Celebrating the 25 novels by Sue Moorcroft: Starting Over #Middledip #Giveaway

 Today I am thrilled to be on the first day of an amazing tour to celebrate Sue Moorcroft's fabulous fiction. A Skye Full of Stars, her latest novel, is her 25th published book ! Over the next few weeks, you are going to be treated to a reminder of all those great novels and it is my honour to start the ball rolling with the first in the Middledip series : Starting Over .                    Tess Riddell has just been dumped. By her fiancé. Via email. Her life has been torn apart and she’s left to pick up the pieces. Alone. It’s time for a new start where nobody knows her. And Tess can’t imagine anywhere better than Honeybun Cottage in the peaceful village of Middledip. But life has other plans. She crashes — quite literally — into a handsome stranger down a winding country lane. Tess and Miles definitely don’t hit it off, though. He’s a fun-loving charmer, and Tess needs some stability right now. So no one is as shocked as she is when an unlikely friendship blossoms b

Christmas at the Little Waffle Shack by Helen J Rolfe #Review

We are back in Heritage Cove for a festive romance by Helen J Rolfe : Christmas at the Little Waffle Shack. You can read my review of its predecessor, Coming Home to Herotage Cove here. 

Heritage Cove is in full swing for the festive season and as the temperature dips, who will be lucky in love this Christmas?

It's December in Heritage Cove and along with the village Christmas tree, frosty mornings and the promise of the most wonderful time of the year, the new waffle shack is about to open. And its owner isn't a stranger to the Cove, because after all this time, Daniel is back to make amends with his brother Harvey – as well as a few other locals he might have offended along the way.

Fairly new to the village, local blacksmith Lucy has kept up the pretence of being with her ex for the sake of his gran but she’s fed up with all the lies. Determined to come clean and live the life she wants to live, she’s devastated to find that her attraction to Daniel is tainted by the fact he’s hiding a few things of his own. And his secrets are ones she isn’t sure she’ll ever be able to get past.

Heritage Cove is full of friendship and community; it’s a welcoming place people visit and never want to leave. But will it work its magic for Daniel and Lucy?

A festive read packed with Christmas romance, love and second chances, this is Book 2 in a series of standalone novels set in Heritage Cove, the little village by the sea…

My Thoughts

This is the second in a series of books set in Heritahe Cove. It can certainly be read as a standalone but it would be very rewarding to read the first in the series as it gives so much background on the characters. Lucy is a newcomer to the village and I found her to be a refreshing character with a kind heart and lots of determination. I felt invested in her story and that of Daniel.

    This is an ideal festive read. It drips with all the Christmassy touches- delicious food, twinkling lights, Christmas trees... Friends and family are important as well. It is important to give people a chance and not presume anything as first impressions can be deceptive. This is a story about starting over and grasping a second chance- even Lucy's cat is a rescue animal! It is a warm, comforting read, full of community spirit.

In short: A festive romance.
