Or, if you’re currently in the middle of winter, snuggle up by the fire with a cup of cocoa and dream of warmer days! With the support of her mother and her grandmother, she’s slowly rebuilding her confidence and learning to trust again. Learning about how to roast coffee beans was fascinating and I swear I could smell the coffee whilst reading.

Although very polite and friendly Eden finds it very strange that he hardly ever tells them anything about himself. Eden is wary of love and although Levan is extremely good looking and charismatic, she needs to keep him at arms length.

Gloriously uplifting and unashamedly warm-hearted' - Bestselling author FAITH HOGAN 'A lovely, summery read full of secrets and hope' - Bestselling author JO THOMAS An unforgettable tale of romance, humour and heart set against the stunning backdrop of the Cornish coast, from the Sunday Times bestseller.

Iris for sure was my favourite character, especially the scene with Eden, Levan, and Simon, in her cottage.The confrontation wasn't as final, and I could easily imagine Simon coming back, but he's a complete slimeball. I am fascinated by lighthouses and this book gave a beautifully romantic story along with some wonderfully interesting themes including the lighthouse workers and the secret service. I received a free copy of, A Secret Cornish Summer, by Phillipa Ashley, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. A heart-warming read full of sun, sea, friendship and romance perfect for fans of SARAH MORGAN and TRISHA ASHLEY. I understand that Eden was scarred by her past and has major trust issues but I can't understand what her major issue was when Levan reveals his secret - he didn't lie about it, just left it until Eden was able to know him well enough to open up.
