Review: Mermaid Inn

Thank you Forever Romance for my gifted copy of Mermaid Inn! Out now!

I’m still struggling to write a cohesive review (#thankscovid), but I need it to be known that I freaking LOVED Mermaid Inn! I’m a polygamist book reader and mood reader by nature, I never know what I’m going to feel like reading each day. I just know that I’ll have 3-7 books on hand at all times. Over the weekend I was trying to read a little bit in all my current books, but I kept coming back to this one 😍

The town of Moonflower Bay captured me from the very first chapter (although I was very confused as to why the series was called Matchmaker Bay 😂 don’t worry, it gets explained and it is delightful!) I love Jenny Holiday, she is one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. The way she mixes heavier topics, steamy scenes, and comedic moments? *swoon* 🥰 Mermaid Inn is just as wonderful as all her previous books I’ve read. 

I absolutely loved Eve and Sawyer’s story. I’m a sucker for second chance romance and I thought this one was so well done. Eve is forced to go back to Moonflower Bay after her beloved aunt dies and leaves her the Mermaid Inn. After avoiding the town for the last decade, the last thing she wants to do is stay especially since her former love is now the police chief. Yet her aunt had other plans and requires she own the Mermaid Inn for one year before selling it. 

There are so many great hilarious moments in this book, and an equal amount of completely swoon worthy moments. The chemistry between Eve and Sawyer was so, so great. The last chapter of the book had me almost in tears and then grinning like an idiot. *sigh* I just loved this one a lot! Mermaid Inn was a five star read for me! I CANNOT WAIT to spend more time in Matchmaker Bay when Paradise Cove comes out in July! Highly recommend! 💜 Kellisa
