Summary

A family reunion takes everyone by surprise....

Jago Treneary hasn’t been home since his father’s funeral three years ago. Now he’s returning to the Isles of Scilly for his brother’s wedding, and is intent on building bridges with his family.

When a last-minute guest arrives to stay at his mum’s house, the trip takes an unexpected turn.

Soon, he’s playing tour guide for Sylvie and rediscovering the beautiful islands he grew up on.

He never expected to feel so at home.

But with his attention on Sylvie, he neglects his family.

Before long, he’s faced with a choice: follow his heart and see where things lead with Sylvie, or put the work into making things right with his family.

One thing seems certain: he can’t have it all.

With his time on Scilly coming to end, he needs to make some big decisions…fast.

This is the fifth book in the Isles of Scilly series and is best enjoyed following the previous books in the series.

Re-visit Scilly

Yes, the narrator’s voice is a bit too “honeyed,” but I got used to it. I know the islands quite well after over 30 years of visits and I loved being able to walk and sail with the characters to the beloved places where I shall almost certainly never go again.

Epilogues and bonus books

Loved this series.Just wish that the books in audio had the epilogues and the bonus books that come with this series. I read these before getting them on audio so was wondering why they wasn’t included

Predictable

Sorry but this was not an enjoyable read, I love Hannah Ellis’ books normally but this was predictable.
Also the narration by Alison Campbell down right irritating in a sickly sweet voice, not at all suited to all of the characters. Felt like I was being read to by a five year old girl !
Why continue the whole series with the same narrator after previous feedback has stated the same thing ?
