Rumours, Romance and Rhubarb Crumble by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook45

  Welcome to Book 45 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Rumours, Romance and Rhubarb Crumble is the latest novella by Rosie Green and was published on March 29th.   When Gertie buys a run-down house 'by accident', she considers it the latest fail in a series of disasters! Her job at the Little Duck Pond Café and the friends she's made there are a big comfort – especially as temporary boss Alice seems to be going out of her way to make her life difficult. But then Gertie meets the handsome Rafe – and her life takes a turn she definitely wasn't expecting . . . My Thoughts I enjoyed getting to know Gertie in this latest novella in the series and to catch up with some familiar characters who make up the Little Duck Pond community.  Not all the workers in the cafe are warm and welcoming at first, however, but you find out that there is more to the temporary Manager than meets the eye. Gertie finds herself living in a cottage in need of a lot of TLC but with a slight...

Booked for Summer by Kathryn Freeman #Review

 

I love all Kathyrn Freeman's romcoms so I am delighted to be part of the celebrations for her latest, Booked For Summer which was published by One More Chapter on April  30th. 

 
A love story she didn't see coming…

When book lover Jade Taylor applies to manage the Little Bay Book Shack on Nantucket Island over the summer, the last thing she needs is the distraction of billionaire resort owner, Liam Haven.

But things take an unexpected turn when Liam becomes Jade’s boss – a man who reads nothing but contracts for pleasure…

In a bid to save the bookshop from being absorbed into the Haven resort, Jade is determined to teach Liam that there’s more to life than acquiring real estate. And if she can make him realise happily ever afters do exist, might she be able to save the island’s bookshop in the process?


 My Thoughts

This is a totally escapist read which takes you away to the beautiful and exclusive Nantucket Island.  On the surface, Jade and Liam are opposites. She has her feet on the ground and a fairly normal upbringing. Liam on the other hand is the Billionaire owner of the hotel complex. However, you soon find out that Liam's background is not a silver spoon one and that he has vulnerabilities and insecurities.   They are both likeable characters who you can get invested in.

     Jade has come to the resort with big plans to get involved in the running of the bookshop. Liam has zero interest in keeping the shop as it would be in the way of his plans to redevelop the resort.  This creates a tension between them and when it becomes clear that he is her boss, Jade finds the whole situation more and more difficult. Liam's plans for change have their roots in his childhood and the way he was treated as a boy by certain locals. If you want a fun and entertaining read, look no further.

In short: great summery read
