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!

A Wish for Jinnie by Audrey Davis #Review


 A Wish for Jinnie was published on 22nd June by Tanzanite Books. It is not your usual romcom!
 
What if wishes really could come true?
When Jinnie Cooper is dumped by her fiancé, and exiled to a job in an antiques shop in a sleepy Scottish village, little does she know a battered old lamp is about to shake up her life. 

Genie Dhassim grants wishes. But he also wants a few of his own to come true. Letting him explore the outside world proves nerve-wracking as Dhassim has an uncanny knack of putting his pointy-slippered foot in it.
As Jinnie grows closer to her employer Sam, Dhassim discovers his time on earth is running out. 

Can both Jinnie and Dhassim find true happiness? Or are those wishes that cannot be granted?


My Thoughts

Once I had realised that there is more than a touch of magical realism in this romcom and that in essence, it is like a fairy tale, I was able to suspend belief and go with the flow! Jinnie is a lovely central character. She is full of life and you feel for her as she tries to rebuild her life. She always has your sympathy. However, there is more to this book than her story and you soon meet up with some interesting characters, all with their own story to tell.

    Set in a friendly little village outside Edinburgh, you see Jinnie settle in to the daily life. Not everyone has a chocolate box life and there are some sad moments, especially around Ken's homelife. Of course, Jinnie's gran is probably the most amusing. If you are looking for a read which will entertain and be full of fun, look no further.

In short: Be careful what you wish for...
