Summer at the Cornish Farmhouse

When her marriage falls apart, Jess is unsure what to do. On impulse she heads to Cornwall to her grandparents' farm to see what she can do to making it working again. Meeting Riley, Mr. Fix-It, and helping her daughter Lola come out of her shell add to the mix. Fun story, and one I would highly recommend.

I loved this story . Jess and her daughter after her divorce moved to Cornwall to take over her grandparents camping business. You follow Jess doing up the old buildings , supporting new businesses , falling in love and learning to let her daughter go back to her x and his new partner. I loved how Jess through herself into every thing. Her grandfather was a great character and her parents were great. I am hoping we might get a sequel .

What a story filled with strong characters, abillant story all served in the best location.
Such a fun summer read for the beach, the pool or in an armchair at the end if a long day!

I really enjoyed this book, my first by the Author, i liked the book cover and i liked the characters and i hope it becomes a series.

This was a story about finding yourself after a divorce.

That’s where she met Riley and they were so fun together!

This is a summer read I would highly recommend!

Thank you to Netgalley, Aria and Aries and the author for providing me with this copy. My opinions are my own.

Jess and her daughter move to her Grandparents property in Cornwall after her divorce. She begins her new journey by revamping the buildings and campsites into a lovely updated vacation spot by the sea. Jess hires Riley to help with the construction and various jobs and they become good friends. I highly recommend this book filled with good vibes.
Thank you Net Galley for the ARC !

In this delightful, uplifting and romantic book we meet Jess and her daughter who have moved into their Grandparents property in Cornwall. Jess is ready to start a new journey after being newly divorced. Jess has alot of work today, revamping the building and campsite to make the money start coming in. It is here that Jess hires Riley and well the rest as they say is history. I highly recommend this book filled with feel good vibes.

I loved this book so much.
As I was reading it it felt likei was there with jess telling me what's going on.
It is written beautifully and so like real life that I didn't want to put it down and I was really sad when it ended.

This was a delightful read and a fun escape to the English countryside of Cornwall!

Surprised by her husband’s announcement that their marriage is over, Jess escapes with her daughter, Lola, to the comfort of her grandparent’s farm of her youth. Jess and Lola slowly restart their lives with new friendships, multiple challenges and fresh air at the rundown farm.

As Jess rehabs the farm’s buildings with the help of Riley, a local Mr. Fix-It, she also rehabs her life.
It is not the turn of events that are surprising, but Jess’ reaction to them as her character matures and learns how to react to them.

This was a fun and easy to read story with likable characters that leave you looking forward to a sequel! My first, but not my last escape with Linn B. Halton!

Thank you #Net Galley and #Aria&Aries for the ARC !

Summer at the Cornish Farmhouse , a warm, busy story of Jess and her 8 year old starting life afresh after Jess's divorce.

It is a story of second chances and starting a new chapter in life for most of the characters on a sleepy, forgotten Farmhouse which is coming alive in all possible ways. I quite enjoyed the hustle bustle, budding friendships and romances .

This was a delightful fun read. Set in the gorgeous countryside of Cornwall with the sea tantalisingly close enough to sniff.
Jess thought that her life was planned out - married with a child until her husband tells her he doesn’t love her anymore and wants a divorce. With a new life for her and Lola her daughter she relocates to her grandparents farm in Cornwall to start a new life managing the campsite. Along the way she discovers that her marriage hasn’t been right for her, finds some new support and realises her true worth.
This is a gorgeous read, perfect for anytime you need a pick me up and a dose of Cornish warmth.
Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I am so glad that I read this book. It was lovely and left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Highly recommend.

I thought this looked like a fun book to read.

This was a sweet, feel-good book set in Cornwall. It was a lovely, light-hearted read. I think it is the kind of book that I would pick up when I feel like a different kind of escape. The type of book that I will enjoy once and then pass on to someone else to enjoy, because reading it might cheer them up too.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me a complementary digital copy of this ebook in exchange for a full, frank and honest review. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

Escapism at high level: heartwarming and entertaining story, lovely setting, and well written characters
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

Such a lovely heartwarming story.

Divorcee Jess Newman and her daughter Lola with a fresh start from Gloucestershire to Cornwall, Grandad Gabe offers them his farmhouse Renweneth Farm with land, with seaside breeze, country air it's just what they both need and a big step with a lot of hard work for jess is she doing the right thing?

Riley Warren a man of all trade no job is to small becomes a bonus to her as they start rebuilding and transforming the place it's in well need of a update the farm, the manor, smithy's cottage and the bakery holiday makers will come flocking hopefully and Jess surprises herself doing manual work she even surprises herself.

Her ex husband has moved on but she is of no interest of finding love and commitments ever again will Riley change that?

This book is so full of wholesome goodness that is beautiful to curl up with, that I enjoyed right through.

This is an excellent feel good read. It has a range of characters of various ages and personalities. As the story builds the reader is filled in on the history of the various characters and this leads to a really rounded tale filled with fun, friendship, love and optimism.

A gentle romance based in a beautiful coastal setting. A real adult look at divorce and the impact on the children as well as both parents. Such a good flow to this book as futures are forged and new ideas tested out. The confidence that grows in the book in both Jess and Riley is palpable.

I have read quite a few of this author's books now and have loved each one, I adore her light-hearted easy-to-read writing style and her tender and wholesome stories, you really can't get any better from the genre then reading a Linn B. Halton book!

Summer at the Cornish farmhouse is an absolute delight, it's charming, heart-warming, full of warmth and lots and lots of heart, i loved it, it has easily become my favourite of Linn's books (to date).

This is a proper second chance story of a woman after her diverse moves to Cornwall with her grandfather, hoping for a new life with her daughter and a chance to move past the heartache. She has no intention of love or romance, and she isn't searching for another beau - which are really the best stories aren't they when love just appears when you least expect it"!

This is when Riley walks in, a man of all trades who offers to help her and her grandfather with renovations on the farm. I loved the relationship between them, it's a slow-burner and I wondered if they would ever even make it as the romance is so subtly and beautifully written but I do see more for this couple in the future,, maybe a sequel? or a series?

Overall this is utterly charming!

Linn’s novels are both class- delightful to read. Jess’s life turns upside down and she finds it hard to accept that her marriage is over. Whatever Jess plans to do the main decider is to protect and nurture her daughter Lola. Warm, touching and romantic, Jess realises the importance of friendship and local community

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

After divorce and bereavement, Jess is starting over in her Grandparents old house, working to renovate a number of old buildings and make a new life for her and her daughter. The helpful delivery man from the builder's merchants turns up at just the right time.

I loved this book. The characters are well written, the story is captivating. I could do with a map, as I got a little lost about where buildings were in relation to each other.

I'm so glad this is a series, I can't wait to find out what happens at Renweneth Manor next.

Another excellent read by Linn!
Linn creates a world that you are lost in once you start turning pages. Jess and Lola are creating a new life after a family breakup, and I loved the intricate details of house renovations wound around Jess rebuilding her confidence and starting over, with the hint of a new relationship to come. Couldn’t put it down.

Recently divorced Jess moves to get grandparents farm with daughter Lola to make a new start.
While renovating outbuildings and reinstating a farmer's market Jess falls in love with builder Riley.

An uplifting romance. After Jess's marriage breaks down, she, with her daughter Lola, takes over the farmhouse in Cornwall. Jess meets Riley after he delivers building material, and together, they renovate the farmhouse.
A light summer read. This was easy to fall into. It's the kind of place I could imagine myself in.
The characters were all likeable (except maybe Jess's ex-husband) I particularly liked Cappy.
Thanks to Netgalley and Aria and Aries for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. This was an enjoyable read. I was invested in the characters and storyline, and enjoyed the beautiful Cornish setting.

A fun lighthearted read from Linn B Halton. Jess and her daughter leave Gloucestershire and head to Cornwall to do up Jess’s Grandparents Farmhouse. As a single parent she finds new friends along the way. A little bit predictable but then who doesn’t like and enjoy cheese at times. Thanks to Linn and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley.

I enjoy a good romance and this one was just the one to read. It was written beautiful about Jess and her daughter whom move to Cornwall! Perfect read!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

Following her divorce and the loss of a loved one, Jess, along with her daughter is beginning afresh in the house where her Grandparents lived.

She’s wanting to bring the old buildings up to date and hopefully make a life for them both.

I recommend this book.

What a delightful story of Jess and how she starts again with her daughter Lola after her marriage breaks down. She finds herself taking over her grandads holiday home complete with run down barn. and finds herself learning new skills as she brings the holiday home and derelict barn back to life with the help of handy man Riley.
I loved the way Jess copes with everyday problems along with her friends and family as they all pull together to help to get the business up and running. Strong characters all with their own unique way.
A real feel good story and highly recommended.
Thanks to NetGalley & Aria & Aries for a ARC and a honest review.

A beautiful heartwarming story, great characters and location - I really wish Renweneth Farm existed as I would visit in a heartbeat!

Nice gentle read, set with a backdrop of the beautiful Cornwall coast. You were willing everyone to have a happy ending and find what makes them happy after the sadness of loss. Definitely a good holiday read.

When Jess Newman’s husband tells her he no longer loves her she is lost. Trying to be strong for her young daughter Lola Jess weighs up her options. Her Grandad Gabe throws her a lifeline when he offers her his home in Cornwall. Jess will have a lot of work to do as the farmhouse is rundown but with the help of friends old and new Jess is hoping she and Lola will have a fresh start.
This is a lovely story of family. friendship and starting again. If you like Holly Martin or Philippa Ashley you will love this. Take this on holiday, relax and enjoy!

It's all about second chances. Jess is crushed when her husband leaves her but her grandfather Gabe has a terrific idea- go to Cornwall and work on his property. So off Jess goes with her daughter Lola and they slowly start to rebuild themselves. There's a lot of work to be done and, as it turns out Riley the handyman is terrific. And he helps both of them in more way than one. This might be a bit trope-y but it's set in Cornwall and the characters are delightful. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

A great feel good read. We travel with the characters as the renovations take place and the business expands. We are there alongside them as the relationships grow and develop and trust is grown.

Another can't put it down book with twists and turns. Full of warmth and love.

Jess makes Cornwall her home after her divorce and gets to work on renovating the farmhouse. Her builder, Riley has a similar past history . Can she settle there, can they both find happiness again? A great summer feel good read.

Jess is heartbroken when her husband Ben ends their marriage and starts a new relationship. Jess and her eight year old daughter Lola move to Cornwell to live in and old farm house that had belonged to her grandparents. As well as the old farmhouse there are a few old buildings that need renovating so they can be made available as holiday accommodation and a camp ground managed by a friend of Jess’s grandfather. Jess makes new friends and learns new skills as she helps a builder repair old buildings on the farm.
A romance about families, friendships and new beginnings.

Jess is heartbroken when her husband Ben tells her that he no longer loves her! She moves to Cornwall with her eight-year-old daughter Lola & takes over her grandparent's home & business. The farmhouse & surrounding buildings need renovation & Jess finds help from Riley, a delivery driver who also does home repairs. Riley becomes a great support with Jess's plans to work on the out buildings, & they make a great team.

Follow the story of their friendship, supporting family & changes in Jess' life. Such a lovely book that felt warm & comforting to read & I would love to read more of their story. Recommended read.

Really enjoyed this book. I think it’s a good summer read, it has lots of wonderful characters, strong women roles, heartbreak, and happiness, what more could you ask of a book. Love the book cover and really hope it becomes a series, hoping Ivy and Adam are the next book!!

ess’s heart is broken when her husband, Ben, tells her he no longer loves her and wants a divorce. Shortly afterward, Jess’s grandmother passes away unexpectedly, leaving her grandfather devastated. But, it’s at that time that he decides to move away from his Cornish farmhouse in need of renovating. So, Jess and her daughter, Lola, 8, decide to move into the farmhouse. She then begins the huge undertaking of renovating the farmhouse, outbuildings for holiday makers, and gardens. There is also the empty Renweneth Manor house that also needs a lot of work.

Jess works hard and has accomplished a lot. But she has limited funds to get the work done and has to be careful how she spends it. When she meets Riley, she is pleased to learn he does home repairs and agrees to work for her. He has a good reputation and promises hard work.

As Riley becomes full time working for Jess, they spark an attraction to one another. Although the work is not without problems, they persevere. Jess’s friends and family are all very close and are happy to spend time together.

This is a good story of the problems we face in life and the mettle that it takes to overcome them. The love of family and friends are featured in this this delightful book. I was quite taken with the in-depth plot and descriptions that the author gives the reader. An enjoyable read. Don’t miss it!

Copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I don't usually read romance because the women often annoy me by being sappy. Jess is not sappy! She moves herself and her young daughter down to Cornwall to make a business out of a guesthouse and campsite. The guesthouse needs a lot of work to get it in shape and she calls upon friends and family to help, when the jobs get too big.

Gradually,Jess and Lola settle into their new life, make friends and plan the expansion of the business. A love interest quietly creeps into her life without fanfare which is a refreshing way to approach things, for me. I'd happily read another if this turns into a series, as a gentle, but not dull, read.

A lovely second-chance romance in a coastal Cornish setting. Jess finally acknowledges the end of her marriage when her husband, Ben, asks for a divorce. Seeking counsel from her Grandmother, she received excellent and prophetic advice. A year later, still hurt and lost, she takes the opportunity to live on her Grandfather's farm and renovate the buildings and her life. This uplifting read has community spirit, family love and friendship to help her make a new start for her daughter. The conflicts are numerous, and romance is not on her to-do list, but Riley is a rare find and proves to be a good friend.

I like the family and friend dynamic, the emotional growth of the protagonists and the mix of humour, poignancy and romance. It's a Summer escapist read that hugs you, perfect.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
