Welcome to Coco Bay Kindle Edition

by Kirsty McManus (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 691 ratings
Tourism director Emily is reluctantly back in Australia after five years in Canada. Having left her previous job under less than ideal circumstances, she finds it almost impossible to secure new employment without a professional reference.



Luckily, after discovering an ad placed in the wrong category online, she fudges her way into a night manager role at Coco Bay Island Resort at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef.



However, on arriving at the island, she discovers the resort is still recovering from a cyclone two years prior, and no one competent seems to be in charge.



It’s not all bad, though, with cute ferry driver Noah willing to show her around, and receptionist Sasha adopting her as a new bestie.



But between Noah’s girlfriend sensing a threat, and the resort’s manager acting increasingly erratic, it might not be long before Emily’s world falls apart again.



Emily originally left Australia to get away from an unacceptable situation, and found herself in another in Canada. Will Coco Bay be the long-term home Emily has been searching for? Or will her past finally catch up with her?

    Emily and Noah are both such good, kind, honest, hard-working and loyal personalities that it was incredibly easy for me to become invested in their happiness. I really enjoyed the details and descriptions of the island, resort, and all the characters. The storylines also kept me engaged and entertained, and I am looking forward to reading more in the series!

    Cute, predictable little love story that could have used a lot more details and world building. Australia is a magical place, but I didn’t get a strong vision of the landscape or even the characters. Some of the dialogue was really cheesy but it’s a nice, quick HEA read!

    I enjoyed the island, could have described more of the beautiful features that the Island had. Emily sounded amazing in so many ways, would have liked to hear more about her plans for Coco Bay. The ending was unexpected, I dislike books that just end with no. Closure to the story! It’s like they were tired of writing this book so they, just end it or continue it into another book that you need to purchase to get answers.

    I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to the next. Gotta know how the story unfolds, Emily and Noah, Sasha and Dash maybe and who the mysterious investor is. Australia had its own kind of magic for non-Australians, especially the reefs. So it was great to get a little glimpse of it.

    An interesting story of a gal looking for a new life on an Island. Some parts of the story were really good but the romance with the obligatory sex on the beach wasn't needed for me. Some parts of the story glossed over like it was edited out and it was missing. Not sure I will read the second book.

    Amity gets fired (unfairly)from her tourism job in Vancouver and returns to Australia. Applies for a job at Coc Bay which is in recovery after a cyclone destroyed it. A weird boss and a weirder owner plus a scorned love all come together to create a plea sent love story.

    When Emily is hired to work at a resort called Coco Bay, the place that greets her is not quite what she expected. After her previous terrible work situation (detailed in Before Coco Bay, the prequel), Emily is determined to make a go of it. What follows is intrigue, friendship and romance in equal measure.
    I love this author's books and this one is no exception! A great start to a series featuring interesting and relatable characters in a gorgeous location.

    A totally enjoyable read, who wouldn't want a Noah? He's stolen my heart and Emily suits him well. Kirsty kept me turning the pages once again and I'll be hanging out for the next instalment. It's nice for a change to read Aussie stories.
