Today it’s my stop on the *Coming Home to Penvennan Cove blog tour. A tale of friendship, and love in Cornwall. You all know I love a book set in my beautiful home county!
Book Description
Can Kerra’s Cornish hometown offer the fresh start she needs?
When Kerra left the quiet Cornish town of Penvennan Cove for the bright lights of London she didn’t look back. But after the death of her mother, she’s decided it’s time to face her past and return to the place she called home. Her father needs her, and perhaps she needs him more than she’s willing to admit?
Tackling town gossip, home renovations and a flame from her past, it’s not quite smooth sailing for Kerra. Ross is the bad boy she was meant to forget, not a man who still sets her heart aflutter. As he helps bring her dream home to life, they begin to break down the barriers that have been holding them back and in the process learn things about themselves they never thought possible.
As friends old and new come together, the future in Penvennan looks bright.
Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Phillipa Ashley and Julie Houston.
What I Thought
Coming Home to Penvennan Cove is a lovely novel about friendship, and love. Kerra has been through a tough time losing her mother so decides to sell up her business and leave her busy London life and go home. Return back to Cornwall to her dad.
Like most small towns, everyone knows everyone’s business and gossip is rife. This is something Kerra has to get used to. Kerra moves into a quaint cottage inherited from her grandma and just opposite her dad. Her next-door neighbour Drew wants to renovate his cottage and gets Kerra on board to do hers at the same time. When builder Ross comes on the scene, sparks begin to fly between the two. This isn’t for a little while into the story though.
I love the way this book builds the characters. Kerra reconnects with her old childhood friend and builds new relationships. There is a huge sense of community spirit in the cove. I live in a village with a community just like this. Everyone is always ready to give a hand!
The author tells us this story from Kerra’s point of view, so it took me a little while to get into as I don’t read a huge amount of stories in the first person. But you do get into how she’s feeling and know what she thinks! It flows along nicely as a story and one to read on a wet Cornish afternoon!

I’d love to go to Land’s End, I’ve been to Cornwall lots of times in the past but never got that far
I love Cornwall, especially St Ives
I’d like to visit Newquay as I haven’t been for many years.
I would love to go to Penzance
I’d like to visit Penzance.
I love Fowey and always try to visit when we’re in the area
I’ve never been to Cornwall but I’d love to visit Liskeard. Researching family history I discovered my great grandad was killed in a copper mine accident there after which his family moved to Northumberland and my grandad became a coal miner.
Would love to visit Penzance and Lands End 🙂
The Yorkshire Dales
Looks like a lovely book.
I would love to visit Clovelly again – last time I was 8m pregnant, which really did help keep me fit!!
Love books set in Cornwall
I’d love to visit Penzance
Great prize
St Ives
Truro Cathedral. My Great Great Grandfathers name is on the walls inside with the names of many from the area that died in the war. I saw it as a child but would love to see it again and pay my respects.
Kynance Cove is beautiful i would love to go back
Love it
I would love to visit Tintagel again amazing place and so many other places I’d love to revisit
would love to go back to Bodmin
I would love to visit the Eden Project, I visited it in the early days but would love to go back again,
I’d like to visit Padstow for the foodie experience – when my husband’s family lived in Cornwall they were in Penzance so we always sped past that part of the county and even now when we head to Cornwall for holidays, it’s always to the areas he has fond childhood memories of so there’s a lot of the county we’ve not explored.
This sounds like a wonderful feel good read. We do love to visit Cornwall.
I love to visit Tintagel
I haven’t visited Cornwall since I was a child so I would love to go back. I’d love to visit St Ives the most I think
A big ‘thank you’ for being on the tour, Rachel, and for your lovely review – much appreciated! I think so many people dream of living in Cornwall but have to make do with visiting. I love Cornwall in winter, too… awesome!
