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.

Snowflakes Over Primrose Woods by Jill Steeples #Review

 


Having loved Starting Over at Primrose Woods, I was delighted to be invited to the celebrations for the second in the series, Snowflakes Over Primrose Woods by Jill Steeples. It was published on October 4th by Boldwood Books.

 
Winter has arrived in Primrose Woods bringing with it new loves, new adventures and warm hugs on cold days.

Abbey Carter, her boyfriend Sam and their trusty canine companion Lady, relish living in the picturesque village of Wishwell at the edge of their beloved Primrose Woods.  The woods and the country park are full of activity as the festive season approaches.

Lizzie Baker is flat out at the Treetops café, serving all sorts of winter warmers, festive goodies and lashings of hot chocolate. And when her daughter and grandchildren arrive to stay, the run up to Christmas is set to be even more magical than she had expected.

Rhianna West has finally found the perfect man to fall in love with – if only Luke wasn’t moving away in the New Year. 

As the snow falls on Primrose Woods, and the village of Wishwell sparkles with Christmas lights, could this be the year that every wish comes true for the three friends?


 My Thoughts

The same feeling of family and community continues in this second in the series and I really enjoyed the multi-generation aspect. There are several story strands. Lizzie and her family are looking to reunite around the festive time. Rhianna has worked out just who she would like to get closer to. Central to the story, we have Abbey and Sam whose relationship is moving on apace, although there one or two stumbles along the way.


    This is a lovely setting with so many festive touches. Primrose Woods is a haven for nature so there is plenty of Christmas trees and festive greenery on show. As different story threads are woven together, you get a feel for the warm and inclusive relationships within the village. It is a lovely read for Christmas, such a comfort on a winter’s day. There is a real feeling of optimism, as different couples decide their futures. 


In short: a warm, feelfood festive read
