His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert #Review

    His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert will take you to a different country and season. It was published by Le Vin Press on 1st November 2025. Widowed, fired, and 50, Claire is one hot mess. This later in life romance hits like a snowball packed with grief and hope and mystery and the kind of second-chance that says, “I didn’t think I’d ever feel this again, and now I’m terrified, but… Hi.” Romance that’s frost melting off a windowpane. It’s “I forgot my heart could do this.” It’s love doesn’t have an expiration date. Twinkly lights, mulled wine and flaming crêpes so immerse you in Christmas markets—you’ll book a flight to France before the fares go up. A book club fiction favourite, Claire’s journey of self-discovery is perfect for fans of women’s fiction and stories about strong women over 50 navigating reinvention with inspiration, humour, with a delicious frosting of romance. “Give yourself the gift of a lush, romantic, French adventure and be swept away ...

Happy Days Ahead in the Cornish Village by Sarah Hope #Reciew #CornishVillageSeriesBook4 #WaggingTailsDogsHome #PublicationDay

 


We are returning to the Wagging Tails Dogs' Home for another in the series. Sarah Hope's Happy Days Ahead in the Cornish Village is published by Boldwood Books today on August 11th. You can my review of The Wagging Tails Dogs' Home here and Chasing Dreams at Wagging Tails Dogs' Home here, A Fresh Start at Wagging Tails Dogs' Home here.

BRAND NEW instalment in the warm-hearted romance series from Sarah Hope, for dog lovers everywhere!

 

Life begins outside your comfort zone…

Book-keeper Megan has always lived life by a set of very rigid rules, but with impending divorce papers on the horizon, she throws herself into a new challenge.

She finds solace and purpose in her volunteer work at a dogs’ home but with finances tight, and soon-to-be ex-husband Lyle controlling her purse strings, she might have to trade the work for something more permanent.

But spending her time in the fresh countryside air, Megan discovers a glimmer of hope for a new beginning, finding strength, love, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow – and maybe, even possibly, a new romance.

A cosy and heartwarming romance set in the beautiful Cornish countryside, perfect for fans of Sarah Bennett, Jo Bartlett and Philippa Ashley.


 My Thoughts

Life goes om in the Wagging Tails Dogs' Home and meeting all the familiar characters adds to the uplifting feel of the story. Their devotion to the dogs is as strong as ever. Megan is one of the new volunteers who arrives to lend a hand. Megan is determined to make amends for her ex-husband's aggression towards the dogs' home and she has left her life with him behind. It becomes clear how controlling he has been as his behaviour towards her gets worse and worse. You see Megan at her lowest but determined to start afresh.

    Friendships flourish in the story and there are challenges to overcome. It is a welcoming community and it seems not only Megan is moving on and looking for a new direction. There is a real family feel to the volunteers who all look out for each other. As ever, the dogs are delightful and the story a heartwarming look at life in the Cornish Village.

In shprt: fresh starts for all
