Book Review - Ottercombe Bay-Where there's a Will- 8/4/18
Book Review
Bella's stories are about friendship, love and coping with what life throws at you. She likes to find the humour in the darker moments of life and weaves these into her stories. Bella believes that writing your own story really is the best fun ever, closely followed by talking, eating chocolate, drinking fizz and planning holidays.
She lives in The Midlands, UK with her lovely husband and wonderful daughter, who thankfully, both accept her as she is (with mad morning hair and a penchant for skipping).

Book Information
Escape to the Devon coast, with Part One of a brand-new four-part serial from the author of Willow Cottage.
Daisy Wickens has returned to Ottercombe Bay, the picturesque Devon town where her mother died when she was a girl. She plans to leave as soon as her great uncle’s funeral is over, but Great Uncle Reg had other ideas. He’s left Daisy a significant inheritance – an old building in a state of disrepair, which could offer exciting possibilities, but to get it she must stay in Ottercombe Bay for twelve whole months.
With the help of a cast of quirky locals, a few gin cocktails and a black pug with plenty of attitude, Daisy might just turn this into something special. But can she ever hope to be happy among the ghosts of her past?

My Review
5☆ A Wonderful Start to an Exciting New Series
Ottercombe Bay - Where there's a Will, is a short Story and the first part to a new series.
I adore Bella Osbourne's books so when I see this new series I couldn't wait to get started.
Where there's a Will is a charming read about family, secrets, mystery, friendships, new beginnings, inheritance, dealing with emotions, it's humorous, emotional and sets the scene for a fabulous new series.
When Daisy is pulled back to Ottercombe Bay for her Uncle Reg's Funeral she never expected to stay more than a day.
But her deceased Uncle had other ideas.
Daisy is battling with the demons she left behind when she walked out of Ottercombe Bay.
The thing that is causing Daisy so much pain and heartache is the reason Daisy can't settle anywhere. Constantly travelling around and changing jobs.
She certainly has lived an adventurous life.
When Daisy and her Aunt Coral attend Ray's Will Reading, Daisy has inherited something but there is a big clause.... She has to stay in the Bay for 1year or she forfeits her inheritance money.
Panic sets in Daisy cannot and will not stay in Ottercombe Bay any longer!
But will Daisy really leave or is Ottercombe Bay starting to get under her skin!!
Daisy's childhood friend Tamsyn is one of my favourite characters. She has a whimsical way about her, She has a huge heart, innocent but at times a little naive, and she is desperate to get Daisy to stay.
There is one character that stole my heart and stole the story and that is..... Bugsy the Pug... he is sooo funny, he is full of Sass (if you can imagine that of a dog hehe), he's mishevious, made me laugh out loud, he is loveable, loyal, has attitude, and is at war with Daisy...and he is winning!!
Who doesn't love a fiesty pup!
Oh and I forgot to mention Max!
Max went to school with Daisy. He also helped keep Ray company on many occassion.
Max is sexy, sarcastic, cheeky and loves to wind Daisy up. Secretly there is alot of chemistry between them and I'm hoping for a romance in the next book!
Fingers crossed!
Ok so that's enough about the story or I will be telling you everything! Can't have that!
Where there's a Will is the Perfect opening book. It built up the premise for the story to come, introduced us to a wonderful array or characters that I can tell will be memorable and I know I will fall in love with.
I already have I want to take Bugsy the Pug home!
It left me wanting more and excited for the next chapter part 2.... which I'm off to read!
If you love short reads that lead up to a series, chick lit, mystery, wonderful characters, then pick up Ottercombe Bay part 1 you won't regret it!
Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
