Maddy's Christmas Wedding by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafeBook37#review

  Here we are at Book 37 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Maddie's Christmas Wedding is the latest novella by Rosie Green.   With the wedding of the year approaching, excitement is running high at the café! But there's just one problem. Maddy is grappling with a secret. Could it derail all of hers and Jack's glorious plans for their big day? Will there actually be a wedding?   My Thoughts In this latest festive story, we are taken out of Sunnybrook, in fact, out of the country and taken for a wintry stay in Lapland. It is Maddy's hen party gathering so some of the Little Duck Pond characters are along too. The story continues on from the earlier Cosy Nights and Snowball Fights .

The Spark by Jules Wake #Review

 

Today I have a great romcom for you- The Spark by Jules Wake.

 
Jess is falling for Sam.

Sam is falling for Jess.

But it seems life will do whatever it takes to make them fall apart.

When Jess and Sam lock eyes at a party, a spark ignites. The spark. But love at first sight isn’t like the movies, especially when Sam’s ex, Victoria, is determined to make their honeymoon period a living hell.

Is love at first sight enough?


 My Thoughts

What an enjoyable read this was! It was one of those romcoms which you fly through, rooting for the central characters and wholly believing in central premise of love at first sight. The whole range of characters were vividly drawn and such a great contrast. Jess emerges as a feisty character who has her own vulnerabilities and a kind heart. Her social conscience is the product in part of her own childhood and you can altogether believe in her. As the story develops, so does Jess and she learns that not everything in her past was as she has always believed. She isn't afraid to own up to that and live for the moment.

    Despite the situation which Sam and Jess find themselves in, I found that there was lots of fun and wit in the story. Victoria, Sam's ex-girlfriend, was a nightmare and I enjoyed following the twists and turns as she tried her best to win him back. Despite this, the overall feeling is one of forgiveness and moving on. There are some gentle moments to offset the anguish as family and friendships come under the microscope.

In short: A heart-warming romcom full of wit and character.
