Summary

’The ideal summer escape’ Woman’s Weekly‘Gorgeous…’ WomanPraise for the Cornish Cream Tea series:‘Gorgeous!’ Phillipa Ashley‘Perfect’ Cathy Bramley‘Warm-hearted fun with a sprinkle of love’ Holly Martin

It’s going to be an unforgettable Cornish summer…

Thea Rushwood was looking forward to exploring the beautiful Cornish tourist spot of Port Karadow, but when her friend drops out at the last minute, she is forced to go solo. Arriving at her cosy holiday cottage to discover a building site next door, Thea and the annoyingly attractive, but grumpy builder, Ben, don’t get off to the best start.

Thea starts to wonder if her perfect escape wasn’t meant to be. That’s before she realizes there is more to Ben – and to the community – than she first thought. As a magical Cornish summer stretches out in front of her, Thea discovers this is one holiday that she never wants to end…

Fantastic group of books

I have so enjoyed reading “The Cornish Cream Tea” books. What a fantastic idea from Cressida McKaughlin. Brilliantly written; metaphors and writing so descriptive and Bea Holland is perfect narrating. I think I only have one more to read …. Theses books appeal to all ages - I’m 68 - but love the romance in them - true romance - no smut - love all the characters.

A day of sunshine in Cornwall described.

I have all of these stories and listen to them more than once. Occasionally I find one linking to another but in this one the cream tea came in a carton. Whereas I would have liked to hear some interaction with Charlie’s bus and Charlie herself. Or maybe they could have gone for a fisherman’s pie. This led me to thinking that maybe this was a different village entirely. Can we have a map of the location please. I am fascinated by how people come to be in Cornwall. You write well Cressida and I love Bea’s interpretation of the characters. A map would help me enormously. On to Memories from Cornwall tonight…. Can’t wait
