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! So Bea uses her charm to keep him fo...

Coming Home to Merriment Bay Part Four: Starry Skies by Emily Harvale #Review


I am delighted to be taking part in the celebrations for Part Four in Emily Harvale's latest serial, Coming Home to Merriment Bay- Christmas. You can read my review of Part One: The Reunion here , Part Two: Sparks Fly here and Part Three Christmas here

Part Four of this heartwarming four-part serial about finding the strength to put the past behind you and to reach out for a future filled with happiness and love.



Cat is reeling from the unexpected events of Christmas and as Merriment Bay prepares to toast in the New Year, she’s facing choices she never thought she’d have to make. Her head and her heart are pulling her in very different directions.



Bailey is sitting by Viola’s bedside, regaling everyone with tales from the past but is there any chance he’ll get to see a smile on the lips of the woman he still loves?



Having realised she has made mistakes, will Mary finally tell Cat what she really wants to know?



And what will the New Year bring for Kyra? Will she fulfil the plans she made before she came to Merriment Bay?



When distressing events end more than one person’s dream, can Cat find the strength to fight for the Love she deserves? Sometimes it takes a crisis to make someone realise what they truly want. And Cat has decided what – and who – that really is. But is she too late?


This is Part Four, Starry Skies, of a new, four-part serial. The other three parts are:

Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part One:The Reunion
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Two: Sparks Fly

Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Three: Christmas



  The Merriment Bay series is interconnected to Emily's Wyntersleap series. Each series can be read alone, but several characters appear in both series.




My Thoughts

 This was a great final part to the Coming Home to Merriment Bay series and it managed to tie up a few loose ends, answered some questions and left an opening for new stories for the characters. Emily's writing flows along with a consistency between the different parts and her characters act true to the natures she has created for them. 

    Family ties continued to dominate the story and proved to be important to both Cat, Amias and the visitors from Canada. There was a real feeling of coming to terms with the past for several of the characters. I did find that Cat's daughter, Kyra had a self-possession and interesting streak of maturity for someone so young and as she adapted to life in Merriment Bay, you got to see it as she did as a newcomer. I am looking forward to getting to know more about the stories I am sure are hiding there.

In short: A five star series.
