About the Author

Kate Darroch lives on the picturesque Devon coastline, where she combines her passion for cozy sleuths and her experiences of life as it’s lived in many countries to create compelling Travel Cozies.

Màiri Maguire, a Scots Irish teacher from 1970s Glasgow, heroine of debut novel, “Death in Paris”, has earned Kate many international book awards, including Readers Favorite Gold Medal for Humor, consolidating her reputation as a notable author. Kate hopes her readers will enjoy Màiri’s adventures as much as she enjoys Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes, and that old, old movie, the Perils of Pauline.

Next, Kate created Huntingdon Hart, a dry, witty, prescient, multi-millionaire, tongue-in-cheek cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, who’s in love with a much older woman.

Kate’s most recent work is the Christian Second Chance for Lasting Love series, Sweets By the Sea, a saga of Recovery and Redemption; which her readers say is even sweeter than Màiri’s adventures.

More from Kate

If you want incident-crammed stories that seamlessly integrate Christian values, you’re in the right place. Why is that? Because my own Christian faith is a seamless part of my life. How can you separate everyday life and faith? Don’t ask me, because I can’t.

I wrote Màiri Maguire to make people laugh during a dark time; and I wrote Eric and Lily to give hope and understanding to the families of addicts in recovery, to shine a light on thought processes and emotions which are opaque to most of us; and which those of us with a friend or loved one in recovery would like to understand better. Because I’m a storyteller, not a counsellor, I also tried to tell you a story that would make you both laugh and cry, a story worth taking time to enjoy. I hope that you will decide to spend a little time with Eric and Lily, and that you will find the expenditure of your time to be worthwhile.

My Review

The start to the Sweets by the Sea series, Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay, is my first introduction to Kate Darroch's writing. It will not be the last. I enjoyed this delightful and heartwarming story of having second chances at true love. I loved getting to know Lily and Eric. They had to go through some ups and downs that made me feel as though I was part of the journey. I thought it was a good and sweet story to read.

I am giving Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean romantic fiction. I would love to continue Sweets by the Sea series with the second installment, Christmas in Welcombe Bay, to see what Kate Darroch has in store for her fans.

I received a digital copy of Kate Darroch's Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
