Coming Home to Roseford Villas by Fay Keenan #Review

  Today we return to the series by Fay Keenan set in the Somerset village of Roseford. Coming Home to Roseford Villas was published by Boldwood Books on 12th April.   Aurora Henderson and Leo McKendrick were love’s young dream when they first dated as teenagers. But like many a first love, parents, life, and distance got in the way, and the couple lost touch. Now, twenty years later, Aurora – Rory to her friends – needs a break. Burnt out from her teaching career and longing to write a novel, Rory heads to the idyllic village of Roseford for a summer of writing and relaxation. Leo needs a change too. Ex-pat life in Australia has come to a sticky end so the opportunity to run his family’s B&B, Roseford Villas, for the summer is too good to turn down. Neither Rory nor Leo believe in fate, but when Leo opens the door to his latest guest, he might just have to reconsider. And when a sultry summer fills with nostalgia and memories and six weeks flies by too fast, love’s young

The Meet Cute Method by Portia Macintosh #Review

 


I am delighted to be on the tour for Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, The Meet Cute Method. It was published by Boldwood Books on 4th May.

 Do movie romances ever happen in real life...?

Frankie doesn't believe in true love. As relationships expert at popular magazine Stylife, she has learnt that dating disasters are far more common than happy ever afters.

So when she is tasked to find out if meet cutes can work in real life she is up for the challenge - but whether it's being a damsel in distress with a flat tyre, or spilling coffee over a stranger, she isn't convinced this can really lead to love.

But little does Frankie know that the ultimate meet cute opportunity is just around the corner. As she is whisked off her feet (all in the name of her work project of course...) perhaps true love isn't just for the movies after all...?


 My Thoughts

This is a fun read with some light-hearted moments and amusing characters. Tasked to write articles about he attempts at meeting Mr Right, Frankie uses any opportunity to try out some possible meet cute opportunities. You escape with Frankie to Hawaii as part of her writing assignment and meets up with some interesting characters. Frankie likes to embrace her quirky side and knows how she feels comfortable to dress. At times, she has to suppress it and she realises that this is not the way to happiness.

    Any fan of romcoms will recognise the situations which Frankie gets into. It develops into a fake dating trope and by the end you are really rooting for Frankie and hoping that she gets her heart's desire. With some exotic locations, the millionaire lifestyle and a peep into how the rich live, this is an entertaining romcom, just right got the summer.

In short: fake dating and romcom tropes
