A heart-warming page-turner set on the Irish coast, where secrets hide, romance is waiting and there is every chance to make a new beginning…
Jasmine Delon feels completely lost: having just broken up with the man she thought was the love of her life, all she knows is that she can’t face living alone in her empty apartment in Paris.
When she turns up at her mother’s curiosity shop, nestled in Sandy Cove in Ireland, she hopes time with Sally will help heal her broken heart. Walks along the rugged coastline and nights under endless stars immediately make her feel at peace, and then she meets Aiden, a handsome chef in town, and sparks fly between them.
But a lot has changed since Jasmine last saw her mother. Sally is happier than ever with a charming new man in her life and Jasmine’s not sure where she fits in. Then she’s told about the ruins of an old village in a place nearby called Wild Rose Bay. The locals say it holds secrets about her mother’s side of the family…
Is delving into their history the thing that can bring Jasmine and Sally back together or will it drive them further apart? And is Jasmine brave enough to give in to the call of the Irish sea for another chance at love?
Daughters of Wild Rose Bay is a warm, feel-good novel set on Ireland’s gorgeous Atlantic coast. For fans of Sheila O’Flanagan, Debbie Macomber, Mary Alice Monroe and anyone who loves a story about second chances.

A
cosy and feel-good novel, Daughters of Wild Rose Bay is book four of
the Sandy Cove series.
Jasmine Delon heads to Ireland to stay with her estranged mother, Sally. She's fleeing Paris after her fiancé, Damien deceived and cheated her out of her savings. It's a bitter-sweet journey but made better when she meets up with her best friend from her Parisian school, Aiden Daley. She's not seen him since their graduation and now he's working as a chef in the town's newly opened restaurant. They quickly become reacquainted, but it's Aiden's boss, Connor Flanagan who catches her eye.
Set in the beautiful West of Ireland, the author fills the pages with descriptions of the dramatic rugged coastline of County Kerry. The focus is the relationship between Jasmine and her mother, Sally. However, both women are distracted by the men in their lives…
For a short while, I did wonder if this novel was going to involve a love triangle (it doesn't) as two men show an interest in Jasmine. It's clear from the beginning who is most suited to her, but love is blind and not everyone can see the right way to their own heart. There's also the fallout from Paris. Not surprisingly it catches her up in the sleepy Irish village and is swiftly dealt with. Playing the role of a former spoilt child, Jasmine shows her immaturity. It shines through in her attitude making her look shallow and critical. However, despite this, you can see why she is the woman she became after we learn about her background and upbringing. Thankfully, when the truths from the past are revealed, She's thrilled with the outcome, not only for herself but her parents too.
A large cast of eclectic secondary characters blends well into the narrative. For those already familiar with the series, they'll enjoy seeing favourites again and a glimpse or two of how life has treated them. I read this as standalone and didn't feel I lacked any understanding by not reading the previous three novels. Of course, if you're like me, you'll want to catch-up and read their stories too.
