When Demetri announces that he needs to return to Greece to care for his sick mother, Michelle is torn. Can she start again...again? When she decides that this is something that she cannot do, Michelle and Demetri agree that the best way forward is no contact after he leaves. It would hurt too much to still be talking to each other.
Michelle is heartbroken but she is beginning to pick herself up again with the help of her friends, Jo and Emma who we met in the previous books in the series. One day she is shocked to find a man on her door step. At first, she thinks it is Demetri but it turns out it is Makkis, his brother. When Michelle explains that Demetri has gone home Makkis is surprised as he says that their mother is fine and suggests that there are other reasons for him to return home. Did Michelle really even know Demetri at all, or has she been played.
Makkis stays with Michelle and soon he is offering to help out with her business dealings and more. Can she trust Makkis more than she could ever trust Demetri?
A good guide to how invested you are in the characters in a story is how you react to some of the things that they do. As Michelle made several of her decisions I was yelling noooo in my head! I did, however, love the storyline with her brother. That part of the story made me feel quite emotional!
In all three books in this series, building community is a really important part of the story. In the first book, the friends were instrumental in building a Lonely Hearts club for the town. In the second it was a Christmas pantomime and in this one it was a barn dance (in an actual barn). When I was very young my family was involved in square dancing so we used to go to a lot of barn dances!
Once again, Kim Nash has delivered a really lovely story of friendship and love, healing and growth all set in a nice community near the beach in Cornwall! I am already hoping for the next book!

About the Book
Love Blooms at the Cornish Cottage
💔 How do you mend a broken heart? 💔
Michelle finally thought she’d found love with her hot Greek doctor. But when Demetri reveals he’s returning home to care for his sick mother, Michelle’s dream future crumbles. Choosing not to follow him feels like losing more than just love - it feels like losing who she’d started to become.
Determined not to fall apart, Michelle decides to throw herself into rebuilding her life in Sandpiper Shore, but then unexpectedly, Demetri’s brother, Makkis, arrives on her doorstep. Offering him a room seems like the kind thing to do… but the constant reminder of her lost love is difficult for her heartbroken soul.
And the more time she spends with Makkis, the clearer it becomes: there are parts of Demetri she never knew… Just as Michelle starts to heal with a little help from her friends, she’s faced with a decision: fight for the love she knows she deserves, or finally learn how to let go…
