The Greenley Players are back practicing their
Shakespeare and, as usual, things aren't going to plan.
Sarah Powell is fed up with her sad single status
and when her estranged father walks back into her life things get even worse.
Can dishy doctor Finn MacDonald mend her broken heart and help her figure
things out?
TV star, Nate Hardy's career is going from strength
to strength until his performance is interrupted and he has to flee the West
End to hide away in Greenley. Will he ever get his career back on track or will
Sarah and the rest of Greenley's madcap residents capture his heart
forever?
Review
It wasn’t until I read a couple of chapters of this book that
I realised it follows on from The Little Theatre on the Seafront published last
year, this didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the book at all as Katie Ginger has
given us enough background details that you can work out what happened previously.
If you want the full story you can of course go and read that book first.
Sarah has been the previous star of the Greenley Players but
she’s struggling to connect with her character, this might be because Miranda’s
falling in love for the first time and for Sarah romance is sadly missing in
her life. Still recovering from her cheating ex Vince she’s been on several disastrous
dates while secretly harbouring a massive crush for her work colleague Finn
MacDonald, the local doctor. I instantly connected with Sarah she’s a fun-loving
girl who’s just starting to find her place in life after a few tragic years.
She’s caring and supportive towards her friends and I was hoping she would find
someone who would truly adore her so she could feel totally secure.
Actor Nate Hardy comes to Greenley-on-sea when his love life
is splashed across the national newspapers and he needs a place to hide. To begin
with I didn’t care much for Nate. He was portrayed as a famous actor who’d
cheated on his wife then run away when things got tricky but as the story
developed and we find out more about him he gained my sympathy. It must be hard
to live in the limelight and have your every move scrutinized by outsiders. He
helps the Greenley Players work on their performance and seems to form a
special bond with Sarah. But when the dust settles, and he can return to his
old life can Nate leave Greenley and Sarah behind.
I loved Summer Season on the Seafront, it maybe classed as a
romance novel but has so much more to offer. I loved how the story revolved
around the theatre and its production of The Tempest and gave a real feel for theatre
life. The romance isn’t over the top and too mushy which for me makes this the
perfect summer read. I’d love another visit to Greenley-on-Sea just to find out
more about the notorious Mrs Andrews.
Thank you so much to the publishers and Katie Ginger for
sending me a copy to review and to Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to
be part of the blog tour.
