  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.

The Plot Twist by Victoria Walters #Review

 

All romance readers will enjoy the latest romcom by Victoria Walters. The Plot Twist was published by Boldwood Books on June 19th. 


One new boss, one ex-boyfriend, one big dilemma…

Stevie Phillips has just landed her dream job working for a publishing company and it seems like this is page one of her new, improved life.

But her first day throws more curveballs than she thinks she can handle: there’s been a takeover and the whole publicity team has been fired. And her new boss is the last face she expected to see.

Because Noah Anderson also happens to be her ex-boyfriend.

Thrown together on a campaign for a book the rest of the staff don’t want to touch with a barge-pole, Stevie resolves to make the best of a bad situation. This is her chance to prove herself, and she’s not going to let the man who broke her heart ruin it for her.

When Noah starts hinting that there was more to their break up then him just not loving her, Stevie’s resolution starts to wobble. Getting back with your ex is never a good idea, is it? Especially not when your ex is also your boss…


 My Thoughts

This is one of those books which romance readers will appreciate. Set in the publishing industry, it follows Stevie as she takes on the challenge of getting a certain romance story into the bestseller list, despite the indifference of her new colleagues and a lot of prejudice against the genre. Overlooked by many as irrelevant, it is up to Stevie to breathe life into the publishing campaign and prove everyone wrong. A huge complication has to be the appearance of her new boss who happens to be the man who broke her heart.  I particularly enjoyed the reference to the difference story tropes which you find in the romance genre. This is a fun read and one for tose who are knowledgeable about the genre.

    Of course, you do have to take as read that Stevie can head up this publicity campaign despite her complete lack of experience in the publishing world. Noah is a man with a past and it take a lot of patience to wait for Stevie to decipher just why he left her all those years ago. Family ties are important but so are friendships, both old and new. This is an entertaining book for readers to enjoy. 

In short: second chances and taking a risk
