A Perfect Devon Farmhouse by Debbie Morrison #Review

  A Perfect Devon Farmhouse by Debbie Morrison was published by Prosperina Press  on 28 Jan. 2025.   Escape to the coastal village of Brambleton with this heartwarming love story filled with intrigue and rural charm ‘Heartwarming, emotional and full of community spirit. I couldn't put it down’ Amanda Prowse Clare’s life has just been turned upside down. Yesterday she was a successful London lawyer, about to travel the world on a well-deserved sabbatical. Now she’s back in her childhood home in rural north Devon, after the sudden death of her mother. Brambleton is a picture-perfect seaside village, where everyone knows your name and where secrets don’t stay behind closed doors for long. Clare left it behind for a reason along with an old flame she wants to leave firmly in the past. Yet, as she gradually learns to collect eggs from unruly chickens, make apple cider on frosty mornings, and look after her mother’s tearaway dog, she begins to fall under the spell of...

The Dinner in the Sky by Anne John-Ligali #Review


Today we have the third in Anne John-Ligali's On-line Friendship series, Dinner in the Sky. You can check out my reviews of the first two here: The Big Event   |  The Weekend Spa Break 


After a shocking confrontation with an unexpected encounter, Constance tries to piece her life back together and is on a mission to finally move on.



The thought of having her friends near is comforting as they take time out of their busy online lives and meet up at their favourite place, A Cupful of Dreams Café. Everyone seems happy enough until cracks begin to show and all is not as good as it seems. Constance tries desperately to keep positive as there’s so much to look forward to: shopping for posh frocks, dinner at The Shard and a movie premiere.



As things start to look rosy, a few odd tweets begin to pop up from nowhere. At first, they seem innocent, but as the weeks go by and premier night draws near, not only do the tweets increase but they become more obnoxious.



By the time Constance and her chums arrive on the red carpet, she’s determined to work out who the troll could be and to keep them from spoiling her evening. However as Constance soon learns, the troll wants to destroy far more than that!



Breathtaking views of London.



Posh frocks and Paparazzi



But there’s definitely trouble in the air …


My Thoughts

The third in the series carries straight on from The Weekend Spa Break and we get to find out what Constance does next. This instalment feels like a much more densely plotted story but has the same romcom feel. You get to see some of the downside of social media which makes the series seem current.

    Constance is a likeable and sympathetic character. We see the story unfold through her eyes and get to meet up with her quirky and colourful friends, who add to the story. You also get to see the difficulties Constance faces in bringing up her son, who is on the Autistic Spectrum. Some characters are full of understanding about how to help him and others have no idea. This is a huge pointer as to a character's ability to be empathetic and care. 

Although this is the third in a series, it is possible to read as a standalone as some aspects are recapped during the story. 
Give it a go!

In short: a contemporary love story
