Title: Sunset on the Square
She never thought she’d love again...
In her late 50s and having lived in Tenerife for over 15 years, there’s not much on the island that can surprise widowed Elspeth. Until her hotelier friend asks her to put up a guest after they’ve overbooked – and handsome Charles is suddenly staying in very close quarters.
Long buried emotions are coming back to life.
Devastated by the death of her husband four years ago, Elspeth isn’t open to new romance. Yet something about Charles pulls her in, and they grow closer together. But Charles’ holiday is drawing to a close, and Elspeth needs to decide what she really wants – and how to get it.
The perfect holiday romance for fans of Holly Martin, Sue Moorcroft and Mandy Baggot.
I really am loving this Island Romance series from Lilac Mills. Each book is a standalone completely unrelated to the others, with the exception of the setting, they all so far are set in Tenerife. And amazingly all in small remote parts of the Island that the average tourist probably hasn't visited.
And it's always refreshing to read a book featuring slightly older than the average age of rom com main characters, proving once again that new love can strike you no matter your age.
Elspeth has been widowed for 4 years and still talks to Ray regularly. She has no desire to move on, and believes she is happy as she is. But when she does a favour for her friends and takes in Charles after a hotel overbooking, just for a few days, little does she know just how much her world is going to change.
It was so sweet seeing Elspeth's reactions to Charles and the re-awakening of long dormant feelings. I also loved the various walks and hikes they went on together, partly just as I'm impressed how fit they both are at their age (I know I wouldn't be able to do half of what they did),
I love how through this book you get to see a different side to life in Tenerife, to the typical expat stomping grounds, and I can't help but think that this story will do wonders for tourism in Tenerife for those wanting more of an active walking / cycling holiday. Well once real life travel is safe again, in the mean time it was fabulous to read some armchair travel.
It's gentle, its touching and its just a simply lovely romance, with a wonderful setting that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you to Canelo and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
