****4 stars
I know that I have said this before but I adore Jill Mansell books, you are always able to sink your teeth into them immediately. This book was another great read by this author, it has a wonderful plot with lots of twists and turns throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed.
Book Jacket Summary:
In the idyllic seaside town of St Carys, Sophie is putting the past firmly behind her.
When Josh arrives in St Carys to run the family hotel, he can't understand why Sophie has zero interest in letting any man into her life. He also can't understand how he's been duped into employing Sophie's impulsive friend Tula, whose crush on him is decidedly unrequited.
St Carys has more than its fair share of characters, including the charming but utterly feckless surfer Riley Bryant, who has a massive crush on Tula. Riley's aunt is superstar author Marguerite Marshall. And Marguerite has designs on Josh's grandfather...who in turn still adores his glamorous ex-wife, Dot...
Just how many secrets can one seaside town keep?

The Best Thing I Never Had by Erin Lawless
***** 5 stars
Wonderful read! You will find yourself pulled in immediately and won't want to put it down. I even found myself frustrated at time with certain characters, that's how sucked in you get. lol. A must read.
Book Jacket Summary:
Five years ago at university they had been seven friends that laughed hard and loved harder.
Nicky and Miles were the couple that were always meant to be… Leigha and Adam, not so much…
So when Adam and Harriet grew close during endless days in the library, they did the one thing that changed everything – they kept a secret. And when it came out, it all fell apart.
When the day comes for bridesmaids to be chosen and best men to fulfil drunken promises, Nicky and Miles’ wedding isn’t just a wedding, it’s a reunion – loaded with past hurts, past regrets, past loves…
The Best Thing I Never Had is in turns funny and sad, but always honest, about friendship in all its forms and the practicality of second chances.
If you fell in love with Mhairi McFarlane’s You Had Me at Hello and David Nicholls’ One Day, then this stunning debut book is for you.

Escape for the Summer by Ruth Saberton
*****5 stars
I love Ruth Saberton's books. When I saw this book on Amazon and all the wonderful reviews, I knew it was just what I needed for a great escape. I truly loved the characters, although Angel took me a bit to warm to. Please don't miss out on this book, you'll definitely enjoy :)
Book Jacket Summary:

Andi's sister, Angel, is determined to find a man who can keep her in style. Heading to Rock, summer playground of the rich and famous, seems an inspired idea until a misunderstanding threatens to end a romance that has started to mean more to her than she ever expected...
Actress Gemma is no stranger to diets and disappointments. As the future of her career hangs in the balance, Gemma hopes a summer in Cornwall solves her problems. With a reality TV show being filmed in the seaside town surely she can avoid the pasty shops and win herself a role.
