We're heading back to Cornwall for Linn B Halton's Coming Home to Penvennan Cove which will be published by Aria on October 8th.
Can Kerra's Cornish hometown offer the fresh start she
needs?
When Kerra left the quiet Cornish town of PenvennanCove for the bright
lights of London she didn't look back. But after the death of her mother, she's
decided it's time to face her past and return to the place she called home. Her
father needs her, and perhaps she needs him more than she's willing to
admit?
Tackling town gossip, home renovations and a flame from her past, it's
not quite smooth sailing for Kerra. Ross is the bad boy she was meant to
forget, not a man who still sets her heart aflutter. As he helps bring her
dream home to life, they begin to break down the barriers that have been
holding them back and in the process learn things about themselves they never
thought possible.
As friends old and new come together, the future in Penvennan
looks bright.
Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, PhillipaAshley and Julie
Houston.
My Thoughts
The main character in this novel is easy to like and relatable. You get to find out quite a bit about Kerra as the story enfolds and you can see that the girl she was when she lived at Penvennan Cove moulded the woman she has become. She has a firm hold on what she now wants to do and what is important in life to her. She is quite determined not to let anyone into her life who cannot be trusted. She is also shown to be fiercely loyal to those she trusts and a great sense of looking out for her family and friends.
I found Ross to be much harder to get to know. He seems to be quite guarded and self contained but through his actions, you come to realise his good points. This is very much a 'starting again' novel with the message that it is never too late for a second chance. The setting is gorgeous and I must say Kerra's vision for her cottage sounds amazing. As the community comes together and more than one person gets a second chance to shine, the story blossoms like an endearing, feelgood friend.
In short: It's never too late...
