I am not a fan of Romances in general and there is no denying that this is one, but it has a bit more to it than just boy meets girl, falls in love, overcomes some sort of obstacle and ends up happily ever after.Firstly it is written by a male author which always gives things a different slant. Secondly it is set in Cornwall which is one of my favourite places in the world. And then it is written in such a pleasant, easy way which makes reading it a pleasure. It does go a bit crazy at times with...
A light read for rainy days and Sunday afternoons. A fairly predictable romance storyline that I didn’t really feel too bothered by one way or another however I did like the scenery descriptions of Cornwall.
An interesting and lively little read with good character studies and lovely descriptions of Cornwall and the sea. A bit predictable but an good read.
I liked this book, though it was predictable etc. Love the Cornish setting and Characters. A nice, quick, don't have to think too much read.
The lighthouse is being automated, so Will and the other lighthouse keepers are out of a job. Will has an ambition to sail around the coast of the UK, so he buys a boat and does her up. But other events take over his plans. I really enjoyed this book; it's a light read, with some suspense and a few interwoven storylines to give it some depth and substance. There are some great characters and a few surprises.
A very comfortable novel (not in a bad sense at all!) to read when you feel you need a simple tale of new beginnings. I loved the main character except for a while near the end. There's an effort to properly characterize the protagonist's love interest, but it's not always achieved completely. The small-town environment contributes to a sense of coziness; and if you like boats, you're in for a treat.I agree with the cover: this novel is indeed nautical but nice.
Beautiful story. Found it by accident at a used book sale. Boats, English coast, smuggling and the search for contentment and happiness
Absolute tripe. It didnt even get to the 'Bad Sex' bit.
Retired lighthouse keeper buys a boat to sail around England, but falls in love.
Will, former lighthouse keeper prepares to sail around the British coastline and fulfill his lifetime ambition. He finds a boat but then life in Cornwall stalls him.
Meh. The first two-thirds were all right, but the final third was pretty rubbish. I usually adore anything to do with the seaside, but this fell pretty flat on its face by the end. Shame.
Nice holiday read, enjoyed all the boaty bits. Bit weird reading sex scenes knowing Alan Titchmarsh wrote it... felt awkward, like your grandpa had written it and embarrassed to be reading it!
Easy and quick read. Life after a lighthouse is automated.
I think Alan's best novel. Good story well told.
