Summer of Hopes and Dreams
by Sue McDonagh
Description
The perfect uplifting escapist read ...
Can “Dozy Rosie” spice up her life and prove she’s not boring?
Rosie Bunting has spent her life caring for others, often at the expense of her own hopes and dreams. But when she overhears somebody describing her as “boring”, she decides it’s time for a change.
Little does she realise that the outdoor pursuits weekend brochure handed to her at the local Art Café will kick start a summer that will see her abseiling down a Welsh cliff face in “eye watering” leggings, rediscovering her artistic side and unexpectedly inheriting an old fire engine. It also involves meeting hunky outdoor instructor, Gareth Merwyn-Jones although of course he’d never be interested in Dozy Rosie Bunting ... would he?
One thing’s for certain: Rosie’s path to achieving her hopes and dreams might not be smooth, but it’s definitely not boring.

Reviews
This might just be my favourite in the Art Café series. It ticks all my boxes for an enjoyable and uplifting read. There’s a troubled heroine and a handsome hero who are clearly made for each other, difficulties to be overcome (some more unexpected than others), lots of comical moments and a heartwarming conclusion. It’s not every day you come across felting, a fire engine and a flood in a novel! I enjoyed Summer of Hopes and Dreams from start to finish and really recommend it to anyone who likes funny, warm and romantic stories. It’s a hopeful and inspiring book and perfect summer reading.

Author Biography
Sue McDonagh’s career as a policewoman for Essex Police was cut short when she was diagnosed at the age of twenty-four with ovarian cancer. After a successful recovery and a stint working as a Press Officer she moved to Wales.
In Wales her love of art evolved into a full-time occupation and she made a living teaching and sketching portraits at shows. In 2014 she was a regional finalist for the Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year. She now works exclusively to commissions from her art gallery.
In 2009 she learned to ride a motorbike, and now helps run Curvy Riders, a national, women only, motorbike club. Her joy of motorbikes and her love of writing inspired her to write the Art Café series. Sue, granny of two little girls and proud mum of two stepsons, lives a mile from the sea in Wales. She can often be found with her border terrier, Scribbles, at her art gallery. Scribble thinks the customers only come in to see him. Sometimes, Sue thinks that too.
When she’s not painting, she’s writing or on her motorbike.
