what a lovely story to read once you start to read you cant put it down love story from past to present with a happy ending for eden and levan not giving much more as a read for oneself and always a good book from this author

An enchanting sorry if Cornish secrets and two people trying to rebuild their lives after terrible experiences, albeit they were very different.
Eden comes home to Cornwall after a terrible relationship ( I will say no more, for fear of spoilers!), and starts her own coffee roasting and cafe business, with her trust in people seriously shattered. She finds peace at home with her mum Sally and her granny Iris, a true character who lives near by.
When stranger Levan moves next door, hiding secrets of his own past, can Eden open up her heart and trust again.
A fun, yet emotional read, that had me hooked from the start.

One of my favoured authors does it again. The perfect feel good Christmas novel set in wonderful surroundings. Loveable cgaracters abd a fun story.

Cornwall, betrayal, secrets, love, misunderstandings; this book has them all. A feelgood easy to read story from the ever reliable Phillipa Ashley

Pure escapism and a highly recommended read. Very well researched with a great plot, likeable characters and locations which come alive to the reader. Loved the stories round the lighthouse, the cottages and the workers
Read it , you’ll love it

Back in Cornwall, the setting is a lighthouse, part of the area has been taken by Eden for her coffee enterprise. Buying the coffee beans buying the beans, mixing and roasting. Selling the coffee to visitors, local hotels etc and also her own coffee. shop.

She has returned to Cornwall having divorced her husband on various grounds. Cheating, emptied there bank accounts and also serving a prison sentence for fraud. She and her mother have a new neighbour, who like Even has secrets. Her Grandmother who lives in a retired village close by also has secrets.

It is a good read, for me not as good as some of the others but still recommend it as a 4*

A Secret Cornish Summer by Phillipa Ashley was just fabulous. Great story about Eden who has been betrayed by her husband Simon and moves back in with her mother and Levan who moves in next door. Will they be friends or more? I’m very jealous they have the lighthouse on the doorstep. Could not put this book down.

An enjoyable read.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

it was another great read, I always look forward to a Phillips Ashley book. I really enjoyed the story and how it developed.

Great storyline. Lovable characters and perfect settings all beautifully described! I enjoyed it that much I bought for my colleagues to read in the summer holidays!

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.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Eden has sworn herself off men for life after the ex-husband betrayed her. She steps out of her beautiful costal cottage where she is running her coffee business and sets eyes on Speedo-wearing stranger Levan doing yoga in the next doors garden.
Eden starts to get to know Levan she starts to think he may be different but is he as he seems. Family secrets are uncovered and she starts to question her faith in one’s she loves the most.

This book was not to my taste. DNF

***********************I received an ARC for my honest opinion from NetGalley*********************************

Wow I was hooked a real lovely read great characters fun plot love it I recommend to you all it was gripping characters become like my friends I wanted to aee what happen to them love it

I didn’t love this I’m afraid. A nice enough read but found Eden pretty annoying and rather harsh on Levan I thought when his secret was revealed. Sorry but not my favourite read from this author.

2.5 rounded up to 3.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of this book.

What a wonderful treat to read this with the sun shining. Cornwall, a beautiful part of the country has been bought alive once again by Phillipa Ashley.

The characters were easy to get to know. There was a strong feeling of family togetherness between Eden, her mother and grandmother. I loved them all apart from Simon, her ex husband. Lies just rolled off of his tongue. The new neighbour was adorable and fell in love with him from the beginning. Her grandmother, who is just going to reach the age of 90, is truly feisty, lovable and spirited. She really does love life

Eden, had grown up in Cornwall with her mother and father. He was a lighthouse keeper. After being betrayed by her husband she has to re-evaluate her life and move back in with her mother. She throws herself into her new business venture.

Learning to trust another man again, is not an easy thing. A new owner of the cottage next door, might just be the one person who maybe able to change her thinking. The one thing that Eden doesn’t like is vital information being kept from her.

The story is full of secrets, which Eden finds hard to accept. Are people who they say they are.
As we were taken around the lighthouse, it was so easy to visualise the setting and hear the sound of the sea. The descriptive writing was amazing. The Cornish setting brings love, hope and secrets to the reader.

Thank you Phillipa for allowing me to read this and give a five star review. You never disappoint me. Can’t wait for the Christmas novel.

The perfect summer read, and set in my favourite place… Beautiful Cornwall.

This story is captivating, I fell in love with Levan and Eden and really enjoyed the dynamics between all of the characters, including. “Evil” Simon,

This is a lovely, easy summer read,
m
