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...

Primrose Park by Christie Barlow #Review

 

It is always a lovely day when we visit Love Heart Lane for another in the series and today we are headed to Primrose Park. It can be read as a standalone. You can read my review of more in the series here: Love Heart Lane, Foxglove Farm, Clover Cottage , The Lake House.

Vet Molly has always been career driven and focussed on caring for her animals, but when she meets a gorgeous Mystery Man at a conference and their connection is off the charts, well, one night off work won’t hurt anyone...except the next morning he’s vanished and all Molly knows about him is his first name.Three months later, back in Love Heart Lane, everyone loves the storyof Molly's amazing one-night stand.It's so unlike her! But when Mystery Man turns up walking his dog through Primrose Park and their night together seems to mean nothing to him, Molly needs her friends and neighbours more than ever. And especially when she’s left with the most unexpected of surprises...

My Thoughts

Visits to  Heartcross always deliver us up a great story and Primrose Park is no exception. Family and friendship are at the centre once more and as well as catching up with familiar characters, there are new ones centre stage. Molly and Cam have great chemistry from the beginning so it was no surprise when their paths crossed again. 

    Molly fits in beautifully alongside the others we have come to know. She is independent and determined to succeed but also kindhearted. Being a vet, she is able to stand on her own two feet and you find out that although she is alone, family does mean a lot to her. Cam seems a little harder to read at first. The feisty character of his grandmother, Dixie adds humour as of course does her four-legged friend, Darling. The setting is as gorgeous and welcoming as ever. With some great characters and bags of heart, this is another lovely read. 

In short: romance blooms in Primrose Park
