Once again, Phillipa Ashley has crafted another fabulous 'Cornish' fiction book. It is full of life, love, and romance as well as all things Cornwall! A superb book which is a sure winner of a summer read!

This was my fist Phillipa Ashley read - but it won't be my last! This was an immediately intriguing read which had me very quickly invested in the main character. I thoroughly enjoyed following Rose's journey to Cornwall and meeting the people in Falford. The storyline was interesting, fun, and relatable. I also enjoyed Ashley's writing style and found it easy to read and absorb. I'd recommend both the author and this book.

This was a gorgeous summery escape to cornwall. Phillipa had me feeling that I was right there with the characters. Highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of An Endless Cornish Summer by Phillipa Ashley. It was the first book by this author but the title made me want to escape to Cornwall it was a great read and I’m on the look out for more books by this author

Great escapism by the sea

Rose has overcome a life threatening illness and is making the most of life, she takes a job in Cornwall, to possibly find the man that saved her life, where she fully immerses herself into the community becoming involved in the Falford Regatta and meeting the handsome Morvah brothers, one of which could be the one who saved her.
Listening to some Cornish myths and legends, learning how to sail and spending lazy afternoons by the water, what more could you wish for?
Maybe your own happy ever after?

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. This story was okay. To me it was a bit unrealistic. Also a light and easy read.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book as it took me on a wonderful and vivid journey to cornwall and its stunning surroundings. A rather emotive read with a delicate subject which I thought was handled beautifully. My thanks to netgalley an erc of this book in return for my honest opinion!

Loved this book - an easy read, the perfect book to curl up with and enjoy some escapism with.

I loved the setting (hello, anything to do with the Cornwall), the characters and the overall warmth and depth to this story.

I could almost hear the waves crashing and feel the sand between my toes as I flew through this heart-warming, romantic story.

Another winner by Phillipa Ashley! Love these stories and the characters, always easy to read. A nice break from my usual crime thrillers.

An easy read with some scenes that had poignant issues.
This had the author's classic style of descriptive writing
slightly slow for me, but I got to know the characters.
Overall, an enjoyable read

I want to start off by saying the copy from netgalley is riddled with typos, wrong character names in places and really poorly edited. I hope that this was just an advanced reader copy we received and not the edited and published novel.
Another lovely adventure in Cornwall with some lovely characters, local history, myths, folklore and more.
I really enjoyed the historical points, I think the story of excalibur is fascinating so I loved having this and other Cornish mysteries being a huge part of the tale. There was clearly a lot of knowledge went into writing this.
Same with the parts where Rose was learning to sail, the author clearly did her research and I found it really interesting.
Great characters, a lovely sweet romance, a beautiful setting.
Great read I would definitely recommend.

I have read and enjoyed many of Phillipa Ashley's previous books - which I can highly recommend, so I was looking forward to this one. I wasn't disappointed. A lovely romance story set in beautiful Cornwall.

I loved the setting, the plot was well paced with twists and turns to keep me interested throughout. I engaged with the main character Rose and her quest to find her donor. This is the perfect holiday read or for a cosy winter afternoon on the sofa with a cuppa and some chocolate.

I am looking forward to reading the next one...

Highly recommended

This was a lovely book a really nice easy read.

Rose works as an archaeologist for a University and has come to Cornwall for the summer to help with the digs round the area s she is charge of them. She get involved in the village with the people and events and makes new friends.

The book had romance of course and a bit of twist which was really good.

I read this book courtesy of NetGalley. A comforting read exuding warmth and a feel good factor to escape with. Set in an idyllic Cornish coastal village full of delightful local characters creating a true community spirit away from the tourists. Liberally sprinkled with a touch of humour thrown in with an emphasis on life on a picturesque river estuary loosely based near Falmouth. There are some serious issues addressed plus the usual round of misunderstandings but a brilliant summer/holiday book to sit back and relax with.

Enjoyed my visit to Cornwall. A sad start to the book but enjoyed how Rose became part of the community and helped her new friends.
Looking forward to reading the Christmas book

I loved reading this, it's set in my favourite place Cornwall. A well written story that is full of twists. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Cornwall at it's best in the summer. As the quest to find the anonymous donor unfolds how can two wonderful baotbuiders, an archiologist and a local who runs a gift shop filled with pixies etc hope to find the answer and maybe love. A truly delightful read
