Escape to the Turquoise seas by Carrie Walker #Review #HolidayRomanceBook4

  I am delighted to feature a gorgeous summer read,  Carrie Walker's, Escape to the Turquoise Seas . It was published by Aria on July 16th .   Kat Brennan has always been the work-hard, play-harder type, navigating single life in London and the chaos of her job at Northstar PR. So when Excalibur Cruises invite her aboard to pitch for their account, she jumps at the chance to prove to her boss she's indispensable... and to finally relax a little. But the last person she wants to get stuck on a boat with is industry hotshot Leo Kendrick, the CEO of rival agency Amplify – and Kat's nemesis. When Leo bagged a coveted marketing internship 15 years ago, Kat vowed never to let him win anything again. She is not about to break that promise, even if Leo has become a distractingly attractive opponent. As the Esmerelda sails the seas, from the Azores to Lisbon via Madeira, the two agencies must battle it out to present the best pitch. But in such close quarters, the sea might...

The Pop - Up Cake Shop by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafe

 

Welcome to Book 39 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! The Pop-Up Cake Shop is the latest novella by Rosie Green.

Ever the entrepreneur, Ellie is planning to bring cakes to the people with her Travelling Cake Van! But as she’s ‘expecting’ to make a rather more personal delivery of her own very soon, will Katja be the one to get behind the wheel of this fabulously mouth-watering journey into the countryside?

 


 My Thoughts

 Following on with Ellie's acquisition of her 'forever home', the story continues with her latest brainwave to spread the message about the Little Duck Pond Cafe and also to deal with her leftover cakes in a sustainable way. She persuades Katya to become the force behind a pop-up Cake Shop and to drive from village to village, setting up shop as she goes. This comes at just the right time for Katya who has a recent heartbreak to work through and gets her out and about. You gett to glimpse some of the neighbouring communities and to get to know a few people who live outside Sunnybrook.

    As ever, romance is in the background and Katya's run -ins with a certain builder and his workers leads to a whole new set of friendships. Ellie is as supportive as you would expect, eagerly awaiting the birth of her baby. With humour and romance, this is as entertaining as others in this series and leaves you wondering just what the staff of the Little Duck Pond Cafe will do next!

In short: entertaining read
