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. Cash strapped Lily needs a successful project to prove to herself and her high-achieving parents that she can carve a successful career and Maple Tree Lodge sounds like just the place for Lily to showcase her talents.

I Will Follow Him by Holly Tierney-Bedford #Review

I am delighted to bring you number 5 in the Oceanic Dreama Series, I Will Follow Him, on its Publication Day!  It can be read as a standalone although there are plenty in the series for you to sample.



A bachelor party on a cruise ship. What could go wrong?

When private detective Francie is hired to spy on a groom-to-be as he and his bachelor party set sail for the Caribbean, she thinks she's landed herself a week of paid vacation. Between lounging in the sun and sipping margaritas, she just needs to--best case scenario--report back that he's on the up and up, or--the unfortunate, more likely scenario--snap a few photos of her target in compromising positions, buy a box of sympathy chocolates for her client, and then collect her pay along with a nice golden suntan.

Blame it on the island breezes or the alcohol, but within hours of setting sail, Francie's leisurely vacation gets complicated when she starts making careless mistakes. Like accidentally becoming friends with the groom and falling for his best man.

Can she get herself and her mission back on track, or has she blown her cover and possibly even her career?

My Thoughts

There is plenty of humour for you in this book as Francie sets out to investigate a groom- to- be on his stag party cruise. Nothing goes to plan as you would expect and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments. In fact, I would say there is more comedy in this story than romance but it is still there all the same.
    You get the feeling that you know where this story is heading from early on. I must say that it is the long distance bride who has a big effect as her text messages roll in by the dozen. You certainly find your sympathies start to veer of course. Francie will always make you laugh, from her attempts to stay under cover to her wardrobe mishaps. The organised events will make you want to run a mile! This is a lighthearted read for a holiday.

In short: All at sea with no escape!
