The Summer of Serendipity {review and giveaway}

Can you smell the Summer holidays? I can! Today I’m taking part in the book tour for The Summer of Serendipity by Ali McNamara. Read on for my review of this great summer time read, and for your chance to win a copy.

The Summer of Serendipity

One summer, property seeker, Serendipity Parker finds herself on the beautiful west coast of Ireland, hunting for a home for a wealthy Irish client. But when she finds the perfect house in the small town of Ballykiltara, there’s a problem; nobody seems to know who owns it.

‘The Welcome House’ is a local legend. Its front door is always open for those in need of shelter, and there’s always a plentiful supply of food in the cupboards for the hungry or poor.

While Ren desperately tries to find the owner to see if she can negotiate a sale, she begins to delve deeper into the history and legends that surround the old house and the town. But for a woman who has always been focussed on her work, she’s remarkably distracted by Finn, the attractive manager of the local hotel.

But will she ever discover the real truth behind the mysterious ‘Welcome House’? Or will the house cast its magical spell over Ren and help her to find true happiness?

I really enjoyed this book. It’s an easy read and I was intrigued by the plot. It kept me guessing to the end as every time I thought I had figured it out something else happened. I liked the main character and loved the setting. Although I admit I never figured out who sent the letter!

The Summer of Serendipity by Ali McNamara was published 13th July 2017, paperback priced £7.99. It is available from  Amazon and all good book shops. If you like the sound of this you’ll be pleased to hear that it features some characters from her other book set on the west coast of Ireland in Breakfast at Darcy’s.
