Love Home on the Road Home by Margaret Amatt #Review #GlenbriarBook15

We are returning to the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Margaret Amatt's  fifteenth in her Glenbriar  Series:Love Match on the Road Home. This latest novel was published on 3rd October by Leannan Press   After tennis star Georgie Porter retires at just thirty-one, she buys a campervan and returns to her hometown of Glenbriar, hoping to make amends for the hurts she caused to a former sweetheart.

A Greek Affair by Linn B Halton ** Blog Tour Review & Giveaway**

I am delighted to be featuring Linn B Halton's romance, A Greek Affair on the blog today. There is also the chance to win Rose Wine and Chocolates. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post. 
 

More than just a holiday romance?


Her daughter, her job and divorcing her untrustworthy ex are Leah’s main priorities. She isn’t really bothered that her life might be missing a few things. But after winning a prestigious travel blogger award, she’s inundated with offers to review glamorous holiday destinations. Lying around drinking exotic cocktails and being paid for it! What could be better?


Perhaps a romantic trip to idyllic Greece to find the one man who might make Leah risk her heart again…


My Thoughts

It is great to be able to escape to Greece for a short time in the middle of the January post - Christmas period. Travel is at the centre of the story as Leah is a travel blogger and I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of the places she visited on her cruise and of course, of Athens. 

   Leah turns out to be an interesting character with a complicated backstory which is never totally resolved. Not all the loose ends are neatly tied up at the end, which I like. Leah's friendships are shown to be as important to her as her family and I found Harrison, in particular, to be a good addition to the story. 

  Taking a risk second time around is not an easy thing to do when there are other people involved, especially children and this feels like a mature romance rather than 'love's young dream'. Leah shows that she has a determined streak to protect her daughter and to succeed. She can be proactive and learnt not to just sit back and take what life has to throw at her.

In short: romance grows amongst the ruins.
