Get swept away to the sparkling Cornish coast with the
stunning new novel from the international million selling author Holly
Martin. Autumn Skies Over Ruby Falls is the perfect romantic treat to snuggle up with this autumn.
Clover
Philips is exactly where she’s meant to be – back home on Jewel Island
teaching dance to the guests at the beautiful Sapphire Bay Hotel that
she co-owns with her sisters Skye and Aria. Her life is complete, except
for one thing…
When Clover left London she also left behind a
devastating betrayal. She hasn’t been able to date anyone since, let
alone allow herself to fall in love. What she needs is a casual fling to
ease herself back into romance. And as luck would have it, the very
handsome Angel Mazzeo is back in town.
The chemistry between
Clover and Angel has been undeniable ever since Angel first arrived on
Jewel Island six months ago. And though content to be her friend till
now, Angel is more than willing to help Clover find her dating feet
again.
It should be easy to keep things carefree when love is
off the table, but when every moment is magical what started as casual
soon becomes something much deeper. Will Clover and Angel find the
courage to tell each other how they really feel? And is Clover ready to
do the one thing she swore she’d never do again, fall in love?
Perfect
for fans of Jill Mansell, Sarah Morgan and Sophie Kinsella, this
unforgettable romance is guaranteed to make you smile and melt your
heart.
My Thoughts
This is a lovely follow-up to Sunrise over Sapphire Bay which introduced the hotel on Jewel Island. It is a great setting and in this latest novel you get to see how Aria and Noah's plans for the community are working out. All three of the sisters, Aria, Clover and Skye are an interesting contrast to each other and they all have their own strong back stories to explore. Clover takes centre stage in this instalment and her friendship with Angel. They are both such likeable characters and you come to realise that Clover's issues are deep seated and not easily solved.
This is a warm and enjoyable story which welcomes you in and keeps you hooked. Family and friendship are both important and there are enough clues to make you suspect that maybe Skye might have her own story- I do hope so. There are also changes for Aria and Noah which are on the horizon. I enjoyed Holly's writing style which is fluent and easy to read.
In short: A fun read with some great characters.
About the Author
Holly lives in a little white cottage by the sea. She
studied media at university which led to a very glitzy career as a hotel
receptionist followed by a even more glamorous two years working in a bank. The
moment that one of her colleagues received the much coveted carriage clock for
fifteen years’ service was the moment when she knew she had to escape. She quit
her job and returned to university to train to be a teacher. Three years later,
she emerged wide eyed and terrified that she now had responsibility for the
development of thirty young minds. She taught for four years and then escaped
the classroom to teach history workshops, dressing up as a Viking one day and
an Egyptian High Priestess the next. But the long journeys around the UK and
many hours sat on the M25 gave her a lot of time to plan out her stories and
she now writes full time, doing what she loves.
Holly has been writing for 8 years. She was shortlisted for
the New Talent Award at the Festival of Romance. Her short story won the
Sunlounger competition and was published in the Sunlounger anthology. She won
