A modern-day fairytale… yes, please!

Freddie Highgrove and Jasmine Walker were once engaged. Now ten years later, they are matched via the elite M Dating Agency and their blind date is a week-long break at a tropical paradise resort… the same location they'd planned to have as their honeymoon before their relationship fell apart...

When Freddie saw Jasmine...when Jasmine realised Freddie was her date; the awkward comments, foot-in-mouth remarks… and suspicions. The emotional highs and lows are heartfelt as the pair navigate their current surroundings yet, the old feelings for each other are still there… as if they never went away at all…only their priorities and life goals have shifted…as harsh truths are navigated.

The back story tells of how the two originally got together… the jarring discrepancy in their differing social status. However, during the intervening time, they are now equal, at least in wealth. So, after ten years, Is it possible for the former housekeeper's daughter to gain acceptance into the Highgrove family?

Happy endings are hard-fought and Jas and Freddie's follows a well-trodden bumpy path. Second-chance romance is one of my favourite tropes and Ms Stewart has written a wonderful story set against the contrasting backdrops of The Seychelles and Edinburgh. The narrative is escapism at its finest with exotic locations, rich protagonists, wise words and just a hint of calculated intervention and of course a happily-ever-after!

Readers familiar with this author will delight at this new novel and for those who have yet to discover the wonderful stories she creates… take a chance… they won't disappoint. As for Surprise Reunion With His Cinderella, prepare to be swept away in a whirlwind of romance!

Rachael Stewart adores conjuring up stories for the readers of Harlequin Mills & Boon and Deep Desires Press, with tales varying from the heartwarmingly romantic to the wildly erotic.

She's been writing since she could put pen to paper as the stacks of scrawled on A4 sheets in her loft will attest to, and the lovingly bound short stories that her father would run off at work and proudly share out with his colleagues. Thinking it was a pipe dream to be published one day, she pursued a sensible career in business but she was really play-acting, achieving the appropriate degree and spending many years in the corporate world where she never truly belonged. Always happiest when she was sat at her laptop in the quiet hours tapping out a story or two. And so here she is, a published author, her full-time pleasure, a dream come true.

A Welsh lass at heart, she now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and three children, and if she's not glued to her laptop, she's wrapped up in them or enjoying the great outdoors seeking out inspiration.

When the man accidentally leaves the engagement ring behind, Ruby is determined to save the day. But she hasn't counted on fellow passenger Curtis stepping in and insisting he should be the one to track the stranger down.   
 
As summer closes in, the unlikely pair make a promise to reunite the ring with its owner. But can they find their own happy ever after along the way?

A summertime read to put a smile on your face!

Ruby Edwards' jaded after dating too many losers so when she sits next to a man on a train who reveals his plan to propose to his girlfriend, her belief in romance is restored… until the man disappears from the train… with her phone. Only, Ruby finds the engagement ring under her seat, determined to reunite it with its owner. However, the passenger sitting nearby has conflicting ideas on how to tackle the evolving situation…

Ruby's friend, Kim runs a florists' shop and is single too. She also wants some romance in her life, but her situation turns on its head when someone from her past shows up unexpectedly!

This is my first Bella Osborne novel and it's a delight. Included are numerous plot lines, yet the narrative flows seamlessly, as we follow Ruby on her journey to a happily ever after. Expect highs and lows along the way creating a story that's both heart-warming and heartfelt. Prepare to laugh out loud and shed a tear or two as she, along with Kim confront life issues head-on as they venture along paths of discovery, in the search for love.

The award for the most unlikely romantic hero goes to Curtis. He's the perfect match for bubbly and vibrant Ruby, in his own unique way. He's socially awkward; a planner who feels more comfortable with a spreadsheet. He's the voice of reason, both diluting and complementing Ruby's impulsive actions. Together, they make an adorable couple in an unconventional way.

The secondary characters are an eclectic mix of loveable and rogue as well as the addition of the four-legged canine variety called Boomerang! Blended together, they all contribute to the emotional catalogue of events and the eventual satisfying results.

To sum up, The Promise Of Summer is a delightful and engaging novel and a perfect summer read.
