Blog Hop: Vacation/Travel in my Novel

7/6/2014

This vacation/Travel themed Hop was organized by the Genre Specific Review Group on Goodreads.

My latest new adult romance is set in Kingsand, which is a little village by the sea in Cornwall, UK.

Trey, the hero of my story, lives in the village. My heroine, Pia, is visiting on a family vacation. Pia visits Tintagel Castle, which is reputed to be the birthplace of King Arthur. They also visit Bodmin Jail, which is supposed to be haunted.

Cornwall is famous for the Cornish Pasty.

Pia wants to try a pasty but the traditional recipe contains onions, which she hates. Trey wants to be a chef, so he helps her make a pasty without onion. You can find the recipe for the traditional Cornish Pasty here.

Amazon / Goodreads

The last place Pia wants to be is on a family vacation in a sleepy Cornish village. She's anticipating two weeks of mind-numbing boredom. Then she meets Trey, a local boy. He's absolutely gorgeous. The trouble is — he knows it. He's arrogant and egotistical, and Pia intends to avoid him at all costs.

But Trey is not the kind of guy who gives up easily. When he sets his sights on Pia, her resistance is futile.

It's just a holiday romance, some light-hearted fun, right? But one of them is about to discover that still waters do, indeed, run deep. When what lurks beneath the surface finally erupts, the consequences may prove to be catastrophic.

For age 17+ due to sexual content and strong language.

I'd love to visit the area. Castles, ruins, and so much green, all of which is my favorite! Some day, I'd like to visit England, Scotland and Ireland.

The pastry recipe sounds good. If I ever get off my diet I'm going to try it.
