The Castle in the Bay by Margaret Amatt #Review #BarraSeriesBook1

  We are travelling to the beautiful island of Barra for Margaret Amatt's new Barra Series, The Castle in the Bay. The first in this new series was published on 12th April by Leannan Press .   What if the castle has the key to mend their broken hearts? After a miserable few years, fun-loving Iona McKenzie tossed her corporate job to the wind, swore off long-term relationships, and escaped to the Hebridean island of Barra to teach water sports. Recently dumped by an ex who labelled him 'boring', Monty MacNeil is having a tough time. When he's tasked with carrying out his late father’s last request to scatter his ashes at Kisimul Castle – the famous castle in the bay – he doesn't expect his trip to Barra to begin by running smack bang into a feisty and gorgeous woman, knocking her off her bike, and almost dropping his father’s urn into the sea. Iona turns out to be the person he needs to take him over to the castle, but Monty soon sees another way she ca...

The Ticklemore Tavern by Liz Davies #Review #Publication Day

 

Having enjoyed the previous books in Liz Davies' Ticklemore series, I am delighted to be taking part in the celebrations for the latest in the series, The Ticklemore Tavern. 


Violet makes her own gin.

Logan Cassidy sells it in his pub, The Ticklemore Tavern.

It should have been a match made in heaven, especially since the pair of them fancy the socks off each other, and they are both young, free and single.

Except...

Logan’s mum, Marie, doesn’t think Violet is good enough for her son. No woman is, or ever will be. And when she becomes ill, Logan is torn between looking after his mum or following his heart.

However, neither Logan, nor Marie, has taken the sheer force of nature that is Violet into account. What Violet wants, Violet gets.

Usually...

But maybe not this time, eh?

My Thoughts

It is the Ticklemore community who seem to steal the show in this series and no one more so than Hattie who always raises a smile and seems to know a great deal about whatever is going on. This is Violet and Logan's story however and both characters are drawn clearly and with affection. Hattie is creative and impulsive and, in many ways, she seems to wear her heart on her sleeve. You are never in any doubt about what she feels about Logan. In this story, the tension comes from third parties and the interference of others.

    Logan is also extremely likeable. Both Logan and Violet are ambitious for their own careers and keen to further their businesses but also have a rock- solid sense of the importance of family. This is a gentle romance, told with humour and warmth which is a perfect uplifting read and a great addition to the Ticklemore series.

In short: Can love find a way? 

About the Author


Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love.

She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat - she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days.

She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it.
