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. Not only does he have impossibly high standards, he’s also out of this world gorgeous, an ex-rockstar with a chip on his shoulder and he's watching her like a hawk!

Chocolate Cake for Breakfast by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondSeriesno20

 

Welcome to Book 20 in the marvellous Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas, with Chocolate Cake for Breakfast, by Rosie Green!

 
After a shocking accident, Martha Munro has given up on her childhood dreams. With her confidence shattered, even leaving the house is scary, and a promising romance with gorgeous Logan is over before it even has a chance to begin. But cheered on by her dad and her great friend, Madison, she makes a decision that could change everything. Can Martha find the courage to step out into the world and love again?


 My Thoughts

With an ever- increasing cast of characters, the Little Duck Pond series is as welcoming as ever. This time, we get to read Martha's story who is linked to the earlier characters through Madison. A bit of a romantic and aspiring writer, Martha seems to be on the brink of success when a terrible accident brings her some dreadful circumstances. Having lost her confidence, you see her trying to regain her belief in herself and to re-build her life. 

    The Swan Hotel in Sunnybrook is the setting for much of the story and Martha meets some lively characters there. In addition, we catch up with Primrose and Sam who have had a beautiful baby boy. Martha finds that Primrose's difficulties resonate with how her mother was when she was a baby and once again, friendships are very important in this close-knit community. 

In short: friendships flourish in this gentle romance
