Christmas at Hollybush Farm by Jo Thomas #Review

    Welcome to another festive read by Jo Thomas. Christmas at Hollybush Farm was published by Penguin on October 9th.   Jemima Jones is driving home to her family's magical hill-top farm for Christmas…  And on arrival, she soon learns that her dad has been keeping a secret – all is not as it seems, and Hollybush Farm is struggling to make ends meet! Worried about losing the childhood home she loves, Jemima must pull on her winter wellies and get stuck in. Amid the chaos of chasing after escaping sheep and organising the Christmas tractor run, Jemima begins documenting her slice of farming life on social media. As she builds a supportive online following, she also forms an offline connection in the shape of charming, retired rugby player Llew, her very own Santa's helper.  With a sprinkle of festive cheer and a dash of goodwill, might the community pull together to help save the farm in time for Christmas? My Thoughts Jemima returns home to find that her w...

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 CottagePepper 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
