New Dreams at Polkerran Point by Cass Grafton. Review.



Book Description

A surprise inheritance will open the doors to her future, and also the past…


When Aunt Meg leaves her cottage to Anna Redding in her will, Anna immediately packs up and

heads to Polkerran, the Cornish fishing village where she was so happy as a child.


With ambitions to turn the cottage into a B&B, a job working for the enigmatic historian, Oliver

Seymour, and the return of her childhood crush, Alex Tremayne, it seems the stars have all aligned

for Anna.


But Aunt Meg left behind a mystery for her to solve, and a shock discovery reveals she may be living

a dream that isn’t really hers to hold. Can Anna rescue the new life she’s made for herself? Who in

Polkerran can she really count on in her time of need?


A charming and cosy romance for fans of Trisha Ashley, Cressida McLaughlin and Suzanne Snow.


Previously published as The Cottage in the Cornish Cove.

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY CASS GRAFTON!!!


This is the first book I have read by this author but it most certainly won't be my last!!! This is the first book in 'The Little Cornish Cove series' and was previously published as 'The Cottage In The Cornish Cove'.



This novel consists of 30 chapters. The chapters are short to medium in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!



What an absolutely stunning read by the extremely talented Cass Grafton!!! A perfectly gorgeous book!!! The vivid descriptions left me feeling the fresh air of Cornwall and feeling the sea breeze. This may be the first book I have read by this incredible author but it most certainly won't be my last!!!The title, synopsis and cover suited the storyline perfectly.


This book is absolutely rammed full of love, heartache, cake, happiness, friendship, community, cats, betrayal, scenery, loss, dogs, friendship and a very cute kitten!!!! Its one of the most heart-warming and beautiful books I've read in a long time. It made me laugh, cry, smile and fall in love with Polkerran Point. I absolutely loved the gorgeous atmosphere and surroundings being based in the beautiful Cornwall. Cass's evocative writing talents ensures the reader is flown away on holiday where they feel the sand on their toes, hear the crashing of the waves, feel their hearts beating faster with Anna's and will leave you tingling with warmth, smiling with happiness and light hearted!! It is one of those stunning books that it is impossible to say just one more chapter to. I gave up even trying to lie to myself saying just one more in the end as every time I came to the end of one chapter I just HAD to know what was going to happen next and this ended up happening so many times I ended up devouring the whole book in a several hour sitting!! I just could not put my kindle down and I was absolutely gutted when I came to the end of the book! It genuinely felt like I had escaped rainy Wales for a few hours and was soaking up the sun and sea air in the beautiful Polkerran Point. I've not long come back from holiday in Looe, Cornwall, myself and found myself back there in the blink of an eye trying to work out where Cass had based this gorgeous book on. I love the fact that the storyline wasn't a typical romance and didn't end like I assumed it would so a huge well done to Cass as when it comes to romances it is extremely difficult for me not to work out how it will end or what will happen but in this case I hadn't and I also absolutely loved the unexpected twists that you threw in!! I am landed that this is the first book in a series and I cannot wait to get stuck into the next book!!! I am not a fan of classical books but I loved the lovely quotes from classical books at the beginning of each chapter which gave a hint at what was to come in that chapter. Cass does include the heartbreaking subject of Alzheimer's when speaking about Anna's 'Aunt' but doesn't go into too much detail that I felt the need to include a warning. The storyline was sweet, romantic, uplifting and everything you want in a heart warming romance and I completely fell head over heels in love!!! This book is an uplifting breathe of fresh air!!! It ended absolutely perfectly!!!


Clear your schedules and have your tissues at the ready before picking up this stunning page turner as you won't be able to put it down and will get lost on this gorgeous rollercoaster ride of emotions!!!


The characters were all strong, well defined and realistic. I fell in love with the majority of them, even if some took longer than others!! I was gutted when I came to the end. This book is a gorgeous start to what promises to be a stunning series and I cannot wait to meet most of the characters again. Anna is such a strong character and after struggling herself from being treated like rubbish by her absolute @hole of an ex I loved watching her form friendships and find happiness. I became really invested in her and she was such a sweet, caring and unique person who has absolutely no confidence to begin with but it was amazing watching her flourish in the Polkerran community! She is definitely a character I cannot wait to meet over and over again. I'm not going to say anything about the other main characters as I don't want to give anything away but I loved how everything turned out. I really enjoyed learning about all the different members of the community and it reflected a small town community perfectly. There were so many other characters that I really enjoyed meeting and who I cannot wait to meet again. To name a few I enjoyed meeting Lauren and Georgia who I am hoping will visit Anna in Polkerran Point, Oliver, Phoenix, Verity Blue, Mrs Lovelace, Daniel, Jean, Nicki, Jason, Hamish and Mrs Clegg to name a few. I have also got to include Thumper the cat, Dougal the dog and Heathcliff the cat. I am a HUGE animal lover and it is always a HUGE bonus to have animals in books, especially ones who play such big parts!!! I could go on and on but I best stop there as I don't want to give anything away and potentially spoil it for future readers!. Needless to I'm looking forward to meeting them again!!




Get wrapped up warm, put the fire on, make your self a hot chocolate or get your towel and book ready and relax on the beach and clear your schedule ready to get lost in this unputdownable heart warming, gorgeous romantic!


Well done Cass on an absolutely gorgeous book. This is exactly why I would like you to my favourite romance authors list!!! I am thoroughly looking forward to reading more of your books past and future. Congratulations on a stunning success!!



Overall an absolutely stunning page turning romance that will make you smile, laugh and keep you up all night absorbing the pages.



318 pages.


This book is just £1.99 to purchase on kindle and £7.65 in paperback via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!


Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.

Author Bio


Cass began her writing life in Regency England, enlisted Jane Austen’s help to time-travel between

then and the present day and is now happily ensconced in 21st century Cornwall.


Well, in her imagination and soul; her heart and physical presence reside in northern England with

her ever-patient husband and Tig and Tag, their cute but exceptionally demanding moggies.


A bit of a nomad, Cass has called three countries home, as well as six different English counties, but

her aspiration is to one day reunite with her beloved West Country.


In the meantime, she writes feel-good contemporary romances set in Cornwall and, in doing so,

manages to live there vicariously through her characters and settings.
