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!

The Theatre of Dreams by Rosie Travers **Blog Tour Review**


Welcome to my stop on the first day of the blog tour for Rosie Travers' debut novel, The Theatre of Dreams. 


Musical theatre actress Tara is down on her luck and in desperate need of a job.

When terminally-ill octogenarian Kitty invites her to take over the running of her former dance academy in the old-fashioned resort of Hookes Bay, Tara thinks she’s found her guardian angel.

But it soon becomes very clear Kitty is being far from benevolent.

Too late, Tara realises helping Kitty will signal the end of an already tarnished career, unless she can pull off the performance of a life-time...

                                                                                 My Thoughts

The Theatre of Dreams proved to be a very enjoyable debut mystery romance with some interesting characters and a satisfying plot. Tara is a lively central character and I enjoyed following her story. Acting a role runs right through the novel and you are kept guessing as to who is acting a part and who is being true to themselves. There is a dash of humour in Tara's dealings with the people she meets, which makes her come alive.

    Kitty is also a strong female character who I enjoyed getting to know. She is wily and driven and you are kept guessing as to what is her real motivation in bringing Tara to Hookes Bay. It is a great holiday read as the writing flows so well and you are invested not only in the mysteries which abound but in the romance.

In short: A sparky heroine and a romance which keeps you guessing.

I like to write stories with a twist, a sprinkling of humour and a dash of tragedy.  My aim is to entertain and raise a smile.
I’ve always had a very vivid imagination and my passion for writing began at a very early age.  As a teenager I scribbled, then typed, numerous novels and short stories, none of which I was ever brave enough to show to anyone. My hobby was put on hold while mortgages, marriage, and motherhood took over. In fact, it stayed hidden for a good twenty or so years until I unexpectedly found myself with some spare time on my hands. In 2009 I left the UK to accompany my husband on an overseas work assignment to California. I started a blog about my life in the US, and from there everything mushroomed. I re-discovered my creative juices.  I am a member of the Romantic Novelists Association New Writers Scheme and Hampshire Writers Society. I now live on the south coast of England with my husband and a very spoilt cat.

The Theatre of Dreams is my first novel
