Ever since the Byrne sisters – Ariana, Aster, Clem, Paddy and Nic – discovered they were heiresses to the vast Hiverton fortune, their lives have never been the same. No longer living in poverty in London, they now own an estate in Norfolk, a castle in Scotland and a picturesque village in Cornwall.
When sensitive Paddy, the baby of the family despite her successful career as a model, swaps the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week for the cobbled lanes of Tregisky on the beautiful Cornish coast, it’s time for her to stand on her own two feet.
Soon, she’s settled in her new home of Cockleshell Cottage overlooking the wild surf, the seals her closest companions.
And when she meets ex-soldier Hal, she’s instantly smitten. Funny, considerate, and not to mention drop dead gorgeous, he’s perfect in every way apart from one – he’s engaged. But after a misunderstanding brings the two together in ways they couldn’t have imagined, it seems like they might just change each other’s lives.
Will Paddy fall in love with more than just the glorious blue skies of Cornwall? Or are there storm clouds gathering ahead?

Cornish Dreams at Cockleshell Cottage Review:
This book is so entertaining. Charming characters, quirky scenarios, an enchanting backdrop, and a heart-warming romance made this a delightful romcom to read.
Even though I haven’t read the previous book in the series, I didn’t have any problems reading this as a standalone. The author did a wonderful job in diving right into the story. There are so many surprising situations that Paddy and Hal find themselves in. There are shocking revelations which I did not see coming, and that made this story so addictive. Moreover, I loved the beautiful backdrop of the idyllic village. The author describes the cottage and their residents so nicely that made me feel like I was living there.
Paddy and Hal are wonderful as the leads. Poor Paddy! She is just thrown from one situation to another, and hardly has time to adjust her lifestyle. Nevertheless, I loved Paddy and thought she fit the role perfectly. She is very interesting and complex than what I initially assumed. As an ex-model, I felt she would be haughty and overconfident like Bianca. But surprisingly, she is very sweet, and awkward and isn’t confident in public. Speaking of Bianca, I just loved to hate her! I really liked Hal as well but felt like I didn’t really know much about his background. Although he provides snippets of his time in the war, we don’t see how it impacted him. There were also a few supporting characters like Beryl and Jemima who I felt could have been more prominent.
Overall, this book was so much fun to read that made me order the first book to see how it started. I love Paddy’s bond with her sisters and cannot wait for the next book in the series!
