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 setting is idyllic and so different to life at home. Everything shimmers and shines in the snow and the temperatures are extreme. Maddy should be having the time of her life but she finds that she has a lot on her mind and a heartbreaking decision to make.     With the men le...

Flying Duo by Zoe May #Review #PublicationDay

 

It is fabulous to be taking part in the first day of the blog tour for Zoe May's latest romcom, Flying Duo, especially as it is Publication Day. You can read about the first part in the story here Flying Solo


Can true love go the distance?

London lawyer Rachel Watson has wound up in an Indian ashram with hippy heartthrob lover, Seb.

A high-achiever, Rachel has always lived life according to her Life List, ticking off goals along the way. But now that she's in India, Rachel is going with the flow, or at least trying to...

Rachel's visa is running out and it's time to decide whether her relationship with Seb is a holiday romance or built to last.

The pair embark on a trip to Nepal for an Everest base camp trek, but will their relationship survive this gruelling expedition or is it time to part ways?

Flying Duo is the second romantic comedy in the 'Flying' series, following on from bestseller, Flying Solo, which was described by the Daily Express newspaper as 'a must read that will appeal to fans of Sophie Kinsella, Beth O'Leary and Mhari McFarlane' ★★★★★

My Thoughts

Having been introduced to Rachel in Flying Solo, it is interesting to see what happens to her next. Her relationship with Seb seems to be rock solid and she sets off on a new adventure, to travel to Nepal, to Everest's base camp. However, despite the fact that she is blissfully happy with Seb, she is, nevertheless, unsure of what the future has in store for them in the long term. You see again some of her vulnerabilities.

    Added to the story this time around are some new characters who she meets along the way. Wary at first, she is unsure of anything which will get in the way of her working out how she sees her relationship with Seb developing. You also get to see Seb's relationship with his over-achieving father and to see some of his insecurities as well. Seb has to work out what he wants his future to look like which may not be to the liking of his Dad. 

    This is an entertaining read with some humorous episodes. Most entertaining of all is seeing how far out of her comfort zone Rachel has to go in this beautiful country which is teeming with unseen dangers!

In short: Nepal opens up a world of possibilities.

About the Author

 


Zoe May is an author of romantic comedies. Zoe has dreamt of being a novelist since she was a teenager. She worked in journalism and copywriting in London before writing her debut novel, Perfect Match. Having experienced the London dating scene first hand, Zoe couldn't resist writing a novel about dating since it seems to supply endless amounts of weird and wonderful material!

Perfect Match was one of Apple's top-selling books of 2018. It was also shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Joan Hessayon Award, with judges describing it as 'a laugh out loud look at love and self-discovery - fresh and very funny'.

As well as writing, Zoe enjoys walking her dog, painting and, of course, reading! She adores animals and if she's not taking a photo of a vegan meal, she's probably tweeting about the dairy industry. She is half Greek and half Irish and can make a mean baklava. Zoe has a thing for horror films, India, swimming, hip hop and Radiohead. She has an encyclopaedic knowledge of handbags having spent several years working in fashion copywriting and could probably win Mastermind if this was her specialist subject!
