  It is now 1943 and we follow the lives of the Home Front Nurses as they cope with the effects of the Second World War. Shared Secrets for the Home Front Nurses by Rachel Brimble is published on February 13th by Boldwood Books .     ‘Come on, Kathy… tell me a secret.’ 1943: Becoming a Home Front nurse, meant Kathy Scott was finally able to escape the violence of her childhood. At long last, her life has taken a turn for the better. Particularly because, for the very first time, she’s made some wonderful friends–fellow nurses Sylvia, Freda and Veronica. Kathy’s known for not being short of a word or two.

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
