Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage by Della Galton #DuckPondCottageBook2 #Review #PublicationDay

  I am loving returning to the Duck Pond Cottage series by Della Galton . Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage is published today by Boldwood Books on February 22nd.   Can love conquer all? Jade and Finn are idyllically happy in their little corner of rural Wiltshire. A rescue centre jampacked with animals keeps them super busy. With Finn’s art going from strength to strength, Jade can’t believe they’re living the dream until an arrogant property developer with questionable motives jeopardises their perfect lives and the future plans of the rescue centre. Jade and Finn both have trust issues and they’ve promised there’ll be no more secrets. But keeping promises is harder than either of them imagined, especially where Finn’s past is concerned.

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
