I absolutely loved everything about this book! Rose Vernon has survived a life threatening illness with a bone marrow transplant.

After a loss she decides to contact the donor and after some clues from the stationary she travels to Cornwall to a small town to get close to them. She also is an archaeologist and has a dig nearby as to not look like a creeper.

She has narrowed it down to two men in town. This town is small and after finding a place to let she is swept up in the small town life and gets really close to everyone.

I love these small town, romantic summer stories! There was a bit of a love triangle, there was boat making, a King Arthur dig, a fun astrology shop, storms, so much! I had so much fun in this book!

I really loved Finn but everyone wants Joey. We all know those brothers.

I am thinking of getting this for my cousin who reads my posts I think lol. Her beautiful daughter had a liver transplant when she was two and everyday is a miracle of life. And writing the donor's family was a bittersweet endeavour since their loved ones' life was lost tragically young. This story is about a living donor which is an awesome gift! PSA consider signing up to be a donor esp for blood I think there's a shortage right now but def for organ or bone marrow.

Thank you avon books and net galley for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

After a bereavement and a tough few years health wise, Rose travels to Cornwall for the summer. She's not only working but she is trying to discover the identity of the person who donated Bone Marrow that helped her to overcome cancer.

Finn and Joey are brothers with a lot of differences, as well as a lot in common. Is one of them Rose's donor? And is romance on the cards?

A lovely read from Philippa Ashley with evocative descriptions of the wonderful North Cornish coast.

An Endless Cornish Summer by Phillipa Ashley is a romance but with so much more to recommend it. Rose had had a tough few years. She had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia with her only chance for survival a bone marrow transplant. Her mother and grandmother were too old to donate and she had no other close relative so she had to resort to the registry, where, thank God, she found a match. She was health and well, with not residual effects except for a daily dose of anti-biotic. Now her grandmother, the woman who had raised her and loved her, had left her a letter, in which, despite what she had said in the past, she told her to get in touch with her donor and thank him. With that in mind, she applied for a got a grant to explore an archeological site, near where she believed he lived. There she met many people who were to become good friends, starting with Oriel who was to become her landlady. From the window of her apartment she could she the boatyard of the Morvah Boat Builders, where she could see Dorinda, the boys' mother, and Finn and Joey, the boat builders. She was immediately warned against Joey, as he was a bit of a womanizer, but she found him charming and he was going to teach her to pilot a boat, so that was good. Finn was the one she was drawn to but her seemed to have no interest in her.

This was a lovely little story, of course, rife with miscommunication, or lack if it all together. The characters were interesting, all with their problems but eminently human and lovable. As Rose became part of the community she became part of the fabric of the relationships between all these small town people who had not desire to be anywhere but this lovely small town on the beach. It was an enticingly written novel with enough twists and turns to keep the reader, all the while aiming for the conclusion, which was destined from the beginning. In a romance, the ending is pretty well assured early on so it is the journey and this was an enjoyable journey with tidbits of local legends, archeology, sailing, and woodworking, thrown in for fun. I found it very entertaining. Read it for yourself.

I was invited to read a free e-ARC of An Endless Cornish Summer by Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #netgalley #anendlesscornishsummer

The first in a gorgeous new series “A Perfect Cornish Summer” by Phillipa Ashley. I am glad I decided to try a Women's Fiction for a change from mysteries as it was a very entertaining, easy read.

Rose Vernon is headed to a quiet Cornish village – to find the man who saved her life.

I visited Cornwall 4 years ago the way this is written I was transported back and could picture it in full colour. The author was good at describing the every day life in a Cornish harbour town. Learning about boat building and Cornish myths and legends was fascinating as well.

I found the characters to be well developed, and multi-dimensional. There were lots of twists and turns and multiple sub-plots to keep you engaged and interested in the outcome. I will definitely read other books by this author.

I requested and received an advanced readers copy Courtesy of NetGalley and Avon publishing. All opinions are my own.

I throughly enjoyed my Cornish summer escape and I didn't want to leave. It just sounded idyllic. This is a heartwarming story with romance. A perfect summer read.

Rose receives a life saving donation. She pieces together clues which lead her to a Cornish fishing village of Falford. She wants to thank her donor, but she needs to figure out which one he is.

The setting was just stunning. I found the boat building and cornish myths and legends fascinating. There were so many fabulous characters. As friendships develop Rose finds herself drawn into the community, making it more and more difficult to tell the residents why she is really there.

This is a poignant and moving story. It's also thought provoking, raising awareness of the importance of stem cell donation. Everyone on the register makes a difference.

Thank you to Avon Books and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rose Vernon has gotten a new lease on her life thanks to an anonymous donor, she now strives to live to her fullest. Rose decides it's time to find and thank the person who saved her life, which also coincides with an archaeological dig Rose has been accepted for. She has narrowed her search down, however she doesn't know which of the Morvah brothers it is. In an attempt to get close to each of the brother, Rose is right at the centre of a small town of Falford.
This book has all the vibes of a small Cornish fishing town. We see the close knit community and how everyone looks out for each other. There are events of the past which have everyone keeping a closer eye on Rose as she's interacting with both Finn and Joey. The Morvah's build customised boats, and are obviously experience in sailing, that we see their strenghts and even when Rose is learning to sail as well.
Rose is a professor of Archeology and her field work has gotten her to the town. I loved ht she spoke about her work, and there is definitely more charm when a town has so much tangible history to witness.
The town people were so unique, having their own roles on a daily basis but also while putting together events. Dorinda is such a powerful character and one can see how everyone admires her.
An Endless Cornish Summer was such an experience. It was a fun and quick read with elements of serious and real issues.

This book begins with Rose visiting Cornwall on a quest to find her anonymous bone marrow donor who saved her life. It is lovely to see her taking a chance and living her life to the full.
The location of Falford, in Cornwall was described in a lot of detail. When I read some of the details I could imagine it perfectly. For example the description of the view from Rose's window was so vivid that I felt like I was standing at the window looking out too.
I loved the characters in this book, apart from Nigel, although I think that there could have been a bit more of his villainy, as he was certainly entertaining.
This is lighthearted Summer escapism. It was an easy and enjoyable read. Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

This is a quick easy read, a nice romance set in gorgeous Cornwall. A story about mostly nice people, with a happy ending. Not much more to say really. Nice.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance copy of this book.

Thanks net galley for this free read. I am really enjoying the books by Phillipa Ashley and this book was as good as all the others I have read. The reader is introduced to the main character Rose whose life was saved by a bone marrow donor. As a result she is able to pursue her career of becoming an archaeologist. We follow Rose on her journey of discovery - to find the person who saved her life as well as a new romance. A great page turner. Thanks once again to net galley

A delightful light summer read, set in an idyllic community where everyone gets on and looks after each other which really feels appealing after 15 months of pandemic isolation. Bringing in archaeology, plenty of Cornish myths and folklore and a love of sailing and the joy of being in or near water, this is a fascinating and engaging book. I enjoyed the story arc of Rose, enjoyed the way she supported Oriele both with her business efforts and also with her relationship with Naomi, the way she was enthusiastic about her job and also the way she processed getting to know both Joey and Finn. It was also fun to see her adjust to life in a small community and quickly find her place, I think this is what Phillipa Ashley does best, she creates wonderful communities and shows how to integrate yourself and how that can give a sense of belonging.

With thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This One Checks All of the Boxes!
This is a marvelous book. I learned so much about the Cornwall area that it has climbed into the top 10 of my bucket list. I learned more about sailing and sailboats that I may have to take some lessons this summer. I also really enjoy the fact that this story is based around a person who is alive due to the generosity of strangers. We should all be willing to give bone marrow and plasma to those in need. The life story of all of the characters was so realistic. Small towns everywhere have the same group of gossips, organizers, know-it-alls, and skilled tradesmen. This was a neat book to read and it begs to be read again. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

Another heatwarming summer read from Phillipa Ashley set in such a beautiful location. With her descriptive writing I could almost feel as though I was there. Pure escapism from the worries of real life right now.

The main character Rose has recovered from a serious illness thanks to a stem cell donor. She now thinks she has located the donor and goes off in search of him in Cornwall. Here she meets the Morvah brothers and friendships blossom. Rose soon feels at home with village life as she settles in nicely in a flat above a quirky gift shop and also learns to sail.

The story also deals with topics such as sailing, archaeology and stem cell treatment. This appears to have been researched really well so I was impressed with the author’s knowledge.

If you haven’t read anything by Phillipa before then I would highly recommend her books. I can’t wait for more in the Cornish series.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the publishers and the author for an arc.

This is an inspirational book which shows how important it is to live life to the full and make the most of any opportunities. Rose Vernon’s life was saved by a bone marrow donor and she has the possible chance to thank them when she goes to work as an archaeologist in Cornwall. She’s followed all the clues she can find and it seems the donor lives in the seaside village of Falford, not far from the dig she’ll be working on. She suspects he is one of the Morvah brothers, but is uncertain which one . . . . An unexpected encounter enables Rose to actually stay in the village where she makes new friends and becomes involved in the local community and events. Will she identify her donor? What other surprises will this summer bring?

What a delightful read this proved to be. It is a moving story, dealing beautifully with some sensitive issues. The amount of research the author must have done on so many different aspects is impressive and shows through so many of the engaging but informative scenarios in the story. It is a lovely story to escape into, one which is centred on a delightful, coastal community where the author’s love of all things Cornish shines through. There are so many great characters, including one to dislike and others who win you over. There’s historic finds, sailing, boatbuilding, tasty treats, a regatta and so much more in this story that leaves you with a huge smile on your face and happy memories of all that happens in it. I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending it and look forward to reading more by this skilled author in future.

Thank you to Avon Books and NetGalley for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

An Endless Cornish Summer is a lovely chilled out read. It would be perfect for a beach holiday (if we were allowed to go on one!) The premise is a unique one, with the main character Rose trying to find her hero stem cell donor. She's comes across the fabulous Morvah brothers, could one of them be her saviour?

Phillipa has done it again with this fantastic novel, her writing gets better with every book she writes. Make sure you get a copy of this and enjoy every word that it contains, you won't want to put it down but will be sad when it ends as you just want to read more. 5 stars and I recommend this.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC

An Endless Cornish Summer by Phillipa Ashley
Pub Date: 24 June 2021
Rose Vernon is headed to a quiet Cornish village – to find the man who saved her life.
For Rose, every day is a gift. She narrowly survived a life-threatening illness and owed everything to her anonymous donor. Determined to thank him, Rose follows a trail of clues that lead her to the tiny Cornish fishing village of Falford.
But things become complicated when Rose is drawn into local life, becoming involved in the legendary Falford Regatta and meeting the handsome Morvah brothers – one of whom might just be the man she's looking for. But which one?
Can Rose find the answer she's searching for, or will she lose her heart before the summer is over?
Another wonderful book from Phillipa Ashley.
With a unique plot, interesting characters and just the right amount of drama, emotion and romance. Rose is a delightful protagonist with a deep, thoughtful, kind personality.
This is a charming love story set in Cornwall.
The descriptions of the sea, the estuary, and the regatta are portrayed superbly. It was lovely to get to know the locals and be immersed in the passion, gossip, and goings-on within the small village of Falford.
I really enjoyed this story and am happy to recommend it—one to add to your reading list.
I want to thank NetGalley, Avon Books UK and author Phillipa Ashley for a pre-publication to review.

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon Books for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I've read a few Phillipa Ashley books and was excited to receive this one but I didn't love it as much as the other books I've read. It's a nice summery easy read and is still very enjoyable.

Sheer escapism! I loved this light, frothy book, a perfect antidote to anxious times. I loved the concept of Rose, given a second chance at life, after receiving donor bone marrow, seeking out her donor. Encouraged by a letter left by her recently deceased grandmother, she heads to Cornwall to track down her donor, her only clue provided by a postcard depicting a local scene painted by a Cornwall artist. Rose finds work on an architectural dig and by a chance encounter in a magic shop, finds accommodation which offers a unique vantage point on the boatyard owned by the handsome Morvah brothers, one of whom is her donor. She quickly gets absorbed into the lives and interests of the locals and also gets very close to both brothers. No spoilers but it makes for very enjoyable reading! Extremely well written, well researched, great original characters and good strong plotline. I loved it!

Another great book by Phillipa. Stunning Cornish scenery, well researched professions and likeable characters combine to make this a lovely read.

Another great read from Phillipa Ashley. I love all of her books they're so easy to read and the characters are always down to earth and easy to relate to. I highly recommend this author.
