  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. So nobody’s more surprised than her when she finds herself tongue-tied around Freda’s handsome brother, James – who’s home from war with an unexplained injury.   My Thoughts   The story of the Home Front Nurses continues into 1943 and Freda's ambition to nurse abroad gets ever closer.

A Winter Wedding at Primrose Hall by Jill Steeples #Review #Book6/6PrimroseHall

 

I am thrilled to be on the tour to celebrate a return to Primrose Hall for the final book in the series. A Winter Wedding at Primrose Hall by Jill Steeples was published by Boldwood Books on October 20th .

As the year draws to an end at Primrose Hall, Pia and her Lord of the Manor fiancé Jackson are putting the finishing touches to their annual Carols by Candlelight evening.

The past twelve months have not all been plain sailing - Jackson's father Rex had a serious health scare, his long-lost brother Tom appeared unannounced, and Jackson himself had his own disaster. So the family are thrilled to finally be able to look forward to Christmas together and the event of the year - Jackson and Pia's long-awaited wedding.

With the idyllic backdrop of Primrose Woods, the dream venue, and a community ready to celebrate with them, Pia and Jackson are counting the days until they are husband and wife. Now they just need to cross their fingers that the dramas of the previous year are all behind them...

Welcome back to Primrose Hall for the wedding of the year and guaranteed laughter, friendship and romance. Perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Julie Houston.

 My Thoughts

This has all the ingredients you look for in the final book in a series and even better, it is set in the run up to Christmas, so it has a wonderful, festive feel. Pia and Jackson are busy working their way through the calendar events at Primrose Hall, with their eyes very firmly set on the final date, their wedding day. You get to meet all the characters from the previous books, so you feel that you are fully up to speed with their lives.

    There is plenty of humour to be found in the characters who all build up a wonderful feeling of family, friendship and community. Jackson is recovering from his road accident but realising the effect finding his half brother has had on him as a person. Pia and Jackson are not the only ones with romance  on their mind and there are others who have to work out their feelings and where they want their futures to be. None more so than Tom, Jackson's brother. Pia as usual, is the glue which holds the family together. She has a few moments of uncertainty but you always feel the sincerity of her relationship with Jackson. As their fur family grows, they look forward to a gorgeous future. 

In short: a fitting finale to a wonderful series
