About this listen

 Can they open their hearts to new beginnings?

Summer in Cornwall is the perfect time for a fresh start…

Seven years ago, Marina Hudson’s husband was lost at sea. She vowed to love him forever – but when kind-hearted Lachlan arrives in Porthmellow, should she deny herself another chance at happiness?

Tiff Trescott was living life to the full as a journalist in London – until her boyfriend’s betrayal brought it all crashing down. Fleeing to her cousin Marina’s cottage, Tiff feels like a fish out of water. And when brooding local Dirk wins a day with her in a charity auction, she’s thrown headfirst into Cornish life.

This summer promises new beginnings for both Tiff and Marina. But are they too good to be true?

Escape to Cornwall with this emotional, uplifting read from the bestselling author, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Sue Moorcroft and Heidi Swain.

Proably my favourite of Phillipa's Porthmellow books to date (I am hoping this isn't a trilogy and more will follow), helped by an excellent narrator who made a good job of the male as well as the varied femaie voices.

I love the fascinating detail running through the story of how the coastguard and lifeboat crews work - clearly well researched - and the concept of the Wave Watchers is brilliant. Transported to the beautiful Cornish coast as I took my daily dog walks in the rain during our very soggy June, it was easy to become immersed and invested in the lives of the characters. The first plot twist (which I had almost decided I must have imagined would come) arrived woven cleverly into the storyline and and the second one, at the end, was completely unexpected.

Such a well-crafted book - when you can imagine yourself right there, you know the author has got it spot on! Highly recommended.

Glorious read sets you gently down in Cornwall

Found the story easy to listen to and enjoyable. Really liked the twist and the character development. I thought accents from the narrated were questionable but she gave them a good go. Overall I good listen

Lighthearted story with a fun twist and likeable characters

But worst South African dialect ever. Sounds a bit Australian but mostly like a not native English speaker.

Great story

I love this story set in west Cornwall , it was well narrated and I loved the story and characters.
My only thought was crockles tends to be a term used mostly in Devon and in west Cornwall we use the word emmits. I have read or listened to all Phillipa Ashley’s book and enjoyed all. Feel good stories :-)

Lovely story
