Ben was an intriguing character who I grew to love. His past shadowed his pure heart of gold but as his barriers began to come down we could see he was a pure gentleman with a whole lot of love to give, he had just lost his way. This is the perfect read for the beach, sun lounger or sofa, if the British summertime doesn’t deliver! Great series but equally so as a standalone read. Highly recommend. And with new friends, there is a beach BBQ competition to tantalise the taste buds, as well as a sandcastle competition, not to mention typical touristy activities. When I think of Thea's first day on holiday, to how she develops over the course of her stay, I can't help but feel proud of her! I’m really looking forward to the next book by this author especially the next book in the Cornish Cream Tea series. If you haven’t read a book by this author or this series then honestly you’re missing out.

The Cornish Cream Tea Holiday: Cornish Cream Tea, Book 6

When it comes to the cream teas, you can expect a choice of fruit or plain scones with lashings of strawberry jam and Rodda’s Cornish Clotted Cream as well as two piping hot teas to wash it all down with. Throw in one of their famous crab sandwiches and you have the makings of a pretty spectacular Cornish lunch. Woods Café We are reunited with some of much-loved characters from previous books, Meredith and Finn are weaved in around the storyline and it is great to see how well they are doing. We also have a very brief appearance from Charlie and Daniel but I really wish we could have more of them and Gertie in the novels but I need to stop being needy and just appreciate that a little bit of a good thing is probably what makes you want and love something even more. As with previous books from the series we get reacquainted with some previous characters and this time it is Merry and Flynn, so very lovely to see them again.A gorgeous summer romance brimming with heart, humour and charm, Cressida McLaughlin’s latest novel, The Cornish Cream Tea Holiday is simply superb.

So we have Thea who has come away on holiday, but also has her mind on her future and making her dreams come true. She is staying next door to builder Ben, who is renovating his own home and clearly running from something himself.Thea was a character that had a lot of growth throughout the book and although this is book six it can be read as a standalone. It was lovely seeing her interactions with characters from the previous book though and it was nice for me to catch up with them too. But it is the romance and the hope for that eternally wonderful happy ever after for Thea that makes this such a special book. The people of Devon believe their method makes the most sense as cream is like butter and you wouldn’t put butter on jam, plus you can get more cream on the scone if you put it on first. It’s also believed that it originated from when jam was expensive, so you’d only put a little on top.

holiday From Cornwall with Love: escapist and romantic holiday

A gorgeous love story, a beguiling romance that transported me to the most beautiful places on earth with characters I adored from the start. It's perfectly pitched between funny, sexy, tender and downright heartbreaking. I loved it .” They’re are helping the Crystal Waters Hotel to ramp up its green credentials, though after a bumpy journey, Hannah can’t shake off the feeling that Porthgolow is strangely familiar. Never able to resist a mystery, her interest is piqued when the hotel’s staff and customers report odd noises and sightings, believing the hotel to be haunted. When they first meet, there is something that infuriates them both about each other, and it soon seems that their paths are going to cross more than once throughout Thea’s stay. But what exactly do they both have to hide from each other? And will the dreams they have actually come true? Thea is a librarian, but has a dream to open a book shop by the sea (isn't that a bookworms dream?) so books a holiday with her friend to Port Karradow a childhood destination. Hannah Swan is looking forward to Christmas for the first time in years. Her new job as an eco-consultant is taking her – and her geeky colleague, Noah – to the beautiful Cornish village of Porthgolow for the first time.A dog-friendly café near Falmouth, it’s such a tranquil spot to visit. You could make more of a trip out of it, and catch the St Mawes Ferry from Falmouth, from there you’ll need to hop on a Go Cornwall Bus, which goes every 50 minutes. The story is about a woman called Thea who goes on holiday to Cornwall for three weeks. She comes across Ben the builder and she can't get away from him, since he owns the property there, and he is busy doing it up. Soon they become besties, and maybe more. Thea and Ben are lovely characters, who I enjoyed reading about. I also liked the other characters of the book, and the setting. Fancy something to eat at Britain’s most southerly café? With fresh, locally caught lobster on the menu, of course you do! Surrounded by the beautiful coast that makes up the Lizard peninsula, and only a stunning walk away from the popular Kynance Cove, Polpeor Café is a jaw-dropping spot to settle down for a bite to eat. The cast of characters in this story were hugely likeable and I found it somewhat refreshing that it was the male protagonist suffering from a hard past and trust issues whilst our leading lady was determined and focussed come what may. With their seasonal hampers on everyone’s wish list, Meredith must paste on a smile and fake some holiday cheer. Then she meets handsome new arrival, Finn, who wishes it could be Christmas every day and wants her to feel the same way too.
