Once Upon a Thyme by Jane Lovering #Review

  It is a pleasure to feature Jane Lovering's  Once Upon a Thyme which was published by Boldwood Books on June 24th.   All her life, Natalie Fisher has been taught not to ask questions. Why risk uncovering uncomfortable truths, when you can stay in the safety of blissful denial? Since taking over the family herb farm, Natalie has stuck with what she knows, rarely venturing much further than the nearby village where her invalid mother now lives. But then, one day, everything changes with the arrival of unexpected visitors. First comes Zeb, employed by Natalie’s mother to help with the business but soon hinting at other motives. Then comes Simon with the famous band he manages, wanting to film in Natalie’s beautiful garden.

Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Alison Sherlock, Rachael Lucas, and Holly Martin.

The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories, best read in order, that intertwine with recurring characters.

Pepper Lane Sweet Shoppe: Erin Mason didn’t know she had any family left, so when she inherits a sweet shop, she’s not entirely sure what to do. There isn’t much else going on in her life, so she goes to check it out in Pepper Bay. After all, a short trip to the Isle of Wight is hardly going to change her life.


 

My Thoughts

I was pleased that this next in the Pepper Bay series, centred on another member of the Silver family. You get to catch up on the members of the family you have met before and yet a whole new story arm opens up. Erin appreciates the strong family bonds between Tyler and his family and how they all look out for each other. It is something she has missed out on. Tyler is nursing a broken heart which is another thing which they have in common. 

    As Erin searches for a place she feels she can belong, she discovers more about the grandfather she did not know much about. As ever, this is an enjoyable read which gathers you up and carries you along. Added to this is a large sprinkling of Christmas magic.

In short: lovely festive reading
