A Wedding Under the Cornish Sky by Phillipa Ashley

Phillipa Ashley is a number‑one bestselling author of more than thirty romance novels, and having enjoyed several of her previous books, I was really looking forward to this one. A Wedding Under the Cornish Sky has that familiar blend of charm, warmth and gentle escapism she does so well, and it was a pleasure to dive back into her storytelling.

When Zennor was enjoying her dream Cornish wedding to Trev, she was stunned when a very drunk Matt — her first love — appeared to sing at the reception and blurted out that he’d seen Trev kissing one of the waitresses. Five years later, with the marriage long over, Zennor is living alone in St Ives and building a business with her best friend. The last thing she expects is for Matt to return to the area and turn out to be her new landlord — and she’s convinced she hates him for ruining her wedding… doesn’t she?

What really lifts the story is the gorgeous Cornish setting, with its sweeping beaches, rugged cliffs and that soft, golden light that seems to settle over everything. Phillipa Ashley captures the landscape so vividly that you can almost feel the sea breeze and hear the gulls overhead. Against this backdrop, Zennor’s journey feels both tender and hopeful — a gentle, uplifting story about second chances, old feelings that refuse to fade, and the possibility of finding true happiness.
