9/8/2020 RETURN TO CORNWALL by Laura Briggs

 


Return to Cornwall The sequel novel to the best-selling UK series A WEDDING IN CORNWALL brings new surprises, romance, humor, and wedding bells, to readers who fell in love with the first stories. 

 Busy mother of two Julianne Rose has extended her talents beyond the manor house, opening her own event planning agency with the help of no-nonsense best friend Kitty. Balancing the chaos of daily life with their respective careers in their beloved Cornish village means Julianne can rarely snatch a romantic moment with handsome husband Matt. And just when it seems things couldn’t get any more chaotic, a sudden arrival at Cliffs House lands Julianne in the most unusual event of her career. 

The reappearance of Percy or ‘the old earl’ after years of adventures abroad has temporarily shocked Lord William and Lady Amanda and set the entire village abuzz with gossip. Grizzled, spry, and delightfully eccentric, he’s returned with a most unusual set of traveling companions: an archaeological team digging in a spot whispered to have ties with the legendary Camelot. But it’s Percy’s ties with a certain charming woman among its team that has everyone taken by surprise, along with the news of their soon-to-be nuptials. 

Tasked with planning the big day, Julianne and Kitty spring at this opportunity despite its rushed timeline and their own woes regarding the renovation of their future event space. But as the big day rolls closer for the earl and his bride-to-be – with cakes and wedding flowers competing with pottery shards and an ancient warrior chieftain’s grave for attention -- are there still surprising revelations to come? 

Adding to the excitement is the return of former Cliffs House maid Gemma, whose posh new life as a novelist may not be all it seems … and Dinah visits in a flurry of festive baking for a holiday competition on everyone’s favorite baking show. Kitty’s life is in a tizz regarding both family and secrets … and Julianne’s happy marriage is challenged by an unwelcome sexy-and-persistent suitor among the summer visitors. Filled with old friends, new adventures, and heartwarming Cornish charm, RETURN TO CORNWALL is an all-new, full-length novel—the first one ever to feature the characters from the original series! 


THOUGHTS/MY REVIEW:

I was so excited to have read another book by one of my favorites, Laura Briggs. Briggs really knows the way to my heart, and that is giving me more Cornwall and the characters I have loved in the previous installments. I am super joyful to be coming back to this series, and love to see Julianne with Matt her love of her life, and now with two adorable bundles of joy in their lovely cottage. In RETURN TO CORNWALL, I love seeing Julianne's life - the good, the struggles, and every little detail is just so fantastic. 

Briggs writing always puts me in a great mood. Her writing transports me to the life of this family, the community, the village and all comings and goings. There is that familiarity like visiting old friends and catching up with their lives that is so enjoyable. Thank you for the opportunity to read this fantastic series.
