ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I would love! I'm adding it to my wish list. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much for sappy romances either but being transported to a Cornish village would be wonderful. I fell in love with this cover when I first saw it too. It's just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover on this one too, but I'm not much for sappy...
