma must turn to for help in a crisis. As Emma and Aidan work together to get the guesthouse ready, they grow closer, but then Aidan is called away and Emma has to carry on, alone.
The Guesthouse at Lobster Bay is a lovely contemporary romance that I really enjoyed and it was such a wonderful escape. The characters are all really well-written with good pacing throughout. This is the first book I have read by Annie and I have to say I would highly recommend it!
During this book Emma is trying to find her feet again following a terrorist attack on London, which leads to her following her dreams of running a guesthouse.
This book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger but I was very pleased to find out that there will be a sequel, and I am very much looking forward to reading it.
Rating 5/5
