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!

The Greatest of Enemies by B R Maycock #AbbeyglenBook2 #Review

 

The Greatest of Enemies is the second in B R Maycock's  Abbeyglen series, although it can be read as a standalone.

Get ready for fireworks as two women with very different personalities become housemates!

Bex has settled in well into the small town of Abbeyglen. Yes, she misses her housemate Holly, but she has plenty to do what with the setup of the new Caulfield’s café, her blogging and of course her work in Blackwater Financial Services.

Louise is shocked when she arrives in the town of Abbeyglen to find it has changed, everything looks too new and shiny, and who is this person in Holly’s apartment?!

With Bex’s bff heading for domestic bliss, some unwelcome changes in work, and now the arrival of eternally negative Louise, can Bex remain her usual chirpy self or will handbags at dawn, daytime and night-time too bring out a side to her she never knew existed?

For fans of Sophie Kinsella, Christie Barlow and Rosie Green.

(This is book 2 of a series but can be read on it's own if you are so inclined!)

 

My Thoughts

 This is full of humour as two such different girls try to exist alongside each other. One full of the joys of Spring, the other with a cynical hat on- or so it seems. Louise appears from the blue and settles herself into Bex's flat with a determination which has to amuse- everyone except Bex of course and Mrs Tait. You soon realise that Louise brings with her a lot of baggage and begin to understand a lot of her attitude. I'm not sure I ever really worked out the dynamics with her Mum. You do get to see more than one side of her. 

    Bex is a whirlwind of positive thinking and projects on the go. Her willingness to sort things out does tend to backfire on her and sometimes, I did wish that she would speak up for herself a bit more. This romcom has plenty of aspects which will make you smile. My favourite part was the two girls' rivalry for the dog's favour. Bex's conversations with the men she meets are witty and give you hope that things will work out for her. This is a humorous look at family and friendship and adapting to change along the way.  

In short: Friends, family, fun.

About the Author

When B R Maycock (Berni to all you lovely people!) isn’t dreaming up vibrant leads for romantic comedies, she’s ingesting books for her blog (https://brmaycock.wordpress.com/), in particular chick lit (her first love!) books, romantic comedies and thrillers. She can also be found playing footie or watching Marvel, DC or Star Wars movies and cartoons in Co. Westmeath, Ireland with her brilliantly out there husband, Keith, and their four epic little men.

Her debut ‘It Started With A Snub’ and Christmas romantic comedy ‘Snowday’ are available now on Amazon, as is Pushing Her Luck, the first of a series about AbbeyGlen Village, whose luck is about to change …

She has one goal and that’s simply to make readers smile and/ or laugh (a splutter rates highest;)).
