Rumours, Romance and Rhubarb Crumble by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook45

  Welcome to Book 45 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Rumours, Romance and Rhubarb Crumble is the latest novella by Rosie Green and was published on March 29th.   When Gertie buys a run-down house 'by accident', she considers it the latest fail in a series of disasters! Her job at the Little Duck Pond Café and the friends she's made there are a big comfort – especially as temporary boss Alice seems to be going out of her way to make her life difficult. But then Gertie meets the handsome Rafe – and her life takes a turn she definitely wasn't expecting . . . My Thoughts I enjoyed getting to know Gertie in this latest novella in the series and to catch up with some familiar characters who make up the Little Duck Pond community.  Not all the workers in the cafe are warm and welcoming at first, however, but you find out that there is more to the temporary Manager than meets the eye. Gertie finds herself living in a cottage in need of a lot of TLC but with a slight...

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!
