No Room at the Little Cornish Inn – Book Review

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The question is now, is it his pride that hurts, or is his heart still aching?” Here I am again, singing the praises of another rom-com which I always claim is not my favourite genre. This one is more perfect than I could imagine and I already want to read it all…
