The Queen of Bushy House by Molly Gartland #Review

  One house. Two women. Both determined to endure. July 1818. Dorothea Jordan – celebrated actress and long-time companion of the Duke of Clarence has returned. Not in flesh, but in spirit. For fifteen years Bushy House was her sanctuary, filled with  laughter and her ten children – the FitzClarences. Now she watches as her portraits are taken down  and her daughters sent away, in preparation for the duke’s new bride. Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen arrives in England with duty pressing upon her shoulders. At twenty-five, she has accepted a proposal no other princess would take. She must tame the duke’s debts, win over his unruly children and – above all – produce an heir to secure the British throne. But Adelaide soon senses a presence in Bushy House. As she struggles to find her place in a household shaped by another woman’s love, the restless spirit of Mrs Jordan lingers – watchful, wounded and unwilling to be forgotten. Inspired by the tru...

Lemon Drop Cottage by K T Dady #Review #{e[[erBaySeriesBook4

 


Lemon Drop Farm is the latest in the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady. I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate its publication, today.  You can read my reviews of others in the series here,  Starlight Cottage |   Honeybee Cottage |  Pepper Pot Farm.

 
Welcome to Pepper Bay. A small close-knit community where you’ll find chocolate box cottages, quaint shops, love, drama, and a happily ever after.

Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Phillipa Ashley, and Holly Martin.

The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories that intertwine with recurring characters. Best read in order for maximum enjoyment.

Lemon Drop Cottage: At first glance, Scott Harper is a shy artist who keeps himself to himself, but he isn’t the man everyone thinks he is. Scott has a secret. One that has kept him firmly away from any chance of having an intimate relationship. The only woman in his life is the one he talks to online but has never met. It’s easier that way, for them both.

Dolly Lynch has just taken over her aunt’s shop in Pepper Bay. Between looking after her teenage son, running around for her old aunt, moving home, and opening a new shop, she barely has time to herself, so she really appreciates the moments she spends talking online with a man she’s never met. Little does she know he’s the same man who lives just up the road in the cutest cottage she has ever seen.


 My Thoughts

The community in Pepper Pot Bay continues to grow apace and I loved the latest in this series which revolved around Scott and Dolly. They definitely weren't run of the mill characters and I was most attracted by the great sense of humour which I felt ran throughout the story. Both Scott and Dolly have a past. Dolly is trying to build a new life for herself and her son as a single parent. Scott's past is more surprising and can't be divulged! Pepper Pot Bay offers a refuge and a healing community, full of friendship and families.

    Dolly's son, Dexter, is sure to make you laugh. He is a reflection of how she has brought him off and a kind and caring boy. Being kind and generous towards others runs through the story and there is a definite respect between the generations as the retirement home comes under threat. Although you can read this as a standalone, don't miss out on the three previous books. They will fill in all sorts of gaps about the characters you meet and add to your enjoyment of a lovely series.

 

In short: Secret identities and new starts
