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. The stories about the lighthouse keepers were interesting and something I’d never really thought about before, or indeed given much thought about and I found their experiences really interesting to learn about. When Eden steps out of her beautiful coastal cottage to find a Speedo-wearing, suntanned stranger doing yoga in next door's garden, she is immediately on her guard. And when a long-buried family secret surfaces, her faith in those she loves most is shaken to the core. Throw in a touch of cloak and dagger to the romance and the story kept me hooked all the way through.

Learning about how to roast coffee beans was fascinating and I swear I could smell the coffee whilst reading. Eden appears to be living the dream running her own coffee business in the beautiful Cornish peninsular but she is unable to let her guard down since her ex husband lied and cheated leaving her with nothing including. After being betrayed by her husband she has to re-evaluate her life and move back in with her mother. She was with a husband who was a stranger to the truth and when all his secrets came out, she was left with nothing. As we were taken around the lighthouse, it was so easy to visualise the setting and hear the sound of the sea.The setting is gorgeous, but I had trouble warming to the heroine, Eden, and wasn't certain I would like her grandmother and mother. Milly Johnson 'A blissful story, full of sunshine, secrets and Phillipa's trademark romance' - Cressida McLaughlin 'Sunshine, secrets and a stunning setting make this the perfect summer read! Although her chemistry with Levan is clear from the start, it also seems that he has past issues which he has tried to get away from. Eden and Levan have a rocky road, but they can handle it and will come out at the end of the path stronger as one. A heart-warming read full of sun, sea, friendship and romance perfect for fans of SARAH MORGAN and TRISHA ASHLEY.

When Eden steps out of her beautiful coastal cottage to find a Speedo-wearing, suntanned stranger doing yoga in next door’s garden, she is immediately on her guard. I learnt so much reading this book, along with enjoying a really lovely story with superb characters. Set in a beautiful location, based around a lighthouse, this book will have you dreaming of the coastline of Cornwall. A close knit family lives near a lighthouse in Cornwall; very idealic and gorgeous area where any chances don't go unnoticed.

It was a lovely romantic plot but also without giving away any spoilers had other themes/plots to keep my interest. Three generations of her family are all featured and the strength of their family ties adds to the heartwarming appeal.

Eden is a third generation in a long line of lighthouse keepers, but now that everything is automated, she’s free to run her coffee business. Her writing is incredibly addictive and I could almost smell the coffee in Eden’s roastery and the tang of the salt in the sea air. Iris for sure was my favourite character, especially the scene with Eden, Levan, and Simon, in her cottage. I loved the romance side and the bond between grandmother, daughter and grand daughter is just lovely to read about. Levan is a 'cyber security expert using using a seafront shelter as a'ecurity location' on phone to Dion.I received a free copy of, A Secret Cornish Summer, by Phillipa Ashley, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I liked how he tried to do the right thing with Eden and also I really enjoyed his friendship with Iris, and her little story twist even more. When she and her grandmother Iris meet their new next door neighbour Levan, Iris can't help but feel attracted to him. Phillipa Ashley has once again created an immersive book that captured my imagination from the earliest pages.
