Hi Lovelies,

I've had a couple of really busy weeks with the publication of Candlelight Dreams in Cosy Cove, and I've been blown away by the absolutely wonderful reviews - thank you all so much!

Here are just a few

"Delightfully sweet and charming"

" I love Abbey’s books, her writing and descriptions are so lovely and her characters are wonderful people you wish you could be friends with. If you love reading romance series’ then give this lovely book a try!"

"The characters are fun. The town is adorable. Beth and Jacob's love story was heartwarming. "

"A charming and romantic read that whisks you off to a lovely seaside town filled with wonderful characters that make you feel welcome. Perfect for those weekend blues where you just want an escape from reality for a while. "

If you've read Beth and Jacob's story in Candlelight Dreams, book 1 in the Cosy Cove series, please consider leaving a review - it means so much to know that all the doubts I had over taking the plunge into self-publishing have all been worthwhile! :)

And if you can't wait for your next visit to Cosy Cove, book 2, Petals and Promises in Cosy Cove is available to pre-order now, release date 30th March, so not long to wait!

Lily Morgan thought she had everything she needed—her beloved flower shop, Boutique Blooms, a legacy from her late aunt, and the charming coastal town of Cosy Cove that she now calls home. Known for her artistic floral designs and sunny disposition, Lily has built a life filled with friendship and the simple joys of seaside living.

But when Austin Parker, a dedicated history professor with a warm smile and a passion for uncovering forgotten stories, walks into her shop, the last thing she expects is the spark that ignites between them. Austin has come to Cosy Cove to write a book about the town’s history and care for his grandmother—yet his discovery of a secret that links their families together brings him closer to Lily than either could have imagined.

As their friendship deepens, so do their feelings, but with Austin facing a life-changing career decision and Lily hesitant to let her heart lead the way, they must decide if love is worth the risk. Can they overcome their fears and find a way to preserve both the past and their future together?

And in other news....

I'm delighted to announce that book 3, Moonlight Melodies in Cosy Cove is also available to pre-order, release date (provisionally) 20th May, but I'm hoping it might be ready before that date!

Here's the cover reveal:

When indie music sensation Zoe Hart swaps the spotlights for the serenity of the charming seaside town of Cosy Cove, she’s hoping for peace and quiet away from the paparazzi. Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with her grumpy neighbour, single dad Sam Powell, who’s determined to keep showbiz drama far from his door.

Sam’s hands are full raising his adorably shy daughter Ava, who dreams of singing but can barely whisper a note in public. The last thing he needs is a glittery pop star stirring up trouble—no matter how dazzling her smile might be.

As the community buzzes about an upcoming talent show, Zoe sets out to prove she’s more than just tabloid fodder. Can she help Ava find her voice and, in the process, thaw Sam’s icy exterior?

Just when the unlikely trio starts to sound like a perfect harmony, Zoe’s rock-star ex crashes back into her life. Will she choose the glitz and glamour of her old world, or take a chance on the new melody she’s discovered in Cosy Cove?

That's all from me today,

Bye for now,
