Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage by Della Galton #DuckPondCottageBook2 #Review #PublicationDay

  I am loving returning to the Duck Pond Cottage series by Della Galton . Summer Secrets at Duck Pond Cottage is published today by Boldwood Books on February 22nd.   Can love conquer all? Jade and Finn are idyllically happy in their little corner of rural Wiltshire. A rescue centre jampacked with animals keeps them super busy. With Finn’s art going from strength to strength, Jade can’t believe they’re living the dream until an arrogant property developer with questionable motives jeopardises their perfect lives and the future plans of the rescue centre. Jade and Finn both have trust issues and they’ve promised there’ll be no more secrets. But keeping promises is harder than either of them imagined, especially where Finn’s past is concerned. Living with Mr Spock the potty-mouthed parrot and Mickey the dog who barks at TV baddies there's never a dull moment at Duck Pond Rescue. But will the humans get their ‘happy-ever-after’ too? Can they lay the ghosts of the ...

The Sunshine SistersL Blossom by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook34 #SunshineSistersBook3

 

Here we are at Book 34 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! The Sunshine Sisters: Blossom is the third in a trilogy about the three sisters. by Rosie Green.

 
Blossom Sunshine's life is anything but boring right now. She's determined to finally solve the mystery of who her biological father is – despite Mum Ada putting a spanner in the works. What is Ada trying to hide? 

 Meanwhile, best friend Billy is doing his best to impress new girl Jenna. This means cutting back on all the delicious cakes and carbs that he loves, but Jenna's worth it. Isn't she? And then there's Blossom's own love life, which has been a catalogue of disasters up till now – but that was before she met Trevor.  He's not her usual type but she thinks maybe that's a good thing? Could this be real love at long last? One thing's for certain – the path to Blossom achieving her heart's desire looks like it will be far from smooth!

My Thoughts

This is the final novella in the Sunshine Sisters Trilogy and sets about unravelling some deeply buried secrets from the past. None of the sisters are quite ready for the fall out when truths emerge. As before, you are never in doubt about the affection between the sisters and Ada, their mother, but this story goes a long way to explaining the odd dynamics which you have sometimes sensed.

    Blossom's best friend, Billy also features in the storyand is a great support to Blossom. Blossom may have doubts about certain aspects of his life but she too supports him and certainly stands his corner. Although you glimpse Sunnybrook occasionally in the story, the focus is very much on the three sisters. I am ready to return to some of the familiar characters from the previous stories. I'm sure it will feel like going home! 

In short family secrets and romance
