The Twenty Dates by Ko Porteous #Review #EmptyNesters

It is good to return to The Empty Nesters series by Ko Porteous. The Twenty Dates was published by All Ways Publishing Ltd on October 8th. You can read my review of Book 1, The Freshman Parents   here The kids have left, assuming love endures. But can yours? Book #2 in The Empty Nesters Series   Claire’s marriage is in (total!) crisis. Her husband, Mark, is distracted, presumptuous, and utterly clueless - smart scales for their 19th wedding anniversary? Really? Perhaps she'd be better off alone. At least there'd be less laundry.   When Claire suggests separating, Mark panics. He asks for one last chance: twenty dates, one for each year of their marriage, to prove they're better off together than apart. What follows is a series of adventures Claire never saw coming - some mortifying, some exhilarating, and some that make her question everything she thought she knew. About Mark. About marriage.

Pepper Lane Sweet Shoppe by K T Dady #Review #PepperBayBook14


 I am delighted to return to the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady. with The Pepper Lane Sweet Shoppe.  

 You can read my reviews of others in the series here,  Starlight Cottage |   Honeybee Cottage |  Pepper Pot Farm | Lemon Drop Cottage  |  The Post Office Shop|  Pepper River Inn|  Silver Blooms Flower Shop  |  The Old Boat Clubhouse | Castle on the Mead  |  Christmas Memories at Wtaerside Cottage  The Gatehouse Cafe  |  Silver Wish Farm.

Welcome to Pepper Bay, where you’ll find love, drama, and a happily ever after.

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
