Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen

  This is a new to me author but I am delighted to feature on the celebrations for the latest novel by Christy McKellen , Best Mistake Ever . It was published by Boldwood on 16th January. Some mistakes are worth making Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought. Not only does he have impossibly high standards, he’s also out of this world gorgeous, an ex-rockstar with a chip on his shoulder and he's watching her like a hawk! So Bea uses her charm to keep him fo...

The Silver Bells Christmas Pantomime by Lynsey James *Blog Tour* *Giveaway*

 
  Christmas comes early to Books, Life and Everything!

    I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for Lynsey James' next book, The Silver Bells Christmas Pantomime. Published in e-book form on November 10th 2016, by Carina, it is available from Amazon.

I’m also excited to be able to offer UK only readers the chance to win a £25 theatre voucher with the ATG theatre group.  You can enter the giveaway at the bottom of this blog post.  


This Christmas pantomime is about to be the talk of the town! Luna Bay’s festive preparations are well under way and the much anticipated annual pantomime is to be, once again, the highlight of the season. Too bad that the village’s very own actress and darling of Broadway, Alice Woods, isn’t feeling in the mood for Christmas.

Until the pantomime comes under threat and a grief-stricken Alice is forced to push her personal pain aside and step up to direct – after all, the show must go on..

 So with (more than) a little help from her new found friends, not to mention one very gorgeous Hollywood A-list celebrity, the play begins to come together, but will Alice finally believe that Christmas is a time for miracles after all?

The Silver Bells Christmas Pantomime is a lovely seasonal romance, just right for when you fancy a quick read to get you in the mood for Christmas. This is the third in the Luna Bay series but it can be read as a standalone, as I did. It has all the ingredients you'd expect- cozy settings and wintry nights but there is more to the book than that. There is the humour to be found in the characters, especially in the cast and director of the pantomime itself. Then there is Alice as she tries to come to terms with a tragedy in her past. A winter cocktail of hilarious one liners and poignant emotion, I flew through the pages of the book. 

 In short: Starting again and second chances wrapped up in a Christmas glow.

 Thanks to HQ Digital and NetGalley for a copy of the book and to Jenny from Jenny in Neverland for a place on the Blog Tour



                                                           About the Author: 

 Lynsey James was born in Fife in 1991 and has been telling people how to spell her name ever since. She's an incurable bookworm who loves nothing more than getting lost in a good story with memorable characters. She started writing when she was really young and credits her lovely Grandad- and possibly a bump on the head from a Mr Frosty machine- with her love of telling stories. She used to write her own episodes of Friends and act them out in front of her family (in fact she's sure she put Ross and Rachel together first!)

A careers adviser at school once told Lynsey writing wasn’t a “good option” and for a few years, she believed her. She tried a little bit of everything, including make-up artistry, teaching and doing admin for a chocolate fountain company. The free chocolate was brilliant. When Lynsey left her job a couple of years ago, she started writing full-time while she looked for another one. As soon as she started working on her story, Lynsey fell in love and decided to finally pursue her dream. She haven’t looked back since.

When Lynsey's not writing, eating cake or drinking tea, she's daydreaming about the day Dylan O’Brien FINALLY realises they're meant to be together. It’ll happen one day…
