Changing Seasons for the Country Nurse by Kate Eastham #Review

  I am thrilled to review the next in the latest series by  Kate Eastham. Changing Seasons for the Country Nurse was published by Boldwood Books on August 22nd.   In the quiet Lancashire countryside of 1936, city-trained nurse Lara Flynn must contend with far more than muddy lanes and b oisterous farm dogs. Still recovering from a past trauma and an ill-fated love affair, she’s determined to prove herself as a capable district nurse and midwife to a community that doesn’t easily welcome outsiders. As autumn sets in, Lara becomes a trusted presence at Ingleside Surgery - soothing frightened patients, forming a close bond with her spirited colleague Marion and earning the grudging respect of the erratic but brilliant senior doctor. But behind the laughter and team spirit, shadows loom. There’s loss, secrets buried deep in the hearts of her new friends and a face from her past that threatens everything Lara's tried to leave behind. When tragedy strikes a patient - a...

Blue Skies over Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn #Review #(TheWildflowerLockSeriesBook3

 

It is time to return to Hannah Lynn's  delightful Wildflower Series, with the third book, Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock which was published by Boldwood Books on July 3rd.


There may be trouble ahead…

Just when Daisy thought she had canal life understood, Theo, her primary go-to for all of her boating questions has left Wildflower Lock, not to mention the budding romance that has been steadily growing.

Not one to sit and wallow, Daisy takes matters into her own hands. Who said long-distance relationships can’t work?

With the help of trusted friend Yvonne, Daisy takes the September Rose on a round trip to surprise her new boyfriend. The best thing about a home on the water? You can go anywhere!

But perhaps leaving the serenity of Wildflower Lock wasn’t the best idea. Daisy hates keeping secrets from Theo, and she’s not the only one…

Full of fun, friendship, laughter and sweet romance, Blue Skies over Wildflower Lock will delight readers who love Cressida McLaughlin, Heidi Swain and Holly Martin

My Thoughts

In the third in the series, most of the story takes place away from Wildflower Lock as Daisy sets out to surprise her boyfriend, Theo, who is working away. Daisy takes a leap in faith and undertakes the potentially hazardous sail with her friend, Yvonne, who has lots of experience in  sailing canal boats. There are ups and downs on the trip and at times, Daisy regrets her impetuosity in setting off.

Meanwhile, Theo finds himself worrying that Daisy does not feel the same about him as he does her, as she dodges his phone calls and spins him a yarn- all to keep the surprise going. There is plenty of action in the story and Daisy meets some interesting characters. This is a lively fun read with humour and interesting characters. Some of them are familiar from the first two books. You can read this as a standalone.

In short: a lively read
