As Boundless as the Sea

Coming Back to Cornwall #3

by Katharine E. Smith

"I absolutely loved this book and really hope there will be another in this series." Two years into her new life in Cornwall, and while Alice Griffiths’ own romantic hopes have been dashed, it appears that whichever way she looks, her friends are getting hitched. A handsome stranger at Bea’s wedding could well change Alice’s fortunes but she may be better off ploughing her energies into her working life. While each season brings a new wedding, the months leading up to Christmas, and David and Martin's big day, become about taking risks for Alice. Should she leave the safety of the Sail Loft Hotel? Is starting a business the best idea she and Julie have ever had, or the end of a beautiful friendship? And should she push Sam Branvall out of her mind for good and take a chance on handsome, successful Paul Winters? From upsetting her manager at the Sail Loft, to Sam moving back to town; not to mention a phone call announcing her mother has been taken seriously ill, it’s going to take a cool head to navigate successfully through this year. Luckily, Alice has her friends to support her. Even if they are all getting married. If she can just keep her cool, and keep her friends, then she should make it safely through to those cold winter nights and twinkling Christmas lights. A Second Chance Summer, After the Sun are books one and two, while Sticks and Stones, Lighting the Sky and Something About the Stars continue this wonderful, witty and warm series. Book seven is underway! "After the end of book two, I couldn't wait for this title, to find out what would become of Alice, and all the other characters. Katharine writes in a way that makes it easy to get caught up in the narrative, and care about the characters. Without giving anything away - I was delighted in the ending. But there is a certain character I would have preferred to hear more from. The mark of a good book to me, is when you keep thinking about the characters afterwards, and I am still thinking about them nearly 24 hours after finishing the book." "Another fabulous book in the series! Katharine has such a way in her writing that I can almost smell the sea air, and am at any party that is in the story. I feel I am quite emotionally attached to the characters and have a clear picture of them in my mind. Such a lovely series, and this third book is a lovely continuation to the story; you certainly don't feel the story is being dragged out in any way. A fourth book is a MUST (pretty please!) Would recommend to anyone." "I loved this third book in the Coming Back to Cornwall series. I think it is the best one yet. I was gutted to finish it because I managed to fall head over heels in love with one of the new characters. I just love how real and relatable the author makes her characters. She does not stick to bland, carbon copy, all white, heterosexual lead characters but includes a very realistic mix and gives each the full attention they deserve. I really hope there will be more to come." "This is wonderful!! I've had the great pleasure of reading all 3 books in this series and each one got better. I love the way she makes the characters and places so real, you could almost be there and each person you feel you know personally. I absolutely loved this book and really hope there will be another in this series."

Book three didn't fail to be as entertaining and unputdownable as the first two. Thoroughly enjoyed it... and yes, it made up for my sadness at the ending in book two.

As Boundless as the Sea.

After reading the first book I couldn't wait to continue to read book two then book three. It was easy as a reader to feel involved with all the characters. Although the final outcome was inevitable the journey to that point was exceptional.

Julie and Alice have lived in Cornwall for 2 years now and loving every minute of it. Sam has been out of town and Alice has found a new friend in Paul. Although she can't get Sam out of her mind.
Julie and Alice start a new business which seems to be flourishing. All goes well until Sam comes back in town. Will Alice stay with Paul or return to Sam? This is quite a dilemma for her.
This story remains so ineresting I can't wait for the next book,

Another good book in the series set in St Ives

[Jan Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books (trilogy) are addictive and having spent many years in St Ives in Cornwall. I was so immersed in the characters that it was hard to leave them behind at the end of Book 3!

Loving all these books. Can really relate to the characters and the ups and Downs of their lives. Just read book 4 too. Just as good.

As brilliant as the first two books and as soon as I finished it I had to download Book 4. Great read while still in lockdown 😀
