Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble #Review #HomeFrontNurses

  It is now 1943 and we follow the lives of the Home Front Nurses as they cope with the effects of the Second World War. Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble is published on February 13th by Boldwood Books .     ‘Come on, Kathy… tell me a secret.’ 1943: Becoming a Home Front nurse, meant Kathy Scott was finally able to escape the violence of her childhood. At long last, her life has taken a turn for the better. Particularly because, for the very first time, she’s made some wonderful friends–fellow nurses Sylvia, Freda and Veronica. Kathy’s known for not being short of a word or two. So nobody’s more surprised than her when she finds herself tongue-tied around Freda’s handsome brother, James – who’s home from war with an unexplained injury.   My Thoughts   The story of the Home Front Nurses continues into 1943 and Freda's ambition to nurse abroad gets ever closer.

Bridesmaids by Zara Stoneley #Review #Publivcation Day


 I am so happy to be taking part in the Publication Day celebrations for Zara Stoneley's Bridesmaids.
 
Meet Rachel, the beautiful bride with BIG plans for the perfect day! The venue is a castle and the dress is designer.  It’s just a shame her husband is a rat.


Maddie and Sally have only one thing in common – they both love the same man!



Beth is a newly single mum with a mystery baby daddy.  Surely the father isn’t someone the girls all know?



And then there’s Jane, the glue holding them all together, but being dumped doesn’t make her the happiest bridesmaid…especially with gorgeous flatmate Freddie complicating things.


Will the bride say, ‘I Do!’?  Or will her bridesmaids save the day…and find love along the way?  


The most hilarious, feel-good rom com of the year!


My Thoughts

Bridesmaids turned out to be a really fun read with some laugh out loud moments and complicated situations. The group of friends who are brought together as bridesmaids for Rachel are all distinct characters with their own issues to work through. Central to them is Jane, who can't see what is before her eyes and who spends a lot of time trying to forget her disastrous engagement and wedding plans. There are secrets which swirl around and I must say that there are a few red herrings to keep you on your toes.

    This is a quick, fast read which will cheer you up if needed and keep you reading to the end. It is divided into 3 parts as the wedding preparations get underway and culminates at the wedding day. With friendships under strain, it nevertheless made for a funny, humorous read.

In short: A sparkling romcom which puts female friendship under the microscope.
