Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage by Della Galton #DuckPondCottageBook2 #Review #PublicationDay

  I am loving returning to the Duck Pond Cottage series by Della Galton . Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage is published today by Boldwood Books on February 22nd.   Can love conquer all? Jade and Finn are idyllically happy in their little corner of rural Wiltshire. A rescue centre jampacked with animals keeps them super busy. With Finn’s art going from strength to strength, Jade can’t believe they’re living the dream until an arrogant property developer with questionable motives jeopardises their perfect lives and the future plans of the rescue centre. Jade and Finn both have trust issues and they’ve promised there’ll be no more secrets. But keeping promises is harder than either of them imagined, especially where Finn’s past is concerned. Living with Mr Spock the potty-mouthed parrot and Mickey the dog who barks at TV baddies there's never a dull moment at Duck Pond Rescue. But will the humans get their ‘happy-ever-after’ too? Can they lay the ghosts of the ...

Probably the Best Kiss in the World by Pernille Hughes #Review

Today we have  Pernille Hughes' latest novel, Probaby the Best Kiss in the World.


Jen Attison likes her life Just So. But being fished out of a canal in Copenhagen by her knickers is definitely NOT on her to do list. From cinnamon swirls to a spontaneous night of laughter and fireworks, Jen’s city break with the girls takes a turn for the unexpected because of her gorgeous, mystery rescuer.

Back home, Jen faces a choice. A surprise proposal from her boyfriend, ‘boring’ Robert has offered Jen the safety net she always thought she wanted. But with the memories of her Danish adventure proving hard to forget, maybe it’s time for Jen to stop listening to her head and start following her heart…


My Thoughts

As you read this book, it becomes clear that the past is having a great effect on Jen and on her sister. You get to see how they work out their issues and whether they are able to move on and embrace a new future. There are some genuinely funny parts to the story and although the past has some horrific events, for the main part, there is a hopeful story. 
    Jen, in particular, has a quirky character although she feels a great deal of responsibility for her younger sister. You always feel that you are rooting for her as she shows her courage and determination throughout. With a great lashing of romance and a certain depth to the relationships which are explored, this turns out to be an enjoyable and at times, thought provoking read.

In short: Follow the passion!
