‘She’s smart, funny, kind-hearted and she’s really straightforward. What you see is what you get.’
His unexpected kind words brought a lump to Ros’s throat. She couldn’t remember anyone ever saying something so nice about her before.
Sometimes, you have to fake it until you make it…
Finding Love at Sunset Shore is another heartwarming love story by Bella Osborne.
Ros is too busy for a boyfriend; between work and looking after her poorly father, there’s no time left for a relationship. But when she overhears her dad’s dying wish is for her to find love, Ros is determined to make it happen – or at least, make it look like it has.
Enter Cameron, a struggling mature student with a mountain of debt but a zest for life.
Ros, driven by love for her ailing dad, reluctantly agrees to the simple business paying Cameron to play the role of her boyfriend. Ros meticulously plans their fake relationship – but when Cameron decides to go off-script, chaos ensues.
As Ros and Cameron navigate the ups and downs of their faux romance, their differences drive each other crazy. But they may just need each other more than they think…
Sometimes, a bookworm just needs to read a charming, sweet romance, and this book checks off all those boxes. It’s just a delightful read. There is just so much to love about this book. If you are looking for an easy, breezy romance to get lost in for the afternoon, then this book is for you. Bella’s a great storyteller who keeps her readers entertained and engaged with what they are reading. Finding Love at Sunset Shore is a two-for-one romance, and what I mean by this is that we get to watch Ros and her best friend Darla find their perfect match. I loved the friendship between Ros and Darla. They have such polar opposite personalities but can have such a solid and deep friendship. Ros is very blunt, socially awkward, and sees the world in black and white. Darla is a big ball of fun energy and maintains a wonderful, positive attitude no matter what happens in life. They are so good for each other, and I loved their friendly and witty banter.
Ros and Darla are both fantastic characters. Ros, though initially prickly, undergoes a beautiful transformation as the story progresses. Her growing relationship with Cameron, who is a positive influence in her life, is a testament to the power of love and understanding. I’m not always a fan of fake dating books, but I loved this one. I devoured the reversed grumpy sunshine romance between Ros and Cameron. Cameron was such a great influence on Ros. He was understanding and charming and gently pushed her to try new things.
Finding Love at Sunset Shore is heartwarming and perfect for bookworms who are looking for a sweet pick-me-up read.
