I am delighted to feature an author who is new to me, Joy Skye. Her latest novel in her Sublime Retreats Romances series, Summer in San Sebastian, is published today.
Abigail’s world has disintegrated, leaving her jobless,
homeless, and loveless in a remarkably brief space of time.
Where else can she lick her wounds but in Spain with her
dippy Aunt May. She pulls on her big girl pants, swears off men and leaps on
the opportunity she’s offered in San Sebastian. Determined to get her life back
on track and find her place in the world, it finally all seems to be coming
together.
Until she meets Gabe. Gorgeous, grumpy, incredibly annoying,
and obviously hiding a secret, but she has to battle against the insane
attraction she has for him. He’s only there for a week, after all.
When his secret spills out on National TV, can she overcome
her past hurts and learn to trust again, risking her new found job and family
in the process?
My Thoughts
This is a truly escapist read which whisks you off to San Sebastian, to all the sun, sea and romance that you'd expect to find here. Abigail certainly goes there to lick her wounds and to try to put her life back together. Her Aunt May is a gorgeous, lively character, full of artistic flair and kindness. She is just what Abigail needs at this stage in her life. Estranged from her father, Abigail has to re-evaluate her feelings towards him and learn to trust again. It seems her relationship with her father has influenced her feelings about men in general.
Gabe is certainly dynamic but you sense that there is more to him than the polished front he puts on. In some ways, he is ready to also take a fresh look at what he wants for his future. He too has trust issues which he has brought from his childhood. An ideal holiday read, this is a gentle romance which will please those looking for a romantic story.
In short: gentle romance set in the Basque country
