The Boardwalk by the sea - winter whimsy

 

Winter Whimsy

Zip up your puffer coat, winter has arrived!

When Lexi Davies discovers that her father has sold the fishermen’s cottages she runs as holiday lets and where she also lives, she is heartbroken. Then, when Oliver Whimsy arrives at the boardwalk and announces that he is the new owner, Lexi realises that the future she was looking forward to enjoying at her cottages is over. 

Oliver might be handsome, wealthy and very sexy, but he’s new to the island and has already made a terrible impression on the locals. When he offers Lexi a job, she’s unsure whether she should accept. Unfortunately, she has little alternative if she wants a roof over her head for the winter.

As Lexi gets to know Oliver better, she discovers there’s far more to Oliver Whimsy than she or anyone else had imagined. Just what is the heartache Oliver’s trying so desperately to hide and why was he so determined to buy the cottages? Lexi wants to find out, but in order to do so she’s going to have to spend time with him…

My Review

Most books set by the sea take place in summer but the winter setting for Winter Whimsy is simply perfect reading for this time of year. It was great to see the characters 'out of season' and that the story takes place over several months, not just Christmas.

Georgina Troy's writing style carries the reader along and is as light and crisp as the first snowfall of the year. Her characters are so well drawn that I spent most of the book really disliking Lexi's father for selling the cottages. I like how Lexi is independent and doesn't just take the easy option offered and by the end of the book, the author skillfully makes us feel a little bit sorry for Lexi's father.
