Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen

  This is a new to me author but I am delighted to feature on the celebrations for the latest novel by Christy McKellen , Best Mistake Ever . It was published by Boldwood on 16th January. Some mistakes are worth making Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought.

The Farmhouse of Second Chances by Helen Rolfe #Review

 


I am delighted to return to Helen Rolfe for her latest contemporary romance, The Farmhouse of Second Chances  which was published on February 17th by Orion. You can read my reviews of some of her other books here: Christmas Miracles at the Little Log Cabin  |  Christmas at the Little Knitting Box  |  The Little Village Library

 Home is where the heart is…

Joy has made a family for herself. She's turned her beautiful old farmhouse into a safe haven for anyone who is looking for a new beginning. She's always ready with a kind word, a nugget of advice and believes that anyone can change their life for the better, if they really want to.

Libby has exchanged her high-flying job in New York for a break in the quiet Somerset countryside. She's soon drawn into Joy's world and into her family of waifs and strays - including Drew, whom Joy once helped get back on his feet, and now helps out around the house.

So when a secret from Joy's past threatens everything, can the unlikely group come together to give Joy a second chance of her own?

Perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley and Ali McNamara!


 My Thoughts

This is one of those books which I did not want to put down. It is a really lovely uplifting story with a gorgeous setting and an interesting cast of characters who all have their own back story and reason for being gathered there. All about giving those in need a helping hand and a fresh start, Joy keeps on the traditions started by her foster parents when she was in that position. Of course, she has quite a secret to keep to herself about her background which I did not guess. As you discover, one or two other characters have secrets of their own.

    Libby, Joy's niece, comes across as a likeable young woman who is nevertheless, feeling anxious and stressed about her life. She has many of Joy's qualities and has to learn to trust people again. She also does not take the easy route. If you are looking for a warm uplifting tale you can do no better. I would love to know what happens next to this family of friends. 

In short: second chances, love and friendship
