My thoughts on Autumn Dreams at Mermaids Point
Set in a delightful village on the English shore, Autumn Dreams is a beautiful contemporary romance.
Is it ever too late for a second chance at love? Both the main characters are dealing with the loss of their first love. They certainly weren’t looking for a new relationship, but attraction can not be denied.
The story addresses loneliness, grief, and the effects of loss and sorrow on children and spouses.
There is a lovely bit of backstory woven throughout the book, making me instantly reach for the first book in the series. While I do wish I had read the earlier story, it’s not because this book doesn’t work as a standalone. The story, the setting, and the characters are so captivating, I need to read more about all of them.
Nerissa’s story is captivating. The heartbreaking loss of her fiancé followed by years of grief have the poor girl aged before her time. Tom, Emily, and Max are dealing with their own tragedy. When fate brings all these broken people together in Mermaids Point, healing magic is bound to happen.
There is also a scene-stealing pooch in this book. I laughed so many times at the humor brought to the “tale” by Toby.
I cannot wait to read more from this author!
I read the book through Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited Program. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
