    The Disgraced Knight's Redemption, the third in Ella Matthews' series, The Knight's Missions, was published by Harlequin Historicals on October 23rd.    A disgraced warrior… Torn between duty and desire! Sir Tristan must win back his honor. His orders from King Edward are simple: seek out the leader of Pwll Du Castle—the unmarried Lady Catrin—and demand she leaves. As Tristan is renowned for his lethal charm and handsome looks, how can she resist? But when the beautiful Welshwoman comes under siege from her covetous neighbor, Tristan finds himself fighting for her! Yet, is it a losing battle?

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...
