The Waffle House on the Pier by Tilly Tennant / #Review #BooksOnTour @bookouture TillyTenWriter

 

 

Run away to Sea Salt Bay, where the sand is warm and soft, the sea is a perfect blue, and a candy-coloured waffle house is about to change Sadie’s life…

For as long as she can remember, Sadie’s grandparents have run the waffle house on the pier at Sea Salt Bay. With its pretty painted chairs, sweet smells, and the warm advice of her beloved grandparents, the waffle house is like a second home

But when Sadie’s grandfather dies, leaving her grandmother without an anchor, Sadie must make a difficult decision. She quits her job and moves back home, determined to keep things going. The trouble is, she knows nothing about running a business, and learning at a million miles an hour with a shop full of hungry people isn’t easy. When she nearly burns the waffle house down, she has to admit she needs to get some help.

Her ex-boyfriend Declan promises to be there for her but Sadie worries that getting too close is a mistake – especially as he has a new girlfriend now. And anyway she’s just met newcomer Luke, with his gorgeous suntan and mellow voice…

Sadie’s family have always loved Declan and they’re not too sure about Luke, leaving Sadie unsure which way to turn. A terrible accident at sea forces her to look into her heart, but what if it’s already too late to tell the right man that she loves him?

 

 

Review

Sea Salt Bay: that’s a name that makes me want to pack a suitcase and head over there. Sea, sun, sand and a lovely book. What more do you want?

This story is filled with all sorts of emotional moments. There are some heartbreaking ones, some that leave you gasping, some that have you sniggering, some that have you laughing, some that melt your heart.

I love the strong bond between the family members. They do disagree, they do have fights, but in the end they stick together like glue and figure out what’s best for everyone.

Old love never dies, but it changes. New love is the way to go.

Why do I have the feeling that there is room left for a sequel? I most certainly would not mind, because I said goodbye (hopefully not for ever) reluctantly.

A great summer read that I enjoyed a lot. Not on the beach but in my sunny garden which is also very nice. 🙂 5 stars

Thank you, Tilly Tennant and Bookouture

 

About the author

Tilly Tennant was born in Dorset, the oldest of four children, but now lives in Staffordshire with a family of her own. After years of dismal and disastrous jobs, including paper plate stacking, shop girl, newspaper promotions and waitressing (she never could carry a bowl of soup without spilling a bit), she decided to indulge her passion for the written word by embarking on a degree in English and creative writing. She wrote a novel in 2007 during her first summer break at university and has not stopped writing since. She also works as a freelance fiction editor, and considers herself very lucky that this enables her to read many wonderful books before the rest of the world gets them.

Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was her debut novel; published in 2014 it was an Amazon bestseller in both the UK and Australia. In 2016 she signed to the hugely successful Bookouture and is currently working on her next Tilly Tennant novel. She also writes as Sharon Sant, where she explores the darker side of life, and Poppy Galbraith, where things get a little crazier.
