My Review
29-year-old Lexi inherits three fishermen’s cottages after her mother’s death, her only source of income. However, she’s stunned when Scottish businessman, Oliver Whimsy, claims he bought them from Lexi’s father. Suspicious of her father’s new girlfriend’s role in the sale, Lexi is left jobless and homeless. Oliver, showing a softer side, offers Lexi a typing job and lets her stay in a cottage. Despite the island community’s initial reservations about Oliver, Lexi discovers his true, kind-hearted nature and learns why he was so drawn to the cottages.
This is brilliantly penned by Georgina. She captivates you right from the beginning with her inviting and heartwarming narrative. While reading, it felt less like going through a book and more like a conversation with a dear friend. Georgina’s vivid descriptions made “The Broadwalk By The Sea” come to life, tempting me to vacation there instantly. I felt immersed in the story, a testament to her genuine storytelling. This book was a pure joy to read, and by the end, I felt comforted, akin to sipping a warm beverage.
