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...

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.
