Summary

When Lisa Jones and her boyfriend, George, take on the run-down Rocks Hotel, they aim to do for Mariscombe what Rick Stein did for Padstow and set up a chic maritime retreat. But renovating a hotel is about more than stripped wooden floors and Egyptian cotton sheets, particularly when the locals are shifty and unhelpful. Especially Bruno Thorne, the tall, dark, and surly owner of the nearby Mariscombe Hotel, where life is one long holiday - for the staff, anyway. Amid the sandcastles and surf, passions run high as ghosts of the past come out of the freshly painted woodwork. A little midsummer madness leaves Mariscombe's inhabitants floating on a tide of infatuation.....Sending some of them rather too close to the rocks.

A lovely feel good story.

A very enjoyable story. Lots of twists & turns, but having said that I did guess them & guessed the outcome very early on, but nevertheless I did enjoy it & I loved the characters & particularly liked the way the author described the places, I could close my eyes & imagine myself being there.
It’s a lovely summer read.

Unputdownable

A wonderful story, brilliantly read. Difficult to put down and with a happy, but expected, ending.

Great book well performed

I loved this book, just a great antidote to a miserable January. Just wish there was a sequel!

Wonderful listen and read beautifully

I simply love this story and Jilly Bond is an excellent reader, with lots of different "voices". The story is unusual and amusing and the writer creates beautiful pictures in the head, her descriptions are so good. I wonder what other books she has written.

Lovely lighthearted, easy listen.

I really enjoyed love on the Rocks, some of it a little predictable, but a few twists and turns. Very easy to listen to well narrated, and found myself looking forward to the next instalment. Worth a listen.

Excellent Summer Read

Another excellent read from this author. Well read but some of the character voices were similar not that that detracted from the story. Well described scenery and believable story line.
