“Janet Pywell is known as an author of crime and has now has added a softer side to her suspense. This story is a broad step from the author’s usual mystery -in a fantastic place-. This is human emotions, the light and the not quite so light. Learning how to trust by listening. Showing you are able to feel but know when not to. A roller coaster ride of relationships. Romantic scenes without the need for descriptive sexual scenes. I loved it. The words flowed. Once everyone left me alone, I read it in one sitting. A story with heart. A good plot, life today without the drama, characters you will feel like you already know from somewhere in your life. Enjoy the journey toward something suspenseful, with heart, great characters, and a bit of good spirit. I hope Janet tries this feat again.” – Amazon Review
Someone Else’s Dream:
A heart-warming story of love, adversity and friendship
(The Westbay Romance Series Book 1)
A feel-good romance
High-flying London lawyer Amber Hendrix thought she had her life perfectly planned — a successful career, a loving partner, and a dream investment in a cosy café on the Kent coast.
But when heartbreak turns her world upside down, Amber finds herself alone in a seaside town, facing financial ruin, local hostility, and a business on the brink of collapse.
Determined to turn things around, Amber throws herself into saving the café — and along the way, discovers unexpected allies in JJ, the feisty pub landlady fighting to open an amusement arcade, Ben, the moody gallery owner with a troubled past, and Eva, the florist learning to heal after loss.
As Christmas draws near, old wounds resurface, loyalties are tested, and the spirit of community is put to the ultimate test. Can Amber find the courage to rebuild not just her business, but her heart?
A heart-warming, uplifting story about courage, friendship, and finding hope where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Heidi Swain and Trisha Ashley.
Grab a blanket, pour yourself a hot chocolate, and escape to the Kent coast!
