A really good read!
I enjoyed Amanda James’s writing style , with some Cornish magic thrown in . As a general rule I am not a fan of different timelines within a story , but I really enjoyed this book.
The book had a mystical quality about it. A real feel good story with characters which were believable.
I highly Recommend this book - I loved it !
Thank you to Netgalley, and Harper Collins for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

This is a story of one family throughout the years and how they find romance.

It brings the joys of romance and the heartbreak of family's.

It is an easy read, although fairly predictable.

I thought this was going to be abit of a modern take on Beauty and the Beast based on the cover tagline. However, going into the story with that expectation, I was disappointed.

I did enjoy the story overall but I think my own expectations not being met made the story fall short for me.

This was an amazing read and took me on an emotional journey that left me in tears. I am so thankful that I was blessed to read this novel.

As I started the story I felt my heart sinking. There were lots of timelines and I thought I was going to get confused. I was just starting to think I couldn’t remember who was who when everything sorted itself out and the story settled on Loworna. From that moment on I was drawn in by the magic of ‘Magic Cove’. I was so pleased when it all wrapped up so nicely but I also loved that it didn’t gloss over harsh realities - for example Wenna refusing to speak to her sister and running out of time. It gave the story a reality alongside the magic.

What a wonderful heartfelt story. It will definitely put a smile on your face.
Frustrated with her current family situation, and wanting more for her future Lamorna is intrigued with
a local legend promising magic. She struggles with the decision to toss a message in a bottle into to ocean during a June full moon in hopes of finding true love.
Discovering her Grandmother regretted backing out years before hangs heavy on her mind and she finally goes for it. Lamorna finds her magic, will others be so lucky?
The story winds thru generations of believers, non believers and wannabe believers. Wonderful characters with great storylines.
How far would you go to believe in the magic, the fairy tale and happy ending?

I received a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions is this review are my own.

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

I loved the magical element of this story and didn’t want it to end.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

A gorgeous romantic story that just got better and better and left me with a warm feeling in my heart and a total belief in the magic of love and of Cornwall.
My thanks to Netgalley for my copy of Wish Upon a Cornish Moon.

This was a wonderful story. Everyone needs a bit of magic in their lives! All the characters. seemed very real and the story flowed beautifully onwards. I was totally immersed in the story and felt very satisfied at the end.

Thank to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

History repeats itself when Lamorna tells her great love story to her great nephew Ethan. 15 year old Lamorna threw a message in a bottle in the Atlantic at Magic Cove back in in 1938, someone writes back and becomes her great love. In 1997 Ethan is inspired to do the same however, his message isn’t answered for over twenty years. Single mom Merlin wish told of the legend of magic cove, wishes on the moon and discovers Ethan’s bottle in the sea the following day. Will this result in Ethan and Merlin’s love story or is it all a mere coincidence.

Another story about the romantic effect of the Cornish coast. But one of the better ones!
Messages in bottles are thrown into the ocean while incanting a rhyme. And unbelievably picked up and even though part of it happens during the war years they manage to meet up. Even when Harry has been injured.
But bringing it forward the Cornish ocean works its magic again with part of the same family. Wonderful. I cried.

This is a sweet story about finding one’s destiny and true love that is magical. Folklore has it that by visiting a magical cove in Cornwall and sending a message in a bottle, true love will find you. The story is told from multiple POV and from varying timelines, where each character has been touched by this magic. A Cornish girl finds true love with an American, her sister with an Irishman, and then later another with another American. While sweet and enchanting, I found myself skipping through parts because it didn’t quite hold my interest. Last, I did not like the character Ethan who was a “nice” guy but without much backbone. While magic was at work, there was nothing where someone was swept off their feet, so a bit lackluster in the romance department. I loved the setting of Cornwall, but I had hopes for a better story. This one just didn’t really seem to have the magic needed. I rate this a 3/5. A solid wholesome story, some delightful characters, beautiful setting. many thanks to #netgalley #amandaJames #wishuponacornishmoon for the opportunity to read nd review this book.

This was a wonderful love story taking place over several generations. I really enjoyed this easy read!

Set in Cornwall over multiple time periods. In 1899 Mary as a young girl believes it is possible to find her true love simply by making a wish on a full moon in June and sending a message in a bottle from Magic Cove.
Years later in 1938 Mary convinces her granddaughter Lamorna to send a wish and a message in a bottle to find a sweetheart during June on the full moon.
In the present day Merrin is also tempted to make a wish during June on the full moon.
This was a magical romance about finding true love. It was about family relationships and friendships.
I loved the characters from the past and the present time and the way they interacted.

This story captured my heart and imagination.

Sometimes I just want a little bit of magic in my life and "Wish Upon a Cornish Moon" by Amanda James more than answered my wishes!
.

Wish Upon a Cornish Moon is a lovely, mystical novel by Amanda James set in a small town on the Cornish coastline. This story is a mix of legendary old wives tales, a magical cove where it is told a special message in a bottle thrown to sea at midnight during a June full moon will bring your own true love if you believe and are worthy, and people effected by these tales. Two such sisters, Lamorna and Mowenna Williams, find this to be true as the story unravels linking generations together.

This multigenerational tale stretches almost a century between the time Grandma Mary shares this tale with 15 year old Lamorna before World War II begins and the current time when Mowenna recounts the stories to Merrit Pascoe, a disillusioned single mother.

Once again, Ms. James has spun a magical tale of the unexplainable and the good fortune that can accompany it. Her lovely prose paints such perfect descriptions that the reader is transported to the moonlit cove and can almost feel the magic. I very much enjoyed this book and I do recommend it!

I loved this beautiful story, full of magic and good things. A real feel good story, perfect for a summers day. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review..
