Coming Home to Maple Lodge by Alison Sherlock #Review

  I am delighted to feature the first in Alison Sherlock's new series set in the Corswolds. Coming Home to Maple Tree Lodge was published by Boldwood Books on June 20th.

Autumn in Sycamore Park by CP Ward #Review #TheWarmDaysOfAutumnBook1

 

Today I am happy to feature the first in a new romantic comedy series from CP Ward, author of Christmas at Marshmallow Café and Summer at Blue Sands Cove. Autumn in Sycamore Park was published on June 20th by AMMFA Publishing.

Having fled a relationship and a previous life she would rather forget, young teacher Jennifer Stevens throws herself into a demanding new job at Brentwell Primary. Charged with marshalling a group of unruly eight-year-olds to the autumn harvest festival, her only solace is the peace of nearby Sycamore Park.

As the evenings draw in and the leaves begin to fall, will new friends, delicious autumn treats, and a possible new man on the orange-tinted horizon help Jennifer finally come to terms with her past and begin to look forward into the future?


Autumn at Sycamore Park is another delightful romantic comedy from CP Ward, author of several popular seasonally themed novels. Set against a backdrop of warm autumn days, it offers everything fans of CP Ward’s other books have come to love: laughter, friendship, good times, and a hint of newly discovered love.

My Thoughts

 This is a fun, entertaining read which leaves you with a feelgood feeling and a smile on your face. It is perfect for a late Summer when the evenings are beginning to shorten ever so slightly. Jennifer ids a newcomer to the area so you discover Sycamore Park alongside her. It sounds gorgeous, a real haven. There is a certain mystery about her past and she has cut links with her previous life. It feels like a fresh start.

     Despite the mystery about her past, you can't help but warm to her as a character and it is easy to understand why she seems able to make friends so quickly. Her job as a primary school teacher gives lots of opportunities for some gentle humour and of course, there is the possibility of a slow burn romance. As Jennifer gets involved with the community and fights to save Sycamore Park from the developers, you find yourself urging her to succeed. This is a warm and uplifting romcom.

In short: an appealing romcom
