Love Lies and Family Ties by Florence Keeling #Review

  Today I am featuring Love, Lies and Family Ties  by Florence Keelin.  Some years ago, I was lucky enough to feature Florence Keeling on my blog and you can read her answers to my questions here . A heartwarming, feel good romantic comedy. ‘I absolutely adored this book. It gave me all the feels! A charming read full of warmth and heart.’ ***** Kim the Bookworm   Bea Winters is in desperate need of a fresh start. Being bullied at work is not her idea of fun and she longs to follow her dream of becoming a published author. When an advert appears in her local paper to work in a publishing house in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale, it sounds too good to be true. She strikes up an instant friendship with gorgeous aspiring author, Eddie Richards and her dashing millionaire boss Scott Summers. But all isn’t as it seems in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale.

One Snowy Day by Shari Low #Review

 

One Snowy Day by Shari Low was published by Boldwood Books on August 3rd.

 
On a cold winter’s day, a storm is brewing in the village of Weirbridge…

Georgie Dern has the chance to swap her empty nest for the job of a lifetime in Los Angeles. Can she chase her dream if it means letting down the woman who has given her the world?

Jessie McLean should be counting down the hours until she jets off to spend her retirement years in the sun. But when a devastating betrayal resurfaces, she has to choose between a fresh start and staying behind to settle old scores.

Alyssa Canavan has spent years building the business she adores. Now a legal letter has threatened her home and livelihood, but how does she fight a family that doesn’t give a damn?

Lachlan Morden is forced to return to Scotland to face the people who almost destroyed him. Will coming home reopen old wounds, or will a memory from the past lead him to the perfect revenge?

One snowy day, four lives, but who will have a bright new future when the snow is gone?


 My Thoughts

 As ever, Shari Low delivers a masterclass in plotting and story telling. The lives of the four characters are threaded through the story, each event leading to more information about them and revealing the events which are driving them to act as they do.  Some characters are familiar to readers of her previous novels and others drop in to the story to underline the entire world Shari seems to be creating. Jessie's anguish at leaving her home and, family and work  is shown to have deep roots in her past. Her loyalty to her husband has driven her on to accept some doubts and uncertainties, but she is no longer sure that that is enough.

  Jessie's daughter, Georgie is driven by the same depth of family loyalty and is faced with the opposite conundrum to her mother. She longs to travel away to pursue her own work dreams but she feels a deep responsibility to her mother. Alyssha and Lachlan find their lives intertwined in a shocking way. As Alyssha's determination to find a solution to her problem causes Lachlan to think again about cutting and running, their lives take on a surprising twist. 

   I love how Shari's novels take you into some complicated situations and shows you how the characters come to terms with them. There is a warmth and a humour to the writing. 

In short: highly recommended.
