Summary
Return to the Cornish Café in this gorgeous, festive romance - the perfect book to curl up with this Christmas.
Christmas will be slightly less turbulent than summer, won't it? Demi certainly hopes so.
She and Cal are keeping their fledgling relationship under wraps for now. But then Kit Bannen, a hunky, blond - and somewhat mysterious - writer arrives at Kilhallon Resort, and not everyone is charmed. Cal is sure that Kit is hiding something. But is he the only one guarding a secret?
Demi is busy baking festive treats for the newly opened Demelza's café, but when Cal's ex Isla arrives to shoot scenes for her new drama, Demi can't help but worry that things aren't quite over between them. Kit flirts with both women, fuelling Cal's suspicions that Kit has hidden motives for staying on at Kilhallon. Then Cal has to go to London, leaving Demi and Kit to decorate the cafe for Christmas...all by themselves.
A storm is brewing in more ways than one. As surprises unfold and truths are uncovered, can Demi and Cal finally open up to each other about their feelings?

Great Book
I love Phillipa Ashley and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have read/listened to, this, 2nd in the series, being no exception. A great story and the latest in the Kal and Demi saga.
However, who on earth decided this narrator was suitable?
Truly the most boring and monotone narration ever. Unless you hear the title of each chapter, you will have no clue as to who is speaking. Absolutely no difference between one character or another, male or female with the sole exception of "Bev the Rev" depicted by her awful Birmingham accent.
If you have the choice, better you read this book rather than listen.
I will never listen to this narrator again, unless of course she gets an injection of personality!

First half great , second half boring
this started off as a great cost Christmas romance with a lovey heartwarming story and characters, i was totally invested in their story but around two thirds in it felt like the author changed to a different story . It became boring and dragged out and the plot was taken away from the main story . I become totally uninterested and didn't even get to the end . disappointed.

Christmas at the Cornish cafe
A lovely story set in an area of Cornwall near to Penzance where I have visited many times. What a good community it was when help was needed and Christmas wasn’t spoiled and all problems, family and others, resolved.

A story of hidden secrets
I enjoyed the book especially as I had listened to the prequel . However, I found the readers voice to be very monotone and it lacked dynamics.

*Secrets & Revelations*
**3.5 Stars**
This is book 2 in the trilogy. It took me while to read and I must admit for me the first book was more enjoyable but end of the book saved it for me.
It is still told from two different perspectives. You have the brooding Cal who is trying to put a lid on his feelings for anyone let alone Demi, he is guarded and straight talking.
Demi is already in love with him but there is so much that Cal is keeping from her. Their relationship is secret and she is a tough cookie.
They are fast approaching Christmas and want everything to be just right and without incident, what could possibly go wrong? As they continue to shape Kilhallon the old estate that Cal’s late father let go to rack and ruin.
A mysterious writer Kit Bannen arrives to rent a cottage. Cal takes a instant dislike to him, while Demi is intrigued by him. Cal is uneasy in his presence but little does he know there is something they both share…..
As the story moves on we see that someone already knows Cal’s secret and the source is closer to home than he thinks.
Demi is in her element and she is the manager of the newly built cafe Demelza’s named after her and her baking and cooking skills sound mouthwatering
Will Cal’s secret be revealed, will there be consequences, Demi’s past comes back to haunt her and how will things pan out in the last of the trilogy……
At the end of the book there are some recipes too from the cafe

A great story
This book has it all, drama, romance, sorrow and laughter. It is a great continuation of Demi and cals story. I enjoyed it better than summer at the Cornish Cafe.
The only problem I had with the narrator, the character changes between male and female. I often had to rewind 30 seconds to make sure of whoever is speaking. But she is a delight on the ears. Her voice is lovely.
Overall I would recommend this book.
