The Year of What If by Phaedra Patrick #Review

  I am delighted to join in the celebrations for the latest novel by Phaedra Patrick , The Year of What If. You can read my review of The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper   here and The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy  here Can the future be rewritten? On the verge of her second marriage, Carla Carter knows she’s finally found the one. She and her fiancé, Tom, met through Logical Love, a dating agency she founded for the pragmatically minded, and she’s confident that, together, they will dispel an old family curse claiming Carter women are unlucky in love. But Carla’s highly superstitious family insists she visit a fortune teller before her big day, and the tarot cards reveal that a different man holds the key to Carla’s happiness – someone she met while travelling during a gap year, twenty-one years ago. This startling information spurs Carla to trace and revisit the ex-boyfriends she met during that time before she walks down the aisle. From Barcelona to Am...

A Summer Wedding at the Second Chances Sweet Shop by Hannah Lynn #Review #TheHollyBerrySweetShopSeriesBook6

 

Today I am returning to The Holly Berry Sweet Shop Series. A Summer Wedding at the Sweet Shop of Second Chances by Hannah Lynn was published on April 1st by Boldwood Books. 

 
Going to the chapel, but will they get married?

After the holiday romance to beat all other holiday romances, it’s back to regular life for Holly Berry, and the sweet shop is busier than ever. With Jamie and Finn’s wedding coming up, Holly is rushed off her feet, making sure their big day is perfect.

So when her handsome boyfriend comes to visit, she is both elated to see him and overwhelmed. She wants to show Evan all the things she loves about her village, as well as introducing him to baby Hope, but how can she find the time?!

Evan offers to lend a helping hand in the shop, and as he gets to know the locals, this loud and proud American certainly makes an impression. But Holly knows she can’t get used to this – because it won’t be long until he has to go home.

Can she make the most of the summer, with everyone she loves finally in the same place, or will she let the hectic wedding planning get the better of her?

A heartwarming romance set in the beautiful Cotswolds, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Jessica Redland.


 My Thoughts

Holly is still trying to come to terms with being swept off her feet on her recent holiday abroad and wondering if things will be the same with Evan when he comes to stay in the village. She has a habit of compartmentalising her life and letting him into her home life is quite a big step. Family and friendships are as important as ever, but there are a few surprises waiting for her.

    Holly zipping about the countryside on her Vespa sums up the mood of this romcom and there are plenty of entertaining moments. However, there are the odd sadder moments but Holly always tries to put a positive spin on events. With wedding plans going off plan, there are a few surprises showing you can't take everyone at face value. This is a fun series with a good range of characters and plenty of action to keep the momentum going.

In short: love and laughter
