Drøm deg bort til vakre Solvik... Hvis du liker Debbie Macomber, Susan Mallery eller Nancy Naigle, vil du kose deg med denne boken!
Isabella lever sin drøm, som den stolte eier av blomster- og gavebutikken Anemone. Men den innleide sommerhjelpen - eller rettere sagt hennes mor - skaper mer intriger enn godt er i den vesle byen Solvik.
Remy er lei mas og drama og klar for en ny start på flere måter. Han har sagt opp jobben som toppchef på en stjernerestaurant i Oslo, til fordel for et nytt og roligere liv ved kysten. Lite vet han at sommeren kommer til å by på langt større utfordringer enn han noen gang kunne forestilt seg.
Det er med andre ord duket for en opplevelsesrik tid ved havet - for livet i Solvik blir aldri kjedelig!

Having read the first 4 books in the Solvik Series, I was eagerly awaiting the 5th. Happy to say I was not disappointed! I keep getting more and more impressed by this author. Not only has she created the beautiful town of Solvik for us to enjoy, but she has managed to create unique characters in every book. The main characters are very much unlike each other, and the story reflects their personality exceptionally well.
I find "Kun det beste" a bit different from the others - but not to worry! I can still tell it is one of Mette Barfelt's, and you meet the by now dear and familiar faces and places. However, there is even more to this book; the mystery part is on a much deeper level - I could literally feel the emotions as if they were my own. I enjoyed getting to know Isabella - a strong and passionate woman struggling to heal the scars from her past, and Remy - a tough-looking man with a kind and gentle soul underneath the hard exterior.
The author has yet again written a genuinely believable and heartwarming story of love and hatred, of how to turn the negative into something positive and give love a second chance. It is easy to relate to the characters and the story, and there is a lesson to be learned as well.
Although they are all stand-alone, as always with series, I recommend starting with book 1. Happy reading!
