Synopsis

Summer is on the horizon, and the people of Porthmellow are eagerly awaiting the annual food festival. At least, most of them are… Authors love Phillipa Ashley’s books… For Sam Lovell, organising the summer festival in her hometown is one of the highlights of her year. It’s not always smooth sailing, but she loves to see Porthmellow’s harbour packed with happy visitors, and being on the committee has provided a much-needed distraction from the drama in her family life (and the distinct lack of it in her love life). When their star guest pulls out with only a few weeks to go, everyone’s delighted when a London chef who grew up locally steps in at the last minute. But Gabe Matthias is the last person Sam was expecting to see, and his return to Porthmellow will change her quiet coastal life for ever. If you loved , don’t miss and ! ‘Warm and funny and feel-good. The best sort of holiday read’ ‘Filled with warm and likeable characters. Great fun!’ ‘A delicious festive treat with as many twists and turns as a Cornish country lane’ ‘An utterly glorious, escapist read from a one of the freshest voices to emerge in women's fiction today. I loved every gorgeous page’ ‘Deliciously entertaining’

The chef they had booked s......more

Whenever I pick up a Philippa Ashley book I know I’m guaranteed a cozy read. This one was up there with the others. Set in Cornwall which is a place I love very much this was a “must read” for me. The descriptions of the little narrow streets made me think of the lovely little villages around the co......more
