About the Author
Nicola May lives in the UK, five miles from the Queen’s castle in Windsor, with her black-and-white rescue cat, Stan. Her hobbies include watching films that involve a lot of swooning, crabbing in South Devon and devouring cream teas.

Her bestselling The Corner Shop in Cockleberry, the 1st book in the Cockleberry Bay series, went to #1 on Amazon and stayed there for an unprecedented 6 weeks.

She classes her novels as ‘chicklit with a kick,’ writing about love, life and friendships in a real, not fluffy kind of way. She likes burgers, mince pies, clocks, birds, bubble baths and facials - but is not so keen on aubergines.

About the book
From the author of the #1 Bestselling The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay

All of our favourite characters from Cockleberry Bay are back in this final, heart warming story in the series. Including Hot, Rosa Smith's adorable dachshund and his new-born puppies.

Now successfully running the Cockleberry Café and wishing to start a family herself, Rosa feels the time is right to let her inherited Corner Shop go. However, her benefactor left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.

Rosa is torn. How can she make such a huge decision? And will it be the right one? Once the news gets out and goes public, untrustworthy newcomers appear in the Bay . . . their motives uncertain. With the revelation of more secrets from Rosa's family heritage, a new journey of unpredictable and life-changing events begins to unfold.

The Gift of Cockleberry Bay concludes this phenomenally successful series in typically brisk and bolshy style and will delight the many thousands of Rosa's fans.


Review
This is the third book in the Cockleberry Bay series. In this one Rosa is eager to move on from the past and enjoy her present and future with Josh. Now she has achieved a certain amount of success she wants to pass the gift of kindness on to others.

The Cockleberry Gift shop was gifted to her on the proviso that she can't sell it for ten years. After turning it around and making it profitable she decides to not make the decision of the next worthy owner based on who she knows and what she knows about the person. So blind pick it is.

Meanwhile she is still trying to figure out the relationship with her newly discovered biological mother and is curious about her father. Her marriage is still wobbly at times, probably because she finds it difficult not to become enamoured by other men willing to pay her a little attention.

It's a contemporary read, a chaotic story of love, friendship, insecurities and loyalty.

Sometimes less is more. I don't think May could have squeezed more into this story even if she wanted to. So much that there wasn't enough time to digest one thing before the next was on the table.

It's an energetic read full of strong characters, the problems are bountiful and it starts off with a blast and ends the same way too.
