A gentle romance based in a beautiful coastal setting. A real adult look at divorce and the impact on the children as well as both parents. Such a good flow to this book as futures are forged and new ideas tested out. The confidence that grows in the book in both Jess and Riley is palpable.

I have read quite a few of this author's books now and have loved each one, I adore her light-hearted easy-to-read writing style and her tender and wholesome stories, you really can't get any better from the genre then reading a Linn B. Halton book!

Summer at the Cornish farmhouse is an absolute delight, it's charming, heart-warming, full of warmth and lots and lots of heart, i loved it, it has easily become my favourite of Linn's books (to date).

This is a proper second chance story of a woman after her diverse moves to Cornwall with her grandfather, hoping for a new life with her daughter and a chance to move past the heartache. She has no intention of love or romance, and she isn't searching for another beau - which are really the best stories aren't they when love just appears when you least expect it"!

This is when Riley walks in, a man of all trades who offers to help her and her grandfather with renovations on the farm. I loved the relationship between them, it's a slow-burner and I wondered if they would ever even make it as the romance is so subtly and beautifully written but I do see more for this couple in the future,, maybe a sequel? or a series?

Overall this is utterly charming!

Linn’s novels are both class- delightful to read. Jess’s life turns upside down and she finds it hard to accept that her marriage is over. Whatever Jess plans to do the main decider is to protect and nurture her daughter Lola. Warm, touching and romantic, Jess realises the importance of friendship and local community

When Jess' husband leaves her for another woman she is devastated, so when her grandfather offers her the chance of a new life in his Cornish farmhouse she and her eight year old daughter Lola jump at the chance.

Jess is determined to restore the farmhouse and surrounding farmyard outbuildings and barns to expand the fledgling camping and holiday cottage business she has started, but her long-term goal has to be restoring Renweneth Manor, the derelict old house and gardens sitting on their land.

Jess has done most of the renovations herself, with some assistance from specialists like electricians, but when all round handyman and builder Riley offers to give Jess two days a week of his time she can really get going with the renovations.

This was pleasant enough, but there was no conflict, no drama, even the romance was low-key, and as a result when I got to the end I felt a little as though nothing had happened. Or maybe that this is the first chapter in a series? Anyway, a gentle romance where no-one is ever mean or unkind might just be your cup of tea on a bad day.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This book is so full of wholesome goodness that is beautiful to curl up with, that I enjoyed right through.

This is an excellent feel good read. It has a range of characters of various ages and personalities. As the story builds the reader is filled in on the history of the various characters and this leads to a really rounded tale filled with fun, friendship, love and optimism.

This was a delightful fun read. Set in the gorgeous countryside of Cornwall with the sea tantalisingly close enough to sniff.

With a new life for her and Lola her daughter she relocates to her grandparents farm in Cornwall to start a new life managing the campsite.

Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I am so glad that I read this book. It was lovely and left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Highly recommend.

I thought this looked like a fun book to read.

This was a sweet, feel-good book set in Cornwall. It was a lovely, light-hearted read. I think it is the kind of book that I would pick up when I feel like a different kind of escape. The type of book that I will enjoy once and then pass on to someone else to enjoy, because reading it might cheer them up too.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

Summer at the Cornish Farmhouse , a warm, busy story of Jess and her 8 year old starting life afresh after Jess's divorce.

It is a story of second chances and starting a new chapter in life for most of the characters on a sleepy, forgotten Farmhouse which is coming alive in all possible ways. I quite enjoyed the hustle bustle, budding friendships and romances .

This was a delightful read and a fun escape to the English countryside of Cornwall!

Surprised by her husband’s announcement that their marriage is over, Jess escapes with her daughter, Lola, to the comfort of her grandparent’s farm of her youth. Jess and Lola slowly restart their lives with new friendships, multiple challenges and fresh air at the rundown farm.

As Jess rehabs the farm’s buildings with the help of Riley, a local Mr. Fix-It, she also rehabs her life.
It is not the turn of events that are surprising, but Jess’ reaction to them as her character matures and learns how to react to them.

This was a fun and easy to read story with likable characters that leave you looking forward to a sequel! My first, but not my last escape with Linn B. Halton!

Thank you #Net Galley and #Aria&Aries for the ARC !

I loved this book so much.
As I was reading it it felt likei was there with jess telling me what's going on.

In this delightful, uplifting and romantic book we meet Jess and her daughter who have moved into their Grandparents property in Cornwall. Jess is ready to start a new journey after being newly divorced. Jess has alot of work today, revamping the building and campsite to make the money start coming in. It is here that Jess hires Riley and well the rest as they say is history. I highly recommend this book filled with feel good vibes.

Jess and her daughter move to her Grandparents property in Cornwall after her divorce.

This was a story about finding yourself after a divorce.

After her husband tells Jess that it’s over, she and her daughter Lola move to her grandparents farmhouse in Cornwall for a fresh start.

That’s where she met Riley and they were so fun together!

I received a free copy of, Summer at the Cornish Farmhouse, by Linn B. Halton. Jess thought her life was all planned out, until her husband told her its over, they divorce and he moves on without her. Jess decides to start over in beautiful Cornwall, with her 8 year old daughter Lola. Change is never easy especially if you never wanted it in the first place. Jess is a really strong character, I really enjoyed her, Lola, and Cappy.
