(Not Quite) Done With Dating by Bella Osborne #Review

I am delighted to welcome another romcom by Bella Osborne . (Not Quite) Done With Dating was published on January 29th by Penguin .      One bad date too many calls for desperate measures . . .    Nora is well and truly fed up. After more painfully bad dates than she can count, she’s had enough of leaving it to fate to find her perfect match – but she's not quite ready to give up on her love life just yet. As a statistician, Nora trusts numbers more than her gut, so when she finds a formula that could help her conquer the dating game, she has to give it a go. Putting her love theory to the test takes Nora to some questionable places with some even more questionable men, but she won't be deterred – she knows that 'the one' must be out there, somewhere. Even if he's the last person she'd have expected. . . My Thoughts   This is a fun, light-hearted romcom, just right to escape into. Nora is slightly quirky with a belief in the power of statistics wh...

The Gatehouse Cafe by K T Dady #Review #PepperBay

 

Castle on the Mead is the eleventh in the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady. I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate its publication.  You can read my reviews of others in the series here,  Starlight Cottage |   Honeybee Cottage |  Pepper Pot Farm | Lemon Drop Cottage  |  The Post Office Shop|  Pepper River Inn|  Silver Blooms Flower Shop  |  The Old Boat Clubhouse | Castle on the Mead  |  Christmas Memories at Wtaerside Cottage 

 
Welcome to Pepper Bay, where you’ll find love, drama, and a happily ever after.

Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Alison Sherlock, Rachael Lucas, and Holly Martin.

The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories that intertwine with recurring characters. Best enjoyed when read in order.

The Gatehouse Café: Vivien leads a double life. A happy one the world sees, and a miserable one that’s hidden away. Nobody knows what goes on in her home once she has closed up the café for the day. She doesn’t think anyone will believe that her partner is a horrible person, especially as he is a policeman.

Finn has been secretly in love with Vivien since he was a teenager, but she’s only ever viewed him as a friend. When he discovers she’s in trouble at home, he does everything in his power to help set her free, because even if she never falls in love with him, she’s still his best friend, and she needs help.


 My Thoughts

This is a real love story. From the beginning, you sense that there is a special connection between  Vivien and Finn. You also realise that Vivien has a few dark secrets which she is hiding beneath the facade she shows to the world on a daily basis. As with all the stories in this series, the characters are easy to like and (with one obvious exception!) and you get to see the community rally around once more.

    This has been a great series and I am hoping to meet more new characters in a few more stories. There is certainly potential for more people to be featured.  It is an entertaining read, which carries you along and is perfect for a winter's weekend. The Isle of Wight is a lovely setting and you do find yourself rooting for the characters and hoping for that happy ever after.

In short: Can love find a way!
