Summary
When moving out isn't enough to move on。。。
Interior designer Faith Hudson knows better than anyone the value of a home。 Growing up as an unwanted kid in foster care， she hangs onto every last treasure， always searching for the place where she belongs。 Out of the blue， Gabe York， the musician ex-boyfriend who broke her heart， calls to say he wants a second chance。。。 and asks her to renovate the Cornish beach house they used to share together。 It's bittersweet for Faith， but she's nothing if not hopeful。。。
But it's not long before Gabe is up to his old tricks and Faith's optimism is tested to its limit。 It's a good thing the renovation – and sexy kitchen-guy Henry – are keeping her busy。。。 because one thing is becoming clear， turning a house into a home is less about the colour you paint the walls and more about the arms that hold you while you watch it dry。。。

Starting Over at the Little Cornish Beach House by Nancy Barone is a love story with some dark overtones。 Faith lives in the most beautiful beach house ever with the man she loves， rock star， Gabe。 It had been the house her family had vacationed in before her father left， she realized。 It had been redone and then Faith， an interior designer， decorated it。 It was perfect。 Just what they both wanted。 They'd had a fabulous and sexy night and the next morning Gabe dropped a bombshell: he had found s Starting Over at the Little Cornish Beach House by Nancy Barone is a love story with some dark overtones。 Faith lives in the most beautiful beach house ever with the man she loves， rock star， Gabe。 It had been the house her family had vacationed in before her father left， she realized。 It had been redone and then Faith， an interior designer， decorated it。 It was perfect。 Just what they both wanted。 They'd had a fabulous and sexy night and the next morning Gabe dropped a bombshell: he had found someone else。 She immediately moved out into a small apartment near her sister。 A few months later Gabe called。 He was done with his new love。 Could she go back and make the beach house look like it had before， and would she come back？ Could she love him again？ It was everything she wanted to hear。 She took her crew to the beach house where they saw the biggest tragedy they had ever seen。 There was animal fur carpet on the kitchen floor， for crying gout loud， and much of the rest of the house was RED。 It was horrible。 As for wanting him back， of course she did。 Poor Faith。 She had trouble making up her mind。 She loved with her whole heart and didn't see bad in someone she loved。 She ended up paying for that。 So much happened in this book that I can't begin to replay it。 You will have to read it for yourself。 There were so many lies and so many misunderstandings that it is mindboggling。 Faith is just as her name implies。 She has a twin who has two young kids who she loves with all her heart and spends plenty of time with。 Her joiner has a young son， too， who he brings to work sometimes and she falls in love with him and with his father。 Gabe， of course， lets her down when the girl friend turns up pregnant and he decides to do the "right" thing。 It is a roller coaster ride， to be sure， but such fun， most of the time。 Good read。 I was invited to read a free e-ARC of Starting Over at the Little Cornish Beach House by Head of Zeus， through Netgalley。 All thoughts and opinions are mine。 #netgalley #headofzeus #nancybarone #startingoveratthelittlecornishbeachhouse 。。。more

Cute， fast read。 This story continues Faith and Gabe's storyline。 In the last book， they broke up and Gabe started living with Faith's university nemesis。 Faith has spent the last 6 months trying to get over Gabe， but then he calls her out of the blue and asks her to come back to the beach house and restore it to the way it was when they were together， and he assumes that also means they are back together。Faith gives a half-hearted attempt at trying to remain friends with Gabe， but within hours Cute， fast read。 This story continues Faith and Gabe's storyline。 In the last book， they broke up and Gabe started living with Faith's university nemesis。 Faith has spent the last 6 months trying to get over Gabe， but then he calls her out of the blue and asks her to come back to the beach house and restore it to the way it was when they were together， and he assumes that also means they are back together。Faith gives a half-hearted attempt at trying to remain friends with Gabe， but within hours of him showing up at the beach house they've fallen back into bed and she is dreaming of designing a nursery。 Sigh。 I don't have a lot of patience for the weak heroine trope so this grated on me。 The rest of the book didn't hold a lot of my interest。Thanks to the author， publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book， but my opinions are my own。 。。。more

I was lucky enough to receive this arc from Net Galley。 Unfortunately it was well and truly not my cup of tea。 I found the main character to be annoying and mildly pathetic， there was a GIANT miscommunication trope， and the plot was non existent。 I’m sure this book is for someone but it isn’t for me。

Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review。 What a truly lovely book。 Faith is a twin to her sister Hope。 They have been together like ports in a storm all their lives。 They are soulmates and sisters。 Faith has been with her popstar boyfriend Gabe for three years and is desperate to start a family。 He’s reticence。 Will they survive or will she get stronger。This is a great book and I really enjoyed it。

This cute and quick read by Nancy Barone takes place in Cornwall with interior designer Faith， her cheating ex and a potential new beau。 I loved Henry and Faith's relationship， especially as Henry was always there for her and somehow knew what she needed。 Not too big of a fan of all the miscommunication that took place， and didn't really love how Faith handled the news she got about Henry。 Otherwise， I loved the characters and the overall plot of the story。Thank you the NetGalley and Head of Zeu This cute and quick read by Nancy Barone takes place in Cornwall with interior designer Faith， her cheating ex and a potential new beau。 I loved Henry and Faith's relationship， especially as Henry was always there for her and somehow knew what she needed。 Not too big of a fan of all the miscommunication that took place， and didn't really love how Faith handled the news she got about Henry。 Otherwise， I loved the characters and the overall plot of the story。Thank you the NetGalley and Head of Zeus publishing for this arc！！ 。。。more

Predictable but good quick read。 The main character grated some， but overall I enjoyed the story about having faith in yourself and moving on。

"Even if memories are flooding through me like the sea at high tide， I can only go with the flow， and accept that what is done is done。 Put it all in the past and look forward instead。"Quite a sweet read！ It felt a little predictable， but there were some curveballs in the plot that definitely surprised me。Thank you to the author， NetGalley， and Head of Zeus publishing for the ARC。 "Even if memories are flooding through me like the sea at high tide， I can only go with the flow， and accept that what is done is done。 Put it all in the past and look forward instead。"Quite a sweet read！ It felt a little predictable， but there were some curveballs in the plot that definitely surprised me。Thank you to the author， NetGalley， and Head of Zeus publishing for the ARC。 。。。more
