    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.

Life After You by Sian O'Gorman #Review

Life After You was published by Boldwood Books on 15th September and I am delighted to be featuring it on the blog today.


Meaningful and moving, a beautiful story with life-affirming qualities.

Milly Bryne’s world came crashing down when she lost her beloved Dad and boyfriend in a matter of weeks.

Losing her Dad has broken her family. Losing her soul mate made has made her give up on life and love.

After swerving from stability to chaos to despair, Milly finally believes she has her life back on track when the unexpected return of a familiar face to Ireland throws her life once more into a spin. Milly is forced to decide if her new life is the one for her, or if there is another path that will bring even greater riches of joy, excitement and fun into her world. Life just isn’t worth living if your heart isn’t in it?

Perfect for the fans of Cecilia Ahern and Cathy Kelly

My Thoughts
 
Despite the fact that grief and loss dominate this book, it is nevertheless an uplifting story which focuses on family and friendships. Moving on and looking forwards are important themes and you see though the actions of Milly, her sister, mother and colleagues that they have to adapt to changing circumstances whilst never forgetting the past.
 
    There were some amusing parts to the story, particularly Milly's boss and her reaction to becoming a parent. Milly learns a lot about herself as the story progresses. She discovers her vocation and also realises how important her family is to her. It is a warm and uplifting story which introduces a wide range of likeable characters and which takes you with it, right to the end. 
 
In short: Second chances
