SUMMER MOVED ON
BY JOANNA LAMBERT
After a long-buried secret tears her family apart, Jess Hayden
moves to the South Devon village of Lynbrook to live with her uncle. Rufus owns the village pub, The Black Bull,
and having visited before, Jess knows the villagers well…especially one of
them.
Talún Hansen has a reputation, making him the kind of man no decent
girl should get involved with. Jess,
however, has been under his spell from the moment they first met. Although they always seem to bring out the
worst in each other, there is no denying the attraction that simmers between
them - an attraction Jess knows she needs to keep under control after repeated
warnings from her uncle.
As she settles into village life she begins to learn more about
this wild, dark-haired gypsy with the compelling eyes, and realises their lives
hold many similarities. Despite her
uncle’s warnings, she begins to spend time with him. For Jess, the coming summer holds passion;
for Talún the hope that he has at last found someone who truly cares for him.
But as autumn approaches, a dark shadow from Jess’s past
returns, bringing far-reaching and unwanted changes for both of them.

My Review
The two protagonists, Torun and Jess are both vulnerable. Torun was abandoned by
his mother and Jess lost her mother at a
young age. It would seem that these two young people are meant for each other.
The course of true love never did run smooth however and at times I wanted to
slap both of them and bring them to their senses. With Lily as prize
trouble-maker, it is not surprising that these two seem to fall out and make up
on a regular basis. The location and characters are superbly drawn and Jo Lambert
certainly knows how to tell a story. I found myself sad as I was coming to the
end but then, happy surprise, I discovered that there will be a sequel. I am
really looking forward to finding out what happens to these two next.
5/5
