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 cafƩ! 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 left at home, this feels very much like a girls' holiday and they enjoy the time away from the daily grind, even if they also miss their families. Life s going on back home and one of their friends has a huge secret she is keeping to herself. This series continues with aplomb and carries the reader with it.

In short: A wintry romance

About the Author

Rosie Greenā€™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. (ā€˜The Sunshine Sistersā€™ is a trilogy within the Little Duck Pond CafĆ© series and it would benefit from being read in order: Aurora, Skye and Blossom.) Look out for ā€˜Cosy Nights & Snowball Fightsā€™, and ā€˜Maddyā€™s Christmas Weddingā€™, both out later this year in time for the festive season!
