Manchmal müssen wir den Menschen, den wir lieben, beinahe verlieren, damit wir erkennen, was wir wirklich wollen ...
Der achte Band aus der Reihe rund um den Loch Lannick auf der Isle of Skye kann auch als Einzeltitel gelesen werden.
Hannah Ellis spent many years working in childcare before deciding she'd like to write books. When she's not busy writing she likes to read, drink tea and eat chocolate. She also enjoys yoga and jogging.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series and was lucky to have discovered them late, as it gave me the opportunity to read a few of them back to back. The characters and plots are so well written that one is completely immersed. I don't want to put them down! I am anxiously awaiting the next book and am currently feeling a bit depressed that I already finished this book.
Fabulous series and likeable characters. Chick lit escapism. Highly recommended to engross yourself in the loch Lannick world. Tad predictable but worth every second! Looking forward to finding out more of the adventures in the next installment!
From the moment I started to read the Hope Cove series I haven't been able to put the books down, moving on to the Loch Lannick books second. I love how Hannah brings each character's own story to life whilst keeping the other storylines flowing. All of the books in this series are a really easy and pleasurable read,just sad I've read them all! Looking forward to book 9 in November.
We meet a new character Jess in our return to the Isle of Skye and I do hope she features in the last book in the series as there is definitely more to her story. We have definitely all been in her position before so my heart went out to her. Elspeth and Leana are also having issues when it comes to things of the heart. Poor Elspeth is struggling with what she wants from life and finding herself. Leana on the other hand, whilst has always been comfortable with what she has, finds herself also questioning her future.
The book has an almost drama feel to it as the characters hit bumps in the road. At the heart of it though is romance, family and friends. What would we do without them? It’s a reminder how we can lose ourselves and that we need to make time to keep on an even keel and not put the things we want on the back burner. How the family come together to support Elspeth was so good to read and shows us how important it is to talk to the ones we love.
Fragile Hearts by the Loch was a story I fully embraced and read in one day as I was so absorbed by the characters and what was happening in their lives. I can’t believe there is only one more book to go in the series as I loved my time in the wonderful Scottish setting and with characters that have become firm favourites. A heartwarming and uplifting read!
This book focuses on Elspeth and Rory but the other couples are involved and have their own dramas unfolding. I really liked seeing Elspeth go through realistic struggles in her life and relationships and I appreciate seeing a character in a contemporary romance struggle with their mental health, it makes it more relatable and real. I honestly didn’t know how this book was going to end and I was in suspense for a good chunk of it!
Also Jess sucks. She was cruel and manipulative and immature. She needs to get with Alasdair, their toxicity would compliment each other perfectly 🚩🚩 part of me hopes we don’t get more of her but the other part of me wants to see her redeem herself in a healthy relationship where she doesn’t blatantly ignore someone’s words and actions and then blame everyone else. I’d like to see some redemption for her and maybe she’d get better, although Alasdair hasn’t had a ton of growth and it’s been 8 books
The anxiety and worry Elspeth has is brought on by her own need to be able she can cope. Unlucky for Rory he pays the price. So happy that with help everyone is able to sort out their relationships in the end.
This book was loverly it drew you in more & more as the story progressed. I think this is the last book at the moment but it has been left open for another one I hope.
Thoroughly enjoyed this captivating story of family, love and misunderstandings. I hope Hannah continues with these characters as it is a lovely story every time.
