Escape to the Scilly Isles, where romance, family, friendship, and second chances combine to create the most lovely relationship story. After burning out at work, Lily is packed off to an isolated retreat where she is forced to reconsider her life. I love reading Phillipa Ashley’s novels, she understands how to deliver a joyously warming hug of a read, whether writing about summer holidays or Christmas festivities. Her books are so wonderfully easy to read and I mean that in the most positive way, you can escape into them and allow the words to carry you away. Lily feels as though she could be a friend, I cared about and wanted the best for her. The sense of place sings, with the Scilly Isles resplendent whether in fog or sunshine and I could picture the crafts and art from the Isles in my minds eye. Kindness and empathy run hand in hand through this novel, along with a message about the importance of sharing and working together, and taking time to consider what is important to you. Second Chance Summer would be a perfect novel to take on holiday, it is a friendly, loving, and beautifully sunshiny read.

Second Chance Summer Synopsis
From the moment Lily Harper arrives at a remote retreat on the breath-taking Scilly Isles, she is itching to get back to civilisation - and her thriving business.
Slowing down simply isn't in her vocabulary, and so she quickly clashes with the gorgeous but dour Sam who runs the retreat.
Just as Lily is about to give up and leave, disaster strikes, and she is involved in an incident that changes her perspective on everything.
Lily is no longer sure she wants to return to the life she thought she loved. But will she have the courage to give the retreat, and Sam, a second chance?
