We are returning to France for another great summer read by Gillian Harvey . The Village Cafe in the Loire was published by Boldwood on July 12th. High-flyer Becky Thorne cannot believe what she’s being told. She doesn’t need to be signed off for burnout! Life has been a bit chaotic lately, that’s all. As if dealing with her enviable job and permanent meddling from her mother aren’t enough, she’s also inherited a café in the Loire from an estranged great-aunt, complete with sitting tenant who refuses to budge. But nobody stands in Becky’s way! Ignoring her best friend Amber’s advice, she decides to storm over to France and sort the tenant out. Then she can finally get the café sold and jump back on the career ladder. What she doesn’t count on is the tenant being Pascale, who is six feet of tall, dark, handsome and extremely grumpy about her plans for change. Not to mention the village and the secrets it holds about her past. Becky’s path to succes...
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.
