Summary
You will adore this heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from best-selling author Christie Barlow!
Welcome to the Little Rock marina - where hearts are healed and dreams are made....
For the last two years Nell Andrews has been struggling to stay afloat. As her life tumbled down around her, the only safety net has been her cosy canal boat, The Nollie. Tucked away inside, Nell has found a place to heal her broken heart. And now she’s ready to move on and follow her dream....
Gorgeous Guy Cornish, with his easy Irish charm, makes him an instant hit with everyone at the marina and the perfect person to help Nell with her project. But Guy has his own reasons for being at the marina and a past that threatens to sink Nell’s dream....

Nice story spoiled by silly narration
Pity …. Narration was just terrible! Sugary sweet, silly characterisation. Was guy Irish, Scottish, Welsh or Indian? Not quite sure.

A great canal boat story
I like !listening to Christie Barlow and this was a lovely listen. Completely different to her other books. A complex story about 'Nell ' and her life on a canal boat. Well worth listening too. The twist is not what I thought!
I am used to Penny Andrews narrating. This was a free listen in the 'Plus Catalogue' so it really is worth a listen👍

Lovely little canal themed storyline
I have been getting into canal based stories recently and this one was beautiful. Such a lovely story of life on the water but marina based 😊

intriguing In parts
Easy listening, story a bit fairytailish but spoilt throughout by the narration, her voice was sickly sweet and syrupy with a childish lisppy whine.

Lovely story really hard to listen to narration
Good storyline with likeable characters and nicely unfolding plot. I like the idea of the boat being the central focus and the descriptions and detail are great. Unfortunate the narration was so grating at times and so sickly I nearly stopped listening. The accents were rather cringy. I too found myself repeating the way things were being said in the childish voice (which made me laugh at myself out loud!) so it also acted as a type of laughing therapy session each time I listened. A good listen tho and if you can get past the narration then you’ll enjoy the book.

Great story
Really liked this book. fun and you'll love the characters. Penny Andrews is a great narrator. it flows along quite nicely until a plot twist near the end out of nowhere which is all taken in everyone's stride which is odd. and there's no way anyone would be so forgiving of a certain male character's behaviour! but overall it's really good

Fab story. Terrible accents
Loved the way lot of the book and the characters. Such a shame the narrator couldn’t do an Irish accent. It made me cringe every time Guy spoke.
