All she wants for Christmas...
When talented
artist Nee Sutherland returns to Butterfly Cove for her sister’s wedding, it’s
only a matter of time before she has to face her own bridegroom
– Luke Spenser – the man she impulsively married, then left in the middle of
the night.
Nee hasn’t picked
up her paintbrushes in months, a part of her is broken. She knows Luke might
never forgive her, leaving him was the biggest mistake of her life – but could
coming home for Christmas be the best decision she’s ever made?
Maybe all she needs is a little Christmas miracle…
My
final visit to Butterfly Cove was a bittersweet journey. On one hand I’m
deliriously happy that I was able to lose myself for a few hours in the lives
of this wonderful group of people, yet on the other I’m sad that it’s time to
say farewell. But Sarah Bennett has wrapped everything up beautifully,
delivering a story that’s akin to a really good cuddle—you just don’t want to
let go.
She needed to find her own way to put the past behind her.”
The
youngest of the Thorpe sisters, Nee, returned to the fold at the end of Wedding
Bells at Butterfly Cove and it was evident that she was struggling. But if
anyone can get her through her difficult times it’s her sisters and their
extended families...and Luke, because let’s not forget that there’s a story
there too.
Let me love you again, Nee."
Oh
Luke. He was the most patient, supportive, loving soul and I adored him. I have
through the whole series—his close relationship with Aaron just squeezes my
heart—but when the spotlight falls on him, he really shows us what he’s made
of. And my heart went out to Nee as she’s hurting, filled with guilt and simply
a little bit lost. But, rather than give us a heavier angsty story which this
could have easily been, Sarah Bennett has once again done the very opposite,
and although times haven’t been and still aren’t easy for Nee and Luke,
together they can try and repair what’s been broken.
…until the moment she stared him in the eye and told him it was over, he would fight with everything he had to reclaim her.”
This
story isn’t just Luke and Nee’s though: yes they’re at the forefront but it’s
very much every other character’s story too, maintaining that close family feel
that has run throughout the series, as well as a wonderful festive atmosphere
and humour.
Please tell me I’m not going to have to watch you two smooching all bloody Christmas.”
This
whole series has been a delight to read, it’s why Sarah Bennett has leapt onto
my auto-buy list and, as the door closes on Butterfly Cove, I’m looking
forward to opening a new one to Lavender Bay in 2018.
