A Nantucket Fling by Kathryn Freeman #Review

  Kathyrn Freeman's romcoms are always worth a read so I am delighted to be part of the celebrations for her latest, A Nantucket Fling  which will be published by One More Chapter on June 18th.     Can a no-strings attached holiday fling really just stay casual? Olivia is a fiercely independent woman climbing the ladder of corporate finance. But when her family demands she take time off to go to her niece’s bachelorette and wedding in Nantucket, she reluctantly agrees. On the island, she catches the eye of Connor: a handsome, cocky, playboy type—also ten years her junior. Olivia’s sisters egg her on, encouraging a summer fling, but she’s more interested in catching up on her finance reading. Except…he’s funny and sexy, and doing her ego a world of good.

Kind Hearts and Carrot Cake by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook26

 

I am thrilled that we are returning to Sunnybrook for another novella by Rosie Green. Kind Hearts and Carrot Cake is number 26 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe  series. 

 

When you suddenly find yourself loveless and penniless, how on earth do you make it through? An emotional but ultimately uplifting story of one woman's struggles to get by, and the special someone who brings hope and happiness to light up her world...


 

 

My Thoughts

In this latest return to Sunnybrook, we follow Jen’s story. Recent developments in her personal life have meant that she finds herself struggling to provide a stable home for her son and even to put food on the table. This is a shock to her as she has always let others make her decisions and provide for her. In this story, Jen has a lot of growing up to do.  

    You get to meet a few familiar characters and to take a trip to the Little Duck Pond Cafe but also to find a few new areas of the village and some new characters. There is a slow burn romance and the realisation that all is not as it seems and not everyone can be trusted. Ultimately, this is an uplifting story which shows how some people want to help others and that it is very easy for people to fall on hard times. 

In short: friendships and relationships
