The Disgraced Knight's Redemption by Ella Matthews #Review TheKnightsMissionsSeriesBook3

    The Disgraced Knight's Redemption, the third in Ella Matthews' series, The Knight's Missions, was published by Harlequin Historicals on October 23rd.    A disgraced warrior… Torn between duty and desire! Sir Tristan must win back his honor. His orders from King Edward are simple: seek out the leader of Pwll Du Castle—the unmarried Lady Catrin—and demand she leaves. As Tristan is renowned for his lethal charm and handsome looks, how can she resist? But when the beautiful Welshwoman comes under siege from her covetous neighbor, Tristan finds himself fighting for her! Yet, is it a losing battle? For securing the castle and fulfilling his knightly duty will mean letting Catrin go…  My Thoughts This medieval romance can easily be read as a standalone.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding Club by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafe #Review

 

Here we are at Book 35 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! The Sticky Toffee Pudding Club is the latest novella by Rosie Green.

 
After bonding with the lovely Jensen as they save a dog in trouble, Annalise – new to Sunnybrook – is gutted when they part without swapping numbers. She'd had the weirdest feeling he could be The One but now she might never see Jensen again. When she loses her new job in a wedding boutique, her week goes from bad to worse – until Maddy and the café crew come to her rescue with an exciting solution. The Pudding Club. Can Annalise rise to the challenge and – with the help of the Little Duck Pond Café crew – start teaching others how to make her glorious puds? And could The Pudding Club be the key to finding Jensen again?



 My Thoughts

I always enjoy another visit to the Little Duck Pond Cafe and I can hardly believe that the latest instalment is number 35! In this visit, we meet Annalise who decides on a new direction after she is sacked from her new job as an assistant in a wedding dress shop. Her relationship with her grandmother is extremely close and she encourages Annalise to take up the chance to show off her puddings. Of course, as a maker of puddings, she is destined to become friends with the girls in the Little Duck Pond Cafe. As ever, it is great to see how everyone is getting along.

   Annalise is on the lookout for the handsome man she met whilst rescuing a mischievous dog and who she cannot get out of her mind. Annalise has some challenges as she visits her grandmother who is in hospital and her offer to her grandmother to help her shows you her courage and her selflessness. I hope that we meet up with Annalise and Jensen again before the series ends. They fit so well into the community.

In short: family and friendships

About the Author

Rosie Green’s Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe and most can be read as stand-alone stories. (‘The Sunshine Sisters’ is a trilogy within the Little Duck Pond Café series and it would benefit from being read in order: Aurora, Skye and Blossom.) Look out for ‘Cosy Nights & Snowball Fights’, and ‘Maddy’s Christmas Wedding’, both out later this year in time for the festive season!
