Summary

An unforgettable tale of romance, humour and heart set against the stunning backdrop of the Cornish coast, from the Sunday Times bestseller.

When Eden steps out of her beautiful coastal cottage to find a Speedo-wearing, suntanned stranger doing yoga in next door’s garden, she is immediately on her guard. Since her ex-husband betrayed her in the worst possible ways, she has kept her distance from all men, taking refuge in her start-up coffee business.

But as she gets to know Levan, Eden begins to wonder if he might be different – until she discovers he’s not quite what he seems. And when a long-buried family secret surfaces, her faith in those she loves most is shaken to the core.

As the secrets spill out, relationships old and new will be tested like never before. Can Eden learn to trust again, and move past all the secrets of this Cornish summer?

A heart-warming listen full of sun, sea, friendship and romance perfect for fans of SARAH MORGAN and TRISHA ASHLEY.

Critic reviews

"I loved A Secret Cornish Summer... Gloriously uplifting and unashamedly warm-hearted!" (Faith Hogan)

"Full of secrets and hope. A smashing slice of life in a seaside town, the perfect place to draw a line in the sand and for new beginnings." (Jo Thomas)

"Combines romance, humour and intrigue so well… The whole thing was so captivating, and I loved that there were secrets peppered and hinted at throughout…that I was desperate to uncover. A Secret Cornish Summer is blissful story, full of sunshine, secrets and Phillipa’s trademark romance, that I loved diving into." (Cressida McLaughlin)

Refreshing change.

I love how this touched on real life issues between people.
Especially bullying who’s is sadly rife in certain walks of life.
It was lovely reading how three generations interacted
And was genuinely a different feel but still in the same Genre
Not much gushy mushy stuff.
Thank you.

What a fabulous book

this book was fantastic from start to end, I loved the character and how the story develops through all of them. I love the fact that the main female characters are strong willed, feisty and independent. I love how the main themes develop through the book and keep you on the edge of your seat hoping that everything will turn out OK. I cannot recommend this book highly enough and did not want the book to finish.

Oh that’s it then

Well the trauma was hyped the story lacked purpose and the narrators were brilliant then I think the authors pen must have run out of ink as it ended abruptly…

Yes, good to address the bullying aspect but it was not really given the denouement the hype had led to it needing hmmmm oh well a wasted credit this time

Ended too suddenly

I enjoyed the characters and overall storyline but then it came to an end too abruptly

Dull

This story was flat with no purpose at all. I kept trying to look for a storyline but never found one. The characters lacked any emotion nor personality. Sadly not for me!
