From Cornwall with Love by Cressida McLaughlin

 

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like Cornwall…
Maisie Winters has everything she could ever want. She lives in the idyllic Cornish town of Port Karadow, has a jammy job in her dad's shop, adores her rescue mutt, and has time to take the landscape photos she loves.

While her best friend and sister left the town to chase big dreams in London and New York, Maisie stayed – she wouldn't leave her favourite place for anything … or anyone.

When her long-time crush, Colm Caffrey, returns from a decade abroad, old feelings start to resurface. Maisie begins to ask herself if there might be one big thing missing after all?

You know it’s a good day when you turn on your kindle to find your most anticipated book of the year has arrived!

Yes that’s right Cressida McLaughlin is back with another book in the much loved Cornish Cream Tea series titled From Cornwall with Love where we are reunited with all our favourites from the previous books as well as opening our arms to new characters too.

Our protagonist is the lovable Maisie who has grown up in Port Karadow and whilst those she knows and loves around her all seem to want to grow their wings and escape Maisie is true to her roots and wants to stay put, in her eyes what more can somewhere else offer her when her Cornish town has everything to offer. The one thing she is missing is romance, after having her heart broken when her teenage love disappeared without a moments notice. But is love about to blossom when an unexpected arrival returns to Port Karadow?

This is everything I hoped it would be and more. I don’t know how Cressida Mclaughlin does it but this series is just unstoppable, at the end of each book I am desperate for more they just don’t tire or lose their spark. The community spirit in in abundance in this book with characters who we already know and love all coming together but don’t be put off if you have yet to read the previous books in the series because you can still follow this book easily as a stand alone ( but boy are you missing out on a wonderful series, where have you been hiding?)

Maisie felt like she hadn’t really found her way in life but by the end we realise this is more from what is pushed on her by her mum, Maisie is actually very content with her life the way it is and I loved this about her.

I can’t not mention the surfer god that is Colm, he certainly got the pulse racing amongst the women in Port Karadow and he was a wonderful introduction to the series too. An ideal man that not only has looks to melt the strongest heart but also has a pure heart of gold too.

This is quite simply a feel good heavenly romance with an idyllic setting and a host of friends for entertainment and support, the perfect concoction for a Summer read. Roll on the next book in the series, I am already so excited for another return.
