Review: Christmas at Polkerran Point


Fate may have brought them together, but secrets seem destined to keep them apart...

 

An accident and a lost passport mean Gemma's six-month sabbatical to go travelling is not off to a strong start. She heads to Polkerran Point to stay at her aunt’s while her new passport is processed and to find temporary work in the meantime.

 

Enter musician Matt. Newly moved into a secluded, renovated mill – complete with a recording studio – Matt is preparing for his band’s big reunion tour. Focused on writing new music for the album, he needs a live-in housekeeper.

 

Even as sparks fly, Gemma can sense Matt's keeping secrets and with her role ending once Christmas is over, will there be anything to keep her in Polkerran?

 

A cosy, festive Cornish romance for fans of Phillipa Ashley and Cressida McLaughlin.


Review:

This was a lovely remedy to the many things getting me down at the start of this season. Like me, the protagonist has begun the season at the bottom of the barrel. Her path to love is filled with fires, messes, spoiled food and cleaning supplies. The host of delightful epigraphs kept the mood light throughout and set the tone for holiday cheer.  The authors have a cheeky sense of humor that I enjoyed so much in this hapless rom-com filled with all the reasons Christmas has endured.


The novel has a very mild PG-13 for some language and well-described kissing. Nothing that you’d be embarrassed to share with the church book club :)

Author Bio – Cass began her writing life in Regency England, enlisted Jane Austen’s help to time-travel between then and the present day and is now happily ensconced in 21st century Cornwall. 


Well, in her imagination and soul; her heart and physical presence reside in northern England with her ever-patient husband and Tig and Tag, their cute but exceptionally demanding moggies. 


A bit of a nomad, Cass has called three countries home, as well as six different English counties, but her aspiration is to one day reunite with her beloved West Country.


In the meantime, she writes feel-good contemporary romances set in Cornwall and, in doing so, manages to live there vicariously through her characters and settings.


An Ambassador for the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation, Cass is also a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association, the Jane Austen Society UK and the Society of Authors.
