Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble #Review #HomeFrontNurses

  It is now 1943 and we follow the lives of the Home Front Nurses as they cope with the effects of the Second World War. Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble is published on February 13th by Boldwood Books .     ‘Come on, Kathy… tell me a secret.’ 1943: Becoming a Home Front nurse, meant Kathy Scott was finally able to escape the violence of her childhood. At long last, her life has taken a turn for the better. Particularly because, for the very first time, she’s made some wonderful friends–fellow nurses Sylvia, Freda and Veronica. Kathy’s known for not being short of a word or two. So nobody’s more surprised than her when she finds herself tongue-tied around Freda’s handsome brother, James – who’s home from war with an unexplained injury.   My Thoughts   The story of the Home Front Nurses continues into 1943 and Freda's ambition to nurse abroad gets ever closer.

An (Un)romantic Comedy by Phoebe MacLeod #Review #PublicationDay

 

I am thrilled to be taking part in the celebrations for An (Un)Romantic Comedy by Phoebe MacLeod. It is published today by Boldwood Books.

 
The course of true love never did run smooth, but with Phoebe MacLeod it always gets a chance. Perfect for fans of Jo Watson, Mhairi McFarlane and Portia MacIntosh.

The black sheep is coming home for her sister’s wedding.

One week with the whole family in one house.

What could possibly go wrong?

Poppy is a therapist. You’d think her parents would be proud. But Poppy is the type of therapist that makes her mother cringe - she helps people with their, ahem, bedroom problems…

Normally Poppy deals with her difficult family - two parents, one brother, a couple sisters and an assortment of nieces and nephews - by keeping a county or two between her and them. But with her little sister about to get married there’s no avoiding the week-long family holiday in Cornwall.

The trip was always going to be a catastrophe, but Poppy never imagined how much her family needed her professional skills… Nor did she expect to meet a sexy surfer on what was supposed to be the most unromantic holiday ever.

Can a nightmare holiday lead to the love of a lifetime?


 My Thoughts

This is a thoroughly entertaining read which fizzes along. There are some lively characters who all contribute to the story and Poppy’s family dynamics certainly add to the entertainment. Poppy herself is a likeable character and her sense of humour shines through. 

     Although Poppy usually keeps her family at arm’s length, she cannot help but get involved in each of their quandaries. Sometimes she needs to use her professional expertise. Not used to dealing with teenagers, she finds her nephews and nieces hard to pin down and an echo of her own sibling relationships. There is a gentle slow burn romance on the cards for Poppy but it is actually the humour that is found in the wedding preparations which sets the tone for this lively romcom. 

In short: friends, family, wedding madness and love
