We are returning to the North York Moors for Eliza J Scott's Sunny Skies and Summer Kisses.
No matter how hard you fight it, love will always find a
way…
Ever since she was a little girl, dance teacher Anoushka
Cartwright has dreamed of opening her own dance studio near her home on her
beloved North Yorkshire Moors. And when she gets the chance to do just that she
can hardly believe her luck!
Life is sweet. Or it would be if it wasn’t for her
relationship with Damon which has been growing increasingly toxic, much to her
family’s concern. Critical of her dreams he can’t understand why she won’t move
to the city of York and live with him. He refuses to accept their relationship
is floundering until the day Anoushka breaks up with him.
Popular indie/folk singer, Gabe Dublin, hails from Southern
Ireland. He’s been head-over-heels in love with Anoushka ever since he first
set eyes on her at a wedding two years earlier. She’s the reason he keeps
returning to the area, staying with his friends, Lady Caroline Hammondely and
her husband Sim, at Danskelfe Castle. Gabe and Anoushka have become good
friends, but she’s always made it clear they could never be anything more,
which is tearing Gabe’s heart in two. He knows he won’t be able to love anyone
else the way he loves Anoushka.
Her family and friends can see how perfect they are for each
other but Anoushka is adamant, after her experience with Damon, she has no room
for a man in her life. She makes a pact with herself to focus all of her
attention on her dance school. And she intends to keep it. The only thing is,
it’s not as easy as it seems.
When an unexpected situation throws them together,
Anoushka’s feelings are exposed for the world to see. The question is, will she
act on them or will she stay true to her promise to herself?
Join Anoushka and Gabe – and all the other Life on the Moors
Characters – for the latest heartwarming visit to the characterful village of
Lytell Stangdale in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors.
My Thoughts
I have enjoyed all the visits to the North York Moors which Eliza J Scott has taken us on and this one was no exception. All the familiar characters are there but this story centres on Anoushka and Gabe. It is a 'will they, won't they?' storyline. The chemistry between the pair is obvious to everyone, (including Bob the Labrador!) but Anoushka is hesitant because of her issues caused by her mother's abandonment of her and also the unpleasant relationship that she has experienced with Damon. She sets out to rebuild her life in the village and fulfil her ambitions.
The love of family and the countryside around Lytell Stangdale shines through the book and there is a real feeling of friendship and community. One or two of the characters add humour. The whole series has offered feelgood reading, with warmth and down to earth common sense.
In short: Can Anoushka take a risk?
