New start. New love?

Spirited American Honor Sontag’s life has fallen apart, leaving her reputation in tatters. So she flees to the English seaside.

With nothing left to lose, Honor wants a much-deserved break and a chance to finally find the mother who abandoned her as a baby.

What she actually gets is a series of encounters with Martyn Mayfair. A gorgeous, but enigmatic, man who always seems to be at hand during Honor’s most embarrassing moments.

Martyn has sworn off women with strings attached. Yet, the more time he spends with Honor and her ‘go-get-it’ attitude, the more he’s drawn to the feisty American.

But when secrets about her mother start to spill out, threatening her relationship with Martyn, Honor must make an agonising choice.

Both Martyn and Honor are about to discover that all relationships have strings attached . . .

Honor Sontag fled her family and her husband in the USA after her life falls apart. She decides to travel to England and a small seaside town near Brighton to look for her free-spirited birth mother who abandoned her and her father when Honor was very small.

Things get off to a rocky start when she falls asleep in the sun and ends up being rescued by her landlady's younger brother Martyn Mayfair, who is gorgeous but appears to be some sort of layabout waster who can't keep a job for more than a few days. Of course the truth is far more interesting.

But as Honor and Martyn become close, there are secrets that could blow the two of them apart ... and they are going to come out!

This was a lovely small town romance with two likeable characters. Some of the secrets weren't hard to guess, others I didn't see coming.

Read on my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

After reading the first in this set of three The Wedding Proposal, and gave it four stars as it was decent enough I moved onto this, No Strings Attached which was the next. I wasn't sure whether in someway they would be linked but no, they're all standalone. I was extremely disappointed with this one. Suddenly a lot of foul language and editing mistakes have crept in, and don't benefit the story at all. What I particularly found DISGUSTING was the conversation around fantasies on kindle page 168. OK, the guy is drunk and curious about what fantasies Honor and women in general might have. Now personally, and from all the women I know, there are a number of general, run of the mill ideas that spring to mind. NOT ONCE would any of us thought of the fantasy of being raped!! Was this book actually written by a man?? As a victim / survivor of such an ATROCIOUS act it beggars belief why this made a list of three fantasies? Wow! A book that glorifies rape! And I sincerely hope something so completely devastating never happens to you or any of your readers.

Enjoyed this , much more to it than romance .

I liked the plot ,the character's. Some of them were caricatures, and funny. If a little unbelievable. But overall it was very easy to read an escape to a different place .

Too Drawn Out

This book could've ended with half the contents, but I enjoyed it. I really admire the authors, geographic and detailed knowledge of the English town and byways included in the book. Also, her characterization of the male love interest was exceptionally hot lol

An easy-to-read holiday romance with a very interesting plot.
Wouldn't call it a closed door romance but just the right amount of spice without going overboard.
Could have been wrapped up in fewer pages.

Good but unnecessary graphic sex

The story was great. But could have been a closed door romance. I won’t read any other books by Sue Moorcroft for that reason.
