Double Blog Tour – Life Boat Sisters/ Second Chances of Lifeboat Sisters

Escape to candy-coloured Seaspray Cottage on the Cornish coast, with its stunning views of honeycomb sand beaches and aquamarine seas, where Ava is about to make a brave new start…

When Ava Morrow’s beloved father Jack is killed on his lifeboat at sea, the Cornish village of Port Promise unites in grief. Jack’s twinkling eyes and warm smile are remembered by the whole village, and Ava is determined that he will never be forgotten.

Inspired to follow in her father’s footsteps, Ava quits her job and begins to train as a lifeboat volunteer, alongside her best friend Harry , who was with Ava’s father the night he died. As they work side by side every day, Ava begins to see Harry, with his sea-green eyes and his sandy blonde hair, in a different light. Ava’s mother and sisters are worried about Ava’s safety and want her to stop, and Harry is the only person who really understands what she needs to do. Still, she pushes her feelings to one side, afraid to risk their friendship.

But when, one summer’s evening, Harry reveals a tragic secret about the night that Jack died, Ava’s world is turned upside down once more. Will his secret drive her away from him and the new life she loves?

If you love golden sands and crystal waters, picture-perfect Cornish villages and books by Jessica Redland, Jo Bartlett and Nicola May, you will fall in love with this romantic, heartbreaking read.

The first few parts of the story was gripping. The story starts with Ava’s father being killed while in the sea and Ava wanted to follow her father’s footsteps. However when one of her childhood best friends reveal a secret, Ava’s life seemed to have turned upside down.

I really enjoy reading Tilly Tennant’s books and so far, this book is one of my favorites. I do like the bond that was shared between Ava and her sisters and so it was interesting to read about their sisterly bond with each other. This was a long book but nonetheless you can read it in one sitting. You can actually feel sorry for Ava and I liked reading about Ava’s relationship with Henry. I do like the descriptions of the village and that made me as a reader feel like I was a part of the story. Overall, thi book worth five stars!

In the tiny village of Port Promise, where the wind tangles your hair and the cobbled streets twist down to the honeycomb beaches, Clara Morrow is planning her wedding.

After a whirlwind romance, Clara is excitedly planning her wedding to her handsome fiancé Logan in the picture-perfect Cornish village of Port Promise, with her mother and three sisters at her side.

She will never forget the day when she first caught sight of artist Logan, the sea-mist curling the ends of his dark hair, as he strode across the gorse-covered cliffs near the village. She feels so lucky that Logan seems happy to make her home his own, painting on the windswept Cornish beaches and calling in for lunch at the fish shack where she works with her best friend.

But when Logan inherits a beautiful house in London and reveals that he wants them to build a life there, it’s a huge shock for Clara. She knows it could be an amazing new start, but when she thinks about leaving her family behind, her heart aches.

Suddenly it seems like she and Logan have very different dreams. Can they find a way back to their happy ever after or will the mismatched lives they want threaten everything they have built together?

A beautiful heartbreaking read about love, life and starting again, Second Chances for the Lifeboat Sisters will whisk you away to a place where you can watch the sun set and feel the sand beneath your toes.

This is the second book of the series and this time, the focus is on Ava’s sister, Clara.

Clara is planning a wedding after a whirlwind romance to Logan with her sisters and her mother at her side. But her fiance, Logan inherits a house in London and wanted to start their new chapter there. However, even though Clara wanted to move to London, the thought of moving away from her family overwhelmed her. Now it seems that both Clara and Logan each have different dreams so can they have a happily ever after?

You first get to know Clara in the first book, but you don’t have to read the first book in order for you to read this book. Once again, I was transported back to the dainty Cornish village, the small town of Port Promise. The vivid descriptions of the place made me feel as if I was also living in this scenic Cornish village. This time the focus is more on towards Clara and personally, I like Clara more than I did towards Ava. She has to make a decision if she wanted to leave Port Promise or not but I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t want to leave! I do like the sibling relationship and her relationship with her own mother.

So overall, I rate this book as five stars!
