Sunshine & Lightning

Jackson's Bay #1

by Grace Harper

The six stories are set in the fictional town of Jackson's Bay that only comes alive once a year. Ipris Magazine has its gala ball at the Imperial Estate on top of the cliffs, and this year they are celebrating 140 years of publication.

The town is basking in an usually long heat wave. Clothes are coming off, and inhibitions are being lost. We follow twenty-two people throughout the week leading up to the party. Secrets, revelations, ambitions and desires will come to the forefront. Will the men and women overcome inhibitions, stigma and blackmailers by the time they attend the Gala celebrations that will have over a thousand people in attendance?

Sunshine and Lightning is the first of six books.

Karl Spencer walked out on Rebecca Patterson ten years ago and has regretted it ever since. There wasn’t a week that passed by that he didn’t regret running away from her that night. Karl spent a lot of time hating himself for not fighting for their relationship.

Rebecca used her broken heart to fuel her determination to achieve her career goal, Editor-in-Chief of Ipris Magazine. She ignores that she had never had a relationship last more than three months. An enforced week off lands her in Jackson’s Bay at the same time as Karl Spencer.

No matter what, Karl is determined to find out if she still feels anything for him.

Will Karl win Rebecca back?

An intriguing start to this series, which is a second chance romance ten years on from what seems to have been a misunderstanding of feelings. Rebecca and Karl didn't talk it through then but will they be able to now.
Their attraction for each other is still very much there that much is obvious but can that be enough ?
This has certainly opened up the way for the rest of the series and I look forward to reading about the other characters that have been introduced.

Cliffhanger! That upset me to begin with. I thought each story would wrap up one couple, but not. You have to read them all to see what happens... Second, the story is full of typos (I won't mention grammar simply because I think this is a UK based author). I had a hard time getting a read on the characters though, as they're not very well developed. Maybe they grow as the story continues. I won't know that because I have no interest in continuing.

A SHORT READ THAT IS A GREAT INSIGHT INTO THIS AUTHORS STYLE OF WRITING. A SECOND CHANCE LOVE BUT I FELT PARTS OF THE STORY WHERE A LITTLE UNBELIEVABLE, THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE DRAWN OUT A LITTLE. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS REBECCA AND CARL JUMPING INTO BED WITH EACH OTHER AFTER A DISAGREEMENT THAT HAPPENED 10 YEARS AGO.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a novella so a nice quick read but with plenty packed in to it. Great charcters, great story and flow of reading and I'm so lucky to have book two to dive straight into.
