The Other Lizzie Bennett by Rosie Green #Review #TheLittleDuckPondCafeBook44

  Here we are at Book 44 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! The Other Lizzie Bennett  is the latest novella by Rosie Green and was published on January 31st.   Lizzie Bennet, new recruit at the Little Duck Pond CafĂ©, is well used to people teasing her about her name. Actually, she rather likes the fact she shares it with one of author Jane Austen's most popular heroines. But when life weirdly starts to imitate fiction, it's suddenly a very different matter. With two potential heroes appearing over the horizon, it's obvious which one Lizzie should go for – isn't it?   My Thoughts  Any fans of Pride and Prejudice will enjoy this novella immensely, with its various pointers to the original novel and to Jane Austen's life. The Lizzie Bennett in this story takes against Dante, who is tall, dark and handsome and a dead ringer for Mr Darcy. Her first impression of him is not great, though she is enamoured with her boyfriend who everyone else regards as a self-cen...

A second chance at love…


When globe-trotting Emmy first fell for first-aider William on a freezing New Year’s Eve, she really believed that their love would go the distance.


 But when she returns to Australia, her letters start to go unanswered and her emails bounce back unread, Emmy decides it’s time to pick up the pieces of her broken heart and start afresh in London.


 So she’s shocked when William walks in on her very first day at her new job! Even worse, he’s hotter than ever. But why did he disappear for so long? What has he been hiding? And could this really be their second chance at falling in love…?


Perfect for fans of Carole Mathews, Mhairi McFarlane and Carrie Hope Fletcher.

My Thoughts

This is a lovely read about Emmy and William whose paths cross by chance and then seem to keep meeting again. There are lashings of chemistry between them from the start and after they meet up again, some years later in London, you follow their 'will they, won't they' story. There are some sweet moments in the book and also some humour in parts as Emmy settles into life in London. I found both their characters to be engaging and you do end up rooting for them.

    Friendship and family are at the centre of this story It is all about taking second chances and facing up to your true feelings. There are some great descriptions of the places which Emmy finds herself in- Hogmanay in Edinburgh, Paris and London, as well as life back in Sydney. For a light-hearted romance, this fits the bill.

In short: Second chances are there to be taken.
