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...

Finding Love on Sunshine Island by Georgina Troy #Review#

 

I am so happy to introduce the first in a new series by Georgina Troy, Finding Love on Sunshine Island. It will be published on June 1st and you can pre-order it here.

Welcome to the Sunshine Island - where the beaches are golden, the lifestyle is perfect and anything is possible.

Piper Le Brocq is happily single after the disastrous ending of her engagement eighteen months before. The only man in her life is Jax, her best friend and cousin, who spends his life teaching locals how to forage and taking tourists on boat trips around the island. Her days are filled with helping out at her mother's guest house and selling her glass mosaics at The Cabbage Patch emporium in Trinity.

Piper loves living on the Sunshine Island, where the neighbours look out for each other and visitors are welcome. So, when handsome guest Alex Cooper arrives at the guest house to check up on his grandfather, she welcomes him to the sunny island. And when he needs help after his grandfather is injured, she's quick to get involved.

Yet, the more she gets to know Alex the more mysterious he seems, and Alex isn't the only one keeping secrets from her.

My Thoughts

This is the first in a promising series which is set in Jersey and you get a real feel for the holiday island with the coast and surrounding countryside. Piper has, it seems, been burying herself in her life at her mother's Bed and Breakfast and at the same time, building up her own creative business in a local craft centre. You sense from the start that she may be ready to move on from her broken relationship but you can also see her kind nature and fondness for her family. 

     When Piper meets Alex, there is a certain spark but you also sense that he has a history which is holding him back. Family is an important part of the story and her friendship with Jax is a part of her life which keeps her centred. This is an entertaining read, just right for a summer holiday, with some likeable characters and a beautiful setting.

In short: holiday romance or happy ever after?
