Sunny Days On The Boardwalk By Georgina Troy

Slip on your sunglasses, Spring has sprung on the Boardwalk! When artist Jools Jones’, new man Finn Gallichan, leaves the Boardwalk to go travelling for several months she’s not too worried.
She has her paintings to keep her busy and helps her grandmother run their second hand bookshop, Boardwalk Books.
She’s happy to wait for Finn’s return, to pick up where they left off, as absence makes the heart grow fonder – right?
She’s soon drawn into helping Alan Hidrio trace a copy of a book he wrote years before and meets glass artist Marius Arnesen, who, fascinated by her paintings, offers her a place in an art exhibition.
When she begins to suspect that Finn isn’t quite the person she had hoped and Marius steps up to save someone close to her, she wonders if maybe she’s made the wrong decision…
Can Jools rely on her instincts? Or should she risk the chance of a future with Marius?

Book Review – Thirty Days In Paris By Veronica Henry

Because Paris is always a good idea…

Years ago, Juliet left a little piece of her heart in Paris – and now, separated from her husband and with her children flying the nest, it’s time to get it back!

So she puts on her best red lipstick, books a cosy attic apartment near Notre-Dame and takes the next train out of London.

Arriving at the Gare du Nord, the memories come flooding back: bustling street cafés, cheap wine in candlelit bars and a handsome boy with glittering eyes.

But Juliet has also been keeping a secret for over two decades – and she begins to realise it’s impossible to move forwards without first looking back.

Something tells her that the next thirty days might just change everything…

My Review

Newly divorced after an amicable end to her marriage, Juliet is in early fifties decided to visit Paris, the place she fell in love thirty years ago and left behind her love of the life. Being a freelance writer she planned a thirty-day visit to rediscover Paris, reminiscing and reconnecting to put things rights and to finally write her own story.

It is a story of first love, heartbreak and friendship with Juliet as a strong character. The story alternate between the present and past where Juliet is concern and it gave us the insight what happened in the past. The author did a superb job in describing the city. Overall it is lovely love story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
