Alice left London months ago after managing a restaurant to work in Castle Cafe only we see how amazingly clumsy she is at the start of the book! But we also see how well she fits in there with Cath and Lily whom work there too.
After she attempts to try and swim in the sea Jay interrupts her before she can into any trouble they also run into each other when Alice is on her bike and again when Jay offers his carpentry skills to the cafe to fix the cupboard she broke off the wall.
Alice and Jay train for the triathlon together after Alice reveals she is doing it for her mum who always took part who's just passed away months before as Alice has just moved to finally be with her despite it being just too late. As the story develops, we watch as Alice and Jay become friends and how they both help each other as Alice injured her ankle and Jay needs someone to help him organise, not to mention they wind up rescuing someone while our on the water which causes Alice to confess something to Jay.
As Alice prepares to leave for Thailand to live with her dad and his new wife, Beth she helps Cath find her happy ever after with the right guy and finds it hard to say bye to Jay after their relationship developed so much. But will be give up on them?
The main castle setting is a lavish sounding and seeming affair, like something out of a Disney film with many offerings besides just a cafe. The tone of the book is very holiday like and idyllic, I felt like it was a believable story and really enjoyed it. Drama aside, there were funny times, emotional times and I praise Donna for including about the lifeboats services for all they do saving lives and risking their own under bad or good situations.
The cover is also gorgeous and so pretty with all the pastel colours popping and catching my eye all the time!
A perfect girly read for this time of year in the Spring/Summer sunshine!
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
