Maddy's Christmas Wedding by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafeBook37#review

  Here we are at Book 37 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Maddie's Christmas Wedding is the latest novella by Rosie Green.   With the wedding of the year approaching, excitement is running high at the café! But there's just one problem. Maddy is grappling with a secret. Could it derail all of hers and Jack's glorious plans for their big day? Will there actually be a wedding?   My Thoughts In this latest festive story, we are taken out of Sunnybrook, in fact, out of the country and taken for a wintry stay in Lapland. It is Maddy's hen party gathering so some of the Little Duck Pond characters are along too. The story continues on from the earlier Cosy Nights and Snowball Fights . The setting is idyllic and so different to life at home. Everything shimmers and shines in the snow and the temperatures are extreme. Maddy should be having the time of her life but she finds that she has a lot on her mind and a heartbreaking decision to make.     With the men le...

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
