Under a Summer Skye by Sue Moorcroft #Review #Giveaway #TheSkyeSistersTrilogyBook1
I am thrilled to be joining in the celebrations for the publication of the first in a new series by Sue Moorcroft. Under a Summer Skye was published on May 9th by Avon. I also have a great giveaway to win a signed copy. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.
A Scottish island. A stranger from the mainland. A summer of
possibilities…
Escape to the Isle of Skye this summer with the Sunday Times bestselling author, and lose yourself in the first book of the Skye Sisters Trilogy.
A chance encounter is about to change everything for Thea Wynter.
The moment she arrived on the Isle of Skye, life changed for Thea. Running from a succession of wrong turns, she comes to the island in search of blue sea, endless skies, and mountains that make the heart soar. Here, she feels at peace.
As head gardener at Rothach Hall, life is exactly how she wants it, with her days spent working in the glorious clifftop garden and her evenings in the cosy village pub.
But an encounter with a stranger from the mainland brings with it an unexpected turn – and she is left wondering whether he is friend or foe.
It seems that even on Skye, life can catch up with you, and Thea is soon faced with the past she left behind – and with it, the family she’s never met…
From old lives to new beginnings, lose yourself on the beautiful Isle of Skye with Thea as she discovers how many possibilities life can truly hold if you look hard enough.
My Thoughts
I found this to be a superb, escapist read and have high hopes for the rest of the series. Set on the Isle of Skye, you have all the romance of the setting and in fact the grounds where Thea works are a presence in the story and somewhere where she has escaped to. Thea is a woman with some secrets which she has buried in her past and which she does not want to be unearthed. It seems she is not the only person with secrets and this leads to a few surprises.
I loved Thea's relationships with her siblings who I am sure will feature in the rest of the trilogy. Reinventing yourself and starting again are pretty important aspects of the story. Family is under the microscope and Thea's adoption as a child makes this complicated. There are some lovely humorous parts, mainly provided by Thea's gorgeous dog, Daisy and enough supporting characters to add variety and colour.
In short highly recommended
