4 out of 5 stars
Such a delightful read 💐
Confetti at the Cornish Cafe by Phillipa Ashley 💐 What a delightful read and a fantastic way to conclude The Penwith trilogy. In this final instalment Demi and Cal are busy transforming Kilhallon Resort into a spring wedding venue suitable for a high-profile celebrity couple. And in true Kilhallon fashion it was full of the usual chaos and drama that I know and love, and that always keeps me entertained from start to finish. I've thoroughly enjoyed following Demi's story throughout this series and loved seeing her completely turn her life around 🩷 As well as introducing us to a few new interesting (and infuriating) characters this story was also full of all the loveable and familiar faces I've come to know, and ended with a truly memorable Cornish celebration... Thank you @phillipa.ashleyauthor for creating such a heart-warming trilogy ✨️

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2017

    It’s always a sad moment when you come to the end of a beloved series. Harry Potter, the original Star Wars Trilogy, and my latest – ‘Confetti at the Cornish Café’ is the third and final book in the ‘Cornish Café’ trilogy; unless Phillipa can be persuaded to keep them going? But would that be a good thing? All good things come to an end, is a very true saying and some things go on way past their sell-by-dates. This is not the case here.

    I have enjoyed, to say the least, Ms Ashley’s tales of Demi and Cal and the third, unusual but certainly important character, Kilhallon (the estate in Cornwall the story is mainly set). There are many books where the location is important, but few that earn the right to be counted as a character in their own right (Mandalay in Rebecca comes to mind). I want to visit Cornwall again now to try and search it out, but know that despite the beauty of the county, I’d be disappointed.

    Ms Ashley has been extremely clever with her pacing of these novels as hints have been dropped about the cause of Cal’s behaviour, which were revealed in ‘Christmas at the Cornish Café’, but here we finally get to meet the little girl from his past that has so affected him, and the way it was written brought tears to the eyes of this reviewer. But what about Cal and Demi you ask? Do they finally get together?

    Well, they already are at the start of the book, in that they’re living together now. But the title of the book? Suffice to say, all revolves about a celebrity wedding taking place at Kilhallon, though all is not quite how it appears. Old enemies try to stir things up, relationships are not what they seem and, I could go on and on, but I won’t.

    If you enjoyed the first two books, then you’ll be thrilled to continue your adventures and yes, this can be read as a stand-alone book, but things will make more sense if you read the first two.

    I very much look forward to reading this author’s next novel. She’s a gem!

    Demi and Cal - with the help of their team, arrange a celebrity handfast at their idyllic Cornish resort.
    With back stories that weave into the events, it very slowly comes together and eventually becomes interesting.
    Maybe my main problem was not being sure Demi was a likeable character, added to the slow plot.
    Disappointing as her books are usually excellent.

    4.0 out of 5 stars *Wedding Drama*
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2022
    Verified Purchase
    With Kilhallon Resort firmly up and running with the cafe, cottages and Yurts, Cal & Demi are busy getting things ready for their first ever Wedding, their first clients are famous celebrities, so no pressure what could possibly go wrong?… there are a few references to the Cornish scenery which sounds idyllic.

    This wedding ceremony is a HandFasting. Which is legal but not recognised as a legal wedding in the U.K. the ceremony is mostly performed by a Celebrant and involves the couple holding hands so that their wrists or pulse points are touching. A length of ribbon or cord is looped around the hands 6 times as the couple make a declaration at each loop. (Something I had not heard of which goes back years)

    There is drama as one vindictive person who is out to see Cal & Demi fail tries to sabotage the wedding and Cal has to leave to get closure on a personal matter as Demi wonders if he will be back in time to help out at the wedding. Will the HandFasting go ahead? And Cal has a surprise for Demi right at the end. A satisfying ending to the trilogy.

    At the end of the book there are some recipes to try

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Final Book in this Series

    I really enjoyed reading the first and second Cornish Cafe books and this third and final book in this series was no different.
    I love that a fairly short romance book can have so many quirks and twists and still have plenty of more real to life romance and still have a satisfying ending. Is it Sense and Sensibility? No, but I enjoyed the series just as much. Kudos to Phillipa Ashley for another wonderful read.
    Bottom Line: Buy the whole series, set some time aside and enjoy.
