Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen

  This is a new to me author but I am delighted to feature on the celebrations for the latest novel by Christy McKellen , Best Mistake Ever . It was published by Boldwood on 16th January. Some mistakes are worth making Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought. Not only does he have impossibly high standards, he’s also out of this world gorgeous, an ex-rockstar with a chip on his shoulder and he's watching her like a hawk!

Wrapped Up for Christmas by Katlyn Duncan #Review


Festive reading continues with Katlyn Duncan's Wrapped Up for Christmas.
 
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… but not for Angie Martinelli…


Having lost her boyfriend, job, and apartment all in the space of a week, Angie has no choice but to leave California and return to her family in New England.


 Determined not to let life weigh her down, Angie finds work at the local mall where she worked as a teenager. After an embarrassing run-in with a handsome stranger, Nick, she’s convinced her luck is about to change.


But Nick has secrets of his own…  and as the first flakes of snow begin to fall, Angie can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever find love.


My Thoughts
This festive read really captures the essence of the holiday season - being a good neighbour and being kind to each other. Angie has had a difficult few years but has returned back to her childhood home and appreciates the community she finds there. Family love and looking out for those who are weaker seems to be part of her make-up and she finds real satisfaction from helping others. 

    I enjoyed Nick's story and his relationship with his brother's family. It shows you what sort of person he is. The main characters are all likeable and sympathetic. Angie's friends and family are all an entertaining bunch and I smiled at her family as they were curious as to what was going on in her life. It felt so true to life. It is a relaxing and comforting read which makes you smile- a real page turner..    

In short: Brimful of love and kindness.
