A Wedding in Cornwall #6
A Castle in Cornwall
Just when everything is finally perfect for Julianne, a sudden request has her helpless in the face of giving up the life she loves most. The only thing distracting her from the future is her current a secret royal wedding at a southern Cornish castle, where Lord William's cousin needs all the available help she can find to ensure its success. Now Julianne and the rest of Cliffs House's staff — including special guests Pippa and Dinah — are helping bring together a English royal cousin and a European prince for their special day ... only Julianne finds herself drawn into the event more deeply than she intended when she becomes the accidental confident of the bride-to-be's secret dilemma. Will Julianne's advice save a royal wedding from disaster? Or will her personal life — and the dilemma she and Matt are facing at the end of the summer — stand in the way of happily-ever-after?

At first I thought this might be the last book in the series, as the author threw so much into another short novella. However, I can see there are others, so I'll just say too much was included in this one. Once again we have alternating POV between Julianne and Kitty (and I do like Kitty!).
In addition to learning quickly that Julianne and Matt are leaving Cornwall and going to Seattle so that Julianne can run her friend's business while she recovers from surgery. They're only supposed to be gone for a few months, but Julianne is distraught about leaving Cornwall, and seems to think it might be forever. This would be enough for a short story/novella.
However, we also have Julianne and many others from Cliffs House heading off to run a secret low-level royal wedding at a castle. Then, almost immediately we learn the prospective bride seems reluctant and unenthusiastic about the wedding. Again, this would be enough.
But no, we have Kitty trying out for a part in a local acting company's production (which is a nice change for Kitty, and would definitely be enough). her relationship with Nathan is moving along very slowly, and they seem to break up for awhile.
It was just too much for a short story! I really like these characters, like the setting, but too much was crammed in.

A Castle in Cornwall is a bit too predictable to my taste, even for a romantic novel

If I wasn't aware of book 7 in this series about to be published, I would be saying that this is a fabulous conclusion to the series. If feels like a lot of the loose ends from the previous books have been tied up, and even the message to the reader at the start of the book implies that the next one will feel a bit different.
In fact already A Castle in Cornwall had a slightly different feel to it, partly as it wasn't really set at Cliff House, but in a castle elsewhere in Cornwall, and features far too much of a royal wedding, and a cast of characters involved in that, that I really didn't care for.
I was far more interested in Julianne and Kitty's character and story development, than the main event being planned. In fact I found I was loving Kitty's sections a lot, even if the play her community theatre group was putting on, really wasn't to my taste.
This is another good novella in the series, and although I wasn't keen on the characters involved in planning the royal wedding, I did start to like the bride and Julianne's interactions, especially when Julianne stumbles across something she isn't meant to know.
As a fan of the series it was great to see Dinah and Pippa both return to help out with this wedding, as well as seeing all the recurring characters. We also have the first introduction to the new chef at Cliffs House, and I wonder just where he will fit into future books.
This was not my favourite book in the series, but it still adds to the series, and draws some series story arcs to a more rounded finish.
Thank you to Laura Briggs for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

This is the 6th book in the series. I've read the previous ones and I would say this is not really a stand alone book. Having said that the reader quickly gets drawn into the life and characters at Cefylgwyn.
Julianne receives a plea from Aimee, her best friend back in America to run her business while she has and recovers from surgery. Julianne loves her job as event planner and is torn between being loyal to her friend and her heart. Matt her husband is happy to go along with whatever she wants to do.
In the meantime, Kitty, Julianne's assistant is finding her feet with the local am-dram group. Nathan her "possible" boyfriend is still on the scene with them both denying how they feel about each other to themselves.
The team are called upon to work their magic on a loosly royal wedding in a castle in Penzance. Obviously there are hitches along the way.
It was lovely to be reunited with the characters. The book finishes far too quickly, leaving me waiting for the next instalment.

A Castle in Cornwall
I enjoyed reading this book and have read them all in this series. I wasn't too keen on the fact that it keeps going from one person or place to another. I like a book to run continuously with a plot and people but still enjoyed the books.

This book was read in two halves, I intended to break off to read a Christmas novel in the gap, but instead, I got caught up with watching Vlogmas Youtube videos.
I enjoyed the book enough to get the second set books 7 to 12 which I will start reading in the not too distant future.

Book 6 in this continuing series. Enjoyable story. I especially liked how this book told the story from Julianne’s and Kitty’s perspective.

I enjoyed the first couple of books in this series. The next couple of books felt like the endings were rushed. This book felt like I was reading a cheesy Hallmark movie. Not really my preference.
