Making Memories at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash #Review

  We are back with the Cornish Cove series with Kim Nash's Making Memories at the Cornish Cove . It was published by Boldwood Books on April 17th. You can read my review of  Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove here and Finding Family at the Cornish Cove   here .    It’s never too late… After five husbands and five broken hearts, Lydia feels like she’s always been chasing something.

With her newfound sense of identity, she’s keen to re-explore the things that made her happy as a younger person.

Clara's Secret Garden Little Duck Pond Cafe by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondBook23

 

Yes! It's time for another visit to the Little Duck Pond Cafe for another novella by Rosie Green. Clara's Secret Garden is number 23 in the series which is amazing! This is the first of  three novellas which tell Clara's story..  

 
When Clara Bowes transforms a wilderness of a garden, she isn't expecting to reconnect with someone special from her past at the same time. Having Rory Angel in her life again is a dream come true. But life is never straight forward – especially in matters of the heart – and soon, a devastating revelation looks set to bring Clara's hopes for the future crashing down around her. Will she find the strength to reach for her dreams?


 My Thoughts

 By now, Sunnybrook seems quite familiar and it is great to wonder who you are going to meet up with this time, where and when! This series also seems to be able to include new characters each time and incorporate them into the annual calendar of village life. Now we get to meet Clara and her family. She is immensely likeable and has a deep desire to keep her family together and to look after her half-brother, despite her mother's poor parenting. You feel a lot of sympathy for her and once she meets up with Rory again, you are rooting for her to find some personal happiness. However, some things do not go according to plan!

    It is always good to check in with the Little Duck Pond Cafe and I enjoyed the interludes there and hearing snippets about characters who have featured previously. As this is the first in a three- part story, there is a lot more to come for Clara and I am interested to find out what is next for her.

In short: family, friends, cakes and dancing.
