Reviewed by: JoAnneBook provided by: publisherReview originally posted at Romancing the BookThere were only a few characters in the book but others were alluded to. Posy was a bubbly personality who always saw the bright side of things. Noah, a farmer, had a more pessimistic view of life especially after his broken engagement to a city girl. His sister, Emma, also had a large role in the story.The story took place in Cornwall, England where Noah's farm and his family's campground was located. He and Posy hit it off immediately and while Posy wanted to move full steam ahead, Noah kept pulling back. The book was only 69 pages but a lot was packed into it. The descriptions of the sea, the shore, the town and the campground made me feel that I was there.There was an abrupt ending so much so that I didn't realize it was the end of the book until the next page on my Nook was an about the author page. There was a happily ever ending, at least for the short term, but there was a possibility for so much more. I would have loved better closure by either extending the book a few chapters or adding an epilogue.I have not read books by Dixon before but look forward to reading others. There was an excerpt for Making Waves that was set in New Bay, a town that was visited several times in Easter Holiday along with some of the same locations and people. It whet my appetite to read more.
