One Cornish Summer With You: The uplifting new romance and escapist beach read from the Sunday Times bestselling author by Phillipa AshleyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Tammy lives in the Cornish harbour town of Porthmellow where she creates sand designs (eg pictures or 'Will You Marry Me?' scripts) and supplements her earnings by working at the local art gallery for her father's friend Davey.
Her idyllic childhood was marred when her mother left her father and her father gambled away their family home. The final blow was when his body was found washed ashore - was it a tragic accident for a local who became over-confident, or did he take his own life?
Every year on the anniversary of his death, Tammy creates a special design to honour his memory. This year, while she works she notices a man in a business suit watching her. Ruan is a solicitor who has recently moved from Bristol to Cornwall for a better work-life balance and his struck by the beauty and skill of the woman working on the beach.
Romance ensues but Ruan has a secret, which turns out to be much bigger than he imagined, which could break this young couple apart.
This was okay, I found Tammy a bit difficult to believe as a character, she was just so nagtive about everything, and Ruan was just another cut-out Ken doll - no faults at all.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
