Coming Home to Maple Lodge by Alison Sherlock #Review

  I am delighted to feature the first in Alison Sherlock's new series set in the Corswolds. Coming Home to Maple Tree Lodge was published by Boldwood Books on June 20th.

Here Comes the Best Man by Angela Britnell ** Blog Tour Review**

Today we are featuring Here Comes the Best Man by Angela Britnell on the blog today. Her latest novella in the Nashville Connections series was published on 10th July.
 

Being the best man is a lot to live up to …



When troubled army veteran and musician Josh Robertson returns home to Nashville to be the best man at his younger brother Chad’s wedding he’s just sure that he’s going to mess it all up somehow.



But when it becomes clear that the wedding might not be going to plan, it’s up to Josh and fellow guest Louise Giles to make sure that Chad and his wife-to-be Maggie get their perfect day.



Can Josh be the best man his brother needs? And is there somebody else who is beginning to realise that Josh could be her ‘best man’ too?

My Thoughts

 There is plenty to enjoy in this novella. Most of all I appreciated the cast of characters who were introduced. Anyone who has ever been connected with organising a wedding will recognise the chaos it can bring, with too many people wanting to voice their opinions on canapes and favours. It captures the ups and downs of this pre-wedding period when everyone's emotions are heightened.

    I also enjoyed the contrast between the Southern charm and English reserve which gives rise to some humour, especially when discussing the two countries' customs and tastes. It is a quick, enjoyable read, with plenty of romance as Josh and Louise try to come to terms with the past. 

In short: Cornwall comes to Nashville for an entertaining, romantic episode.
