Sunny Days and Sea Breezes: The PERFECT feel-good, escapist read from the Sunday Times bestseller
The top 10 Sunday Times best seller.
Winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year award.
When does time out become the time of your life?
Jodie Jackson is all at sea, in every sense.
On a ferry bound for the Isle of Wight, she’s leaving her London life, her career and her husband behind. She’d like a chance to turn back the clocks, but she’ll settle for some peace and quiet on her brother Bill’s beautifully renovated houseboat, Sunny Days.
But from the moment Jodie steps aboard her new home, it’s clear she’ll struggle to keep herself to herself. If it isn’t Marilyn, who cleans for Bill and is under strict instructions to look after Jodie, then it’s Ned, the noisy sculptor on the next-door houseboat. Ned’s wood carving is hard on the ears, but it’s made up for by the fact that he’s rather easy on the eyes.
Bustled out of the boat by Marilyn and encouraged to explore with Ned, Jodie soon delights in her newfound freedom. But out of mind isn’t out of sight, and when her old life comes knocking, Jodie is forced to face reality. Will she answer the call or choose a life filled with sunny days and sea breezes?
An absolute must-listen from the queen of fun-filled and life-affirming fiction, Sunny Days and Sea Breezes will make your heart sing.

Carole Matthews and Beautiful Sandcastles
This author always gives readers a beautifully written story. The plot here, as in her other books, is solid, real and compelling. The characters are believable no matter their situation. They are troubled or laidback, quirky and funny, easy to love or easy to hate, depending on the story line. Jodie, Ned, Marilyn, George and Ida are richly drawn characters. I was desperate to find out how this love story ended, but wanted to keep reading for more pages. Strongly recommended.

such a heart warming story!
I’m new to Carole Matthews books, but I love the underlying theme in that money doesn’t always make us happy or content! I’ll be searching for another story from Carole right away!

A favorite author
The Isle of Wight sounds like a magical place, especially if you are a Midwest Ohio woman! And the island is a character in the story, built around jodie’s loss, and in her healing process.

Carole Matthews is a brilliant author…
…so I find it impossible to believe she wrote this book. It wasn’t her style. It wasn’t her voice. It wasn’t her vocabulary. It wasn’t even her music. Worst of all, was predictable and often tedious. Carole Matthews’ books are neither of these things. Read everything else she’s written. Everything else, but this.

I have never read any books by Carole Mathews before but ordered three books after reading the reviews. When the three books arrived they had sent me one which I didn’t order ‘Sunny Days & Sea Breezes instead of ‘You Drive Me Crazy’ but I couldn’t be bothered to return it.The first one I read was ‘A Compromising Position’ and unfortunately I couldn’t get past the first two chapters it was so boring and unfunny so wrote a very unfavourable review. Consequently wondered if the other two books would be disappointing too. However I am half way through reading ‘Sunny Days & Sea Breezes’ and was delighted to find it was written in a totally different way, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I thought it only fair to write a complimentary review as it is deserved.Hello again – I have just finished Sunny Days & Sea Breezes and had to let everyone know it is one of the most enjoyable reads I’ve ever read. It made me emotional at times and wish I could have a relationship like Jodie and Ned – from beginning to end it is such a lovely, ‘can’t wait to read the next chapter’ book. Thank you Carole now I have one more of yours to read and hope it’s just as enjoyable.

I enjoyed the story and the characters and locations as I’ve visited the IOW and it really is magic, I want to be there now tbh with the sea breezes blowing through my hair. A good book for a holiday read.
