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...

The Cornish Secret of Summer's Promise by Laura Briggs #ALittleHotelInCornwallBook4 #Review #Giveaway


 On Publication Day, I am delighted to return to Laura Briggs' A Little Hotel in Cornwall for the 4th in the series, The Cornish Secret of Summer's Promise which will I hope take us away from this cold January we find ourselves in. There is also a great giveaway to enter. Details are at the foot of this post.
 
As spring slips away from the hotel Penmarrow, excitement builds for an exclusive auction hosted at the hotel, featuring priceless possessions from a Hollywood actress turned lady of the manor, including her famous diamonds. Celebrities and collectors form a crowd that is keeping Maisie and the rest of staff busy, even as Maisie faces a crossroads for her manuscript.



But when the diamonds are stolen and Sidney is accused by the authorities, Maisie's dilemma as a writer is pushed aside out of fear that his future in Port Hewer is in jeopardy. Desperation to prove that someone else is behind the theft will lead Maisie to uncover a very different secret outside of jewel thieves and village rumors ... one that could change her life and her future forever.



Can Maisie deal with the latest secrets exposed — including those that paint Sidney's past in a questionable light? And as summer's dawn alters her idyllic life in Cornwall, will Maisie's feelings for Sidney change as well?


My Thoughts
This can be read as a standalone but you would honestly get more from the book if you were to read the first 3 in the series first. That way, you pick up on the relationships between the characters that much quicker. This one was a bit of a surprise for me, especially with its ending which I kept hoping would not actually take place. You realise how far Maisie has come since she first appeared at the hotel and you get to see just how important her ambition to publish her novel actually is to her. Maisie also gets to find out more about the mysterious author, Alistair Davies, who she has been seeking. I must admit, I was blindsided over that as well.

    Maisie's romance with Sidney reaches a crossroads in this instalment of their story and I am looking  forward to the next story to find out what happens next! As ever, it is the characters in the hotel and village who make the book come alive and who give it colour. This is a great little series and has the added flavour , this time, of a whodunnit!

In short: Maisie's Cornish adventure continues...
