Summer Strawberries at Swallowtail Bay (Swallowtail Bay book 2) by Katie Ginger (2020)

Description

'Seaside, strawberries and a sexy hero – what's not to love?' Mandy Baggot, author of My Greek Island Summer

Hetty Colman loves her life in the cosy seaside town of Swallowtail Bay, organising children’s birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. But after her recent break up from long-term boyfriend Ben, she’s been searching for something new.

So, when Hetty overhears locals wondering how to return the old strawberry festival to its former glory, she jumps at the chance to relaunch it. There are just two problems – she only has four weeks to organise it and absolutely nowhere to host it!

When Hetty manages to convince the aloof, yet extremely handsome, John Thornhill to use the grounds of his rundown manor, things start to look up. But as Hetty and John grow closer and Ben tries to win back her affections, can Hetty make the festival and her love life run smoothly at the same time?

Fans of Rachael Lucas, Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan will fall in love with this hilarious summer read from Katie Ginger!

Readers LOVE Summer Strawberries at Swallowtail Bay!

‘I wish I could give this book more than five stars, this is definitely my favourite of Katie's books to date.’ *****

‘Hetty is a dynamo! I enjoyed having a heroine who knew her goals, set them, and goes after them.’ *****

‘An absolute pleasure to read, I loved delving into these pages and was smiling as I reached the end.’ *****

‘Sheer delightful escapist fun.’

A warm, feel-good romance. Hetty and John are adorable and I couldn't wait to see them end up together. I felt very invested in their first joint entrepreneurial venture and I really wanted it to succeed, especially as John's family estate was at stake and his parents were fragile. There was great chemistry between John and Hetty right from the beginning and despite them having their own admirers they secretly became infatuated with one another. It was a lovely slow-burn romance and I was sorry when the book was over.  The subplot concerning Hetty's parents was great. I loved those two! and hope to see more from older characters like them in the rest of the series.
