Jill's Mansell's heart-warming new book is the feel-good novel of 2020. A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family in need of loving care, a woman who's had enough of romance - or has she? Not to be missed by readers of Katie Fforde and Millie Johnson.
When Lainey's latest romance goes pear-shaped - she thought it was for ever; he thought it was just for now - she decides enough is enough. Whoever said it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all really didn't know what they were talking about. And so, when she starts her new job helping out a chaotic family in Cornwall, she is definitely Not Interested in her boss's step-son Seth, however attractive he might be (that's Very Attractive, as it happens). Especially as Seth has a perfectly delightful girlfriend. But Lainey hasn't been entirely honest about her life, and Seth's not quite what he seems either. When everyone has something to hide, it's complicated! And yet love does have a habit of finding a way...
I knew from the synopsis that I would absolutely fall in love with this book. I did not, however, know just how well it would be written and how quickly I’d get through it.
This story was so much more than meets-the-eye. It wasn’t just one love story; there were several. On top of that, one that wasn’t even romantic, but familial and so fulfilling!
Jill Mansell is a new-to-me author and I can’t wait to read more from her!
