The Scandalous Lady Mina by Kara Temple #Review

  The Scandalous Lady Mina by Lara Temple was published by Mills and Boon on April 23rd.  I also have a great giveaway for you. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post. A Victorian enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance Lady Wilhelmina, once the darling of the ton, fled England in shame after jilting her fiancé. Following a decade in disgrace, Mina’s returning to Society’s ballrooms on a luxury steamship…and encounters her ex-fiancé’s distractingly handsome cousin, Max Cavendish—her once friend, now enemy! Max’s guard is up, yet being in close quarters with Mina sparks a wave of dangerous attraction that makes him want to discover the truth behind the scandal.

A Cornish Escape by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook46



Welcome to Book 46 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! A Cornish Escape is the latest novella by Rosie Green and was published on May 30th. 

 When a catastrophe threatens Ellie's business there's a puzzling mystery to solve, and Gertie steps in to follow the clues. Love and romance are the very last things on Gertie's mind right now. But while she's risking her safety helping to hunt down the culprits, could she also be in danger of losing her heart?

 

My Thoughts

You return to Gertie and Jonah for the next in this lovely series. If you have read the previous story, Rumours, Romance and Rhubarb, you will understand more about their friendship and how it came about. They become involved in the mystery around a break-in at Ellie's cafe and soon realise that there is a bigger story to investigate. This takes them on a journey around the south and south-west of England and to a range of cafes. 

    I always enjoy a trip outside the village but there is plenty about the regular characters and life in the cafe to satisfy. It is amazing that there have been so many stories in this series but it still stays true to the themes and values of life in Sunnybrook. Loyalty, friendship, welcoming strangers looking below the surface and being on the side of the good guys are all there.  

In short: follow the clues to solve the mystery
