Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen

  This is a new to me author but I am delighted to feature on the celebrations for the latest novel by Christy McKellen , Best Mistake Ever . It was published by Boldwood on 16th January. Some mistakes are worth making Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought.

Life's a Beach by Portia Macintosh #Review

 

Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, Life's a Beach was published by Boldwood Books on 6th May. It is certainly an escapist read.


Sun, sea and inescapable exes...

Peach is excited to hear that her sister, Di, is getting married. Of course, she would have preferred her little sister to be engaged to someone she's known longer than a week - and the fact that his name is Charles doesn't bode well - but who is she to judge?! Afterall, her own love life is non-existent, and who doesn't love a destination wedding...?

Whisked away to the gorgeous Italian coast, Peach assumes her role as chief bridesmaid and, despite her reservations about the groom, she tries to ensure everything goes to plan.

But weddings are never straightforward affairs... throw in some unexpected guests in the form of ex-boyfriends and one night stands, and soon enough there is more drama than a reality tv show.

Can Peach keep the show on the road, or might she end up in a whirlwind romance of her own...?

Escape to the stunning Italian coast with bestseller Portia MacIntosh. Perfect for fans of Sophie Ranald and Mhairi MacFarlane.


My Thoughts

 I really loved this romcom. Its slightly whimsical tone made me smile throughout and the setting made it a truly escapist read. Family is an important part of the story. I must say that Peach's parents did make me smile, especially their reaction to their empty nest after Peach and her sister left home. As each new character arrives at the Italian villa where Peach's sister Di was staying before her wedding to Charles (!), relationships become more and more complicated. It is certainly fun trying to work out just what is going on with them all.

    There are some hilarious episodes in this story which truly deserves the term, romcom. As soon as Vanessa arrives, you know they are going to multiply but there is also more to people than it appears at first sight. This is a great escapist summer read. From the moment that Peach met Matt, I was hooked -but was he?

In short: Sun, sea and romance
