The Soprano's Daring Duke by Susanne Dunlap #Review

  Susanne Dunlap's Regency novel, The Soprano's Daring Duke is her second double dilemma story. You can read my review of the first here:  The Dressmaker's Secret Earl A princess with a scandalous secret. A duke desperate for a wealthy bride. A debutante torn between duty and passion. Newly widowed Princess Adelheid Kinsky thought she was free—until she learns of her abusive late husband’s final betrayal. The son she believed dead, the illegitimate child of a forbidden love, still lives. To secure his future, she must marry within a month—without revealing the truth. Her best prospect? The Duke of Hartland, a notorious rake drowning in debt. Meanwhile, Hartland sets his sights on Olivia Fontenoy, an heiress whose fortune could solve all his problems. But innocent Olivia dreams of music, not marriage, and seizes the chance to perform in disguise at the King’s Theatre—unwittingly ensnaring everyone she knows in scandal. As deception and desire collide, Olivia finds...

Finding Family at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash #Review

 

Here is the latest in the Cornish Cove series by Kim Nash. Finding Family at the Cornish Cove was published by Boldwood Books on October 3rd. You can read my review of  Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove here

 
Family is everything…

In the years since her death, Gemma has been running her late mother’s café with devotion, and when an opportunity comes to buy out her next-door neighbour and expand, she jumps at the chance.

She knows she will do her mother proud – keep her legacy going strong – but deep down she knows there’s still something missing. With her mum in her mind more than ever, and the knowledge that she may never start a family of her own, she can’t stop thinking about what life has in store for her.

But sometimes family are those you choose, or those who choose you! And with a growing community of supporters cheering Gemma on – including some new faces at her blossoming bistro – and maybe one in particular, will she really spend the rest of her life alone?


 My Thoughts

Family is front and centre of this delightful romcom by Kim Nash. You get to see families of all shapes and sizes and there are plenty of unfinished issues to work through before Gemma can admit who she regards as her family. Parenting teenagers sits side by side with childlessness and new pregnancies. Absent parents also make an appearance with the effect of this being shown on the children from years back.

    I enjoyed Gemma's optimism, although I did lose patience with some of her reactions to unfolding events. Above all, she emerges as a nurturer who leaves people better off for knowing her. With such a delightful setting and community, this is an enjoyable read with plenty of romance to go along with the storyline and an interesting character in Jude and the hilarious Occy.

In short: Friends and family
