About this listen

Curl up with a comfy blanket and a great audiobook! Enjoy the first three books in the charming Marigold Island series by Fiona Baker.

Lydia Walker and Angela Collins both need a fresh start.

A year ago, Lydia became a widow at 38 when she lost her beloved husband to cancer, and despite the support of her friends and her teenage daughter, Holly, she’s had a hard time moving on from the loss. She feels stuck, uncertain of how to carry out her husband’s final wish that she do something that scares her.

Angela Collins has what seems like the perfect life - a beautiful little boy, a loving husband, and a good career. But that all comes crumbling down when she returns home early one afternoon and discovers that her husband is having an affair.

Struggling with grief and loss, both women head to Marigold Island, an idyllic small town with white-sand beaches and happy childhood memories.

A chance meeting between the two old friends sparks an idea that’s as exciting as it is terrifying. They decide to buy the historic Beachside Inn, renovate it, and reopen it.

Along the way, they’ll encounter a cranky landscaper who may have a soft side hidden beneath his gruff exterior, plumbing mishaps, old acquaintances, and unexpected competition from a big hotel.

Will Lydia and Angela get the second chance they’re hoping for? Or will their dreams of reopening the Beachside Inn be dashed before they even get off the ground?

Come dip your toes in the crystal-blue waters of Marigold Island, a fictional island town tucked in next to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. This heartwarming and uplifting women’s fiction will take you on a journey of healing, friendship, family, faith, and love.

If you enjoy books by Pamela Kelley, Kay Correll, Debbie Macomber, and Jan Moran, the Marigold Island series is for you!

Amazing Cozy Town Series

The Beachside Inn by Fiona Baker
Marigold Island #1
6h 1m narrated by Meg Price, 294 pages

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance

Featuring: Massachusetts, Island Life, Widowers, Marital Issues, March, Innkeeper, Overcoming Obstacles, Family

Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult situations

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏖

My thoughts: I needed an audiobook to get through holiday cooking and this one did not disappoint. It is just the carefree breezy read you need to put you in a good mood. It features a good cast of characters all of them amicable and sweet but not enough to make your teeth hurt. Their journeys are predictable, and their problems are easy to solve. It's just the adult version of BSC's Stoneybrook I'm always on the look for in between thrillers. Audible only has 4 books but there are 8 and they're all on Kindle Unlimited.

Recommend to others: Yes. I can't wait to devour this series.

Beachside Beginnings by Fiona Baker
Marigold Island #2
5h 41m narrated by Meg Price, 193 pages

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance

Featuring: Massachusetts, Island Life, Widowers, Divorcees, Innkeepers, Overcoming Obstacles, Family, Pastries, Author

Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult situations

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏖

My thoughts: Marigold Island is a fictional island between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, with a small-town charm. My only complaint was that the restaurants didn't have names in this book. This story has 2 main romances and 3 backburner romances; all are slow-cooker, so I expect I have to finish the series to get into serious matches. The book was fun with the antics of guests of the inn, but the romance is lukewarm, and the ending was sudden. I'm going to have to use Kindle Unlimited to finish this series and try others. I can't find the author anywhere else for book 4 and beyond.

Recommend to others: Yes. These are additive.

Beachside Promises by Fiona Baker
Marigold Island #3
6h 1m narrated by Meg Price, 334 pages

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance

Featuring: Massachusetts, Island Life, Inn, Overcoming Obstacles, Family, Dating, Bakery

Rating as a movie: PG-13 for adult situations

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½🏖

My thoughts: This was better than the last book in some ways but overall not as good. The conflict in the story is becoming a bit too easy to fix and the characters are overly sweet. It does cover a large amount of time, I think I'm taking a break from this series but I'm looking forward to returning already.

Recommend to others: Yes! I'm going to be sad when I'm done with this series.
