Christie’s Review

5 STARS

What a charming and emotional read!

Heather seems to have a life most women would be envious of. She has a doting boyfriend, Rory, and a beautiful baby boy, Harry. She lives on a picturesque farm, working with Rory. However, Heather is also struggling. She always worries about not ever fitting in on the farm, especially since this life is completely out of her comfort zone. She has always struggled with anxiety, but losing her mother years ago seems to have made it harder to manage. When her ex shows up in Glendale, it only complicates things for her, making her question every decision she has ever made.

I loved the characters, even the secondary ones! Heather stole my heart because I live with anxiety as well. Like her, you do feel like you are alone in your emotions at times. I admired her strength and determination. Rory had a way of calming her and steadying her when she needed him. He was the perfect match for her, even if she sometimes felt she didn’t belong with him.

While this is a romance, it was so much more! I liked that the couple was together from the beginning. That is something quite different than a lot of others in the genre. I liked seeing what happens after the couple get together! In addition, it was also a story about a woman finding her place in the world. A book can’t get much better than that!!!!!

Christie’s Review

4 STARS

What a delightful, charming little book! It’s filled with all the things I love….romance, emotion, and friendship!

Poor Milla has had a terrible time of it lately. She has lost her fiance to her friend and business partner. To top it off, her so-called friend has just given birth to a baby with her ex. She definitely needs some time away, so she returns home to recharge. She has no clue how that one decision will change the direction of her life, both professionally and personally.

Not only is this a romance, but the theme of friendship and support is seen throughout. Milla’s tribe, including Nic have helped her heal and learn to love herself. Even though she feels like she hasn’t helped Nic’s tortured soul, she really has. Is that enough for them to find their HEA? I sure did enjoy watching them fall for each other even if they didn’t realize it at the time.

I have read a couple of other books in the series, but you don’t have to read the others to understand what is happening in this one. I love the way Linfoot writes. She puts you right in the story she is telling, and I felt like I was a part of the group. The setting is so beautiful and descriptive. I could see the charming town and even smell the salt in the air. It is a great little book to take you away from reality for a while!

I write fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines, and lots of heart. Writing is fab, because I get to wear pretty shoes instead of wellies. I live in a cottage up a mountain road in Derbyshire, where my family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos. Happily, we’re in walking distance of a supermarket. I love hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things french. When I’m not on facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, I’ll be walking, or gardening. On days when I want to be really scared, I ride a tandem.

Coming Home to Heritage Cove

by Helen J. Rolfe

About the Book: 

Welcome to Heritage Cove, the little village by the sea brimming with character, community and friendship, and the perfect place to fall in love this summer…

Melissa rushes back to Heritage Cove when Barney, the man who’s been like a father figure to her since she was a little girl, ends up in hospital. After an absence of five years, her return isn’t going to be easy, especially when she bumps into Harvey, the love of her life and the man she’s never been able to forget.

For reasons he couldn’t explain at the time, Harvey changed his mind about going with Melissa to start afresh as they’d planned, and life moved on for the both of them. But with Melissa back in the village and determined to stick around to help Barney, they can’t avoid each other forever. Melissa knows she let so many people down by staying away for so long, but she and Harvey blame each other for what happened and neither of them is willing to admit to being in the wrong.

When Barney insists on cancelling the Wedding Dress Ball, the charity fundraiser he holds every year in the stunning barn on his property, Melissa and Harvey realise they’re going to have to pull together. Otherwise the man they once knew might be gone forever. And when they unearth a secret Barney has never shared with anyone, they go in search of answers to not only ensure the ball runs this summer, but to bring back the Barney they know and love.

Back in the cove after all this time, Melissa gets to see the life she left behind and it’s time to deal with what it was that drove her away in the first place.

Beneath the summer sunshine in Heritage Cove, the sea sparkles, the heat rises and new love, reconciliations and the answers to an old love story could bring changes for everyone.

What a charming, enjoyable read perfect for summer!!!

Melissa had planned on spending a staycation with her pilot fiance, Jay, since the two of them rarely see one another since she herself is a flight attendant. Now, she is rushing back to her home Heritage Cove. The man who has been like a father to her is in hospital, thankfully it isn’t anything serious. She has plans to make sure he is recuperating and returning back to London and her life as soon as she can. However, she hadn’t anticipated the complicated feelings that would arise returning to the place people know her best and the man, Harvey, who was supposed to be “the one.” 

I completely fell in love with the characters and the Heritage Cove. Both Melissa and Harvey were fantastic characters. They were complex and were by no means perfect. There was no bad person in their break-up. Harvey, for his own reasons, chose not to go with Melissa to start a new life together. Melissa hasn’t gotten over that. The two are completely stubborn, but they are also older and wiser and begin to maybe understand each other a little more. 

Melissa and Harvey team up together to persuade Barney to not cancel the event of the year, The Wedding Dress Ball. As they spend more time together, they begin to remember why they fell in love in the first place. I loved the flashbacks of the memories they shared. Her feelings are especially confusing since she has a fiance back in London, and she has to do some real soul-searching to determine what man truly holds her heart in his hands. 

Not only was this a second chance romance, but it was a journey of self-discovery for Melissa. She had to finally confront the complex emotions her parents’ deaths stirred in her. She also got to reconnect to the people who shaped so much of her life. 

This was a delightful read, full of charming characters, especially Barney. He seemed to be the heart and soul of the village. He had a gentle spirit and kind heart. I felt like I was a part of the village myself. I’m really looking forward to seeing the characters again in the next book in the series.

Time Out by Emma Murray Blog Tour with Review

Time Out

by Emma Murray

 

About the Book: 

 

‘It’s just a phase,’ they said. ‘These are the happiest years of your life,’ they said…

Mother of one and professional writer Saoirse (pronounced Seersha, not Searcy – thanks a bunch Game of Thrones!) is still adjusting to the demands of motherhood, four years after the birth of her daughter, Anna.

Living in the claustrophobic London suburb of Woodvale, and being surrounded by passive-aggressive mum-wars, isn’t helping. Neither is her increasingly pent-up anger at her once-perfect husband. Her only comrade in arms, best friend Bea, is the one thing keeping her sane.

When Saoirse’s agent asks her to pitch for a book, she is horrified to discover the topic is motherhood. How can she possibly write a ‘warts and all’ account of being a mother without giving away what it’s really like?

Laugh-out-loud funny, painfully well-observed, but with an unmistakable warmth and unforgettable characters, this is the perfect antidote to all those parenting bibles that bear absolutely no relation to real life. The novel may or may not have been inspired by real life…

Christie’s Review

4.5 STARS

A funny, witty, and realistic look at motherhood!!!!

Saoirse had dreams of being a writer. She has achieved that goal…partially…she is a ghostwriter. She dreams that one day she will have her own name on a book. Until then, her job brings in money, and she is a mother to the precocious Anna and wife to the OCD David. Her best friend, Bea, who is a single mother is her only saving grace. She definitely can’t count on the snooty moms in the online group, Vale Mums. 

Her dreams of having her own book may be coming to fruition. Her agent wants her to write a pitch for a book, and she is shocked when she discovers it is about motherhood. As her life spirals out of control, she decides to take a time out in Ireland. She is hoping this will help her write her pitch and figure out the direction her marriage is going. 

Emma Murray’s look into motherhood is funny and brutally honest. I think a lot of women can relate to Saoirise’s deep thoughts. It has been a while since I have been the mother of a toddler, and those were some of the happiest yet hardest and most tiring days of my life. 

This is a book that a great many mothers can relate too…from being exhausted to dealing with judgmental mothers. It also speaks to our need to connect with others in our communities and how we have replaced that with social media! 

This is a must read for all mothers no matter what age your children are!!!!

Synopsis

What if your plus one could be the one…?

They could not be more different in personality, but he too has a summer of events ahead and is desperate to get his family off his back about finding a ‘nice girl’. What if they made a pact to help each other out and be a plus one for the summer? Just as friends of course…?

Christie’s Review

5 STARS

The Plus One Pact by Portia MacIntosh is a hilarious romantic comedy/chick lit that will uplift your spirits from the very first few pages. 

I’m a huge fan of romcoms, and this one is one of my favorites. It had all the elements I like…a great storyline, great characters, and a lot of laughter!!!!

Cara wants a relationship; she wants to be a part of a happy couple. However, it seems as if fate has other plans. This poor woman has dated her fair share of losers. Some not even making it past the first date. She is desperate for a date to her cousin’s wedding as her cousin has invited Cara’s ex. Cara is definitely not looking forward to seeing her controlling ex-boyfriend. 

One night, life changes without Cara even realizing it when she meets Millsy. He comes over after she is stood up. The two talk, and he comes up with a plan to help both of them. They can be each other’s “plus one” for the summer. 

This really is a slow burn romance. They become fast friends even though they are complete opposites. Cara is more methodical and thinks things through. Millsy just sort of enjoys living life. For instance, she is a designer for escape rooms, and he is an actor trying to find his big break. Cara feels like she has trouble attracting men…not so much after her makeover, and Millsy appears to have a revolving door of women in his life. These two together are magic! 

I just adored both characters. Cara doesn’t have much confidence in herself, and she can’t see what others see.  Millsy sees Cara for who she is deep down as a person. It is almost like he can see into her soul. She can truly be herself with him.

“Sometimes I feel more myself, other times I feel like a fraud. But when I’m around Millsy I just feel so at peace with who I am. I feel as if sees me, not what I’m wearing. He’s always seen me.”

Millsy is just the sweetest. He has such much charisma and pretty much has everyone eating out of his hand. Cara described him perfectly. 

“He’s obviously a really good-looking guy and he has this way of making you feel so important. He somehow makes you spend every second questioning why he’s even talking to you, but it’s not because of anything he’s doing”

Not only were Cara and Millsy great characters, but the secondary characters, like Cara and Millsy’s parents are hysterical! They weren’t just empty characters. They really had a lot to add to the story itself. 

There were so many moments that were laugh-out-loud funny! Some of my favorite moments were when these two got themselves into some real jams and the hilarious ways they were able to save themselves pure humiliation!!!!

The elements of romance and humor were combined flawlessly to give me one of my favorite romcom/chick lit books I have read in a long time.

JoJo’s French Escape (A French Escape, Book 3) by Lorraine Wilson Publication Day Push with Review

JoJo’s French Escape

by Lorraine Wilson

About the Book:

‘She had me at Bonjour! Warm, funny, deliciously French…this lovely story filled my heart with sunshine’ Jane Linfoot

Imagine yourself in beautiful France with the sun warm on your face and a glass of wine in your hand…Jojo’s French Escape is the perfect summer read!

Trapped in paradise…

Callum knows all about JoJo’s past, her time as a reality star, the scandal that has dogged her, but he isn’t sure why she’s still hiding?  After spending time with Jojo, it’s obvious to him that she has nothing to be ashamed of – she just needs to be a little braver…
But as much as JoJo likes Callum, he thrives on the glare of the outside world.  Can JoJo let go of her past…with Callum by her side?

Christie’s Review

4 STARS

JoJo’s French Escape is a charming, romantic book just in time for summer reading!

JoJo has spent the last year hiding out in France. She could be in worse places than in the French countryside. Her job as working in a bed and breakfast has been a place of safety and solitude. She never dreamed she would be where she is now. She has been burned badly by social media and her ex-boyfriend. 

She had a wonderful cafe back in England when she was approached to star in a reality show. She was just expecting it to help her business, not ruin her life. Her ex, Aiden, who is a reality star, filmed a sex video of the two of them, and then he proceeded to completely annihilate her life by cheating with her best friend. This poor woman was humiliated just by him, but she was also a victim of bullying on social media blaming her. So, she had no choice but to leave her home, business, family, and friends. She now has some peace with her friend, Poppy, but she may now be in danger of losing her privacy yet again when she discovers guests in the B & B recognize her. Now, a celebrity chef, Callum, is coming to town to help Poppy and her fiance, Leo, get their new barn restaurant started.

JoJo isn’t sure about Cal. He represents everything she is trying to get away from. He isn’t so sure about her. He doesn’t really want to be around her because he thinks she represents everything he doesn’t like…being a person seeking fame. Boy, these two have it completely wrong. Thankfully, they begin to see past their preconceptions about one another, and a sweet love story begins. 

While this is a romance, it is also a book perfect for this day and age of social media. It touches on the dark side of reality television and social media platforms. It is mind-boggling that people will insult and hurt others behind a keyboard and do things they would never do in person. 

This is a wonderful book about starting over, second chances, and love. If you enjoy a lovely setting, heart-warming romance, and fans of some great canines, then you should definitely give this book a try.

A Good Demon Is Hard to Find

by Kate Moseman

 

About the Book: 

Sometimes, a date from hell is just what you need…

When Erin thoughtlessly lays a curse on Mark, her cheating ex-husband, she doesn’t expect a well-dressed Great Earl of Hell to show up in her kitchen to fulfill the curse (and make damn good coffee while he’s at it).

Andromalius specializes in wickedness and revenge. He’s ready, willing, and able to rain down hell on Erin’s ex—but when Mark announces a hasty new marriage, Erin needs more than just revenge.

She needs a date to the wedding.

Fans of Good Omens, Lucifer, and The Good Place will love this wickedly funny paranormal romantic comedy!

Christie’s Review

4 .5 STARS

A Good Demon is Hard to Find by Kate Moseman is a cute, sweet, and funny paranormal romantic comedy!!!!

Erin has had a rough go of it lately. She is newly divorced. Her ex cheated with no other than her now ex-best friend. What’s a betrayed woman to do…in Erin’s case she puts a curse on him. She certainly isn’t expecting a demon to show up in her kitchen to help her. Andromalius, Andy, is there in her time of need. His specialty is revenge. 

Erin and Andy are so cute together. Not only do they discover things about each other, but they discover things about themselves. Andy is irresistible. He is a demon, but there is also a lot of good in him too…hence the title. 

Erin put aside some of her own desires and beliefs to make her ex happy, and through Andy she learns she never has to do that again. She can be true to herself and still love someone and be loved like she deserves. 

The synopsis only scratches the surface of the book. There is a wedding, and Andy is her date. Through their time together, this unlikely match develops real feelings for one another. When her friend, Raya, and another demon, Phoenix, get involved, hilarity and chaos ensue.

Moseman took the genres of romance, paranormal, comedy, and chick lit and wrapped them up flawlessly to create a heck of an enjoyable read! Can’t wait to read Raya and Phoenix’s book when it releases!

The Summer of Falling in Love by Liz Davies Blog Tour with Review

The Summer of Falling in Love

by Liz Davies

About the Book

The thought of having a dog hasn’t crossed Theo Martin’s mind. It’s not that he doesn’t like dogs – he does – but the idea has simply never occurred to him.

It has occurred to his mother though, and when she decides to buy him a puppy because she thinks it will “liven him up a bit”, his life is turned completely upside down and not for the better as far as he’s concerned. But when he discovers that having a cute dog on the end of a lead attracts a great deal of female attention, he soon changes his mind. All kinds of women stop to pet the pup and while they coo over Poppy, they talk to him. A lot. And for Theo, it looks like his love life is taking a very welcome turn for the better.

But what about Josie Wilde, his dog sitter?

Forced to employ someone to walk his dog when he’s in work, he finds himself increasingly attracted to her, but unfortunately Josie’s interest in him appears to be purely professional. As the summer unfolds and he falls head over heels in love with the sweet and vulnerable pup, he finds himself falling for Josie.

For Theo, it’s not so much ‘love me, love my dog’, but more like ‘love my dog, love me, too’. Please…?

---

---

---

Christie’s Review

5 STARS

An uplifting feel-good read perfect for the beginning of summer!!!!

If you love dogs and a sweet romance, this is a book for you!!!! Theo lives a pretty normal, ordinary life. He is a teacher who is looking forward to the summer. What he isn’t expecting is a brand new puppy, but that is just what he gets thanks to his mother who thinks he needs something to spice up his life. He knows nothing about dogs, and he has every intention of re-homing cute little Poppy…to a good home of course. 

Little does Theo know, that little Poppy is about to carve out a very special place in his heart. He has hired a dog sitter, Josie, who comes around to walk her for him when he needs her too. He soon finds himself drawn to the pretty Josie. However, he is enjoying all the female attention he is getting from all of Poppy’s admirers. He just can’t seem to get Josie out of his mind, especially when the two begin sharing dinners together. 

I loved that this book was different from some of the other romances I have read lately. This is told solely from Theo’s POV, which I liked. It was nice to get a book told in a male’s voice. The author also nails it when it comes to the bond between a human and a dog. I have two beautiful sweet fur babies myself, two lovely Labs. I could completely relate to Theo’s fears and love for Poppy. There is nothing like a dog’s love!!!!

I highly recommend reading this sweet, humorous book if you are a dog lover or a fan of sweet romance!!!!

Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love.

She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat – she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days.

She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it.

Art & Soul

by Claire Huston

About the Book: 

There’s no problem Becky Watson can’t fix. Except her own love life…

Struggling single mother Becky Watson longs to revive her career as a life-fixer, working miracles to solve her clients’ problems, no matter how big or small. Since the birth of her two-year-old son she has been stuck preventing wedding fiascos for the richest and rudest residents of the Comptons, a charming, leafy area of southern England known for its artistic heritage.

So when semi-reclusive local artist Charlie Handren reluctantly hires Becky to fix his six-year creative slump, she’s delighted to set him up with a come-back exhibition and Rachel Stone, the woman of his dreams.

Though they get off to a rocky start, Becky and Charlie soon become close. But as the beautiful Rachel becomes Charlie’s muse, Becky is forced to wonder: will giving Charlie everything he wants mean giving up her own happily ever after?

A heart-warming, uplifting romance served with a generous slice of cake. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde and Cathy Kelly.

Christie’s Review

4.5 STARS

What a sweet, uplifting romance!

 

Becky is a fixer and life coach for others, but all her advice and direction has done nothing for her own life. She has no love life to speak of. She is a single mother, who lives paycheck to paycheck, trying to make ends meet for her and her toddler son, Dylan. 

She now has the opportunity to really make a good profit and take a little bit of her worries away when Charlie Handren lands in her life. He is a local artist with loads of talent, but he is in a slump. He can’t seem to get his creative juices flowing. His daughter and his sister think Becky is the answer to everything. He can get his career jump started again and maybe even catch the woman of his dreams, Rachel Stone. If anyone can help him, it’s Becky.

It’s funny though…the more time they spend together, the more complicated their feelings become toward one another. Becky doesn’t know why the thought of Charlie with Rachel illicit such feelings of jealousy. Charlie begins wondering if Rachel really is the woman of his dreams, and why is Becky the one now occupying all of his thoughts?

I loved the slow-building romance of the book. It wasn’t rushed which allowed both of them to work on the issues in their own lives before rushing into a romance. Each one of them has been burned romantically, so trust is a huge roadblock for them. I enjoyed their friendship, and the way their families began to meld together. 

If sweet romances that tug at your heartstrings are your thing, give Art and Soul a try! You won’t regret it!!!!!

The Gift of Cockleberry Bay by Nicola May Blog Tour with Review

The Gift of Cockleberry Bay

by Nicola May 

 

Synopsis

 

From the author of the #1 BESTSELLING The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay

All of our favourite characters from Cockleberry Bay are back in this final, heart warming story in the series. Including Hot, Rosa Smith’s adorable dachshund and his new-born puppies.

Now successfully running the Cockleberry Café and wishing to start a family herself, Rosa feels the time is right to let her inherited Corner Shop go. However, her benefactor left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.

Rosa is torn. How can she make such a huge decision? And will it be the right one? Once the news gets out and goes public, untrustworthy newcomers appear in the Bay . . . their motives uncertain. With the revelation of more secrets from Rosa’s family heritage, a new journey of unpredictable and life-changing events begins to unfold.

The Gift of Cockleberry Bay concludes this phenomenally successful series in typically brisk and bolshy style and will delight the many thousands of Rosa’s fans.

Christie’s Review

4 STARS

Another winner from Nicola May!!!! This charming series has gotten better with every book!

Life is changing for Rosa. She really wants to start a family, and she feels like it is time to let her corner shop go. I could completely understand why this is such a difficult decision for her. It is a part of her heart. Plus, it has to be passed down to someone who really deserves it. What is she going to do? It doesn’t take long for news to travel, and boy does that bring people out of the woodwork? What are their motives? 

If making a life decision isn’t enough, she really, really wants to be a mother. Plus, some more secrets from her family surface too! I have really come to love Rosa throughout the series!!! 

It was wonderful catching up with all the characters that have become so close to my heart….Josh, Titch, little Theo. If you are looking for a sweet read that warms your heart, you can’t go wrong with this one!!!

Meet the Author

Nicola May lives in the UK, five miles from the Queen’s castle in Windsor, with her black-and-white rescue cat, Stan. Her hobbies include watching films that involve a lot of swooning, crabbing in South Devon and devouring cream teas.

Her bestselling The Corner Shop in Cockleberry, the 1st book in the Cockleberry Bay series, went to #1 on Amazon and stayed there for an unprecedented 6 weeks.

She classes her novels as ‘chicklit with a kick,’ writing about love, life and friendships in a real, not fluffy kind of way. She likes burgers, mince pies, clocks, birds, bubble baths and facials – but is not so keen on aubergines.
