About this ebook

I catch sight of a familiar face across the street, and my breath stops. I’m not sure any answers he can give me will mend my shattered heart – but I need them anyway. This island has kept its secrets long enough.

 

When Abby steps off the ferry and onto the isle of Kinlossay, she squeezes her daughter’s hand and prays this trip was not a mistake. For the last year she has been receiving letters from a mysterious stranger detailing every moment of his life on this rugged little island. Swept away by descriptions of buttercups dancing on rolling fields, his words were a lifeline to Abby, filling her grey life with colour. But then, one day, the messages stopped.

 

Perhaps Abby should have forgotten about the man who gave her hope again, but she’s learned the hard way that she needs to make her own luck in life. She knows what she felt as she read those letters and she owes it to herself and her daughter to find out the truth.

 

But what if the truth means discovering that nothing about the man you thought you knew is real? When the secret of the island is revealed, will Abby run home to safety, or stay and fight for the life her daughter deserves?

 

Lose yourself on the wild shores of a remote island in this absolutely gripping and heart-wrenching story about holding on to hope and the incredible things we do for love. Filled with secrets and surprises, fans of Debbie Macomber, Rosanna Ley and Sheila O’Flanagan will adore this stunning and totally uplifting page-turner.

This was a nice refreshing story that I read in one day! The story was descriptive and flowed easily. There was a small twist that surprised me. It had the right amount of romance and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I really enjoyed this book, I will have to look for more by this author. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy

BLOG TOUR REVIEW Review for 'The Little Island Secret' by Emma Davies. Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Emma Davies, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous Publication date 21st July 2021. This is the second book I have read by this author. I have previously read 'After The Crash' which I would highly recommend. I was originally drawn to this book by its beautiful eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis and title. The synopsis stated that this book is 'Filled with secrets and surprises, fans of Debbie Macomber, Rosanna Ley and Sheila O’Flanagan will adore this stunning and totally uplifting page-turner.' I am a huge fan of Debbie Macomber so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement. I am also a fan of Emma Davies and if this is half as good as 'After The Crash' it is sure to be a page turning read. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enj

Thank you NetGalley, Emma Davies and Bookouture for the ARC of The Little Island Secret. This is my personal review. Abby is a single mother who owns a bookshop. She lives above the shop with her daughter and together they lead a happy content life. The story has a lot of depth. The story has a friendship based on the love of books that grows when Cam comes to the town Abby lives in. There are lot of things going on in the book and each is so connected it makes for a story that will stay with you long after you have finished the book.
