I received a free copy of, A Summer Wedding at the Cornish Manor, by Linn B. Halton, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book 3 of 3 in the Escape to Cornwall series. Summer weddings are really nice, though I prefer fall or winter, less sweaty for sure. I have loved Cornwall since I started watching Doc Martin. Jess and Riley have a very busy summer at the farm, a lot to learn, and growing to do. This is an enjoyable beach read.

This was the third installment in the series and overall and great read.

I loved returning back to the manor and getting all the vibes again.

Having read the previous books in the series, reading this felt like catching up with old friends and seeing what they were up to.

The story follows all the main characters and tells their story in turn and how their lives are unfolding with the changing times on the farm. It makes you want to visit and be in Cornwall while also glad you are not running a business and doing a rebuild all at the same time.

It's a shame it is the last book in the series and I wish them all well!

Renweneth Farm where Jess and Lola her daughter live are trying to rebuild Renweneth Manor for her and future husband to live in when they marry. There are lots of problems to overcome.

What bliss to lose yourself in Linn’s books- absolutely enjoyed following Jess and Riley’s developing romance-it’s a follow on story from Linn’s previous novel. I loved every minute! Jess has inherited a Cornish manor which she is turning into a home and a place full of local crafts. Beautifully described and atmospheric - I could imagine myself there.

A summer wedding is the third in the sunny series. Jess and Riley are navigating a new relationship, planning a wedding, renovating, keeping a business afloat too. It’s a trying time and Riley still faces the uncertainty of co parenting Ollie with sulky Fiona!
This is a great book and it really complements the series.
It was so nice to catch up and enjoy the Manor House and Cornwall in all it’s glory!
Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange of sn honest review.

I really do love this series and it's not getting stale :). Riley and Jess are planning their wedding, Adam and Ivy are expecting their twins, Cappy is up to something and Prudie is making trouble,as usual!

There are some tear-jerking moments and a couple of heartstoppers but in their own way, everyone gets to where they need to be - even if they didn't know they needed to be there initially ;)

This is a heartwarming story about family and friends. It has very likeable characters, and it is set in a beautiful place, Cornwall.
I like lovely romances like this with ups and downs of a community and with a happy ending. I will read the other two parts of the series as well.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. Having enjoyed the previous books in the Cornish Bakery trilogy I was pleased to have my request for the ARC of 'A Summer Wedding at the Cornish Manor' approved. As with the others, I enjoyed this book a lot. It was an easy read and I was invested in the characters. Halton has created a beautiful world in Renweneth Farm and the story is well paced. I'm disappointed this is the final book in the trilogy as I want to learn what happens next for Riley, Jess, Ivy, Cappy, and the rest of the characters.

It was great to catch up with Jess, Riley and their family again. With the title A summer Wedding it was obvious who would be getting married but life is very busy with the ongoing work at Renweneth and Riley’s relationship with his family. It was great to see the outcome but I think there is still space for another book. Thanks to Linn and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley

This was a wonderful story of love and friendship and the close relationship of family and friends. It was lovely reading about the Renweneth Farm manor house refurbishment and the trials and tribulations they faced. I loved it.

We return to Renweneth Manor for the final time in the series.
Jess and Riley are well on the way to completing the renovations.
It's a new chapter for Adam and Ivy as their world is about to be turned upside down.
A certain someone breathes new life for Cappy.
And to top it all, we have the summer wedding.
It was lovely catching up with all the characters. Even Prudie became likeable after ruffling a few feathers.
I have absolutely loved this series.
I hope Linn writes another series that warms the heart.
Thank you to Aria and Aries for the invitation to read this in return for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Jess is excited about her upcoming wedding. When some issues arise, she starts questioning her future. This book was a quick read.

A Summer Wedding at the Cornish Manor is a sweet romance that is the continuation of an earlier series. Jess has been trusted with a family farm and is trying to turn it into a profitable business. At the same time, she is trying to plan her wedding. There are a lot of ups and downs with managing finances, interpersonal relationships, and pleasing lessors.

This is a sweet, heartwarming book about people in a small community and the relationships they have that keep them going. It was easy to read and a pleasant subject, like rambling over a gentle rolling hill.

However, I had not read the previous books and the whole first section of the book was just rehashing what had already happened. There was a lot of review of the previous books, but I was still left confused about what was happening until around the middle of the book. I was sorely tempted to give this up but stuck with it. I didn't find it to be a compelling read until around three-quarters of the way into the story.

This was labelled as a romance, but there is not any pump of romance. The romance already happened in a previous book. So it did not deliver what I was expecting.

As a story, this was okay as part of a series but as a standalone, it fell flat for me.

Jess has her hands full, renovations on the farm and planning a wedding on the farm. this was a quick easy read.

Whilst I enjoyed this story, I wasn’t gripped to the storyline and often found some of the characters etc a little confusing as there seemed a lot!
Having said this I do like the overall idea of the storyline and the farm sounds lovely.

A Summer Wedding at the Cornish Manor by Linn B Halton

As the seasons change, so do the lives of those who call the farm home. Bustling with activity in anticipation of a busy Spring, it’s all go with Jess and Riley's wedding on the horizon and Renweneth Manor’s restoration in full swing.

But while the farm business flourishes, Jess and Ivy need to learn to navigate unforeseen challenges – financial worries, two disgruntled locals, and even a blast from Riley's past… In the midst of it all can Ivy juggle a new and unexpected arrival with her booming business, and can Jess keep track of her perfect day?

First time read by this author and didn't realise this was the third in the series. Having said that , I still very much enjoyed this book and felt it can be read as a standalone , although I plan to read the other two !
All the characters were great and I felt invested in them very quickly.
This would make a great tv series , as It's set in wonderful Cornwall and all its beauty and the plotline would fit for tv also.

Lovely to be back on the Cornish farm . Jess has her hands full with the renovations at the Manor House, planning a wedding , dealing with tricky people. So many twists in this third book. But I really loved it and it was all tied up neatly at the end. A great read and a perfect ending.

This is a very sweet book. I don't want to sound like I am talking down this type of book. I love this type of book. It is like a warm cup of coffee under a cozy blanket on a rainy day. Same vibe. Same feeling. Great book.

A Summer Wedding at the Cornish Manor is Book 3 of 3 in the Escape to Cornwall series.

A Summer Wedding at the Cornish Manor follows Jess and Riley as renovations continue on Renweneth Manor in anticipation of their upcoming wedding. Jess’s best friend Ivy and her husband Adam are also juggling her bakery business on the farm and an unexpected arrival. Will Jess, Riley, Ivy and Adam be able to handle all the challenges in their lives?

This is such a sweet story set in Cornwall and I love the descriptions of the farm and surrounding countryside. Book 3 can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you read the series to get to know the characters and follow along on the entire journey.

A heart warming story that celebrates a community that comes together to help one of their own. A great wrap up to the series.

Thank you to Netgalley and Aria for the advance copy to read and review. All opinions are my own.
