Snowflakes over Middlewick Bay by Eliza JScott #Review #MiddlewickBayBook8

I am delighted to feature the eighth in Eliza J Scott's Micklewick Bay series, Snowflakes Over Middlewick Bay , which was published by Storm Publishing on October 2nd. A wintry treat brimming with snowflakes, secrets and second chances!   When her beloved Aunt Colleen passes away, settling her affairs means doing the one thing Hannah Merryweather has spent years avoiding: returning to Micklewick Bay, the seaside town she fled years ago and has never quite found the courage to face again.   Coming home means facing the past too. Polly, her stepmother, and Darryl, her stepbrother, still loom large over the life she once knew, and the home she lost is never far from her thoughts.   Then, on her very first day back, she nearly collides with the one man she never expected to see again: Lachie, the kilted, green-eyed Scotsman who stole her heart last spring.

Summer at the Chateau by Jennifer Bohnet #Review

 

Boldwood Books published Jennifer Bohnet's latest romance, Summer at the Chateau,  on May 13th. I am so pleased to be on the tour. 

 

Every end has a new beginning...

When Pixie Sampson's husband tragically dies, she inherits the beautiful Château Quiltu in Brittany, Northern France.

But unbeknown to her, she also inherits a mysterious lodger, Justine Martin and her 4-year-old son Ferdie.

Heartbroken and with her adventurous Mum, Gwen in tow, they travel to France to put the Château on the market but are soon drawn into a quest to seek the Château's secrets.

Who is Justine? Why is she living at the Château? How did she know her husband?

Over the Summer months, the Château fills with family and laughter and secrets are discovered and old wounds begin to heal.


 My Thoughts

Secrets from the past start to unravel almost from the start but the true picture does not come clear for quite some time. The story is full of the sights and sounds of France and I must say the chateau and its setting sound absolutely idyllic. Who wouldn't want to spend a family holiday there? Pixie is such a likeable character. More intriguing is her late husband who seems to have been keeping things from her. The most important of which seems to be a mysterious lodger and her son. However, there is more to this situation than you might guess.

    I liked the whole mix of Pixie's extended family who spend the Summer with her. It seems her mother has a few secrets of her own. Pixie has the whole Summer to decide what she is going to do and whether to start over and take a few risks. This is a gentle story with warmth and variety. Just the thing to escape into, should you feel the need.  

In short: Bring the French countryside into your home with a relaxing read.
