Another wonderful book by Deborah M。 Hathaway。 I loved the characters in this and the relationship they shared。 Fun banter and real life issues。 It’s always fun to read how characters overcome prejudices。 I also loved that they helped each other heal and grieved together。 Small bits of the story， but stuck out to me big time。 Also， Who doesn’t love a good real life mermaid story？

Another wonderful story in the Cornish Romance series。。。Trevik has lived-in Tristwick forever。 He is a fisherman and his father was a fisherman。 He feels responsible for taking care of the people of the small town and his mother and younger sister。 During one night's fishing trip， he pulls a young woman in caught in his fishing nets。 She is blue and not breathing and he things she may be dead。 When he gives her resuscitation and she takes a breath and realizes this man has his mouth on hers， she Another wonderful story in the Cornish Romance series。。。Trevik has lived-in Tristwick forever。 He is a fisherman and his father was a fisherman。 He feels responsible for taking care of the people of the small town and his mother and younger sister。 During one night's fishing trip， he pulls a young woman in caught in his fishing nets。 She is blue and not breathing and he things she may be dead。 When he gives her resuscitation and she takes a breath and realizes this man has his mouth on hers， she slaps him。 。 。 hard。Morvoren Hollow tried to escape her evil and abusive uncle's grasp and ends up in a fisherman's net fighting for her life。 Feeling badly because of causing her harm， he takes her home to recover。 Unfortunately， some of his crew believes her to be a mermaid and could bring them all trouble and harm。 As she spends more and more time with this family， she begins to feel a part of the family。 But， they could never be hers， right？ This is a rich and beautiful story with breathtaking and descriptive views of the Cornish shoreline。 The story weaves this beauty and the difficulty of life of the people who struggle to live day to day and the fragility of their circumstances。 I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review。 。。。more

Well， shoot。 This might be my very favorite of Deborah's books ever。 The setting， the characters， the slowly growing romance， the conflict， the ending。 I smiled， I cried， I reread my favorite passages。 The story of a fisherman who pulls a mermaid from the sea and all that follows is what my dreams were made of as a little girl。 And now I need to plan a trip to Cornwall， ASAP。 Thank you to the author for my advanced copy of this book。 All opinions here are my own。 Well， shoot。 This might be my very favorite of Deborah's books ever。 The setting， the characters， the slowly growing romance， the conflict， the ending。 I smiled， I cried， I reread my favorite passages。 The story of a fisherman who pulls a mermaid from the sea and all that follows is what my dreams were made of as a little girl。 And now I need to plan a trip to Cornwall， ASAP。 Thank you to the author for my advanced copy of this book。 All opinions here are my own。 。。。more

If you want a book filled with history about fishing villages in Cornwall （and 'lots more）， this is for you！ The detail is just crazy good--I can't even imagine the research involved。 The author's love of Cornwall shines throughout。 Quirky characteristics flow throughout the characters in a fun way。 You'll love this book！ If you want a book filled with history about fishing villages in Cornwall （and 'lots more）， this is for you！ The detail is just crazy good--I can't even imagine the research involved。 The author's love of Cornwall shines throughout。 Quirky characteristics flow throughout the characters in a fun way。 You'll love this book！ 。。。more

Ever since watching Poldark， I’ve loved Cornwall-based stories and this one did not disappoint。 Along with the fun love story， I really enjoyed learning more about the fishing industry during that time。 Plus， the singing around the bonfire on the beach really has me looking forward to summer 🤓

Deborah Hathaway has jumped right into being one of my favorite authors。 She has such rich descriptive detailing and wonderful stories。 You can tell she has done her research！ I love this series and the way it is all in Cornwall but we get to learn about a different aspect in each book—from high society to mining， fishing， and lighthouses。 Sweet romance with character growth and great side characters。

Deborah has done it again！ This book is simply *chef's kiss。 This is perhaps the most unique regency romance I have ever read。 The writing completely immersed me in the tiny sea hamlet of Tristwick and the story as Trevik， a fisherman， finds an unlikely catch in his nets。 Morvoren never thought to be mistaken for a mermaid but she has bigger concerns。。。such as escaping a future she cannot abide。Trevik and Morvoren's relationship grows slow but steady and their flirty banter was absolutely marvel Deborah has done it again！ This book is simply *chef's kiss。 This is perhaps the most unique regency romance I have ever read。 The writing completely immersed me in the tiny sea hamlet of Tristwick and the story as Trevik， a fisherman， finds an unlikely catch in his nets。 Morvoren never thought to be mistaken for a mermaid but she has bigger concerns。。。such as escaping a future she cannot abide。Trevik and Morvoren's relationship grows slow but steady and their flirty banter was absolutely marvelous。 Who knew Cornish fishermen could be so clueless and yet so romantic at the same time？ The recreation of a famous scene from Poldark had me simultaneously laughing out loud and swooning。 It is hard to capture in words just how fantastic this book is。 You are just going to have to trust me on this one。 Read it。 Enjoy it。 Swoon over it。 And then go binge read the rest of the series because they are all utterly fantastic！ I received a complimentary copy but a positive review was not required。 。。。more

I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book， and I'm so glad I did。 It was such a good one！！ I loved how unique the story was， especially with Morvoren being mistaken for a mermaid。 That was a nice touch to the story。I also loved how this story had a well-rounded cast of characters - Poppy， the enthusiastic and talkative sister; Mrs。 Honeysett， the supportive， loving mother; Gryffyn， the loyal friend; Edern， the superstitious old man wreaking havoc on the town; Mr。 Truscott， who just ne I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book， and I'm so glad I did。 It was such a good one！！ I loved how unique the story was， especially with Morvoren being mistaken for a mermaid。 That was a nice touch to the story。I also loved how this story had a well-rounded cast of characters - Poppy， the enthusiastic and talkative sister; Mrs。 Honeysett， the supportive， loving mother; Gryffyn， the loyal friend; Edern， the superstitious old man wreaking havoc on the town; Mr。 Truscott， who just needs to go jump in a lake; Trevik， the most handsome， hard working fisherman in all the land; and Morvoren， the not mermaid， who is just doing her best to survive and make a better life for herself。Also， the romance in this story？ Spot on， y'all。 Trevik and Morvoren were just so perfect for each other。 There were several times I wished I could jump into the book， walk straight up to them， and knock some sense into them to help them realize they just needed to stop waiting for the grass to grow and be together already。 Because let's face it， all their flirting was the very best。So long story short here - go get you this book and read it quick！ I promise you won't regret it。Thank you to the author for the ARC; all opinions are my own。 。。。more

What a phenomenal story and the author's attention to historical details makes it evident that hours of research went into the writing of it。 Everyone of the books in this series have given us a peak into the lifestyles and jobs in the early 1800's in Cornwall。 We have seen light house keepers and the difficult life of copper miners and now we get a look at those who made their living fishing。 After reading this latest story I have a pretty good understanding of the difficult life of the fisherm What a phenomenal story and the author's attention to historical details makes it evident that hours of research went into the writing of it。 Everyone of the books in this series have given us a peak into the lifestyles and jobs in the early 1800's in Cornwall。 We have seen light house keepers and the difficult life of copper miners and now we get a look at those who made their living fishing。 After reading this latest story I have a pretty good understanding of the difficult life of the fisherman and his family as they all worked together to not only bring in the fish but to process them using every part to provide for them through the winter。 There is so much attention to detail of the history， the Cornish language and I loved that she even chose some names that had special meaning like Morvoren which means sea maiden or mermaid。Trevik Honeysett now runs his father's fishing lugger after his unfortunate death years before。 He takes his responsibility seriously knowing that he is proving not only for his family but for all of the families in his village。 The work is hard and the sleep is scarce as they labor all night to bring in the fish。 This story starts out as they are just finishing up hauling the nets in all night。 Trevik decides to cast them out one more time closer to shore。 But as they bring in the net， they realize instead of fish， they have caught a young woman who is injured。 Feeling responsible Trevik brings her to his home where his mother cares for her。 The only problem is that some of his crew are very superstitious and they believe they have caught a mermaid who will curse them all。 As the young woman says she doesn't remember where she came from， Trevik will have a difficult time keeping promises to his crew that she will be leaving Tristwick while fighting his attraction to her。Morvoren Hollow knows all about the life of fishing- and she wants nothing to do with it or to be married to a fisherman。 She is on the run from her greedy uncle who has arranged a marriage for her so he could merge with another powerful and wealthy fishing family。 As she stops in Tristwick on her journey to a friend in another town， her love for swimming in the sea， has her caught in a net leaving her with an injured foot。 Having no way to get the next coach to her friend's village， she is forced to stay in Tristwick。 She pretends to not remember where she has come from to protect herself from revealing information that may have her uncle find her。 She knows that Trevik doesn't believe her story but she is dependent on him and his family until she heals enough to leave。 Even though she has no desire to marry a fisherman， she cannot help being drawn to Trevik as she sees the care and concern he has for the people around him。Such a wonderful story and I cannot wait to see what happens to Poppy Honeysett and her Lieutenant Edmund Harris。I received a copy of this book from the author and this is my honest unbiased review。 。。。more

If you know anything about this author， then you know she has a deep love for the sea， especially in Cornwall。 That love truly shines through in her writing in this story。 It was such a beautiful connection between the characters and the sea that I felt like I was there standing on the beach or the cliffside， or on the boat。 I felt the wind and could smell the salt in the air as well as picturing the beauty of the water and horizon。 That is a mark of a great book for me， when I feel as if I am t If you know anything about this author， then you know she has a deep love for the sea， especially in Cornwall。 That love truly shines through in her writing in this story。 It was such a beautiful connection between the characters and the sea that I felt like I was there standing on the beach or the cliffside， or on the boat。 I felt the wind and could smell the salt in the air as well as picturing the beauty of the water and horizon。 That is a mark of a great book for me， when I feel as if I am there with the characters。I loved the mermaid aspects as well。 Of course， we know she's not a mermaid but the folklore and old wives' tales definitely played into the fear of some of the characters。 And I can't help but laugh at Morvoren's own little moments of playing into the speculation of her being a mermaid pulled from the sea。 Hahaha！！！ The mermaid aspects were fun to read but also learning more about the fishing trade kept me very intrigued while reading this book。 So very interesting！！！Morvoren and Trevik have a rock start to their relationship。 But even with that rocky start， I still enjoyed the tension that was written into their interactions。 Then as they call somewhat of a truce， their relationship starts to develop further。 Their banter back and forth throughout the book had me giggling and smiling。 I loved how it showed their personalities and their desire are characters to protect family （that's a little vague but no spoilers from me）！The Honeysett family quickly made their way into my heart。 And I'm looking forward to reading Poppy Honeysett's story next in this series。 She's such a fun character。 I love her goodness and friendliness and can't wait to learn more about her when I read her story。 She definitely takes after her brother Trevik in those traits。 If you're looking for sweet and clean romance， that aspect of Trevik and Morvoren's relationship is delightful。 They have sparks flying between them due to their banter， but also due to the growing attraction and chemistry between them。 There are so many scenes between them that I just adored so much！ On the boat， in the cellars， on the beach， at the swimming hole， on the rocks， in the wagon cart， at dinner （especially one dinner-hahahahaha！！！） and so many more！ And the ending。。。oh my heart！ You're in for a real treat！ If you haven't already caught on from my review， I highly recommend reading this one。 I wished I could have picked it up and devoured it right away but my schedule was such that I only was able to read a page here and there but it was delightful and kept pulling me back in until I was able to read their story to the end。 Content: Clean。 Some mild moments of peril。 A couple sweet kisses and nothing further。 I received a copy from the author。 All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own。Happy Reading！！！ 。。。more

This was the first book by Deborah M。 Hathaway that I had the opportunity to read， but let me tell you I will definitely be reading more of her books！ This story was beautiful！ I loved learning more about fishing during this era along with learning a little bit about Cornwall。 Morvoran and Trevik are delightful！ And being able to read from both their perspectives was extra great！ This story was just so delightful！ If you like romance， mermaids， and secrets this story may be for you！

“She blew out a breath。 What was the world coming to， now that she， Morvoren Hollow， admired a fisherman？” I absolutely loved this fourth book in Deborah M。 Hathaway’s Cornish Romance series。 Morvoren， the sassy spirited heroine and Trevik， the handsome flirtatious fisherman completely drew me into the story。 I loved the witty dialogue， enemies to lovers slow-burn romance， and the twists and turns in this original story。The last thing Morvoren wants is life with a fisherman。 Running away from a “She blew out a breath。 What was the world coming to， now that she， Morvoren Hollow， admired a fisherman？” I absolutely loved this fourth book in Deborah M。 Hathaway’s Cornish Romance series。 Morvoren， the sassy spirited heroine and Trevik， the handsome flirtatious fisherman completely drew me into the story。 I loved the witty dialogue， enemies to lovers slow-burn romance， and the twists and turns in this original story。The last thing Morvoren wants is life with a fisherman。 Running away from a cruel uncle and untenable marriage proposal， she decides to indulge in something her uncle has forbidden， a swim in the ocean。 She has no idea her indulgence will land her in a fisherman’s net。 When Trevik and his fellow drifters pull in their net， the last thing they expect is a “mermaid” known to bring havoc and destruction。 So when Morvoren is found caught in Trevik’s net， rumors quickly fly and to one superstitious older man， Edern， she’s a menace that needs to go。 Trevik may have saved Morvoren’s life， but there’s hardly gratitude expressed。 In fact， her sharp tongue at once intrigues but also infuriates him。 With nowhere else to go and an injured ankle， Morvoren must find a way to endure until she can travel to her friend’s house。 What she doesn’t expect is to find friendship， romance， and feeling part of a family again。I loved the characters， not only Trevik and Morvoren， but his mother and sister Poppy too。 Also enjoyed Trevik’s fellow fishermen， even the irascible Edern， and fell in love with this endearing fishing village where they all look out for each other and work together to survive。 There were so many swoonworthy scenes。 I especially loved it when Morvoren accuses Trevik of not knowing how to flirt and boy does he show her he does。 The romantic tension between the two is palpable and I loved the humorous good natured teasing moments between the two。 The Cornish setting is amazing and Ms。 Hathaway really makes it come alive with her beautiful descriptions。 I felt like I could hear the waves crashing on the shore and smell the salty sea air。 I enjoyed the historical aspects of the novel and the careful detail the author includes in the story。 Highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the other books in the series。 This book can definitely be read as a standalone， though may be more enjoyable for those familiar with previous characters who show up in the book。 I can’t wait to read Poppy’s story and look forward to the next book in the series。 Thank you to Deborah M。 Hathaway for the advanced copy。 All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review。 4 1/2 stars rounded up to 5。 。。。more

I swear Deborah never fails！ I always look forward to her books！ Even though our hero and heroin meet each other from the beginning I found the chemistry to be a slow start。 Some people might not like that but I found that I did。 I think it really gave me as the reader a chance to understand these characters better。 And in turn I found the romance to be stronger because you could actually feel the attraction and why。 So I say bravo 👏🏻！ Delightful read！

Beautiful novel that took me to Cornwall and all things fishing！ I felt as if I was on the shore feeling the salty sea air on my face and the cold wet sand in my toes。 I really enjoyed Trevik and Morvoren's story！ I especially loved all the research that went into this， it gave depth with the details of that unique life in the early 1800s！Thanks for the opportunity to read an ARC Deborah！ Beautiful novel that took me to Cornwall and all things fishing！ I felt as if I was on the shore feeling the salty sea air on my face and the cold wet sand in my toes。 I really enjoyed Trevik and Morvoren's story！ I especially loved all the research that went into this， it gave depth with the details of that unique life in the early 1800s！Thanks for the opportunity to read an ARC Deborah！ 。。。more

Five stars， re-readable…what more do I need to say。 These last two books in this series have swept me away to Cornwall and I’m not sure I ever want to come back。 I loved the mermaid/sea-maid incorporation to this story and make sure you read the Author’s notes at the back of the book。 Fascinating！！ I was so immersed in this story that I didn’t want it to end， then I needed to know how it ended， then it ended and I was sad it was over lol。 I will be re-reading this one over and over and over！ Abs Five stars， re-readable…what more do I need to say。 These last two books in this series have swept me away to Cornwall and I’m not sure I ever want to come back。 I loved the mermaid/sea-maid incorporation to this story and make sure you read the Author’s notes at the back of the book。 Fascinating！！ I was so immersed in this story that I didn’t want it to end， then I needed to know how it ended， then it ended and I was sad it was over lol。 I will be re-reading this one over and over and over！ Absolute perfection！Thanks to the author for the copy。 All thoughts in this review are my own。 。。。more
