A Cornish Daisy’s Kiss
Weeks after boarding a train to Paris in
pursuit of her writing dreams, aspiring novelist Maisie Clark is right back
where she started: on the idyllic shores of Port Hewer in Cornwall, luggage in
hand and heart filled with anticipation for what lies ahead. Except that
nothing seems the same as Maisie left it, from her place among the staff at the
hotel Penmarrow to her budding romance with groundskeeper Sidney Daniels, who
isn’t quite ready to overlook the painful consequences of her sudden departure.
Losing Sidney would be unbearable, but Maisie can’t help fearing it might be true if the rift between them proves too deep to heal. She knows her feelings for him are unchanged, but whether he feels the same remains to be seen—particularly since she stopped him from expressing them in the first place. And to make matters worse, her position at the Penmarrow has been filled by another, there’s nowhere for her to live in the village, and her savings are finally dwindling to a pathetic number – with her book still unpublished after her startling discovery about the author helping guide her towards success.
But one thing which hasn’t changed is the drama and excitement at the hotel Penmarrow, where the staff is awaiting inspection from the dreaded owner Ms. Claypool. Stirring up trouble in the meantime is the owner’s special guest ‘Mad Ludwig’, an eccentric architect whose demands are definitely driving everyone on the staff a little crazy. And then there’s the hotel’s mysterious new desk manager, whose behavior ignites Maisie’s suspicions and causes her to become entangled in yet another form of intrigue—one that could unwittingly jeopardize the future of the Penmarrow and everyone who works there, unless Maisie can find a way to undo the harm.
With everything that matters to her most at stake this time, Maisie faces her biggest challenges yet...and her deepest question of the heart as she confronts the reason she returned to Cornwall and the Penmarrow in the first place.

REVIEW:
When I saw that that Laura Briggs has another book out in the A LITTLE HOTEL IN CORNWALL series and I get to visit our aspiring novelist Maisie Clark I was over the moon. I love reading Briggs series - they all have the small town feel, characters that are a hoot to read about, have me laughing out loud for some of the disastrous going-ons in the hotel Penmarrow and of course the right amount of romance that always gives me the feels. Reading Briggs series always puts me in a great mood - easy to read in an afternoon and always a great escape.
This time in A CORNISH DAISY'S KISS - the 6th book in the series, Maisie is back in the shores of Port Hewer in Cornwall. When we left it last, her romance with Sydney is on the rocks - with so much left unsaid about their feelings for each other. Maisie's position at the hotel had been replaced, she still has not published her book and with little left on her savings, Maisie is in a bit of trouble.
As always the hotel is always a place of buzz and this time some intrigue may have the hotel in jeopardy. With an inspection looming from the hotel owner Ms Claypool, and a hard to please guest in the hotel, the challenges at Penmorrow just doesn't seem to end - and I am all here for it.
As I always will, I highly recommend this series. This latest installment is a fun read full of what you come to expect from Laura Briggs, introducing new characters, unending drama in the hotel, some intrigue, and also romance.
Thank you for having me in this amazing book tour.
