Emerald Cove, Book 1

By: Lilly Mirren

Narrated by: Coralie Bywater

When a renowned book editor returns to her roots, she rediscovers her strength and her passion in this heartwarming novel from the author of The Waratah Inn.

Sarah Flannigan is moving home to the small, beachside hamlet of Emerald Cove. After years in the city building a career as an editor at one of the top publishing houses in the country, she’s uprooting her life to help her mother run the family cafe after the divorce.

Cindy Flannigan never thought she’d find herself single and alone in her sixties, but when her husband runs off with a younger woman, she uncovers secret debts he’s accumulated that will leave her in dire financial straits for the first time in her life. She calls on her eldest child to help and is delightfully surprised when her daughter moves home to the Cove. But concerns for her daughter's future happiness soon mar the reunion.

Take a trip to Emerald Cove, where no one's a stranger, in this heartwarming and uplifting tale for fans of Debbie Macomber, Danielle Steele, and Sheila Roberts.

Please note: This is the first book in a continuing story.

A fresh perspective

Beautiful story of three women, who are at different stages of their lives and figuring out their true worth. Follow Meg, newlywed who’s faced with tragedy; Sarah, who’s advanced in her career and just broken up with her longtime bf/fiancé; and Cindy, who’s on the cusp of retirement when betrayal can cost her everything that she’s worked for. Great HEA.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This story keeps you captivated.

Lots of great characters in this series. This series has romance, conflict, friendship, family and mystery. I really enjoy these Australian coastal community stories!

Lilly keeps it flowing

Ms Lilly has done it again. What a wonderful storyline and your hooked from the very beginning, I sure hope this isn't a stand alone, the characters are developed very nicely from the beginning. Keep it coming ma'am.

Small Town Literary Fiction you shouldn't miss!

This book follows the lives of four women who all live in Emerald Cove. Sometimes their lives intersect with each other, often times they don't. As the story moved between each person I found myself rooting for each person as they grow and faced adversity. Throughout the book the ladies deal with dishonest employees and the potential loss of their business, dark pasts, loveless relationships and the paralysis of a spouse. The story of this community pulled me in and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
