Summary

Ellie Truman’s widowed mum is struggling to keep Gwel Teg, the family hotel in Cornwall, afloat. Ellie is determined to do everything in her power to help her, even if that means moving back to the sleepy Cornish village she fled from broken-hearted a few years ago. Things go wrong from the start, and she’s grateful for the help from hunky guest Reece Mitchell. But does Reece have ulterior motives? Will Ellie’s efforts be for nothing?

Predictable but enjoyable

a pleasant story evoking a longing to go to Cornwall but the characters were typically white middle class successful professionals.

A lovely read

An easy read without too much drama. It’s the usual fairy tale ending but it wasn’t too sickly sweet and it focused on all the good qualities in a person such as love, loyalty, unselfishness, kindness and generosity etc, without the heart stopping urgency’s of some story’s. So a nice easy listen.
