I am delighted to feature Della Galton's romance, Sunshine over Bluebell Cliff which was published by Boldwood Books on 29th April.
'Utterly uplifting, pure escapism - a perfect summer read' Trisha Ashley
A
place to make your dreams come true...Clara King is left in sole charge
of a fabulous new cliff top hotel for the summer. The owner has barely
left the country when Clara realises that someone is hell bent on
putting the Bluebell Cliff Hotel out of business.
It becomes a race against time to hunt down the sneaky saboteur before they succeed in bringing the hotel to its knees.
With her dream job under threat and her personal life in chaos, Clara discovers that, when what you love the most is in danger, it can bring out the very best in you.
My Thoughts
I loved escaping to the coast to the idyllic hotel at Bluebell Cliff with its range of sometimes quirky characters and its strong central characters. Clara made me laugh at times, especially when she took refuge behind her garden shed. Her reactions were often so down to earth and unpretentious. This is a book which explores family values and took a look at the difficulties which even the longest of marriages can get into. You feel like you are looking at people, faults and all.
On top of the romance which is slow burning, there is also a mystery to unravel. With a well written and fluent style, the story takes you by the hand. I thoroughly enjoyed it and there are no loose ends at the end. You get to find out what happens next for everyone. It would be lovely to visit the hotel again, but it can be read as a standalone.
In short: Romance and mystery add up to a heartwarming escapist read.
