Coming Home to Maple Lodge by Alison Sherlock #Review

  I am delighted to feature the first in Alison Sherlock's new series set in the Corswolds. Coming Home to Maple Tree Lodge was published by Boldwood Books on June 20th. A family and hotel in desperate need of help… Maple Tree Lodge has been the home of the Jackson family for over a century. But the hotel has never been a success and, following the sudden loss of his father, architect Ben Jackson soon discovers the hotel is close to financial ruin. Ben has to make some tough decisions if the hotel is to survive and his family are to keep a roof over their heads. With the hotel in urgent need of a renovation, Ben’s sister calls on the talents of her best friend, interior designer Lily Watson.

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!
