The Little Campsite by the Sea by Elizabeth Holland #Review

  Today I am featuring a romance by an author who is new to me. Elizabeth Holland's The Little Cam[site by the Sea was published on November 1st. Beth never planned to return to Llancariad—or to see Rhys again. Beth Alden hasn't been home in years. The small seaside village of Llancariad holds too many painful memories, but when her mother suffers a fall, she has no choice but to go home. As Beth settles back into life in North Wales, she’s forced to confront how much time has passed and how much her mother needs her. While trying to save the family's struggling campsite, Beth’s past catches up with her, stirring her anxiety and reminding her why she left.   Then Rhys Howell, her childhood best friend and first kiss, offers to help.   Rhys has never forgotten Beth or the kiss that changed everything. As they work together to revive the campsite, their friendship reignites, along with feelings he’s spent years trying to ignore. But while Rhys can imagine their fut...

Willows Wedding Vows by Debbie Viggiano #Review

We have another romcom today in Willow's Wedding Vows by Debbie Viggiano which was published on 28th April. 
 
Wedding vows have never been this personal…

Willow has been living with marriage-shy Charlie for more years than she cares to remember and is old-fashioned enough to want a wedding band and a loads-of-sex honeymoon before stretchmarks and nipple shields.

So when the once-wary Charlie surprisingly goes down on one knee, Willow doesn’t question why her boyfriend is suddenly so keen to rush her into saying “I do”.

The first clue comes as Willow is zipped into her Cinderella dress, the second as she bobs into the wedding car, and the third as the Roller swings towards its fairy-tale destination… leaving a shell-shocked Willow desperately trying to figure out what to do next.


A bride can do anything she wants on her wedding day, but nobody expected her to do this…
 
My Thoughts
 
 This is definitely not a book to be taken seriously! In this romcom, you will find Willow who is desperate to marry her long-term boyfriend, Charlie, who we know from the strat is certainly not marriage material! He has absolutely no intention of entering into ant form of commitment,  I did find it quite difficult to keep my patience with Willow who steadfastly pushes to the back of her mind any doubts she may have about him.
 
    You also see the story from more than one perspective. There are quite a few amusing characters in the mix and there is a mystery around the identity of one, Kev, which was a surprise to me when the truth was revealed. This is an entertaining read with some larger than life situations and a very small soupcon of romance.
 
In short:  Charlie and Willow... Love's young's dream? Hardly!
