Just one of the Readers Favorite reviews I am humbled and honoured to have been given

Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay: Sweets By The Sea by Kate Darroch Review: K C Finn
Christian fiction, romance, and interpersonal drama. Suitable for the general reading audience as a clean romance read.
Readers are introduced to this heartwarming Christian novel set against the idyllic backdrop of Welcombe Bay. In a tender portrayal of second chances at lasting love, the story unfolds in a small Christian community on the beautiful Devon coastline.
Focused on recovery and redemption, it narrates the journey of an alcoholic in AA finding sobriety and love, intertwined with the struggles of a woman haunted by past abuse. The holiday setting of Thanksgiving adds a touch of warmth and hope, aligning with the novel's theme that with God's love, all things are possible.

Kate Darroch masterfully navigates delicate themes such as alcoholism and abuse within the framework of a Christian community, infusing this delightfully romantic narrative with a sense of hope and healing.
The author's loving and detailed depiction of the characters and the small seaside community creates a comforting atmosphere, drawing readers into a tale of kindness, openness, and the transformative power of love.
I was especially impressed by the sense of atmosphere in the coming together of cultures, as the gorgeous scenery of the Devonshire coast played host to the comings and goings of our central couple and their cohorts.
The characters also have some superb dialogue exchanges, making it easy for readers to connect with their struggles and triumphs, and moving the plot smoothly forward without too much chunky prose.
Overall, I recommend Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay as a charming and engaging read for romance fans, also one that leaves a lasting impression of warmth and compassion.

5 Star review by Edith Wairimu for Readers Favorite

"This unforgettable story is a powerful illustration of love and redemption."

Set in a quaint town situated along the stunning Devon coastline,
Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay: Sweets By The Sea by Kate Darroch
is a captivating romance story about recovery, healing, and second chances.

After a traumatic accident, Eric Wilcox joins Alcoholics Anonymous and begins his sobriety journey while serving a probation sentence. He meets and begins to fall in love with Lily, a
woman who is still traumatized by her abusive ex-husband.

The novel chronicles Eric’s journey in AA, including his struggles and growth during his early sobriety days.

Challenges arise as Lily and Eric navigate their personal lives and their budding romance. God’s constant love and their enduring love for each other become their guiding light even during difficult moments.

This unforgettable story is a powerful illustration of love and redemption.

It offers an eye-opening look into alcoholism and the journey to sobriety. It also masterfully tackles other important topics including abuse, trauma, and recovery.

I loved that both main characters face struggles that will resonate with many readers. Though fraught with obstacles, their journey is hopeful and encouraging.

Secondary characters who mainly comprise members of Lily’s Christian community at Welcombe Bay are equally interesting.

The story takes place in a splendid town with breathtaking scenes. Lily’s café is beautifully described and is a wonderful setting for Lily and Eric’s meetings.

Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay by Kate Darroch is an enthralling Christian romance
told with faith and heart. Readers will love its authentic characters, lovely backdrop, and powerful lessons.

Thank you so much, Edith Wairimu, for this lovely review.

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving!
