A small Cornish village - a couple of good looking guys and a hunt for an organ donor and a story of love. You will love this book.

What a great book. It was so gripping and unique from the beginning.
Rose’s story was sad but it was great to read a book dinner follow the usual formula.
I really enjoyed the friendships in this book and was glad that her and Joey became such good friends.
Finn and Rose’s attraction was like kismet calling and it was lovely to see their friendship growing.
This honest review was in exchange of a free arc provided by netgalley.

I really wanted to like this book, but just couldn't get into it. It felt very cheesy and overdone.. Lovely setting, but I ultimately wasn't very invested.

Loved everything about this book. How a life changing gift by someone could take you on a journey to find them and find true love. Such a great romantic read.

An exceptionally well written book about Rose and her journey after she received a life threatening health problem and how she recovers, and how her life develops after the death of her grandmother.. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it brought to the surface how receiving a donor can literally change your life and in some cases open other doors for you,when you least expect it.

Rose moves to a picturesque Cornish village after learning the donor who saved her life may live there. With a new lease of life but also mourning the loss of her grandmother, will she heal and find the generous person that saved her?
A lovely story drawing attention to an important topic of bone marrow donation.
Rose not being the typical soft and well put together main character helped you warm to her. With a slight edge and a quirky nature, she seemed very real and I really enjoyed the change to the shops and run of the mill occupations the characters usually pursue in this genre.
The plot was not as straightforward as first thought, which was a very welcome surprise.
I especially loved reading about the sailing aspects and the gorgeous Cornish myths and folklore stories that are woven into the book.
A charming quirky read, perfect for anyone that loves Cornwall and gorgeous stories.

A summer novel from Phillipa Ashley is as essential and delicious as chips by the beach and this year's offering does not disappoint. In a world where Covid 19 does not exist (thank the Lord!), we meet Rose, who is also valuing every day she has after her life was saved by a mysterious stem cell donor. Through a few detective skills, she tracks her possible donors down to a village in the exceptionally beautiful Cornwall where she happens to have work. This is not just a love story, but it looks at the importance of appreciating what you have. As ever we meet some colorful characters who bring alive village life and make you want to pack everything up and move to Cornwall. Ashley’s books are so well researched and address different topics each time which makes the books very readable. This is certainly a book to pack this summer, wherever you may be going!

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy in return for an honest review.

Rose has a secret. A secret she needs to uncover the truth of. . A postcard from Cornwall is the only clue she has. Which is why she is now down on Cornwall, ostensibly n an archeological dig, but I. Reality she is chasing that clue. The view from her temporary accommodation brings her closer to unravelling the truth.

I really enjoyed this novel. It is obvious the author put in a lot of research into sailing, boat making, archaeology and the myths and legends of Cornwall before writing. It was fascinating to say the least to learn more about the subjects.

I highly recommend this book to all.

This tells the story of archeologist Rose, taking a temporary job in Cornwall after recovering from a serious illness. She is nervous, but feels it is something she needs to do for various reasons (I won't spoil the story). She makes good friends along the way, including boat builder brothers Finn and Joey. Such a lovely range of characters, all lovable in their own way - with the exception of Nigel!!! A really heartwarming and moving read....

This book reads like your own little holiday on the Cornish seaside coast! I had to cancel a trip to England and to Cornwall due to the pandemic and when I saw this book's cover and read the description, I thought maybe this would help me over my disappointment.
Rose is trying to move on with her life. She has suffered a life threatening disease and was saved by an anonymous bone marrow donor. Rose thinks she'd like to thank her donor but she'll have to find him first.
She journeys,down a trail of clues, to the small fishing village of Falford, where she is drawn into village life of fishing, boats and sailing on this beautiful coast. She meets two brothers, the Morvah boys and other quirky and charming villagers who begin to populate her days.
What results is a warm, touching, and funny romantic story about finding love and an unexpected life in a magical place.

I feel like escaping to the seaside myself after reading this book and being in lockdown so long! The plot is excellent and I was kept guessing until the end. I thought I'd worked it out and then there was a twist...which I loved and never saw coming!
Thoroughly recommended.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC to review.

I love all of Phillipa Ashley's books I have read so was so pleased to get this book. I was hooked straight away and loved the chance of a trip to Cornwall via this story.

It was great to get to know Rose and her story. Rose is a determined intelligent lady who is on a mission. Along the way it was great to ready about the quirky characters from the lovely fishing village.. It was like a hug in a book and I enjoyed the escapism of the story having not been able to travel for so long. As usual with Phillipa's stories you feel like you are in Cornwall and getting to know the characters was so lovely.

Just when you think you know what is going to happen the story takes an unexpected twist. I was sorry to get to the end and would love to read more about Falford.

Look forward to the next book.

A brilliant novel which highlights how we should appreciate life and never take anything for granted. Get wrapped up in the local village life and the regatta; new found friends and romance in the air. For a great staycation take this book and transport yourself to the Cornish Seaside.

You can never go wrong with a Phillipa Ashley novel and this did not disappoint. The cover is also fitting for the story.

Another wonderful read from Phillipa Astley. Thoroughly enjoyed this tale set in beautiful Cornwall. Definitely one to curl up on the sofa with

Once again I felt like I’ve had a long holiday in Cornwall ! Such believable characters from the warmth and intelligence of Rose to the enigmatic moody Finn offset by the comical and quirky Oriel who’s character development was so believable and heartwarming, that you rooted for her and loved the strong bond and friendship between her and Rose! Nice to see a lesbian relationship in the book which in rom com is refreshing! Loved the references into archaeology of the area and legends and myths both enlightening and showed lots of research! A well written engaging story that had you almost smelling the aroma of wood in the boathouse, feeling the sea spray of the wild Cornish coast but also took on the serious subject of stem cell donation! That’s to Net-galley and Avon books for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

“An Endless Cornish Summer” by Phillipa Ashley is a true feel good novel. It is just such a sweet and heartwarming story. You can not help but feel absolutely amazing after having read this book.

Rose Vernon has a very special mission, and it is not by accident, that she ended up in Cornish village. She just survived a life-threatening illness, and she is over the moon by her anonymous donor. She wants nothing more than to thank him in person, so she does everything she can to figure out who this mystery man is. But it might be harder than she first thought.

The descriptions are incredible. The descriptions of Cornwall are especially beautiful, as it is such an incredible setting. Phillipa Ashley has a special way of describing landscape, and it works perfectly!

The characters are very likeable. I loved Rose's character and how she is eager to find her donor. She has a lot of emotions, and you can feel them all the way out of the paper.

There is not much drama or intricate storylines in the book, which makes it easy to read on the go, and which makes it a wonderful read. It will make you feel warm inside to read this book.

I also have to mention the fact that this whole book is based upon donors and stem-cell donors. It is a great way to help other people in need, and as this book shows, people are very appreciative. So it might be something to consider, to become a donor.

Such an enjoyable read!! Dr Rose Vernon, an archaeologist, is all set to start g excavating at a new site in

beautiful Cornwall. She feels ready to take on this challenge after several years of debilitating illness and

recovery which was all made possible by an anonymous donor.. The donor is also in Cornwall., one of two

boat building brothers. Rose tries to unravel who is is her saviour and maybe find romance along the way..

Her quest is dramatic. . We share all the tension, secrets and love. in this compassionate and uplifting story.

I loved it.

Charming, sweet, perfect read for the summer. A small community, sailing, secrets, saved lives, archaeology, love... All of this intertwined together creates the ideal book to pack in your bag on your next trip.

It's easy to go through, the writing flows really smoothly. Chapters aren't too long, so it's easy to pick up and leave it when necessary.

I like Phillipa's writing. It's not pretentious, it's purposeful, and she knows how to create an atmosphere and set up a great, unique setting.

I do wish there was more romance here, I was craving more Rose & Finn moments especially in the first half.

Overall, a cute, fun, light read for the warmer days ahead of us.

After the death of her beloved grandmother, archeologist Rose is given a letter which persuades her to find the person who, quite literally, saved her life. Leading her to the coast of Cornwall where she has been given the opportunity to do some research for her job, along with some personal research into who gave her the life saving donation.

With a touch of romance, Cornish mythology and a wonderful cast of characters, Phillipa Ashley brings Falford to life. I hope to read more about this little costal village.
