Victoria Walker has done it again! written a truly heartwarming book that caught me from the very first chapter and kept me sucked in until the end...where I was blubbering like my mother at a royal wedding.
When Maggie arrived in Bramble Bay it was a fresh start for her, after being deceived by her ex Ben and wanting to work in an environment that she would love and away from people that will cause her pain. Until her volunteers arrive for the summer to help care for the island, it's just her and Charlie, the forester from America in the park office at the moment, but it doesn't stop Maggie from being inspired by her surroundings, even if her first meeting with Charlie was a bit abrupt.
But as the season begins on Bramble Bay things change and not all just in nature, relationships bloom, including the relationship between Maggie and Charlie, that is until people from their past come back and seem to disrupt the flow, but when things explode and Maggie is tired of being left behind or disrespected, will Charlie fight for their relationship or is it all over.
I'm telling you, this author truly has the talent of twisting your stomach into knots all in a few chapters, and when you are done, you are an emotionally wrecked but contented person for it.
I give The Island in Bramble Bay 5 stars.
