Winter Magic at Hollybrae Castle by Jaimie Admans #Review

  Winter Magic at Hollybrae Castle by Jaimie Admans was published by Boldwood Books on September 9th. A Scottish castle, a fake marriage… and one very real Christmas romance?   After a window display goes disastrously viral – thanks to a malfunctioning animatronic Santa and an unfortunate encounter with Paddington Bear – Lula Haines finds herself without a job just weeks before Christmas. So she jumps at the chance to decorate Hollybrae Castle in Scotland for the holidays. There’s just one complication: her handsome new boss, Oliver Bracewell, needs a fake wife for the festive season. To secure a promotion that could save his family’s castle, Ollie has been pretending to be a married father-of-two to impress the family-focused firm where he works. Now his bosses are coming to stay at Hollybrae over Christmas… expecting to meet his non-existent wife and children.

Silver Wish Farm by K T Dady #Review #PepperBay

 

Happy Publication Day to Silver Wish Farm, which is the twelfth in the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady.

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, best read in order, that intertwine with recurring characters.

Silver Wish Farm: After Rhett left Heath on their wedding day, things were never the same for them, but because they have a daughter, they’ve always tried their best to keep the peace. But then life changes for Heath, and he suddenly wants answers about their past and the future he believes he should have had, but will Rhett tell him the real reason she left him all those years ago?


 My Thoughts

Although a standalone, this story seems to carry on from where The Gatehouse Cafe left off. Focussing on different members of Viv and Finn's families, you are kept up to date with how life is panning out for everyone. As ever, the family rallies round and the wonderful Pepper Bay community is in evidence. 

    Heath and Rhett have known each other since they were at school and their relationship has been complicated. In some ways, they are both still nursing a broken heart. You also the contrast between Heath and Rhett's upbringing and soon realise that Rhett is carrying some secrets from her past. She has spent too long hiding her feelings and covering up what happened in her family, even from her sister. Nevertheless, she has surrounded her daughter with love and tried to give her everything she missed out on. 

   This is such an enjoyable series, with relatable characters and as ever, the gorgeous Isle of Wight as a backdrop.

In short: Is love enough?
