A Rose Petal Summer
A Rose Petal Summer: It’s never too late to fall in love | Katie Fforde
4 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
_______________________________ The brand new heart-warming romance from the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Country Escape and A Secret Garden. _______________________________ IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FALL IN LOVE... Caro Swanson has taken a job in a remote part of Scotland. She’s answered an ad in The Lady: being a companion to an elderly gentleman who lives in a country estate could be perfect! Surely it's time to make a change and do something different for a while? The fact that she may also see Alec, the young man who she met some years previously and who she has always thought of as her ‘one who got away’, is of course purely incidental. Soon Caro is falling in love - not only with Alec but with the stunning country house she's now living in. But the estate is in financial difficulties, and Caro soon realises there's only one way to rescue it. So begins a magical romantic summer, one that will take Caro from Scotland to London and the south of France, in search of a classic lost perfume that might just restore all their fortunes. Romance, humour, a cast of warm and totally believable characters and the tantalising possibility of happily-ever-after? It must be a Katie Fforde novel. _______________________________ The whole world loves Katie Fforde's work: "Modern-day Austen. Great fun" Red "Top-drawer romantic escapism" Daily Mail "Warm, brilliant and full of love" Heat "Effortlessly lovable, warm and fun" Closer "Deliciously enjoyable" Woman and Home "Delicious - gorgeous humour and the lightest of touches" Sunday Times "Uplifting and delightful" Hot Brands Cool Places

I'm so done with this author. I've read a few of hers now and they don't work for me. In fact I'd go as far as to say, what a load of rubbish.

There's so many romances in this book and they are all as flat as a pancake.

The main romance between Caro and Alec is ridiculous. There's no chemistry here and even less romance, both characters felt one dimensional and weren't fleshed out at all.

One star.

Easy book to read, bit of a typical story like but to be expected with this sort of book!

My first read from this author and won‘t be my last. A lovely heartwarming read full of charm. Great to enjoy over a lazy weekend.
