Happy Tuesday all!

A Little Hotel in Cornwall
Struggling American waitress and aspiring novelist Maisie Clark dreams of becoming a full-time writer — even though in real life she’s just lost her chance at an exclusive writer’s mentorship program that would give her novel its big break. Desperate, she decides to take a chance and ask her favourite writer, a celebrated but reclusive English novelist, to help her find a second chance.
When she receives the author’s reply in an envelope with a Cornish postmark, Maisie decides not to take the writer’s half-hearted ‘no’ for an answer. With nothing to lose, she takes off for the author’s last known location, a beautiful hotel on Cornwall’s western coast. But when the hotel mistakes her for the latest applicant for a maid’s position, Maisie finds herself given an opportunity too good to lose … and a chance for a summer adventure far bigger than she ever imagined.
Surrounded by breathtaking Cornwall and working in an elegant hotel, Maisie’s world becomes one of secret identities, quirky friends, and unintentional mishaps — and despite reminders of past relationship disasters, a certain handsome, charming local resident Sidney Daniels has her conflicted about her heart’s desires, too.
Will Maisie find the chance she’s been waiting for — and a possible new romance — in her perfect Cornish summer?
My Thoughts
A fun uplifting feel good story, the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Laura Briggs writes short sweet Novellas that pack a powerful punch. This is the first book in a brand new series that looks like it’s going to be quite delightful. I mean seriously how can you go wrong with the lovely setting of Cornwall. Someday I will make it there, in the meantime I will visit vicariously through books.
Maisie is an aspiring author. When she finds herself without a mentor for a prestigious writing program she packs her stuff up and heads to Cornwal in order to convince her favorite author to mentor her. When she gets there she finds herself at a beautiful hotel and is mistaken for a maid. What ensues is a fun story of mistaken identity, quirky characters, old loves and new opportunities. Maisie was a great character and I enjoyed watching her navigate some pretty precarious situations.
The perfect start to a new series, 117 pages of pure delight!
