Dreaming Under An Island Skye
by Lisa Hobman
Is there really such a thing as a second shot at true love?
After three wonderful years of marriage, librarian Juliette Fairhurst’s heart is shattered when her husband, Laurie, is taken from her much too soon.
Devasted, Juliette decides to take a sabbatical and reconnect with her mother’s birthplace, the village of Glentorrin on the picturesque Isle of Skye.
Welcomed by most of the villagers, Juliette throws herself into an idyllic community life, taking on the role of temporary summer guardian at The Lifeboat House Museum; a role that offers her the perfect escape from the tragedy of her real life.
During her time on the island, Juliette clashes with brooding single dad and artist, Reid Mackinnon and is befriended by his son Evin and dog Chewie. It’s clear that divorced Reid is struggling and scarred by his own painful experiences.
Can these two lost souls find a lifeline to rescue each other?
My Review
A delightful read. This really was a joy to devour.
The story delves into many facets of real life, so you would think joy would be the wrong word but it's not, the characters dive off the pages and into your heart and the setting sounds stunning.
Juliette is a woman that people take to, she would talk to anyone, a kind-natured person who has had a heartbreaking spanner thrown in her life plan.
This is a slow burn romance but is also about self-discovery. Enter Reid.
Reid, I knew the grumpy man was going to be of interest and I was so excited when they properly met. He's a man going through his own journey and how I loved him and wanted to hug him.
All in all this book was a perfect read for me, and my eyes misted up a couple of times along the way.
