Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo) It Started At Sunset Cottage [Chick-Lit Film Romantic Comedy]

[ATDrake]

It Started At Sunset Cottage by Midlands-resident author Bella Osborne is her f/m chick-lit romantic comedy starring a recently-bereaved author whose novel has been optioned for a Hollywood film, who retreats to the titular idyllic cottage in the English countryside to work on the screenplay and thereby runs into the proposed lead actor for the film, lying low after one too many scandals, with whom she strikes up an unlikely friendship and possibly more, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins UK's HarperImpulse imprint.

Currently free @ B&N UK, Amazon UK, iTunes UK, and Kobo (available to the UK, and also free in Japan and South America when I spot-check assorted regional stores). Probably also free at Google Play for eligible countries.

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

A little by default, but this just seems like better heartwarming fun for most Gentle Readers than yet another serial killer thriller or religious manifesto, and I like the bit in the blurb about "narrowly avoiding death by watering can" and hope that the leads' shared taste for "walnut whips" involves something a lot kinkier than it probably actually is, so bonus points.

Enjoy!

Description
Kate Marshall is slowly getting her life back on track after losing her fiancé. As an author she has been able to hide herself away from the world and its expectations – but now one of her books has been optioned for a film and Hollywood suddenly comes knocking on her door!

When Kate is given the opportunity to stay at a beautiful country retreat and concentrate on the screenplay, it’s an offer she can’t refuse. Encouraged by her best friend, sharp-tongued single mum Sarah, Kate sees it’s finally time to stop letting life pass her by.

Looking for confidence and inspiration in the idyllic Cotswolds countryside, the last thing Kate expects is for Timothy Calder, A-list actor and leading man in the movie adaptation of her book, to turn up on her doorstep, hoping to lie low after his latest tabloid scandal! But after a rocky start, with Tim narrowly avoiding death by watering can, they find they have a few things in common: a liking for Lady Grey tea, walnut whips and bad ‘knock knock’ jokes. Actually, the bad jokes are just Tim.

As an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, and with circumstances repeatedly throwing them together, is Sunset Cottage where both Kate and Tim’s lives will really start?
