We are back for our third and final visit to the little village of Bothilde Bay, Cornwall. The first two books are ‘Christmas at the Little Cornish Gift Shop‘ and ‘Spring at the Little Cornish Gift Shop‘.

This time Ruby and Jake are trying to make a go of their relationship but are wanting to take things slowly as they have both been hurt in the past. Nanna comes over all funny when a face from the past makes an appearance in the village, Lucie is back to try and cause issues with Jake and even the dogs Amber and Sherlock Bones are up to mischief.

I love Rachel Griffith’s books and this series has been a real joy to read. I’ve loved following Ruby and Jake’s relationship gradually develop and adored spending time with Ruby’s nanna Harriet. I also love how much of a part of the book the two dogs play.

This book although does include nanna Harriet having to deal with a face from the past mainly dealt with Ruby and Jake and their relationship and how they truly felt about one another. The ending was perfect, even if I did expect it to go in a slightly different direction and I will miss my visits to Bothilde Bay and the cast.

If you are after a new series to get into I can suggest this one, the books have all been a pleasure to read, they are set in the most gorgeous village right near the sea and who doesn’t love a book with dogs in. They each make you feel happy and are heart-warming too. It’s not one you can pick up partway through though, so make sure you start at the beginning and work your way through the three books.
