I love all things Cornish and this didn’t disappoint. Set around the village of Falford, a Cornish fishing village, the heroine- Rose- settles into the community whilst working as an archaeologist in the area. However, she is also on a duel mission to track down the donor whose stem cell donation saved her life and the two handsome Morvah brothers are prime candidates.
I loved the focus on developing relationships- not just romantic ones but genuine friendships in this book. The bond between the main characters was strong and thought provoking. It really gives you an insight into the impact of transplants- on both recipients and donors.
Another thing I loved was the myths and legends and found myself more than once looking up some of the stories mentioned. Oriel was my favourite character and I was so pleased at the outcome for her. The focus on the regatta also got me longing for a time when big parades and fetes can happen again.
Overall a fantastic read but it did make me long for a cream tea and an ice cream.

This was a light, breezy, enjoyable read about Rose, an archaeologist who visits a small English seaside village to do work at a dig site, but also to find the donor who helped save her life. I found the donor storyline completely unnecessary. Most of the story was focused on Rose's life and adventures in the town and falling in love, but I didn't like the donor portions. The ending was REALLY rushed and felt like it wrapped it up way too neatly. I would have rated it 5 stars if the donor storyline was removed - it would have improved the book greatly. Overall it was a nice peaceful read and perfect escapism for when the world is a dumpster fire. I will most likely search out the authors' other works.

I've picked up a few of of Phillipa Ashley's books over the years and always have enjoyed her books, especially for how beautifully she paints a picture of the settings! An Endless Cornish Summer is another novel where she really excels at bringing Cornwall to life!

This novel follows Rose who has ended up in Cornwall to find the man who donated his marrow to save her life. It's one of two men who are brothers and she spends time getting to know them and wanting to figure out which was The One who changed her life forever. While there she ends up finding that she loves the village and finds her place in the community.

Overall I really enjoyed this story but felt that it drug on a bit. I would read a story just about Oriel though, she was a GEM. The ending seemed a bit rushed compared to the rest of the story. I did enjoy it though and it was a nice escape!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for an eARC copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This is a pleasant story, set in my home county of Cornwall. Rose, an archeologist, has received a bone marrow donation for her aplastic anaemia, and is determined to find the donor. I dont think I would want to.
She is accepted on a dig and bases herself, after some research, in a little seaside village where she is sure she will find the donor, maybe one of the Morvah brothers.
It is a nice light read, and I thank NetGalley for the chance to review the book.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It was beautifully written and the characters were all really interesting. Rose's adventure to Falford to find her donor led to a lovely story of romance with its twists and turns and friendships made. A heartwarming tale of love and adventure,

I loved this book. Set in beautiful Cornwall, we follow the story of Rose and her reasons for taking up an archaeological dig over the summer holidays down near Fulford, a place you feel you want to visit. Certainly a book not to be missed.

Another enjoyable story with a great Cornish vibe. Sun, sea, the river, boats and two handsome brothers. Ideal summer reading.

I received this book for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

A great summer day trade. Not overly complicated but a great escape read.

A great summer read with UK holiday vibes with a hint of archaeology. This story, focusing on Rose (an archaeologist who has suffered from aplastic anaemia and has received a bone marrow donation from an unknown donor) has many twists and turns, from summer romance and learning to sail to Cornish magick and legends!

An interesting read about Rose who is determine to look for the donor who has given her a second chance to live on. Rose, an archaeologist, found herself come in between Finn and Joey, one of them who could be the person she is looking for. Both brothers obviously have unresolved conflict between them and with Rose’s presence, it make it even worst for the bothers. I was immerse with how Rose gonna find which brother was the one who donated the stem cell for her and also the attraction that she felt for Finn even though Finn is maintaining his distance. I was surprise with the ending though.

I really wish that I could give this more than five stars, as this is one of those rare books that you cannot wait to finish but, when you reach the last page you feel sad that it is over. I loved the setting, the characters, the relationships between the characters but, most of all I loved the optimism of Rose - the main character. She has had a very difficult few years but, instead of letting her illness and past define her she is a beacon of hope and joy. I read for pleasure and enjoyment and this book gave me both. It made me think about enjoying the moment and being grateful for what we have. During the pandemic I think we all need a little escape from reality now and again and this gives you that in such a wonderful way.

A gentle escape to Cornwall to follow Rose's quest to find her stem cell donor, a beautiful story of new found friendships and love with a perfect mix of sailing and history added in, absolutely loved this book and I'm a sucker for a happy ending which this book does have

I really enjoyed this book, which went a bit deeper into the background of sailing and archaeology as well as giving a lovely portrait of a Cornish village, complete with hunky boatyard brothers and interesting characters. I loved the sense of community and also the diversity, back again here, with LGBTQ characters and enough ethnic diversity to make things representative without shoehorning in issues. I'll look forward to more in this series!

My review on my blog here: https://librofulltime.wordpress.com/2021/04/03/book-review-phillipa-ashley-an-endless-cornish-summer/

A nice escape. We follow the story of an archeologist who spends the summer in a small coastal village both for work and to look for her blood marrow donor. I enjoyed the few hours vacation to Cornwall.

I love this authors books so I was looking forward to reading this. This was a beautifully and sensitively written book that also sought to highlight the issue of stem cell donation and what it’s like to live with a long term health condition. This book was like total escapism and the descriptions of the Cornish coast made the reader feel like they had been transported to sunnier climes and I felt like I was there on the Cornish beaches. this was an uplifting and thought provoking read.

Perfect gentle escapism set in beautiful Cornwall. Enjoyable story and would be a perfect read sitting on a Cornish beach! Thank you

Charming and escapist, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Heidi Swain. A recommended purchase for collections where light WF is popular.

Rose is in Falford for work, but also to try and hunt down the person she thinks gave her bone marrow transplant several years ago. Some great characters in a great setting - hopefully there will be more books set in Falford.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s lovely to be back in Cornwall again. Genuinely feels like you’ve got to know the characters (I love Oriel the best), and such an important message about living life to the full, especially in our current circumstances.
Lots of interesting historical information about Cornwall. I’d definitely go on a Cornish Magick tour!

Transported back to Cornwall was a delight and all Phillipa Ashley fans will relate to that. I did find Rose going there to find her bone marrow donor a bit unbelievable as finding your donor is very difficult but if it gets people to sign onto the register then that is great. As for the rest of the plot and characters, they were all brought together wonderfully. Rose getting involved in village life as well as falling in love with the handsome man in the village and eventually staying was well described and you could loose yourself in the village. My only criticism was that there was quite a lot of spelling mistakes, please proof read better.
