Falling in love at Pennycress Inn by Sarah Hope #Review #ThePennycressInnSeriesBook2

I am thrilled to feature Book 2 in  The Pennycress Inn Series  by Sarah Hope . Falling in love at Pennycress Inn was published by Boldwood Books on June 15th. You can read my review of  Welcome to Pennycress Inn   here .  Is this just a summer romance or could it be more? Nicola grew up at Pennycress Inn, in the beautiful Cotswold village of Meadowfield, and now she’s come full circle by landing a job there. After a difficult few months, she’s happy to be back in the place she loves and calls home. The whole village is looking forward to the annual summer carnival, and Nicola is charged with asking the local farmers to lend their tractors and trailers for the occasion. It’s an easy task – until she meets the new owner of Little Mead Farm, who stubbornly refuses to help. On sabbatical from his City job for the summer, Charlie wants to do up his late uncle’s farm and put it on the market as soon as possible. The place might have been in his family for genera...

Snow Falls Over Sunnybrook by Rosie Green #Review #Novella #LittleDuckPondSeries

 


Welcome to Book 18 in the marvellous Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas, with Snow Falls over Sunnybrook, by Rosie Green. !

 The chance to spend a night ghost-hunting alone with Hudson Holmes at Brambleberry Manor seems like a dream come true for Ruby Watkiss. Maybe, she thinks, this is their chance to get closer? But when mysterious goings-on start happening which have nothing to do with the spirit world, the pair are catapulted off on another sleuthing adventure. And as the snow starts to fall and emotions are rising at the Little Duck Pond Cafe, Ruby is faced with a double challenge. Can she be braver than she's ever been, in order to rescue something very close to her heart? And can she convince Hudson that Christmas really can be the most wonderful time of the year?

 

My Thoughts

As ever, I enjoyed a return trip to Sunnybrook and was keen to discover how Ruby and Hudson's story was going to pan out. These two amateur sleuths have had their own little cosy crime trilogy within the series which has expended the scope of the stories and added some energy to the storylines. I like how their investigations have been interwoven into the lives of the characters we know so well.

    This is a warm and inviting series. It takes you from Hallowe'en through to Christmas so is perfect winter reading. Whether Ruby and Hudson ever move past best friends I will leave for you to discover. Just be aware that the story is full of friendship, romance and the odd surprise.  

In short: a warm, comforting read
