*A Fun Read*

This is a lovely light read and just what I needed after reading some fast paced thrillers. The main character Clara has to step up when her boss leaves her in charge because she has to leave the country to sort out her mother’s marital problems. This hotel is set in Dorset and the surroundings sound wonderful.

Well, just as Clara is finding her feet, things change when the hotel is hit by a catalogue of problems and issues. It soon becomes apparent that a saboteur is at work, someone is using pranks in order create bad press in order to sully their reputation, who is behind it and why?

While she is busy trying to work out who the culprit is, there are domestic problems with her grandparents, misunderstandings, undesired press and the possibility of love on the horizon. Not to mention a great cast of characters, will she be able to turn it around before her boss returns?…

A very easy read , I could really imagine the setting which they quote “We are here to help you make your dreams come true”.’

5☆ An Uplifting, Heart Warming, Fun and Charming story, Perfect Read for a lil bit of Escapism!

Clara is the manager of The Bluebell Cliff for last 3 months.
Kate owns it, but she has just had some bad news & needs to go home to Australia to be with her mum.
She trusts no one else and asks Clara if she will look after and run the The Bluebell Cliff, for her whilst shes gone.

Kate offers Clara to Bungalow Sit and look after her 3 legged Fur Baby Foxy too. As she will be closer to work & it won't disrupt or upset Foxy. Clara jumps at the chance to help out... I mean how hard could it possibly be?

Sunshine Over Bluebell Cliff is such a wonderfully uplifting, heartwarming and charming story, the perfect book to whisk away a lil escapism.
It has a lil bit of mystery, plenty of drama, shenanigans, dilemmas, twists, humour and a dash of Romance but most of all oodles of charm.
The Bluebell Cliff is quaint yet grand and Della creates the perfect ambience, I wish I could visit as I would love to experience all it has to offer.
The characters are an eclectic bunch and so well written.
I just want to give a special mention to how beautiful the book cover is.
I love Della Galton's books and once again she has written an absolute Gem. I really hope there will be more from The Bluebell Cliff Hotel!

Part women’s lit, part mystery; Sunshine Over Bluebell Cliff was a wonderful read!

I enjoyed the scenery of Bluebell Cliff, the whimsical cast of characters and the sublime story of a woman going through trials in all areas of her life.

I was thoroughly impressed with the author’s voice as I was immersed in the imagery of the coastal town. The characters were all written well and the ending was especially rewarding.

Della Galton is another must-read for me!

Do you know, I’ve decided I might have a bit of a “thing” about books set in or around hotels – I find all the behind-the-scenes stuff absolutely fascinating. And I really loved the Bluebell Cliff Hotel, “here to help you make your dreams come true” – all the interactions between its staff (every one beautifully drawn), the near calamities kept invisible from their guests, the fact that they catered for special interest groups and how that worked (or just sometimes didn’t), the honeymoon suite in the lighthouse (and the way it becomes a focus for one of the “leaks” that drive the sabotage story), even the sweepstake to discover Mr B’s full name (and when revealed, it was everything I wanted it to be). And then there’s the other hotel – only a stone’s throw away – and its owners, the Greenwood brothers, who might just not be too delighted about the Bluebell Cliff’s success, as their own business dwindles.

Clara’s an excellent character as the story’s focus – taking over the reins at short notice, handling a succession of challenging situations that threaten the hotel’s reputation while wrestling with her own life disappointments and all that’s going in within her extended family. Oh, and Foxy the three-legged dog too – but he’s just wonderful…

The family shenanigans are really well done, the dilemmas and the different relationships (and the occasional crisis) really involving. The saboteur story-line is excellent – many red herrings, some obvious suspects, but credible when the real culprit is uncovered.

And then there’s the romance – if I enjoy a hotel setting, I think I might like a “mortal enemies become friends (and more)” storyline even more. This one was excellent – lots of hidden depths and secrets, a nice touch with the emotional content as the relationship gently warmed, and plenty of seemingly insurmountable obstacles to overcome before any chance of a happy ending.

There’s lots of gentle humour too – actually, it was really laugh-out-loud at times for me, although I know such things do rather depend on your personal tastes. And the book’s setting is wonderful – not just the hotel, but its surroundings on the Dorset coast also beautifully drawn.

This book got everything absolutely right for me – an excellent light and heartwarming read, recommended to anyone who might enjoy a well-written escape from life’s current realities.

This has got to be my favourite romance read of the year so far. It's part romance and part mystery, my favourite kind of romcom. It's a perfect mixture of the two and the writing is superb.

Bluebell Cliff is an idyllic seaside resort with gorgeous scenery and fabulous folk living there. It's also home to a beautiful hotel, which claims to make your dreams come true. So far, it's been pretty successful at living up to its motto. That is until Clara King is left in charge of managing the hotel whilst the hotel's owner has to deal with a family emergency in Australia. When it seems like someone is deliberately trying to sabotage the hotel and her personal life, Clara is determined to make the best of everything.

I absolutely adored this book, the characters felt like chums and sucked you into their stories. The mystery element had me guessing until the very end. This is a book you don't want to miss. I devoured this book in one sitting and it's one I'll definitely be recommending my friends to read too!

Della Galton is a new author to me and with the current world circumstances I was searching for an escapist novel. Luckily, Sunshine over Bluebell Cliff was next on my blog tour list.

Clara is 34 and works at a seaside hotel on Dorset's Isle of Purbeck. She's had her own fair share of problems in life, including an ex boyfriend who just wasn't the one despite an offer of a round the world trip (which would have been romantic had each ticket not been buy one get one free).

Ciara's way out is a no-brainer: herself and her career. So it's goodbye love and hello work and responsibility. But it seems she's in the deep end when her boss suddenly leaves the running of the hotel to her. Not just that, she has to house and dog sit, too.

Foxy the dog has had many chances at life and the three-legged canine provides company for Clara as she navigates life from a different angle.

There's a cast of unique characters, laughs fun and a mystery to solve. All set against a stunning backdrop of Dorset coastline. I loved the fact the book was set where it was because I spent many a Geography lesson at school learning about this particular area and it was one that my teacher would paint vivid pictures of in my mind, I also had the pleasure of spending many a family holiday there, getting as close as I could to the towns and geographical features I had studied.

I also visited the area as an adult and was still mesmerised by it. Della Galton makes the area come alive through her descriptions.

Thanks to Della Galton, Boldwood Books and Rachel's Random Resources for my ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

4 stars.

Rating 4.5/5*

This is a fun read with an intriguing mix of mystery and romance set in the delightful Purbeck cliffs, taking readers on a journey to some places I've visited and others I'd love to (once the lockdown is over!) 

Clara King is the manager for the Bluebell Cliff hotel, she's loving the job but hadn't anticipated the owner leaving her in charge whilst she travelled to the other side of the world for a family emergency. That's when the trouble starts. It seems there's a saboteur out to ruin this hotel which strives to make dreams come true. . . . . With her own family dramas and what's happening to put the hotel out of business, Clara is in for a trying time but she's determine to discover who is behind the mischief and put a stop to it. Can she do so before it is too late?

This is a great story with an eclectic mix of brilliantly portrayed characters, most of whom feel like folks you actually know. The plot has plenty of mystery, twists and turns, keeping you guessing till very near the end. There's a slowly developing romance, too, that's heartwarming and adds humour to the story. Overall it is a brilliant story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and have no hesitation in highly recommending it - a fantastic book to escape into!

I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it and finding it a highly entertaining page turner!

A wonderful feel good book.

Clara took over as the manager of the Bluebell Cliff Hotel, but unfortunately someone was sabotaging her hotel to shut it down. She suspected the owner of competitor hotel, Adam. But he slowly won over her friendship and heart.

My first book by this author, extremely emotive and well described was the prose. It was slow going initially, but soon became quite engrossing. Mystery and humor uplifted the story and Della's writing made it all come alive.

A lovely read.

I needed something to get my mind off the COVID-19 pandemic, and this book was just the thing. It is a wholesome and moving story about realizing what the most precious thing in life is–a happy and healthy family. It describes the complexity of relationships, the ups and downs in a marriage, and how love cannot be forced but has to blossom naturally.

Clara King, 34 years old, does not walk down the aisle with her boyfriend, but chooses to take up her dream job as manager of the Bluebell Cliff, a boutique hotel, in Dorset.

Three months into the job, circumstances cause her to be put in sole charge of the hotel operations. It should have been easy going, but somebody is out to sabotage the hotel and force it to shut down.

Clara is running out of time as she desperately tries to figure out who has a motive for wanting the Bluebell Cliff to shut down. Her prime suspect is the Manor House Hotel, the nearest competitor.

But a growing friendship with its co-owner, Adam Greenwood, gives rise to conflicting feelings within her. To complicate matters, her grandparents seem to be on the path to divorce after fifty-seven years of marriage.

Clara battles with a myriad of emotions, each threatening to get the better of her. How she resolves each problem and the truths she uncovers in the process form the core of this book. There’s also a cute three-legged dog, Foxy, who doubles up as Clara’s sounding board when she needs to process her feelings.

The writing style is clear, the pace is leisurely, and the descriptions of the Isle of Purbeck are gorgeous. I couldn’t guess the identity of the saboteur because there were so many red herrings along the way.

I just wish the first half of the book was a bit shorter. It takes you time to get invested in the story because the author focuses on establishing Clara’s work ethics and deep familial attachment before plunging into the mystery and the romance.

Oh my goodness this book was such a lovely read!

I loved the setting and the characters were lovely, they were well developed and they worked really well with the plot too. This is the first book I have read by this author and she has really put herself on my radar now!

I loved the descriptions and she really brought the story to life for me. It was a lovely uplifting read – just what I needed to read during the current lockdown – I hope to be able to visit the coast again soon but for now, this was perfect!

It is 5 stars from me for this one, it was a fabulous way to escape and I loved being able to read it in the sunshine – very highly recommended!

[Lynne Piza · Rating 4 out of 5]

So this was a lovely read! The story follows the main character called Clara trying to discover who is trying to ruin the reputation of the hotel she works in and why!

Clara is suddenly left in charge of the hotel when her boss has to take a last minute, unplanned trip! Clara is so happy to do this as she loves her job so much!

However with someone so intent on damaging the hotels reputation, she must work hard with her team to stop their attempts and being successful and find the culprit so they can stop them and find out why!

Along the way she has some family dramas that she is trying to keep together, she meets a really rude man who owns the hotel next door and looks after the cutest little rescue dog!

Now one bit in the book really did make me laugh out loud! I found it so funny I had to tell my husband who also laughed! And that is Mr B’s real name! You’ll have to read it to find out what it is! But it’s brilliant.

I did find it a little slow in places, however that didn’t stop me thoroughly enjoying the book, I kept speculating who I thought was behind all the set ups, and I really wanted to find out who it was!

I loved the story and also the kunekune pigs hehe they really are as naughty in real life as described in the book! Pigs are my favourite animals!

I found myself really routing for Clara but where I didn’t know where it was going I wasn’t sure whether it would be a happy ending of whether everything would fall apart for her when her boss got back!

The setting of this book is absolutely stunning, a small hotel on the top of a cliff with a lighthouse! Seriously I want to go there! The descriptions of the surrounding were just spectacular!

Most of all I LOVED the ending where we got to find out where every single character was a few years down the line! I thought that was BRILLIANT! It ended the book in a perfect way and felt complete!

Overall a Heartwarming, funny, easy-to-read, beautifully set novel to escape from current life! I’d love to give this book 4 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!

What a delightful novel to get you in the mood for Spring.  Not being able to go very far, this book is the next best thing.  It completely transports the reader to a clifftop location along the coast and is mainly centred around the setting of The Bluebell Hotel and the local area. 

The setting was so richly described that I could feel the breeze on my face and hear the waves gently lapping.  The hotel itself is such a  zany collection of characters and mishaps that had me chuckling away as I read.  I found the whole information about the workings of a hotel fascinating to read about and I'd love to stay at The Bluebell.  

Clara is a brilliant lead character, taking over managing the hotel for a while she finds herself facing many disasters which she handles brilliantly.  Her relationships with the weird and wonderful staff are just so warm and I also loved how much Clara's family were involved in the story.  Della Galton has written such a wonderfully colourful and vibrant group of characters.  If this wasn't enough, Clara is developing a love hate relationship with the owner of a rival, local hotel.

Overall, this is a well written, relaxing read that is perfect for a bit of escapism.  I really hope we will be visiting Bluebell Cliffs again in the near future.

I loved escaping to the coast to the idyllic hotel at Bluebell Cliff with its range of sometimes quirky characters and its strong central characters. Clara made me laugh at times, especially when she took refuge behind her garden shed. Her reactions were often so down to earth and unpretentious. This is a book which explores family values and took a look at the difficulties which even the longest of marriages can get into. You feel like you are looking at people, faults and all.

On top of the romance which is slow burning, there is also a mystery to unravel. With a well written and fluent style, the story takes you by the hand. I thoroughly enjoyed it and there are no loose ends at the end. You get to find out what happens next for everyone. It would be lovely to visit the hotel again, but it can be read as a standalone.

In short: Romance and mystery add up to a heartwarming escapist read.
Thanks to the author for a copy of the book.

A great read. My first book by this Author. I was due to go to Dorset this Easter but Vovid 19 stopped that so I went vicariously through this book.
Clara works at Bluebell hotel and ends up becoming the manager due to an illness and she prevails greatly. Shes loving her career at the moment after escaping from her ex who just doesn't do it for her. There is someone sabotaging the hotel, by doing a few things to make it less favourable. This is slightly a story about whodunit mystery mixed with chiclit. Firstly, I was looking at the other hotel but as you get further in the book you start thinking it's A B C.. I can't say who did the things but I would say read it.
I really enjoyed it, loved the area if dorset and it's pretty cliffs and that hotel is amazing. Loved it

[Tiziana Langone · Rating 4 out of 5]

More than just a romance!

Clara is finding herself in charge of the Bluebell Cliff hotel, after the owner has left the country for family circumstance.
The hotel is THE place for having your dreams come true, but for Clara it’s slowly becoming a nightmare. On several occasions there is a saboteur doing it’s utterly best to discredit the hotel. But who, and also why? Are the owners of the nearby hotel responsible? Or is there someone else lurking?

I loved reading this story, because it’s not just a standard romance. The idea of a saboteur made this a bit of a different story.

Clara is a responsible woman, just having found the job she truly likes. And when she suddenly is in charge, she is obviously a little bit afraid, but also determined to make everything run smoothly. Despite being in charge, she is not letting the new responsibilities make her head swoon. The dynamics between her and the other employees are still amicable. A laugh and joke are more common than strict handing the iron fist.
But even if Clara is not acting like an angry, severe boss, she stands her ground when needed. And nobody messes with the hotel when she is in charge!
Together with the whole team, the saboteur will be found!
And I had several laughs with the co – workers! Each and every one of them is so delightful and adding extra spice into the story!
Without them, a lot of charm would get lost in the story!

When Adam comes in the picture, just like Clara I was suspicious… from being a grumpy man initially his change in behaviour was too big and sudden to be just sheer accident, right? And he and his brother have a lot to gain with the bad luck the hotel Is facing, being a direct rival in the hotel business.
The more time Clara and Adam spend together, the more they realize they have in common. And slowly feelings are taking part in the story. 

The mystery about sabotaging the hotel kept me reading, because I couldn’t make any sense of it. Because the obvious culprit would be too obvious, right? But who else could benefit from it?
Describing this story as a strict romance, would not be enough. It’s a mystery, drama, comedy, romance, all in one.
A perfect blend for a nice day reading and escape your own reality.

Della Galton is a much-loved contributor to the country’s most popular magazines and her novel Sunshine Over Bluebell Cliff is full of all the warmth, intrigue, magic and heart which her shorts stories and serials are renowned for.

It is the dream job Clara King has been waiting for: she has been left solely responsible for a fabulous new cliff top hotel for the entire summer. Clara cannot believe her luck. She has such plans and such ambitions for her latest project and she simply cannot wait to get started. The Bluebell Cliff Hotel is going to look even more magnificent by the time all of her plans are put into action – however, the owner is barely out of the country and trouble has already started. It looks like somebody isn’t exactly overjoyed to have Clara running the hotel and they are absolutely hellbent on ensuring that Bluebell Cliff does not remain a profitable enterprise for much longer! Looks like Clara has challenges on her hands she hadn’t even envisaged!

With the hotel’s future at stake, Clara will not rest until she figures out who is the person determined to bring the Bluebell Cliff to its knees. Not one to give up without a fight, Clara needs all of her resolve and strength to figure out who the saboteur is intent on causing maximum distraction – because the alternative simply does not bear thinking about! As if Clara does not have enough to worry about, it is not just her professional life that is in chaos, but also her personal life. So much for a quiet summer…

Can Clara manage to save the hotel and rescue it from financial ruin? Will she rise the occasion and
realise that when it comes to a crisis, there is nobody who can match her? Or will she continue to doubt herself?

Sinking into a Della Galton novel with a glass of something cold and refreshing by your side is a little slice of heaven. Sunshine Over Bluebell Cliff is a wonderfully written tale sprinkled with romance, danger, humour and warmth that eagerly kept me turning the pages and engrossed and entertained throughout. A gripping tale about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, meeting challenges head on and believing in yourself, Sunshine Over Bluebell Cliff is a superbly told tale from the always exceptional Della Galton.

The perfect book to curl up with and escape. A lovely coastal setting, intriguing cozy mystery and gentle romance, beset with conflict. Clara copes with running an inspirational hotel, family dramas at every turn and some sinister goings-on, which threaten the hotel's reputation.

This story has a beautifully described setting that makes you want to say there. Full of vivid imagery reading this is a pleasure for the senses. Authentically created characters hide problems and secrets. The mystery is well written and gives the story added depth.

Besieged with conflict, somehow the romance triumphs and the ending is uplifting and satisfying.

This was a charming listen. It was my first Della Galton book, but probably not my last. I am really enjoying escape-style novels these days, especially those set in the UK. Bonus points for cute dogs - check! This one even has a cameo by some cute mini-pigs as well. The setting was lovely, the story was largely credible, and the romance wasn't ridiculous or gushy. I loved the epilogue giving an update on all the characters' lives in the future. All around great book with a good narrator as well.

A really nice summer read from an accomplished author. Plenty of mystery, humour, emotion and intrigue as well as a romantic element. When Clara takes on the Bluebell Cliff Hotel while the owner is away, all manner of things begin to go wrong and sabotage is strongly suspected. My favourite parts were the Curly Wurly episode and the rather emotional hospital scene. Della is a master of her craft and I look forward to her next novel.

Wonderful

It was well written, the story flowed, with just the right amount of mystery -who done it? And romance. The romantic part of the story was what kept me reading. Part of the mystery was wrapped up in the romance and the romance was rated G. I knew it could be done. Sell me on the love with a detailed description of the sexual act.

Great story - great characters with puzzling twists and happy turns.
Full of the ins and outs of running 2 different Hotels almost side by side.
Enjoyed this book and recommend it to all.
