This novella is about Lucy who escapes to a holiday home rental in Cornwall to have a break away from it all. And then she meets Jake!
A Cornish Retreat is full of British and West Country character which makes for easy reading. The story is nicely dressed but the plot is shallow. This novella lacks depth and is a very weak story. It is very bland and just blunders along. Nothing exciting happens, just a hope that the story will improve. This is a very drab read that does not live up to it’s promise. Although Jake manages to stay the night with Lucy, the reader is kept in the dark about what happens behind closed doors.
A Cornish Retreat is a disappointment although it does have some nice scene setting. This is not a Bridget Jones’s Diary, more like the series of television adverts years ago for Cadbury’s Milk Tray. I thought this novella was a POOR read and shall only vote it 2 stars.
A Cornish Retreat is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2014.
