  Welcome to Book 41 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Teacakes and Tangos  is the latest novella by Rosie Green.   Clara’s dance school is finally open, much to the excitement of the residents of Sunnybrook.

But when the school is threatened with closure, will Clara’s dream be over before it’s even begun?

Meet Me at Pebble Beach by Bella Osborne #Review

It's time to celebrate Meet me at Pebble Beach by Bella Osborne which is published by Avon on 28th May.

Regan is holding a winning lottery ticket.

Goodbye to the boyfriend who never had her back, and so long to the job she can’t stand!
Except it’s all a bit too good to be true…

When Regan gets pranked, she finds herself jobless, homeless and boyfriendless in one fell swoop.

Luckily her friendly seaside community provides a beacon of hope, proving to Regan that sometimes you really can rely on the kindness of others – and one local in particular, a handsome fireman called Charlie, helps Regan realise that this could be her chance for a fresh start.

Armed with a list of ways to change her life, Regan decides it’s time to step out of her comfort zone. Because – as Charlie knows all too well – life is for living . . .

A feel-good summer read, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Veronica Henry and Cressida McLaughlin.

My Thoughts

 Meet Me at Pebble Beach started life as a four part series which is how I first started to read it. I found it to be warm and funny and was soon drawn into Regan's story. Her life is catapulted through a huge change at the beginning and the people she knows are also established vividly and you are aware that they all have their own backstory. You learn quite a lot about Regan’s inherent kindness and warmth so you are rooting for her from the start.

    Set in Brighton, you get to meet some great characters  as Regan starts to reinvent herself and start again. A romcom which is full of fun, nevertheless, you find some more sombre issues there, such as homelessness.  You know from the cover, that this is ultimately going to be a heart-warming tale, full of life.

In short: Love and friendship by the sea
