Coming Back to Cornwall #3
As Boundless as the Sea
Alice Griffiths thought she had found her fresh start by the sea. But while her own romantic hopes have faltered, it seems everyone around her is moving forward - falling in love, getting engaged, and planning their happily-ever-afters.
A chance meeting with a handsome stranger at Bea’s wedding offers a tempting distraction. But with her career at a crossroads, Alice wonders if love is a risk she can afford to take. Should she leave the security of the Sail Loft Hotel? Is starting a business with Julie the opportunity of a lifetime - or a mistake that could cost them their friendship?
And then there’s Sam.
Should she finally let go of the past, or risk her heart all over again?
As the year unfolds, life throws more than its fair share of challenges her way—from tensions at work to unexpected returns, and a devastating call from home that changes everything.
Through it all, Alice must rely on the people who matter most. Even if they all seem to be walking down the aisle without her.
Because if she can hold onto her friendships, keep her courage, and trust her instincts, she just might find her way through to those cold winter nights… and the magic of Christmas lights.

Book three didn't fail to be as entertaining and unputdownable as the first two. Thoroughly enjoyed it... and yes, it made up for my sadness at the ending in book two.

As Boundless as the Sea.
After reading the first book I couldn't wait to continue to read book two then book three. It was easy as a reader to feel involved with all the characters. Although the final outcome was inevitable the journey to that point was exceptional.

Julie and Alice have lived in Cornwall for 2 years now and loving every minute of it. Sam has been out of town and Alice has found a new friend in Paul. Although she can't get Sam out of her mind.
Julie and Alice start a new business which seems to be flourishing. All goes well until Sam comes back in town. Will Alice stay with Paul or return to Sam? This is quite a dilemma for her.
This story remains so ineresting I can't wait for the next book,

These books (trilogy) are addictive and having spent many years in St Ives in Cornwall. I was so immersed in the characters that it was hard to leave them behind at the end of Book 3!

Loving all these books. Can really relate to the characters and the ups and Downs of their lives. Just read book 4 too. Just as good.

As brilliant as the first two books and as soon as I finished it I had to download Book 4. Great read while still in lockdown 😀

I don't usually read a series back to back, but I felt like continuing the story. A good series for summer reading
