About the book…
| Set against the sparkling shores of Cornwall☀️, this BRAND NEW heartwarming, uplifting and gorgeously romantic tale of second chances is perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Trisha Ashley and Cathy Bramley. ✨ When life gives you heartbreak 💔, sometimes it also gives you a second chance… 💕 When Tom Sullivan returns to the quiet village of Sandpiper Shore, Emma can hardly believe her eyes. She hasn’t seen him since they played Romeo and Juliet in their school play – a lifetime ago, before real heartbreak, and long before she ever imagined life as a widow. The last thing she wants is to relive the past, especially with someone who once made her teenage heart flutter. But when Emma agrees to put on a charity pantomime to raise money for the air ambulance service that helped her late husband, she’s thrown firmly back into Tom’s path. As rehearsals begin and the local community rallies around her, Emma finds unexpected joy in bringing people together – and a surprising connection with Tom that feels far too real to ignore. Maybe it’s time for Emma to become the leading lady in her own life, not just for the show, but for herself. Full of warmth, humour and heart, this is a story about letting go and discovering that it’s never too late to take a chance on love. While this novel is set in the same village as the other books in the Sandpiper Shore series, it can be read as a STANDALONE |

About the author…
One of her greatest writing achievements is to be nominated for the Kindle Storyteller Award in 2020, and she was delighted when Claudia Winkleman had read her book and said it was 'Totally warm and absolutely lovely.'
She lives in Staffordshire with her son Ollie and English Setter rescue dog Roni, is Author Community Director for publisher Bookouture (a division of Hachette UK) and, as an avid reader, started her career in the publishing industry as a book blogger.
When she's not working or writing, Kim can be found walking her dog at Cannock Chase, reading and binge-watching TV. She's also quite partial to a spa day, lemon drizzle cake and a gin and tonic (not all at the same time!)
Kim also runs a book club in Staffordshire and organises local and national reader/author events.

My thoughts…
This book centres around Emma, she is recently widowed and has tucked herself away in her little cottage by the sea and is trying to slowly rebuild her life. She has new friends Jo and Michelle and it’s on a night out with them that finds her unexpectedly facing her past in more ways than one. She’s somehow roped into directing the local pantomime, at the same time she unexpectedly crosses paths with her ex. An experience that seems more painful than the recent death of her partner.
The importance of female friendship and community spirit is never more powerful than in Life Begins at the Cornish Cottage. We see Jo and Michelle and a whole community - well all bar one cantankerous wee soul, stepping in to support and prop her up , wrap her in cotton wool and then deliver tough love, to drive her forward and discover what makes her tick. This truly is a heart warming, up beat novel that strives to show the power of friendship and community - its them that gets Emma through on her darkest days.
This was a positive feel good book that I’m glad I had the opportunity to read, in a busy world it was a perfect little bit of escapism.
There is a feeling that is common with each of Kim’s books, it’s that feeling of sadness as you reach the last few pages, not wanting the story to end, then wanting to go straight back to the beginning after you’ve turned the final page to re-live it all again.
There really is nothing worse than asking an author whose new book you’ve just read when I can get my hands on the next one but……….. Kim, come on - when can I get my hands on the next one!!!
