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
