Chasing Moonbeams in Merriment Bay Kindle Edition

by Emily Harvale (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,336 ratings
Cat has found true happiness in Merriment Bay. Will a discovery in Devon Villa change that?

Cat Devon is finally with the love of her life – and she couldn’t be happier about that. But discovering the identity of her real dad and the fact she has two half-brothers was a shock. Getting to know her new family is now a priority.

Kyra Devon is only eighteen, but she’s more mature than her mum in many ways and is coping far better with everything that’s happened. Kyra knows what she wants and unlike Cat, she’s not going to let opportunities slip away.

Mary Devon has regained her daughter and her granddaughter, but she’s grieving for her mother, and also for the loss of the love she thought she’d found. Putting on a brave face may not be the best way for Mary to get over it.

When a long-lost painting called Moonbeams Kiss is discovered in a hidden cellar beneath the floorboards in Devon Villa, a story of love, loss and treachery unfolds, bringing with it repercussions for each of the Devon women.

This is Book Two in Emily Harvale's Merriment Bay series which is interconnected to her Wyntersleap series. Each series can be read alone, but several characters appear in both series.

“She writes with such love and passion you can’t help but relax a bit as you read, maybe we should ask for an ‘Emily’ book on prescription in these times of unease because of the pandemic.” – Ali -The Dragon Slayer – reviewer.

“This is another absolutely fantastic book by a superb author. I have loved every second of this book. It has been a delight to read and highly deserving of five shiny stars.” – Little Miss Book Lover 87 - reviewer

“There’s a beautiful flow to this book, and it’s a lovely bit of escapism. An uplifting and entertaining read, if you haven’t tried this series before I’d really recommend it.” – Sibzzreads – reviewer.

“Another perfect escapism read from Emily Harvale and I look forward to seeing what comes next for the residents of Merriment Bay.” – Novel Kicks – reviewer

“Her latest has not only met my expectations it’s far surpassed them and I’m happily anticipating where all the characters will head to next. Another terrific, five star read which I’m happy to recommend.” – Grace J. Reviewerlady – reviewer

“The discovery in Devon House was fantastic and really hooked me in. I love a bit of mystery and this was very well written, with intrigue and great information. It’s definitely action packed” – The Comfy Chair – Book Reviews – reviewer

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Emily writes novels, novellas and short stories about friendship, family, the things life throws at us, and falling in love. She loves a happy ending but knows that life doesn't always go to plan. Her stories are sure to bring a smile to your face and a warmth to your heart. She is a full member of the Society of Authors and since her first book was published in 2012, several of her books have been best sellers.

Emily lives in East Sussex, UK, minutes from the sea in a town called Hastings - famous for the Battle of 1066. The stunning surrounding countryside and quaint English villages often appear in her books. Emily lives with her rescue cat, Portia, and when she's not writing, she loves to read, cook, drink (too much) wine with her friends, and potter in the garden of the house she's recently bought. She also loves skiing, adores frolicking in the snow, and is a self-confessed lover of Christmas - which can't start too early, in her opinion.

Emily loves to connect with her readers and has a readers' group in which many have become good friends. To catch up with Emily, or find out about the group, visit https://www.emilyharvale.com or connect with her on social media: https://www.facebook.com/emilyharvalewriter

    I’m becoming very fond of the women who are the focus of the Wyntersleap and Merriment Bay series by Emily Harvale. Going on to book three of Merriment Bay as soon as I post this review. If you like romances with strong women who aren’t “cookie cutter” heroines, read Emily Harvale.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Cozy Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020
    A cozy Romance sprinkled with a compelling mystery. Emily Harvale Has once again captured my heart with her magical storytelling. Delightful characters, a lovely setting, and a captivating story. This is part of the Merriment Bay series which is interconnected with the Winter House series. The book could possibly beread as a standalone, but I strongly encourage you to read the previous books in both series. This book continues the story of the Devin women. Three generations of strong women: Cat, Kyra, and Mary. The story also reveals a mystery hiding in the floors of Devon Manor. I know I’m being a bit vague but I don’t want to spoil this book or any of the previous books for anybody. Just know this is a charming story filled with whimsy, romance, Mystery, friendship, new beginnings, difficult choices, and above all family.

    Once again I found myself completely swept up into the lives of these fabulous characters. It was nice to see Cat so happy. It was also nice to see Mary start to heal. And Kyra? Oh to be 18 again... completely understood why Cat was trying to steer her in a specific direction. But I do think Kyra is a smart girl and will ultimately make a wise choice. This book had a little more mystery to it then most of the others in the series and I thought that was clever and fun. Excited to see what Emily has up her sleeve for the next books in this delightful series.

    *** Big thank you to Emily Harvale for my gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own. ***

    5.0 out of 5 stars A highly enjoyable read.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020
    It was great to be back in Merriment Bay and catch up with all the characters again.

    This is a story that is driven by strong female characters. The Devon women are all to be admired and I love that we get to see aspects of all three of their lives.

    Cat and Amias’ relationship is going from strength to strength and their happiness is infectious. Kyra on the other hand is having a few issues in her own love life. It reminded me of what is was like to be eighteen again although she definitely has her head screwed on more than mine was at her age.

    I enjoyed how the author incorporates the three women’s lives alongside the painting which adds some mystery and intrigue to the story. It was good to get a bit of history to Devon Villa and the author portrays the houses and area so well, making it vivid in my head.

    Chasing Moonbeams in Merriment Bay is a great follow on from the previous book in the series. I do think it would be best to read in order to get the full back ground of the characters and to gain the best enjoyment in this one. It’s like my favourite soap, being transported into the lives of the characters and eager for the next instalment to see what will happen next. A highly enjoyable read that oozes romance, relationships and more.

    My thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for a readers copy of this book and inviting me to be part of the blog tour. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

    It's only fairly recently that I discovered how flipping fantastic Emily's books are. I haven't managed to catch up with all of her past releases but after reading each new book that she releases, I try to read as much of her previous works as I can. I read the synopsis for 'Chasing Moonbeams In Merriment Bay' and it certainly sounded like another fantastic read and a chance to catch up with characters from the previous book set in Merriment Bay. 'Chasing Moonbeams In Merriment Bay' was another amazing read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every single second of the story but more about that in a bit.
    It didn't take me long at all to get into this story. In fact by the time I got to the end of the first sentence, I felt as though I had been reunited with old friends. To say that reading 'Chasing Moonbeams In Merriment Bay' became an addiction seems like the understatement of the century. I fell under this book's spell the moment I clapped eyes on the cover and the title, never mind from when I began to read the story itself. This book developed a hold over me and it was a hold that I wasn't willing to break. I binge read this book over the course of a couple of hours. I was so immersed in the story that I lost all track of time and I lost track of how quickly I was reading the book. All too quickly I reached the end of the story, which I was disappointed about, as it meant that I had to say a goodbye to the residents of Merriment Bay.
    'Chasing Moonbeams In Merriment Bay' is superbly written but then I think that all of Emily's books are superbly written. She creates adorable characters, that seem more like friends by the time you get so far through the story. Merriment Bay sounds like the sort of place I would love to live- by the seaside, friendly people and idyllic sounding houses and shops. Emily uses such vivid and realistic descriptions that I felt as though I was part of the story myself.
    In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Chasing Moonbeams In Merriment Bay' and I would recommend this book to other readers. Emily's books are addictive, charming reads that will grip you, give you a warm feeling inside and have you almost cheering on certain characters. That's how I felt at any rate. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

    One of the things I love about this serial is that it features characters of all ages not just 20 somethings, this serial has teens through to seniors hence it will appeal to all.
    This book picks up at the start of the year with Cat dividing her time between her mums house and her partner Amias house until her mother has an accident and trips on a floorboard revealing a cellar full of secrets.
    Emily’s books draw you in and capture your heart, lifting you out of your daily routine and catapulting you in to the book making you believe that you are a character and part of the story.
    I recommend this book especially at the moment with all the pandemic going on in the world, this little bit of escapism will do you the world of good.

    I am loving the Merriment Bay series and picked this up looking for a bit of escapism and that's exactly what I got. I love how the book picked straight up from the end of the last one during this visit to Cat & Kyra. The Merriment Bay and Wyntersleap series are brimming with fantastic characters that are now starting to cross over more in the storylines.

    Emily Harvale has quickly become a goto author for a guaranteed read that will make you smile and lift your spirit. I read this instalment in one sitting as I wanted to know where the story would go next as Cat grows closer to Amias and more secrets that entwine both families are discovered.

    I loved this book and can not wait to read the next one as I want to know what will come next for the Wells, Wynter and Devon families!
