Maddy's Christmas Wedding by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafeBook37#review

  Here we are at Book 37 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Maddie's Christmas Wedding is the latest novella by Rosie Green.   With the wedding of the year approaching, excitement is running high at the café! But there's just one problem. Maddy is grappling with a secret. Could it derail all of hers and Jack's glorious plans for their big day? Will there actually be a wedding?   My Thoughts In this latest festive story, we are taken out of Sunnybrook, in fact, out of the country and taken for a wintry stay in Lapland. It is Maddy's hen party gathering so some of the Little Duck Pond characters are along too. The story continues on from the earlier Cosy Nights and Snowball Fights . The setting is idyllic and so different to life at home. Everything shimmers and shines in the snow and the temperatures are extreme. Maddy should be having the time of her life but she finds that she has a lot on her mind and a heartbreaking decision to make.     With the men le...

Miss Rose and the Vexing Viscount by Catherine Tinley #Review #Giveaway

An unsuitable match for the Viscount

 

And not just because she vexes him!

 

One of The Triplet Orphans. Bookworm Rose Lennox has no interest in making her debut—she’s only in London to discover the truth of her parentage. Her sponsor’s nephew James, Viscount Ashbourne, is equally cynical about the marriage mart, yet they still rile each other every time they speak! The sparks of animosity soon become flames of attraction, but Rose’s unknown past means she can never be a viscount’s wife...

My Thoughts

It was great to be transported back to Regency England, to the social events of the Ton. The three sisters all had their own personality. Anna is the calm practical one. Izzy is far more impulsive. Rose has a reticence which hides her quick wit and independent spirit. This story centres on Rose, when the three sisters travel to London to take part in the social season. I enjoyed the descriptions of the events and parties.As Rose finds out, reputation is everything but life is heavily influenced in favour of the men. Social status is paramount and there are many nuanced social niceties to manoeuvre.

    You see the story through both Rose and James’ perspectives and both emerge as likeable and intelligent people. I also appreciated some of the older ladies with their experienced eyes which didn’t miss anything. This is the first in a trilogy of stories about the three sisters and if you like historical romance, you won’t be disappointed.

In short A season to remember
