Maddy's Christmas Wedding by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafeBook37#review

  Here we are at Book 37 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Maddie's Christmas Wedding is the latest novella by Rosie Green.   With the wedding of the year approaching, excitement is running high at the café! But there's just one problem. Maddy is grappling with a secret. Could it derail all of hers and Jack's glorious plans for their big day? Will there actually be a wedding?   My Thoughts In this latest festive story, we are taken out of Sunnybrook, in fact, out of the country and taken for a wintry stay in Lapland. It is Maddy's hen party gathering so some of the Little Duck Pond characters are along too. The story continues on from the earlier Cosy Nights and Snowball Fights . The setting is idyllic and so different to life at home. Everything shimmers and shines in the snow and the temperatures are extreme. Maddy should be having the time of her life but she finds that she has a lot on her mind and a heartbreaking decision to make.     With the men le...

Sunshine over Bluebell Castle by Sarah Bennett #Review


  I am delighted to be on the blog tour for the second in the Bluebell Castle series by Sarah Bennett. Sunshine over Bluebell Castle was published on August 5th by HQ Digital. You can read my review of Spring Skies over Bluebell Castle here.


 
The summer she will never forget…


Time’s running out for Iggy Ludworth to restore the wild gardens of Camland Castle in time for the Summer Fete, so she ropes in hotshot gardener Will Talbot…


But she regrets her decision as soon as he sets foot in the historic grounds – not only is Will arrogant and bossy, he’s totally gorgeous!


And very soon, sparks are flying amongst the bluebells. Yet with summer nearly over, will their summer fling convince Will and Iggy to go the distance?


Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley, Rachael Lucas and Hilary Boyd.


Book 1: Spring Skies Over Bluebell Castle

Book 2: Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle

Book 3: Starlight Over Bluebell Castle


My Thoughts

I have been anticipating the next instalment in this series and it did not let me down.  The setting is as gorgeous as ever and is the focus for the storyline, with its romantic landscape. The second in the series centres on Iggy, the eldest of the triplets who has to step aside for her younger brother. The relationships between all the siblings and their extended family is warm and humorous, with a lovely informal side which fills the castle with life. 

    Will proves to be a great addition with his own interesting backstory. His background is as far from Iggy's as you could get but it is clear pretty soon that they have a connection. We also learn more about the triplet's mother . As can be expected from Sarah Bennett, she has created quite a character and one with a few surprises to spring. This is a great book to escape into, full of warmth and family. 

In short: Summer at Camland Castle fizzes with life.
