Five years ago, Zennor’s perfect Cornish wedding fell apart in the most spectacular style - thanks to Matt Veryan, the man who crashed the celebrations and shattered her happily ever after.
Now a successful business owner in St Ives, Zennor is shocked to discover Matt is not only back in her life- he’s also her new landlord.
As old feelings resurface and long-buried secrets come to light, Zennor must face the truth about her past, her marriage . . . and the man she never truly forgot.
But can Zennor ever forgive Matt? And if she does, could it lead her to a love greater than she ever dared dream possible?
Review: I have been a fan of this author for some time now and always look forward to reading her new releases. As the title suggests, this summer’s book is set in Cornwall, so I was anticipating a romance with some beautiful scenery and seaside activity. I was not disappointed.
The story begins in the Cornish town of St Ives, at the wedding of Zennor to Trev, which is interrupted disastrously by the unwelcome entrance of her ex, Matt, who she has not seen for years. Matt has a lot to say but is too late to stop the ceremony. It then continues 5 years later, when Zennor is no longer married, but is running a successful talent agency in the same Cornish town. Everything is going well in her life when suddenly Matt and then Trev reappear in town. Each has become a wealthy businessman and each is interested in rekindling a relationship with Zennor. Unfortunately, Matt is now landlord of Zennor’s rundown office building, which is awkward as she has not forgiven him for ruining her special day all those years ago but now has to face him almost daily as he makes repairs. However, as time passes, her attitude towards him gradually changes as she finds him helping her out in many ways. When secrets of all kinds begin to reveal themselves in Zennor’s life, she thinks she may have to admit her true feelings to him and to herself.
This was a complicated, if predictable, story full of twists and turns. The setting is, as you would expect of Cornwall, lovely and the characters are, in the main, likeable. I especially liked Zennor, and admired the way she had made a success of things after her marriage ended. She also showed great fortitude in dealing with Matt and Trev when they walked back into her life. She did take her time, however, over whether to forgive Matt. As the secrets began to be revealed towards the end of the story, even I was shocked, never mind Zennor. This escapist book of love and friendship would be good for a summer holiday read.
