Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen

  This is a new to me author but I am delighted to feature on the celebrations for the latest novel by Christy McKellen , Best Mistake Ever . It was published by Boldwood on 16th January. Some mistakes are worth making Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought. Not only does he have impossibly high standards, he’s also out of this world gorgeous, an ex-rockstar with a chip on his shoulder and he's watching her like a hawk! So Bea uses her charm to keep him fo...

A Chance in a Million by T A Williams #Review #PublicationDay #LoveFromItalyBook3

 


Happy Publication Day to TA Williams for the third in his Love from Italy series,A Chance in a Million.

 Fate brought them together, now it’s up to them to make it work…

Having left the army to recover from a traumatic experience, Captain Jane Reed is on her way to Venice to assist Lady Veronica Cooper, a world-famous writer who has lost her mojo. Plagued by grief and sleepless nights, Jane soon finds a kindred spirit in Veronica, coping with her own loss after the death of her husband.

When the two relocate to Veronica’s villa in the countryside to escape the summer tourists, Jane meets the rest of the Cooper family – including Veronica’s brooding son, David. With his own tragic past, David has resigned himself to a life of solitude. Jane finds herself determined to bring joy back into his life, even if it means finally spilling her secrets.

Can Jane and David help each other heal, and find love in the process, or are some scars too deep to treat?

My Thoughts

Gorgeous scenery, lively characters with interesting back stories, a lot of romance and an adorable labrador. Yes it has to be another novel by TA Williams! This story is set in and near Venice and you feel the place come alive as you travel with Jane along the canals and through the countryside. Jane and David both have elements of their past which resonate and there is a spark from the start. They both need to heal after traumatic events and there seems to be something special in the venetian air.

    Family is important with David's supportive relatives helping Jane too to move on. All the people Jane meets come alive on the page, especially his grandmother who I can totally visualise. Jane is a thoroughly likeable character who shows courage as she fights the demons from her past. You always feel hopeful that she will be able to this. She is also without vanity and certainly does not take anything at face value but can look beneath the surface to appreciate people's finer points. Well worth a read, it is always good to escape from the present with a TA Williams romance. 

In short: love in Venice

About the Author


I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only seven years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.

The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations, even if travel to them is currently difficult.
