About the book:
From the attic of Driftwood House there are stunning views of the deep green sea and sapphire sky. But Rosie can’t tear her eyes away from the faded photograph in her hands, and the words written on the back that will change everything…
Back in the tiny seaside village of Heaven’s Cove after the death of her mother, all Rosie Merchant wants is to hide her tears, rent out her childhood home, and get back to her ‘real’ life, away from the gossiping villagers and wild Devon weather she escaped from years ago.
She’s surprised to find a smiling man in hiking boots – local farmer Liam – waiting on the stone doorstep. His kind offer to help clear crumbling, isolated Driftwood House is hard to refuse, and despite Rosie’s determination not to let anyone get close, soon they’re walking and laughing together along the clifftops. As clouds scud across the endless sky and green waves crash against the shore, Rosie is reminded that nowhere is more beautiful than home.
Then, up in the attic of Driftwood House, Rosie stumbles across a photo which exposes the heart-stopping truth about how her mother came to live at Driftwood House years ago… and Liam only seems concerned about the implications for his own nearby farm. Did he know this painful secret all along, and should she run from Heaven’s Cove for good? Or will facing up to her devastating family history mean Rosie can finally put down roots in this beautiful place?
What did I think:
This is my first book by this author. The cover drew me in at the start - and the fact the book is set in Devon. I spent 6 very happy years living in Devon and this book ha made me want to return for a visit hen we can.
I loved the setting as I said but also the developing friendship between Rosie and Liam. Of course we know they will end up together but the path of true love is never a smooth one. Some little hiccups thrown in along the way to try and upset the applecart. Some cracking characters in the village which made me laugh out loud.
I was looking for a bit of lighthearted escapism to take my mind off hat is going on in the country just now - and this book was the perfect answer. An idyllic setting, bit of sunshine and a story of hope and triumph. So glad this is the start of a new series of books as I need to know more. I will most certainly be reading more books by this author.
