Snowflakes over Middlewick Bay by Eliza JScott #Review #MiddlewickBayBook8

I am delighted to feature the eighth in Eliza J Scott's Micklewick Bay series, Snowflakes Over Middlewick Bay , which was published by Storm Publishing on October 2nd. A wintry treat brimming with snowflakes, secrets and second chances!   When her beloved Aunt Colleen passes away, settling her affairs means doing the one thing Hannah Merryweather has spent years avoiding: returning to Micklewick Bay, the seaside town she fled years ago and has never quite found the courage to face again.   Coming home means facing the past too. Polly, her stepmother, and Darryl, her stepbrother, still loom large over the life she once knew, and the home she lost is never far from her thoughts.   Then, on her very first day back, she nearly collides with the one man she never expected to see again: Lachie, the kilted, green-eyed Scotsman who stole her heart last spring.

Just Date and See by Portia Macintosh #Review

 

I am delighted to be on the tour for Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, Just Date and See. It was published by Boldwood Books on 24th September.

Billie is looking forward to a quiet, man-free Christmas. It’s just a shame her family doesn't feel the same way…

With a house full of unexpected (and unwanted) guests, Billie needs to find the perfect escape to get away from the chaos.

So when her dating app recommends a week of singles nights in her area, Billie decides that braving these events has to be better than making conversation with her dad’s new wife, dealing with her mum's mid-life crisis or witnessing her sister flirting with her insufferably arrogant next-door neighbour.

While this is definitely not the festive season she had planned, between disco bowling and boozy bingo, little does Billie know that she may find love this year after all - she'll just have to date and see...

Fall in love with the perfect laugh-out-loud festive read from top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh


 My Thoughts

 I loved this story. It is so full of wit and humour and the central character of Billie is thoroughly likeable. I enjoyed the tension between Billie's ideal quiet Christmas and the Christmas she actually ended up with. Her family are hilarious, in fact all the characters add  to the humour. Billie's one liners are genuinely funny.

    Billie decides to disappear from her house for some evenings by filling her nights with trips out with the Jingle All the Way dating app. Of course, this is a great vehicle for more humour but also for some budding romance. I was surprised by one of the revelations near the end. I certainly had not guessed what was coming. With some lovely festive touches and some hilarious interactions, this is a great Christmas read.

In short: festive fun and games
