A fresh start among old friends…
Florence May never expected to trade the high life of London for the cosy comfort of a beach hut in her Cornish hometown, but the moment she steps inside she knows it was the best choice she ever made. The fact that it comes with a requirement that she sets up a business on site? A minor setback that’s easily fixed by opening up a surfside outpost of her friend Clemmie’s Little Cornish Kitchen …
where Floss finds herself unexpectedly flourishing.
And when the hotel owner next door sets out to buy the land out from under her? Floss calls on her loyal friends to help her save her little slice of heaven. Because if there’s one thing the community of St Aidan does well, it’s banding together to make the most of every second, whatever life throws at you.

I write fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines, and lots of heart.
Writing is fab, because I get to wear pretty shoes instead of wellies. I live in a cottage up a mountain road in Derbyshire, where my family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos.
Happily, we’re in walking distance of a supermarket. I love hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things French. When I’m not on Facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, I’ll be
walking, or gardening. On days when I want to be really scared, I ride a tandem.

My thoughts: this was a fun, charming rom com set in Cornwall (my spiritual and ancestral home) where Florence retreats to her childhood home after a break up and a career flop. She’s bought a beach hut in a very desirable spot on the beach.
There’s a new hotel and spa right next door, which the locals are not entirely enraptured by. However there are some very eye catching employees.
As Florence sets up a mini branch of her friend’s bakery on the shore, along with rather wary dog Shadow (he is really not comfortable with the context of the ocean and its moving in and out), her baking and unusual dessert combos get her a huge crowd of fans and closer to hunky metalsmith Kit. Will romance blossom?
This is a perfect summer read, it’s got a great cast of characters, a cute story and the HEA we all need sometimes.
