Ohhh I've been wanting to put this up for ages!! (Especially cause of the question below) BUT If you haven't heard of this book before do not panic! I know for a fact you'll love it! :)
Book Bio:
Celia Summers loves her job as an art therapist at The Harbour Rest Home, even if her partner, Martin, is disparaging of her efforts.
Martin, a solicitor, made speculative investments and needs to get his hands on his mother’s assets, her home, Charlton Hall, to bail himself out of debt. In order to sell the house, he has to get Rosemary re-housed at The Harbour Rest Home and tries to get Celia on his side with a fabrication of lies.
Meanwhile, Celia fights for gallery space for her charges’ artwork, and to keep The Harbour from being closed.
Police Constable Alex Burrows, son of Colonel Burrows, comes to her rescue when she crashes her car. Alex turns out to be considerate and caring with a witty, wicked, sense of humour, which makes Celia laugh, though when she learns of the circumstances surrounding his the loss of his wife, she wants to cry. She ignores his reputation as a womaniser. His trying to influence his father’s Will though, she can’t. Alex, who little by little has stolen her heart, appears to be just as much a liar as Martin.
Despite all efforts, The Harbour is doomed to closure. Celia decides to take Rosemary home and forestall Martin’s plan to sell Charlton Hall. Celia is soon joined by the rest of her elderly independents, who rally together to stop Martin evicting them. Colonel Burrows is ready to thrash the enemy to death with his walking stick when his son arrives in his uniform. Alex explains that Colonel Burrows is the buyer of Charlton Hall and finally does what he’s been trying to do for ages: ask Celia to marry him.

Haw, haw, beats carving it in a tree, Mandy. #madewithlove Awww, bless. :) Thanks for stopping by! :) xx
DeleteJeeez, I've never given a romantic gift, my ex wasn't worth it and my man doesn't appreciate. If I could give it would be to take him away to a hotel for a romantic weekend in the country. He'd be happy as long as he could watch cricket or rugby. Ha Ha.
ReplyDeleteAnd if he got to watch the cricket or rugby, he'd love you more than his team. I know what you mean, Kit. Closest my man ever came to blinking romantically at me was when I took hot mulled wine in a flask to a boxing day rugby match. Should we trade them in, do you think? Um, maybe not. Not sure a new model would be any better! Thanks so much for stopping by! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've done anything particularly romantic, did once book 4 days in Rome as a birthday surprise. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteThat counts! Um, but you did book it for someone else other than yourself, right? Nice one, Sue! Did he appreciate it though? My man (self-employed) would probably say, but what about work?! Or the rugby fixture? Then I might have to kill him. Eeek, can this be used as intention to...?
ReplyDeleteI think 4 days in Rome is an amazingingly romantic gesture!! Unless Sue went with her best friend and it was a girlie party... love that cover Sheryl!
