A fresh start…

Midwife Ella Mehenick left the small Cornish town of Port Agnes for London and never looked back. But when her seemingly perfect life crashes down around her, there’s only one place she can heal her battered heart - the place she once called home.

A new arrival…

Ella is quickly welcomed into the small community midwife team and loves her new job caring for mums and their precious babies – it’s what she does best! But being back also means facing ex-flame Dan Ferguson…the first man to break her heart.

A second chance at love?

Dan is still as gorgeous as ever, but he’s never forgiven Ella for leaving. And now she’s back it’s clear that there is unfinished business between them. As Ella settles into her new/old life, she can’t stop the memories of how she once loved Dan so completely – and maybe never stopped.

Maybe coming home to Cornwall is Ella's chance to love again…

Meet The Cornish Midwives of Port Agnes- where community, friendship and love are always delivered.

Critic reviews

"I love second chance stories. I love returning home stories. So a book combining both is an absolute winner for me. The Cornish Midwife is simply gorgeous. Stunning setting, wonderful characters and oozing with warmth. A triumph from Jo Bartlett and a cracking start to what promises to be a fabulous series." (Jessica Redland)

"Perfectly written and set in the beating heart of a community, this story is a wonderful slice of Cornish escapism." (Helen J. Rolfe)

Enjoyed the story although it took a bit longer than needed for the main character to come to her senses. Loved the setting and narration. I’ve moved on to book 2 in the series & will probably listen to all of the books.

Free books are always a gamble. Clicked on this one because the others currently available (monthly credits have been used) didn’t catch my interest.

This is a sweet story that the narrator did a FABULOUS job with the characters. First time I’ve heard a narrator take on the character’s state when they speak - tired, drunk, excites, etc. Thoroughly well done.

This is also a bit of a romance, but more of a story about a woman finding herself and being ok with not living up to the high expectations she unnecessarily put on herself. It’s closed door as well, so those looking for the nitty gritty when she connects with the MMC, be advised that it’s PG at most.

Overall, I’d listen to another by this author and absolutely would listen to another by this narrator.

The glimpse into the life of a midwife was interesting but the story was very slow moving.
