Prossers Bay #4
One More Step
What should she wish for?
Being a good daughter is a must for Author, Emily Richards. After all, this is all the family she knows, but it’s not so easy with a mom like hers.
After an argument she can’t forget, Emily arrives in Dreamers Bay confused and hurting. Her wish to be happy and not feel like she must answer for everything she is, or does, seems out of reach.
Mason Anderson is happy. At least he thought he was. Then, feisty Emily turns up in town, and he can’t get her out of his head. It doesn’t help that his blood runs hot every time he sees her.
Seeing her pain, Mason isn’t scared off, even though convincing Emily that he’s not trying to ‘fix’ her might be beyond his skills as a therapist.
5★ Review
“Now that I’ve been introduced to the characters, I want to go back and read the other books. Ms. Phipps makes you feel comfortable in the town of Dreamers Bay, like you live there too. The magic of the somewhat nosy, friendly people envelops you as you read the story.” by LRC

Book Review: Emily's Wish by Cheryl Phipps
February 2, 2017

It's always nice to find a book written by an Australian or New Zealand author, and even more so when the story is actually set here. Cheryl Phipps' Prosser's Bay series is set in a small seaside New Zealand town where everyone knows everybody else's business.
Prosser's Bay is a nightmare for someone like Emily, a very private person who doesn't interact with or like other people very much. I have to admit I struggled to empathize with Emily and I didn't quite 'buy into' the romance between her and Mason... I didn't really see what drew Mason to her apart from her looks, and yet he doesn't come across as a shallow character at all.
This is a short book at 106 pages, and the romance in it felt a little rushed. We jumped very quickly from Mason and Emily agreeing that they were hooking up no strings attached, to a declaration of love. I feel like the story needed 'fleshing out' in the middle to fill in the missing parts of their romance.
Despite that quibble, I really rather enjoyed the book. Prosser's Bay felt very 'real' to me, the scene beautifully described by the author's descriptive command of language. I'll give it four stars, but I do wish it had been longer.

"Emily's Wish" (Prossera Bay #4) by Cheryl Phipps
"Emily's Wish" reminds me of a coming of age story. Emily comes to Prossers Bay to write her most recent novel. But she also has another reason for spending the summer there.
Emily comes across as somewhat rude and stand offish as she would rather be alone and keep to herself, yet at the same time she realizes she is lonely.
Slowly she lets people in, especially her initial friend Mason. As she does she begins to learn more about herself. She also begins to have a better understanding of how her relationship with her mother while growing up and currently has affected her.
As she spends more time in Prossers Bay, Emily begins to open up and to understand the value of friends, family and the love of another.
With strong characters and an interesting story line, "Emily's Wish" is an enjoyable and wonderful read which I recommend for any reader.

Family?
A good story about adoption and the questions and emotions surrounding it. Dreamers Bay is a small town where everyone is interested in their neighbors and new people are especially interesting.
