The Disgraced Knight's Redemption by Ella Matthews #Review TheKnightsMissionsSeriesBook3

    The Disgraced Knight's Redemption, the third in Ella Matthews' series, The Knight's Missions, was published by Harlequin Historicals on October 23rd.    A disgraced warrior… Torn between duty and desire! Sir Tristan must win back his honor. His orders from King Edward are simple: seek out the leader of Pwll Du Castle—the unmarried Lady Catrin—and demand she leaves. As Tristan is renowned for his lethal charm and handsome looks, how can she resist? But when the beautiful Welshwoman comes under siege from her covetous neighbor, Tristan finds himself fighting for her! Yet, is it a losing battle? For securing the castle and fulfilling his knightly duty will mean letting Catrin go…  My Thoughts This medieval romance can easily be read as a standalone. You are taken to medieval Wales where Sir Tristan has been tasked by the King to remove Lady Catrin from her position in charge of Pwll Du Castle.

Passport to Happiness by Carrie Stone #Review

Welcome to today's blog and the latest novel by Carrie Stone, Passport to Happiness.


An inspiring and escapist read – Eat, Pray, Love meets Bridget Jones!



Will the trip of her dreams…

Everly Carter is bored.

With her job, with her single status and with the never ending line of rubbish men on Tinder.  Tired of going through the motions of seeming happy, Everly wants to be happy!



So, in a spontaneous moment of bravery (perhaps spurred on by a few cocktails) Everly books a holiday.  Time away, alone, to find out what she really wants from life.


Become the journey of her lifetime?


Everly’s search for happiness takes her to picturesque Swiss villages and the sunsets of glamourous Bermuda.  But with every new stamp in her passport, Everly still feels as though something is missing…


Could it be that true happiness is hard to find, until she finds herself?

My Thoughts

In this romcom, you get to follow Everly as she literally travels the world in an attempt to find a place she feels at home and people she feels comfortable with. She travels from London to Switzerland, Bermuda to Bali and you get to go along with her. The descriptions of Bermuda and Bali bring the places alive.

The best part of the book for me was the journey which Everly went on in her quest to find a place she felt at home. She soon tires of the party lifestyle and you get to see that there are other things which motivate her and which give her fulfilment. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters and shows that she can see through the fakes and seeks out those who are sincere. 

    If you want a story which literally offers you escapism, this is the one. 

In short: Foreign climes offer a whole range of possibilites.
