Edie Browne's Cottage By The Sea by Jane Linfoot

Edie following her break up with Marcus partakes in a skydive which is followed up with a supposed unrelated stroke.

Recovery is hard and slow and so Edie sets off to stay with her aunt Jo in Cornwall as she can't drive or work and needs to relearn things from reading, writing, maths skills to even wanting to get her sense of taste back after that vanishes too!

Her arrival causes a stir with a handsome man next door, Barnaby catching her quite literally when she first arrives.

Between crafting classes with her ballet mad auntie Jo and renovating her house too as they need to sell to make money, she finds her career coming in handy as she helps her auntie alongside Barnaby and her new craft club friends to decorate the buildings out back in their yard to make into work accommodation and make them some much needed money.

Barnaby also creates Sheperd's huts and so she also helps him to decorate them and to sell them. Through her time in Cornwall she befriends Cam, whom Barnaby is the guardian of and the boy grows find of Edie as he does her...

She also gets Dustin a service dog to help her and he comes to her rescue and form a good bond together.

However with a potential sale of their house and her ex Marcus showing up too alongside all the drama the stroke left from fainting to learning everything a new agin, what does Edie's heart truly want?

Stay or leave Cornwall?

Go back to Marcus or maybe take a chance on Barnaby?

Edie was a rare character in women's fiction to come across, from being seriously ill and daring too she will leave a mark on you and make you grateful for your life. This book was a fun sweet read and the cakes you read about will have you wanting to get baking or buying too as well as the craft talk make you want to have a go too, it did for me anyway!

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
