Love On The Rocks

Reviews of ‘Love On The Rocks’

We found some reviews of ‘Love On The Rocks‘ which was written by my wife Veronica Henry. Great to read on the beach – the novel is set in North Devon.

Closer 8-14 July issue .
‘A riotous summer romp’

Bella 11 July issue
‘This enjoyable seaside romp reminded us of Jilly Cooper in her prime.’ Fed up thirtysomethings Lisa and George buy a rundown guest house on the Devon coast and try to turn it into a trendy hotel. But life and love interfere with their plans.

First 12 July Issue
This is a jolly seaside romp with shades of sadness, a satisfying combination of sex, secrets, colour paint charts and crisp, white cotton sheets – perfect for your beach bag.

Synopsis
Bruno Thorne is the self-crowned king of Mariscombe, a faded seaside resort crammed with chip shops and amusement arcades. But things are on the turn because the resort has been picked as a potential holiday hot-spot. Meanwhile, George Law wants to do for Mariscombe what Rick Stein did for Padstowe (even though he’s not entirely sure what to do with a red mullet) and, thanks to a last minute cock-up by the estate agent, outbids Bruno for the rundown Rocks hotel. At last, he can realise his dream and, with his gorgeous ex-lingerie model girlfriend Lisa at his side, surely nothing can hold him back. But George hasn’t counted on disgruntled locals, infuriating ex-wives, or Bruno Thorne’s apparent interest in Lisa. With another splash hit on her hands, bestselling novelist Veronica Henry moves to the seaside and delivers the perfect holiday read.

About peter

'Death by Sushi' Fish can kill me. When I was very small (maybe 3 or 4 years old) my grandfather, who lost the sight of one eye from a bullet fired by a German sniper (fortunately not a very good one) during the Battle of the Somme in World War 1, wiped my face with the corner of his apron, an apron he had used to wipe his filleting knife on. He was a grocery shopkeeper who specialized in wet fish.
