I am very happy to take part in the blog tour for Love Always Lindisfarne which was published on 21st May by Shy Bairns Publishing.
You can read my review of Love Lindisfarne here and Love Beyond Lindisfarne here and Love Always Lindisfarne here
Return to Northumberland where happy ever afters await…
Take a magical trip to stunning Northumberland via the pages
of this feel-good romantic comedy by award winning writer Kimberley Adams. Full
of warmth and joy, it will leave you with a wide smile and a yearning to visit
this iconic location in person.
When the almost unbelievable truth about Kittiwake
Penaluna’s heritage comes to light, the residents are shocked, but in true
island fashion they rally together to protect their fledgling chick as she
faces life-changing revelations.
Meanwhile, the island mourns the loss of its beloved village
butcher, and the closure of the shop on Main Street leaves a hole at the heart
of the community. Then, when other businesses unexpectedly close, rumours begin
to circulate about who might be behind the unsettling changes.
As familiar faces depart, new ones arrive, but not
everything is as it seems. And when a despised figure from the past returns,
old tensions resurface and the island is thrown into further turmoil.
Amid the chaos, Ellie and Zen finally begin preparing for
their long-awaited wedding, but as always on the island, nothing goes quite
according to plan. With difficult decisions to make and obstacles to overcome,
they soon discover that they can weather any storm, because love always endures
on Lindisfarne…
My Thoughts
Holy Island once more provides a great setting for this story of family, friendship and community. There is plenty of romance in the air, with Ellie and Zen planning their upcoming marriage and proving what a close partnership they have. With humour to be found amongst the animals and the villagers, it is a lively and entertaining read.
Central to the story is Kittiwake, who makes a huge discovery about her origin and her biological father. although the truth is a shock to all the villagers. They rally around her as she tries to get to know her roots. You also see how each villager is important to the community and when some are left, either through death or retirement off the island, the effect on everyone is huge. Newcomers to the island bring their own backstories and the arrival of the two sisters cause a few raised eyebrows. This is a fun and entertaining read which takes the story of the community further on.
In short: new beginnings and old friendships
About the Author
Kim was born in Corbridge in Northumberland and still lives
in this gorgeous corner of the world. Passionate about the area, Kim tends to
set her work in the northeast, and why not considering the wealth of stunning
scenery and the warm-hearted locals, both of which constantly give her ideas
for future writing endeavours.
Kim’s debut Love Lindisfarne was released October 2023 and
from its first cover release on social media gained momentum, taking Kim
totally by surprise. Kim had never envisaged writing more than one book, but
here we now are at number four, three Lindisfarne book and a Christmas novella
called the Christmas Angel of the North which is about a nana and her
granddaughter and set in Newcastle.
Kim finds most of her inspiration mooching around cafes
across the Northeast where she ‘overhears’ some of the funniest and warmest
things that are stored away for future use (anonymously of course!) If you see
her, buy her some cake, then she promises never to write about you – unless you
want her to of course!
Kim is very proud of her ratings on Amazon and if you want
to read reviews for her previous books just pop on and you will be able to see
just why Kim gets quite emotional over some of the lovely things that have been
said about the books! If you do enjoy the books, please try and leave a rating
or review, you don’t even have to have bought the book from Amazon, but each
rating helps towards getting the system to recognise Kim and her books.
