I could not stop reading. Long after you have finished this novel, and the credits roll, you will be thinking about the magic of this story and its layers of meaning, behind the scenes. *** I read this book in a matter of days. It’s fresh, pacy and allows the reader to escape between the (seemingly) glamorous world of film & TV, and the rugged coastline of Ireland. *** What I enjoy most about Adrienne Vaughan’s books is the sense of community. While Summer of Secrets has a multi-generational family (and plenty of romance!) at its heart, the sub-plots are equally engaging and entertaining, and I like how the author uses flashbacks and memories to give the reader more insight. Highly recommended and can’t wait for the stories to continue. *** Vaughan did an amazing job of building mystery and tension in this story, from the first chapter I was locked in and full of questions. The quick pacing of this read easily keeps you embroiled in Mia’s secrets and the secrets that are around her. *** …this author does an amazing job of weaving a subtle romance into the plot…I found myself thinking I was close to solving the ending only to be thrown back into the tide, definitely will recommend this to all my cosy mystery lovers who like deep mysteries that are still light hearted. *** A lovely book. The coastal locations are beautifully described. I loved the poem at the beginning, I loved the story, and I loved the ending. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Adrienne Vaughan. *** Another top read from Adrienne Vaughan. Adrienne's talent for creating engaging, entertaining characters, some of them warm, some witty, some wonderfully whacky, but all memorable, gets stronger with every book she writes. The stunning Irish setting and grandeur of the family home holds lots of hopes, fears and secrets and the drama, whether recounted from the past or firmly in the present, never lets up as each story thread unravels. Loved it! *** WOW! Was all I could say when I came to the end, I am still mesmerised by this utterly fabulous, incredibly well-written, masterfully plotted novel. Be prepared for a wonderful journey. *** I can wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful story, it’s perfectly crafted and captured my imagination. *** I was completely gripped with each twist and turn in this engaging tale. *** Mia is a likeable main character, and I hoped she’d find answers and a happy ending. The other characters are a colourful mix, who really brought life to the story. *** Summer of Secrets is a well written story, with lots going on to keep the reader keenly turning those pages and discovering the answers to all those hidden secrets. It’s always exciting to discover a new author, and I’m very much looking forward to reading more from Adrienne in the future. *** The stunning cover of this book has to be one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. The contents of the book don’t disappoint either! A wonderful book, which I didn’t want to end and was sad when I did so. *** I was mesmerised by this utterly fabulous, incredibly well-written and masterfully plotted novel and I loved it. Be prepared for a wonderful journey. It is a lovely book and I highly recommend it.’
