Welcome to The Starfish Café – where you will find stunning views, delicious food and lifelong friendships.

Two broken hearts.

Since she inherited The Starfish Café, Hollie has poured her heart into the business, striving to keep her mother’s traditions and warm-hearted spirit alive. But behind closed doors Hollie is searching for true happiness as she grieves the tragic loss of her family who were once the beating heart of the café…

An unexpected meeting.

Jake lives by two rules: don’t let anyone get close and don’t talk about what happened. Little does he know that a chance meeting at The Starfish Café, facilitated by a fluffy lost dog, is about to turn his world upside down…

The chance to love again.

Can Hollie and Jake break down the barriers that have been holding them back from finding love and happiness, before Christmas comes around? After all, with courage, nothing is impossible…

 

This was a fabulous winter read and one I’d definitely recommend. Both heart-breaking and heart-warming in equal measure (but in a good way!), it was an absolute pleasure to read and if you’re already a fan of Jessica’s writing, you’re going to absolutely adore it. If you’re new to the wonderful writing of Jessica Redland, then this is a great place to start.

I warn you though…once you’ve started, you won’t be able to stop and you’ll have to catch up with her other books (especially the Hedgehog Hollow series!).
