Poppy’s Parisian Pâtisserie by Daisy James #TheBlossomwoodBaySeriesBook6 #Review

  Here is your chance to check in again with the Blossomwood Bay series with Poppy's Parisian Patisserie by Daisy James .   Escape to chic and glamorous Paris! When Poppy Phillipson loses her chocolate-making business in the Blossomwood Bay fire, she’s heart-broken; all her hopes and dreams wiped out in the space of an hour. As if that wasn’t enough, her last three dates were a complete disaster – one two-hour lecture on the intricacies of the off-side rule, one no-show, and an embarrassing abandonment mid-date – and she’s having a hard time not to take it personally. So, when her brother asks her to come to the rescue of his friend Olivier Bourdain, owner of Pâtisserie Madeliene, following a freak skiing accident, she decides it’s the perfect way to escape the Devonshire drizzle and enjoy a petit sojourn from all-thing romance exploring the boutiques and boulevards of elegant Paris. However, when she meets handsome French chef Fabien Dumont, with his sexy accent and da

Sunny Sundays at Primrose Hall by Jill Steeples #Review

 

I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate a return to Primrose Hall. Sunny Sundays at Primrose Hall by Jill Steeple was published by Boldwood Books on April 15th.

 
Primrose Hall is more than Jackson Moody and his fiancée Pia’s home – it’s the heart of the community.

The Sunday craft fairs in the renovated stables are a popular draw for the locals and tourists alike, enticed by the beautiful surroundings of Primrose Woods as well as the irresistible goodies on display. But for Sophie Wright they’re a chance to forge a new life and a new business. After leaving behind a turbulent relationship, Sophie is starting again – and romance is the last thing on her mind.

Drop dead gorgeous Tom Moody, Lord of the Manor Jackson’s newly-discovered older brother, is loving being a member of the Primrose Hall community. Content to muck in where he can be helpful, he’s just happy to be part of the family. But when tragedy strikes, Pia needs Tom more than he ever expected. And when Tom needs a shoulder to cry on, Sophie might be the perfect person to help – if only she hadn’t sworn off romance for good…

Join the gang at Primrose Hall for laughter, tears, friendship and romance, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Julie Houston.


 My Thoughts

The Primrose Hall series of books have a likeable set of characters and a lovely sense of family and community. Not that everything goes smoothly all the time, In this fifth in the series, Pia has some serious challenges to face and Jackson's brother, Tom, has to step up to the plate. Working to help out at the Hall, he meets Sophie, who has had a difficult time and is trying to re-establish her life on an even keel. 

    It is interesting to see how attitudes change as the story evolves, especially Jackson's who has stood back, emotionally, from his newly acquired brother. I can absolutely visualise the Hall and its neighbouring countryside. Characters from previous stories appear from time to time, so it is good to catch up with their lives. I am hoping for another in the series as I think that Pia's story still has further to go. This is one of those series which leave you feeling uplifted, looking on the bright side.

In short: Family, friends, romance
