This is a very contemporary novel with super sharp writing and played out in a quaint, unusual setting. Cornwall makes a great backdrop to this romance and the author created a good atmosphere with not only the landscape but all the historical props too, which contrasted well with the modern feel. An unusual setting, in that our heroine works for a Cornish estate which happens to be a rocky mount, accessible only by a causeway.Old lady Merryn decides to sell up, and all seems lost; but then handsome son Jago, returns to oversee the sale. Can Miranda persuade him to embrace not only his rightful inheritance, but maybe herself too?On the one hand, this has all the expected ingredients of the chick lit genre, but on the other, it is so much more. This is very much a lighthearted, funny book but it is also very grown-up. It is sexy, cheeky and edgy. And there is another layer under the humour too, which gives the main players some depth and adds another dimension to the plot.I admit I was initially a little put off by the cover and the title of this book, and for me, it began a little on the slow side. But the quality of the writing whisked me past all of the that, and the sexual tension was kept fizzing almost to the very end.Very enjoyable and a very big beefy 4 star rating for me.
