Starry autumn nights are bringing a rare celestial event and exciting new guests to the shores of the sleepy hotel Penmarrow.
Maisie is happy to be back among its staff, even with the question of its future ownership still in the air and the fate of her unpublished manuscript soon to be in the hands of London acquisitions editors. More than anything else, she’s happy to finally be in a relationship with Sidney Daniels, the sparks between them no longer denied. She’s excited for the future and things couldn’t be better with regards to romance … except for those lingering little questions about Sidney’s uncertain past, that is.
Meanwhile, the staff at the Penmarrow is tasked with hosting a special celestial conference where stargazers are gathering for a glimpse of the much-anticipated comet. The ever-timid maid Molly is flustered by the return of charming astronomer George and seems to need a little advice on how to rekindle the spark they shared last autumn. Hotel porters Gomez and Riley vie for the attentions of a mysterious female guest, the eccentric ‘Megs’ Buntly pays another visit, and a dramatic revelation about someone on staff will leave Maisie and everyone else reeling from the unexpected news. Is this the moment for the revelation Maisie has been waiting for since her Cornish journey began?
Brimming with humor, romance, and the kind of surprises its fans have come to expect, the seventh book in the series brings a twist at the end that’s sure to leave readers excited — and anxious — for the conclusion of Maisie’s original gorgeous Cornish adventure.
About the Author:
Laura Briggs is the author of several feel-good romance reads, including the Top 100 Amazon UK seller ‘A Wedding in Cornwall’. She has a fondness for vintage style dresses (especially ones with polka dots), and reads everything from Jane Austen to modern day mysteries. When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, caring for her pets, gardening, and seeing the occasional movie or play.
A Stargazy Night Sky Review:
Maisie’s adventures continues in the 7th book of this series, and it was a sweet read.
This was a charming book that made me smile, laugh out loud, and had a feel-good factor to it. There are many scenes that stood out in the story. For instance, I laughed out loud when we learn of Norman’s secret. The author also wrote Maisie’s rejection in a realistic manner. Also, I liked the action scene where Sidney saves someone that spiced up the story.
Moreover, Maisie is just charming in the lead. She is one of those characters who has amazing chemistry with all the other characters. I loved her relationship with Sidney and all the book references they share. Similarly, I also liked her friendship with Dean and the emotional bond they have for art and literature. Heck, I even like her scenes with Ronnie, as they reminisced their old life. The supporting characters are also adorable, like Molly and George.
However, the book was lengthy at times, and I wish some parts were omitted. For instance, there is a chapter where Maisie writes about Tam’s fictional adventures, which I felt was unnecessary. Also, a few questions raised in the previous novel, like the takeover of Penmarrow, was explained in just a few sentences towards the end of the book. On a side note, I didn’t see much of Sonia or Riley, who I enjoyed from the previous novel.
But, apart from that, this was a nice book to read! The book resolves most of the questions raised in the previous novel, which is good. Moreover, it also ends in a shocking way. I look forward to reading the final installment to see how this charming series concludes.
