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.

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.

How does the local clairvoyant know her name? Who does the little black dog that keeps appearing belong to and why does she keep bumping into the mysterious Charlie?

As she starts to unravel the truth, it seems that everyone in Bea’s life is keeping secrets.

An uplifting romantic comedy that will warm your heart – perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Milly Johnson and Carole Matthews.


 My Thoughts

 You get the feeling throughout this story that there are forces at work which are looking after Bea and bringing her to where she needs to be. She has had a difficult relationship with her mother and longs to establish her independence as a writer.  The circumstances in which led to her leaving her job as an accountant were  hard for Bea but she recognises in the village of Bloomsdale a sense of home which she does not at first understand.

    All the way through, you are not sure which of the main characters are malign and which have Bea's best interests at heart. There are some amusing times particularly with her amusing little dog and Bea does get herself into some situations. It is a warm, uplifting story with a few surprises and a character you can root for.

In short: new starts and past secrets
