Miranda Marshall is the property manager of an island castle in Cornwall that she loves. It's her home and after being alone and un-tethered, she feels she's finally found something that won't let her down. Until Jago St. Merryn returns to the castle bringing changes in the air. What's driving him to make such radical changes? And why is Miranda finding him attractive when his presence not only makes her feel many things she hasn't felt in sometime, but also makes her question decisions from her past?Today was quite gloomy and this book was the perfect anecdote. The story is really engrossing. The setting is an island in Cornwall that is based off an actual location, St. Michael's Mount. The descriptions of the locales are so vivid and easy to see in my mind, that I want to be there right now. After all, untamed and natural beauty are things we all enjoy and admire.I felt as if the book flew by. I laughed at Ronnie's antics and some of the situations Miranda got her self into. There were quite a few sympathetic groans, tears, and a few "Really?" moments. I would love to read more about Miranda, Jago, and the rest of the crew at the Mount.It's really simple to see and understand why Miranda's Mount won the best e-book award at The Festival Romance in October 2012. Phillipa Ashley has written another wonderful funny love story that's not just about a man and woman, but also people and the place they call home.
