It’s December in Heritage Cove and along with the village Christmas tree, frosty mornings and the promise of the most wonderful time of the year, the new waffle shack is about to open. And its owner isn’t a stranger to the Cove, because after all this time, Daniel is back to make amends with his brother Harvey – as well as a few other locals he might have offended along the way.

Fairly new to the village, local blacksmith Lucy has kept up the pretence of being with her ex for the sake of his gran but she’s fed up with all the lies. Determined to come clean and live the life she wants to live, she’s devastated to find that her attraction to Daniel is tainted by the fact he’s hiding a few things of his own. And his secrets are ones she isn’t sure she’ll ever be able to get past.

Heritage Cove is full of friendship and community; it’s a welcoming place people visit and never want to leave. But will it work its magic for Daniel and Lucy?

My Thoughts:

This is book two in the Heritage Cove Series and can be read as a standalone liked I did. It is set in Heritage Cove in December, how Helen has written the descriptions of the weather and everything else was perfect, it felt like you were there feeling the cold crisp air against your skin. Lucy is a blacksmith and I found this part of the story really interesting about how Lucy uses her skills to craft different items. So clever. Daniel has just set up his business in Heritage Cove, a waffle shack which the locals are going to love especially around Christmas time. When they first meet they hit it off instantly, they are both attracted to each other and to see how they start to bond was lovely until Lucy finds out something about Daniel that could rock the boat, they both have been through a lot, but can they turn this around and be happily ever after? It was a nice light read, one that was predictable but well worth the read.
