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...

Rainbows End in Ferry Lane Market by Nicola May #Review #PublicationDay #Giveaway

 

I am delighted to feature, Rainbows End in Ferry Lane Market. Book Three in bestselling sensation Nicola May's gorgeous new series - catch up with Book One, WELCOME TO FERRY LANE MARKET, and Book Two, STARRY SKIES IN FERRY LANE MARKET, now!

39-year-old Glanna Pascoe - also known as 'the Rainbow Painter' - runs the Hartmouth Gallery in Ferry Lane Market in Cornwall. She is just getting her head and broken heart around being single, childless, and sober when Cupid flies in, shooting arrows all over the place.

Meeting the mysterious and fascinating Isaac Benson, famous local artist, and recluse, allows Glanna's disillusioned heart and attitude to soften, and she begins to learn more about herself than she ever thought possible. Confused by her growing feelings for Isaac, Glanna throws herself into organising a life-drawing class at her gallery, using both male and female nudes - and setting local tongues wagging.

A theft from her gallery and the return of ex-love Oliver Trueman cause Glanna to wonder if a pot of gold will be appearing at the end of her rainbow. And will it bring her the happiness, she has sought for so long? 

Praise for the book

'This book will twang your funny bone & your heartstrings' - Milly Johnson

'A fun and flighty read' - Sun

'A funny and fast-paced romp - thoroughly enjoyable!' WOMAN Magazine

'One of those books that I can't stop thinking about way after I've read it! - Kim The Bookworm

 My Thoughts

We are back with the Ferry Lane market characters and very enjoyable it is too. The focus of this third in the series is an art gallery owner, Glanna, who has a complicated past and family dynamic. She has never really come to terms with past relationships and you definitely get the feeling that there is unfinished business with Oliver. As she nears her fortieth birthday, she is reminded of decisions she made in the past concerning motherhood and certainly, her relationship with her parents is complicated to say the least.

    This is a really enjoyable read, full of the sights and sounds of the coastline and the sea is never far away. There are some darker themes lurking below the surface, around addiction and depression, but overall the tone is upbeat and affectionate. Certainly, the reclusive Isaac Benson adds another dimension to the story. The art classes which Glanna organises are a great source of humour and one or two of the characters make you chuckle. This is a delightful series, with I hope, more to come.

In short: Past secrets and new beginnings
