Walking Walrus Café
Walking Walrus Café follows three generation of women who own and work at the Walking Walrus, a beachside café. Years ago, cancer took Monya's husband and left her alone to raise their daughter, Nina. Now fourty-five, Monya has built the Walrus into a first-class diner with an excellent reputation.
Monya's daughter, Nina, and granddaughter, Louisa, have both grown up with the restaurant as central to their lives. Nina works part-time for her mother while raising Louisa and going to school, and Lou is grandma's "helper," and adored by Monya's clientele.
When art dealer, Brett Grayson, shows up in town for an estate auction and stumbles into the Walrus looking for caffeine, Monya is shocked by her intense instant attraction to the Paul Newman look-alike. On a rainy morning, Monya takes pity on a dripping, thirsty man, and lets Brett into the Walrus even before the store is open. He soon learns that this kind of hospitality and care is par for the course with Monya, and Brett is intrigued.
When he buys her flowers, takes her to dinner and kisses her goodnight to thank her for her kindness, Monya realizes that emotions she thought she'd buried with her husband are coming back to life -- a complication, since Monya knows Brett isn't in town to stay.

I enjoyed Walking Walrus Care immensely.
It was generally well written with a light hearted slant, and had an entertaining story line which kept me reading.
Leigh Macfarlane, is writing another in this series and I am very much looking forward to reading that one.
If you enjoy a light romance with a few twists and turns, I recommend you download this book.

This is book one in The Peachland Passions Series and it is Monya and Brett's story. This is a really beautiful love story between a more mature couple which made a really nice change and I loved reading it. The characters and storyline was so engaging and well written and you felt like you were there with them and living through everything that was happening to them and I had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next and what the outcome would be for them all. Leigh Macfarlane is a new author to me but I can't wait to read more of her book's in the future and I definitely recommend you read this book and you will not be disappointed.
