Over the Sea to Skye by Sue Moorcroft
Series: The Skye Sisters Trilogy #3
Genres: Contemporary Fiction
One summer on a beautiful island could change everything…
Valentina Taylor's life has been upended. With her marriage over, and unsure of what her future holds, she heads to the Isle of Skye for the summer with her young son, Barnaby.
But the journey there sets her on a new path, when she meets Xander Courage on the train – a charming American, running from problems of his own. After sparks fly, they go their separate ways. But on this small island, they’re never far from one another…
Skye offers Valentina the refuge she needs as she whiles away the long summer days at her beachside cottage, enjoying visits from her sisters, Thea and Ezzie. But when bad news from home throws her Scottish idyll into turmoil, Valentina finds herself pulled away from the place – and people – that she loves.
Valentina knows she must confront her heart’s desires – but can she let go of the past and embrace the future she deserves?
Lose yourself in a heartfelt story of second chances, love, and self-discovery, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Isle of Skye. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Karen Swan.

Review
Valentina’s story tugged at my heartstrings in the best way. As the eldest Wynter sister, her journey felt deeply layered—navigating single motherhood, her complicated relationship with her ex, and the lingering gap left by her unknown biological family.
When her summer on Skye begins with a chaotic train ride thanks to a charming American tourist and takes an even sharper turn with her ex’s sudden hospitalization, I was hooked. Despite all the upheaval, there’s so much heart in this book—love, belonging, and hope all shine through. Watching Valentina open herself up to the possibility of new love while reconnecting with pieces of her past was both satisfying and beautifully written.
The lush setting of Skye, the heartfelt (and sometimes hilarious) family dynamics, and the quiet strength Valentina shows throughout made this a standout in the series. I adored seeing her character come full circle, and the glimpses of her sisters made it even better.
If you love emotional fiction with rich character growth and plenty of charm, this one’s for you!
