Sunrise on the Coast
Lilac Mills
Rating: 4 stars
When a holiday becomes something more...
Struggling to come to terms with the loss of her mother, Sophie needs to get away from it all. On a much-needed break to Tenerife, she stumbles across a Help Wanted sign for local pensioner, Hugo, and on a leap of faith she accepts the job.
But life on the island isn't all sun, sea and siestas...
Hugo's beautiful villa is under threat and, to complicate matters, his brooding (but handsome) nephew, Alex, has shown up full of suspicion towards Sophie.
Her hands full dealing with difficult men and a clearly unreciprocated attraction towards Alex, Sophie needs to decide if her future lies in Tenerife or if her holiday is officially over.
Escape to a Spanish island with this gorgeously uplifting romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Sue Moorcroft and Mandy Baggot.

I really enjoy Lilac Mills' novels. They're lighthearted and extremely easy to read. I like nothing more than settling down all snuggled up to read one of her books with a cup of coffee! I like the simplicity of this cover, the beautiful sunrise background, the bright blue sea and of course Hugo's gorgeous villa.
This story follows main character Sophie who, after losing her mum, is convinced to go on a holiday. So, she books flights to Tenerife and doesn't look back. Whilst on holiday, she sees an advert for House Help, so on a whim she applies. Sophie gets the job and she soon flies back to Tenerife to start her new temporary job. Sophie and Hugo get on really well and they find themselves easily slotting into a new routine. When Hugo goes in for his hip surgery, his nephew shows up unannounced and is immediately suspicious of Sophie.
Even though the pair are at loggerheads a lot of the time, there's an obvious attraction between them. However, add in an OAP who needs Sophie's help, and a surfer-dude shop worker who is trying to win Sophie's affections, Sophie's 3 months in Tenerife have become much more hectic than she originally planned! The setting sounds glorious and I really enjoyed reading about Sophie's trip to Tenerife.
It's a great read. Really entertaining with some of the author's usual humour added. Quite emotional at the start but got a lot more lighthearted as the novel went on! Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read an advance copy of this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
