Snow Angels At Golden Sands Bay by Georgina Troy. Review


Book Description


Dig out your hard hat and gaze up at the snowflake-speckled sky over the Boardwalk.


Portia Fortescue has traded in the hustle and bustle of London to help renovate a magnificent French

manor house on the beautiful island of Jersey with her boyfriend Charlie Hargreaves.


But what they hoped would be a blissful escape to the chateau, turns out to be more of a DIY SOS.


As the winter snow sets in, the stress of restoring the derelict chateau back to life begins to take its

toll on their relationship.


Portia has known heartbreak before, but thought she’d found her happy-ever-after with Charlie…


Just when their dreams appear to crumble beneath them Portia and Charlie discover the warmth of

the Boardwalk community – the best friends anyone could ever ask for.


This new life could be everything they want it to be, if only they can finish the chateau in time for its

grand reopening!




BLOG TOUR REVIEW


Review for 'Snow Angels At Golden Sands Bay' by Georgina Troy.


Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Georgina Troy, Book And Tonic, Boldwood Books and Rachel's Random resources Tours.


Publication date 25th August 2023.


This is the first book I have read by this author but it most definitely won't be my last!! It is also the fifth book in the 'Golden Sands Bay' series.



This novel consists of 45 chapters. The chapters are short to medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!


This book is beautifully written and completely absorbs you in the stunning atmosphere of Jersey and really sucks you in with the vivid descriptions leaving you feel the snowdrops and smell of the sea. The synopsis and cover suits the storyline perfectly.


I absolutely loved this gorgeous book and cannot wait to get stuck in to the previous and future books in this series!!! Honestly if you are ever in need of a break and fancy the gorgeous Jersey then grab this stunner and prepare to be whisked away on a beautiful holiday!!! The storyline is authentic and realistic as well as easy to read and heartwarming. There was plenty of events going on throughout and it kept me hooked from start to end, I read it in one sitting while wrapped up warm inside with it rains outside at the same time Portia and Charlie were feeling the snow drift in Jersey. However, Georgina's fantastic writing skills felt like I was in Jersey instead of the rainy Wales I am actually sitting in. The storyline was filled with a range of emotions and was heartwarming, devastating and had love, relationships and friendships all going on in this beautiful atmosphere. It felt like a lovely break away from Wales!! I loved how the story ended and I would love to read more about the life in the gorgeous Island of Jersey. I was absolutely devastated when I came to the end of this book as I was truly whisked away to Jersey feeling the snow in my hair and looking at the stunning views. I absolutely loved the gorgeous atmosphere and the warm embrace of everyone in the community. The storyline was so heartwarming and it was such an easy and relaxing read with moments of laughter, some tension and sadness but overall happiness. It ended absolutely perfectly and I would love to see more of these amazing characters soon!! Hint, hint Georgina 😉!!!


An absolutely gorgeous book!! I cannot wait to go on my next adventure with the very talented Georgina. I absolutely adored being in Jersey but I also enjoyed learning and reading about Portia, Charlie and meeting new friends who I absolutely adored!!! An unforgettable holiday!!!


Although this is the fifth book in the series I had absolutely no problems reading it without the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.


It is always worrying when starting a new series as you have no idea who the characters are. It is very important for me to bond with not only the lead protagonists but also any characters that may make repeat appearances during the series too.


The characters were all unique with their own realistic traits, strengths and weaknesses. It was intriguing to watch friendships and relationships grow, develop and change throughout the the storyline. Georgina's amazing evocative writing skills brought all the characters and community to life as much as possible and they all leapt out of the pages as well as the stunning atmosphere!!! Anyway, I best not say anymore as don't want to give anything else away for future readers!! It's just so easy talking about this fantastic book and so much I want to tell you all about but i really need to control myself!!! Needless to say I absolutely adored each and every character each for a different reason. All characters worked perfectly with the storyline and I would love to meet them again and cannot wait to get stuck into the previous and next books in this series!!!


Well done Georgina on an absolutely gorgeous book!!! I will definitely be looking for your books any time I need to be swept off to another country!!! Welcome to my favourite authors list and here's to your next success 🥂!!


Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the first chapter of Georgina's ''Finding Love on Sunshine Island,' which promises to be just as addictive as this book and is one I'm definitely looking forward to reading myself!!


Overall an absolutely perfect light hearted, stunning unputdownable page turner that will sweep you off your feet and land you in Jersey.



338 pages.


This book is just £1.99 to purchase on kindle, free with kindle unlimited and £9.99 in paperback via Amazon or free on kindle unlimited which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!


Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
