"When Cass Marshall received the call from her sister in London to ask her if she would have Justin, her son; Cass' nephew, to stay, the words that Vi was saying about Justin made her wary. But she agreed, and before long nineteen year old Justin arrived from the UK. Cass and Vi's mother was in the Bellbird Bay nursing home, not expected to last much longer. Cass had been her mother's carer with Vi so far away, and the heartbreak Cass was feeling was difficult. Justin went with his aunt to meet his grandmother, but was distressed at how she was. Cass learned from Justin that his father wanted Justin to follow him into law, and Justin hated it. So it was Cass' job to "sort him out".

Mick Roberts was a changed man after his second heart attack, and was doing as his doctor told him. He and his brother Pete had had to put their father into the nursing home after the fall that had broken his hip - the home they'd all lived in was too big for their father now. Once he'd recovered from surgery, would the cantankerous old man agree to enter the over 55's place, where he'd own his own cottage? Mick had recently caught up with Cass, a woman he'd known a long time, and there seemed to be a spark between them. Could anything come of it? Both of them had things they'd rather forget about their pasts - could they be happy together?

Happy Ever After in Bellbird Bay is the 9th and final book in The Bellbird Bay series by Aussie author Maggie Christensen and once again I really enjoyed it. Catching up with the locals where the surf was always good, the whale watching cruises an experience to look forward to, the Surf Club's meals were raved about - and old Ruby Sullivan watched over her town; Bellbird Bay is somewhere I'd love to at least holiday at, if not move to :) I'm sad to be saying goodbye to them all, but the author mentioned a few of Bellbird Bay's locals could pop up in her new, upcoming series which will be set in the fictional town of Pelican Crossing, set on the coast of Queensland. Highly recommended.
