Cosy Up in Seahaven Bay by Nicola May #Review #SeahavenBay

From the million-copy bestselling author of The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay, this is a joyful festive read about family, forgiveness, and finding your way home for the holidays.   Snow is drifting over the harbour, a twinkling Christmas market is headed to Seahaven Bay, and Rita Jory is about to learn that the most magical time of year might bring the most chaos… but it also brings the most love.

Sun, Sea and Strawberry Shortcake by Rosie Green #Review

 

I always enjoy a visit to the Little Duck Pond Cafe for another novella by Rosie Green. Sun, Sea and Strawberry Shortcake is number 22 in the series which is quite a feat. 

 It was meant to be a gloriously romantic getaway in Wales for Ruby and Hudson. That was the plan, anyway. But then friends start inviting themselves along, lured by the idea of unwinding in a chocolate-box pretty cottage, wandering the lanes and the coastline, soaking up the sun and the stunningly beautiful Italian-inspired architecture. With Ellie, Jaz, Fen and Madison popping up around every corner, plus another sinister mystery to solve, will the lovebirds ever find time to indulge their desire for sun, sea and . . . strawberry shortcake?


 My Thoughts

We get to go off on a summer break with Ruby and Hudson in this addition to the series so Sunnybrook is left behind. However, four of the characters follow them to the coast. With Ruby and Hudson at the centre, there has to be a mystery to uncover and its outcome wasn't obvious for quite some time. I did worry slightly about Ruby and Hudson's relationship as they seemed to be a bit detached but it did free up Ruby to make a few new friends in the area. 

    Full of the fun and friendship you find in the other books, the novella fits nicely into the series. I do wonder how Rosie Green can keep finding new stories but she does so I am delighted to hear that number 23 is in the pipeline. 

In short: a summer escape for some familiar friends
