His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert #Review

    His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert will take you to a different country and season. It was published by Le Vin Press on 1st November 2025. Widowed, fired, and 50, Claire is one hot mess. This later in life romance hits like a snowball packed with grief and hope and mystery and the kind of second-chance that says, “I didn’t think I’d ever feel this again, and now I’m terrified, but… Hi.” Romance that’s frost melting off a windowpane. It’s “I forgot my heart could do this.” It’s love doesn’t have an expiration date. Twinkly lights, mulled wine and flaming crêpes so immerse you in Christmas markets—you’ll book a flight to France before the fares go up. A book club fiction favourite, Claire’s journey of self-discovery is perfect for fans of women’s fiction and stories about strong women over 50 navigating reinvention with inspiration, humour, with a delicious frosting of romance. “Give yourself the gift of a lush, romantic, French adventure and be swept away ...

Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen #Review

 

Today we have a super romcom, Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen.

Don’t miss the new laugh-out-loud rom com from the author of One Week ’Til Christmas!

Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Rosie Walsh and Josie Silver.

In the space of a week, Katharine Patterson has quit her job, decided to move back home, and broken up with the guy she thought was the one.

No big deal.

Because Katharine has a plan. She’s going to open her own art gallery, just like she’s always wanted. What she’s not going to do is worry about boyfriends.

Then she meets Kit, a handsome and talented local artist. He might be the most stubborn person Katharine has ever met. He might also make her feel like no one ever has before.

And Katharine might be about to fall accidentally in love…


My Thoughts

I thoroughly enjoyed this story which features such two likeable yet complicated characters. You meet Katharine at a crossroads in her life. I found the story of moving back to Sheffield quite refreshing. Katharine found the northern town to be a much freer place with more opportunities. The banter between Katharine and Kit is amusing and gives the writing character. 

    Katharine does not go looking for love when she meets Kit. It is an accidental love story but you come to see that they are both sides of the same coin. Friendship comes under the microscope. There are some humorous parts of the story but also some genuinely touching scenes such as the relationship between Katharine and her brother. This is an enjoyable read which shows you character progression and family moments.

In short: Love and laughs
