Sweet story with setting that also was character. Very well written and heartwarming. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher!

I liked the concept of this one but sadly I just couldn't fully connect with the writing style... The romance didn't really feel believable to me. But maybe that's just me.

Kat has been unlucky in love and when an opportunity arose to spend a few months in Cornwall illustrating a book, she grabs it with both hands. She is intrigued by a man she keeps seeing wherever she goes. Such an easy, gentle book but perhaps a bit too gentle and the only altercation was when some chancer tried to pinch Kat’s parking spot! I loved all the descriptions of the scenery, places and the historical snippets of which there were many. The writing style was reminiscent of Elizabeth Goudge who had a wonderful way with words, making it seem as if the reader was also there with the characters. I wish it hadn’t just finished so abruptly leaving a few characters in limbo. But it was a lovely story and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
This is the first book I have read by this author and the plot appealed to me: a seaside setting and a romance. I found the author's narrative style unusual, using the present tense made it feel like a blow-by-blow account rather than engaging me in Kat's thoughts, emotions and activities. There was emphasis on her 'gift', an ability to visualise how a building looked in its historical past, but I didn't like the way this was written in italics very time it was referred to, and this was used for other words on occasions, such as Mac's name, without any apparent reason. I disliked the minute detail used for describing activities, and by 30% through the book it felt as though I was reading a tourist guide which gave me every single step of a journey to follow and a complete history of a building. If you like the area you might find this interesting but it wasn't for me.

I’m a couple hours in & struggling to connect with the story. I’ve had to put it down as a ‘not right now’.

This was such a gorgeous read, taking me to Cornwall for a few days!
I loved everything about it, the characters, the setting and the story. I’d been to the area it was set in on holiday before the pandemic, so I was able to visualise most of the places mentioned, which really added to my reading experience.
I really liked Kat, but was very wary of Mac! Who was this handsome guy with so many different women at his side? Why did every one love him so much? Kat was intrigued and attracted to him, but so reticent to get close to him, after having her heart broken by her last lying boyfriend!
I loved how her life in Cornwall gave her a new spark, making her more adventurous and enabling her artistic ‘gift’ to flow more freely as she worked. The stories behind the properties she visited for her job made me want to go back to Cornwall again and seek them out for myself.
I don’t normally enjoy slow burn romances, but this worked really well for me as the relationship between Kat and Mac’s deepened. It felt very natural which made it more enjoyable for me. This is the second book I’ve loved by Kate Ryder, and I’ll definitely be reading more.
Highly recommended if you enjoy gentle romances, especially if they’re set in Cornwall.

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

Into A Cornish Wind by Kate Ryder

Kat Maddox has had her fair amounts of terrible relationships. And, after discovering that her latest boyfriend has been hiding an entire other life from her, it is c time for a fresh start.

A lovely romantic novel, which takes place one the Cornish coastline. The details and descriptions of the castles and manors was very interesting. A good base of characters. I enjoyed this novel.

A. very good romantic book and very interesting to read of the area a well written book.

Kat ends up in Fowey to illustrate places for an book and the wonderful area around there.. Kat keeps bumping into Mac who seems to have different woman each time she sees him. An friendship develops between them. It was different aspect on how Kat perceives buildings.

The book was a good escapism and it flowed.

I would recommend this book.

A very entertaining read made extra special because I know many of the places in both Devon & Cornwall in which the story is set, especially having ancestors from both Counties too I felt a real heartfelt connection.#NetGally, #Goodreads,#FB, #Instagram, #Amazon.co.uk , #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/358a5cecda71b11036ec19d9f7bf5c96d13e2c55" width="80" height="80" alt="100 Book Reviews" title="100 Book Reviews"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/ef856e6ce35e6d2d729539aa1808a5fb4326a415" width="80" height="80" alt="Reviews Published" title="Reviews Published"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/aa60c7e77cc330186f26ea1f647542df8af8326a" width="80" height="80" alt="Professional Reader" title="Professional Reader"/>, So I highly recommend this Book .

Kat Maddox temporarily moves to Fowey (Foy), England to escape her life in London while she draws illustrations of local places for a book being written about the area. She keeps running into local boat tour guide hottie, Mac. Both Kat and Mac are mourning the loss of someone in their lives. As their friendship grows, they help each other to heal and move forward. Will Kat return to London when her job is finished or will she decide to stay in Fowey?

I loved this story! I found it both romantic and inspiring. I learned so much about the history of the area and about boats. The descriptions of the house Kat was staying at and the village of Fowey made me want to hop on a plane and see it for myself! I loved the relationship between Kat and Mac and how they grew to trust each other enough to share the aches in their hearts. My favorite part of the book was the ending. So romantic!

Thank you to NetGalley and Embla Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

An utterly enchanting and emotional novel about love and romance.The author manages to infuse a thoroughly evocative atmosphere into a page-turner plot The overall feeling from reading this book is like being enveloped in a warm hug from that special someone in your life.

Kat Maddox is an illustrator with a gift, creating magic each time she puts pen to paper, brush to canvas. She is offered an opportunity to leave her London life behind her and work in Fowey in Cornwall for a while. The timing is perfect having just discovered her boyfriend Colin has hidden a whole other life from her.
Kat is an illustrator with a gift, creating magic each time she puts pen to paper, brush to canvas. Meeting Mac and visiting an array of stunning Cornish landmarks brings us on a picturesque journey with Kat.
This is a nice read, a slow burn with quite an abrupt ending in my opinion, there were a few areas of the story I felt could have been further developed, but it was enjoyable none the less.

A beautifully atmospheric book. For anyone who has delighted in the scenery and coastline of Cornwall this is a dream.
The story follows Kat, who after a failed romance takes a 6mth assignment to Fowey to illustrate the grand houses of the area. Before leaving London she encounters a man who intrigues her, she sees him again on a holiday and then when she moves to Cornwall there he is again. As Kat explores her new home, Mac a sailor appears more often and soon they strike up a friendship, with her allowing him to experience her gift.
A lovely story, transporting you to a beautiful area of England.

Kate Ryder's books set in Cornwall are always a beautifully delicious read and I always look forward to new ones. Into a Cornish Wind transported from my chair here in Canada to the Cornish Coast with all it's beauty, mystery and wildness that I have only had the chance to visit once.

When Kat was lied to and hurt by her ex she was lucky to be able to get away from him in London. She arrives in Fowey to work as an illustrator for an American author writing a book about old Cornish buildings. It is a perfect job for her especially as it comes with a beautiful cottage to enjoy while she is there.

I always find that Kate's books have an air of mystery and eeriness about them and I thought it about this one as Mac kept popping up in unexpected places and I was wondering what this might mean, but it was just my imagination! He turned out to be a regular guy with his own issues about relationships but he was also ready to risk falling in love with Kat, he just had to persuade her! I loved the connection between them and the way their attraction grew and became so much more.

I did get the delicious shivers I expected when Kat went to draw some of the buildings for the book and was able to see a lot more than was actually there and I could imagine having the same shivers if I was exploring some of these old buildings.

Kate is an amazing storyteller everything is believeable and so life like but more than that she has the ability to put me inside her story so that my imagination sees everything through her eyes. I enjoyed reading the slow burn love story between Kat and Mac and that she was able to create the perfect happy ever after for them. A wonderful read that kept me engrossed to the end.

A good if slightly predictable romance story.
Loved the description of Cornwall, and I did like the way the two main characters, Kat and Mac gelled together.
Didn't have as much of a paranormal twist as the other kate Ryder books I have read, but still a very enjoyable read
Thank you NetGalley

Into the Cornish WInd is the 3rd book i have read from Kate Ryder. I always enjoy reading her books for the locations, history and the hint of the paranormal that she has in her books.

This story takes place mostly in Cornwall which is an area that sounds absolutely gorgeous. Kat Maddox is an illustrator living and working in London who finds out that her boyfriend is married with a child on the way. She is picked by her boss to illustrate the book of a historian who is writing a book on stately properties in Cornwall. Even better there is a lovely house in Cornwall that comes with the job. Needing a break from her life in London, Kat takes the job. Kat has a affinity for seeing the past in her drawings which really added a unique element to the story. While in Cornwall Kat meets some amazing people, including Mac who owns a yacht that he charters around Cornwall and other areas. Kat is drawn to Mac however he is always seen with a different woman every time she sees him and she is not interested in a relationship with another lethario. Can Mac break down her barriers and let her see the damaged but loving man underneath?

I really enjoyed this book, the descriptions of Cornwall were wonderful, and the romance was lovely. The part I really liked was Kat’s innate ability to see the past in her drawings. Another excellent book from the library of Ms. Ryder.

Thanks to Netgalley, Embla Books and the author for the chance to read and reivew this book.

A really lovely story full of beauty and promise. Kat and Mac are both great characters with a lot to offer in the story.

I enjoyed the medley of different elements in this gentle romance set in Cornwall. Kat, a talented illustrator, is less successful with her romantic relationships. An offer of a job in Fowey in Cornwall gives her a chance to escape London and heal. In London, on holiday in Salcombe and then in Cornwall, she sees a man who attracts her, but he always has a different female companion, and she isn't willing to risk her heart again. I love their serendipitous meetings coupled with believable conflicts to the possibility of romance for them. Set in coastal and rural Cornwall amidst historical buildings and relics, this story has a good sense of place that is immersive reading. Finally, a supernatural twist hovers between imagination and reality, giving this story hidden depths that make it addictive reading.

I like the characters, vibrant setting and magic of this story.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
