Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage by Della Galton #DuckPondCottageBook2 #Review #PublicationDay

  I am loving returning to the Duck Pond Cottage series by Della Galton . Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage is published today by Boldwood Books on February 22nd.   Can love conquer all? Jade and Finn are idyllically happy in their little corner of rural Wiltshire. A rescue centre jampacked with animals keeps them super busy.

Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash #Review

 

Here is another uplifting read by Kim Nash. Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove was published by Boldwood Books on March 30th. 


A perfect new start in Cornwall…

Meredith's life is at a standstill. She's stuck in a dead-end job, approaching fifty, and her dating life is a string of disasters. But one evening, while browsing the internet, she sees an ad for a lighthouse, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she makes a ridiculous bid for it.

With the help of local handyman Clem, she sets about renovating. And as they work together, a bond begins to form. But when Meredith finds out that Clem is keeping a secret from her, it changes everything. Will they find a way to build something more meaningful together?

A delightful story about community, friendship and having the courage to start over, perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Milly Johnson and Lucy Dillon


 My Thoughts

This is a gentle read which centres on starting over and making new friends in a delightful Cornish village. The story is largely character driven. In the main, the members of t the community respond to Meredith's open manner and generous spirit. Those who don't are revealed to have their own reasons for their attitudes. Meredith's relationship with her mother comes under the microscope and it is clear, that Meredith's early experiences have had a lasting impact on her.

    There is always an air of romance in the background but Meredith is super cautious about any new relationships.This is a slow burn romance with the emphasis on friendship  and compatibility in the long run. The lighthouse and the setting is gorgeous and so beautifully described. With some quirky, humorous charcters and even a delightful labrador, this is a real feelgood read. 

In short: warmth and romance abound
