His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert #Review

    His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert will take you to a different country and season. It was published by Le Vin Press on 1st November 2025. Widowed, fired, and 50, Claire is one hot mess. This later in life romance hits like a snowball packed with grief and hope and mystery and the kind of second-chance that says, “I didn’t think I’d ever feel this again, and now I’m terrified, but… Hi.” Romance that’s frost melting off a windowpane. It’s “I forgot my heart could do this.” It’s love doesn’t have an expiration date. Twinkly lights, mulled wine and flaming crêpes so immerse you in Christmas markets—you’ll book a flight to France before the fares go up. A book club fiction favourite, Claire’s journey of self-discovery is perfect for fans of women’s fiction and stories about strong women over 50 navigating reinvention with inspiration, humour, with a delicious frosting of romance. “Give yourself the gift of a lush, romantic, French adventure and be swept away ...

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.
