“Love Story” by Lindsey Kelk

Synopsis

She’s a small-town schoolteacher, he’s a hotshot creative director. Together, it’s hate at first sight.

Sophie Taylor has a secret and Joe Walsh is the last person she’d tell. He’s devilishly handsome, incredibly hot – and far too sure of himself.

But Sophie desperately needs his help.

Because she’s not just hiding something small. She is Este Cox, the mysterious romance author the entire world is desperate to unmask.

When a trip to the countryside means sharing a cottage with only one bed, it’s a short step to sharing a whole lot more besides… Can Sophie trust Joe with the truth – and be herself?

My Review

So when Harper Fiction messaged me asking if I wanted a proof copy of ‘Love Story’ by Lindsey Kelk I couldn’t have said yes fast enough! Lindsey is one of my fave authors and I’ve met her twice and going to meet her again in July and I can’t wait 😊

It centres on Sophie, who is a school teacher, but really an author who writes a bestseller and nobody knows this even her family. So how does she navigate this?! Joe works in literature and once he meets Sophie he just wants to wind her up!

Now onto this book, where do I start? I loved loved the banter between Sophie and Joe, also the relationship she has with her family and siblings. There were numerous points of this story where I couldn’t stop laughing, and I mean tears in my eyes laughing. It was witty and kept me on my toes wanting to know what would happen next.

I wanted to savour this book but at the same time I just didn’t want to put it down. Lindsey has this way of making her narrative serious one minute and laugh out loud the next so these reactions kind of come out of nowhere and I love it. I will always be a mega fan of Lindsey’s book as I want to devour everything she writes.

So, just go and grab yourself a copy of this hilarious, witty, full of banter, enemies to lovers book which will have you laughing too 🥰 This was just the perfect read I didn’t know I needed right now! 💖

Again, I can’t wait to see Lindsey again soon and I very much appreciate Harper Fiction sending me an early copy so thank you!

“Reckless” by Elsie Silver

“Reckless” by Elsie Silver

Synopsis

Theo Silva. Rowdy bull rider, notorious ladies’ man, scorching hot trouble wrapped up in a drool-worthy package.

And he’s looking at me like I might be his next meal.

I’m almost free of my toxic marriage and have sworn off men entirely. So all I see when I look at Theo is temptation served up with a heaping side of heartbreak.

The man is hard to trust-and even harder to resist.

Make that impossible. Because Theo is persistent. And no matter how hard I try to freeze him out, he melts my icy exterior and pulls apart all my defences.

Then I spend the singular hottest night of my life with him.

It was supposed to be a one-time thing.

A secret.

But that little plus sign is going to make this secret impossible to keep.

My Review

“She has the most confusing and consuming effect on me”

“That night we were reckless…. But god, I’d be reckless with you over and over again if it means ending up here”

I’ve been putting off reading the ‘Chestnut Springs’ series books for a while because I really don’t want them to end! But I thought it was time I read ‘Reckless’

We finally get to know Winter a lot more who is Summer’s sister (from Flawless) Winter has a rough time and she spots the delight that is Theo Silva at a gas station. What she doesn’t know is that they are both heading towards Wishing Well Ranch.

Omg this story has everything and more!! I was so happy to head back to this familiar small town setting. I love Winter’s character development, at the beginning she is a shell of herself but by the end she’s positively amazing. Theo… where do I start?! Hes so sure of himself but he’s endearing with it too. I’d definitely want a Theo in my corner.

I can’t wait to read the final instalment in the series soon but I’ll be so sad at the same time. I know Elsie Silver has also started a new series and I can’t wait to get to that too. Elise Silver encompasses you into her world just by reading her narrative, I love it. I highly recommend you grab a copy of ‘Reckless’ for yourself to discover family, banter, he falls first second chance romance, you won’t regret it 🥰💖

“The Summer Escape” by Jill Shalvis

“The Summer Escape” by Jill Shalvis

Synopsis

Love can be an adventure . . .

Anna Moore didn’t just wake up one day and decide to go on an adventure, so how in the world did she end up racing against the clock to prove that her dad is innocent of stealing a million-dollar necklace? The answer would be her bossy big sister Wendy: seven months pregnant and on bed rest, but desperate to clear their dad’s name.

Joining her on her unexpected quest is the sexy and enigmatic Owen Harris. His goal? To prove that Anna’s dad is guilty as hell and return the lost jewellery back to its rightful owner – his elderly great aunt.

Forced to work together despite their mutual animosity, Anna and Owen find themselves on a scavenger hunt for clues to the past (with Wendy remotely along for the ride via an earbud). As they start to piece together what really happened to the necklace, they also start to learn more about themselves . . . and the inexplicable and explosive chemistry between them that they can no longer ignore.

My Review

“That’s their loss, because you’re the most exciting, fascinating woman I’ve ever met”

“How is it that you can just look at me and make me feel like I’m worth something?”

Now I haven’t read the rest of this series but that didn’t matter when I started reading ‘The Summer Escape’ This is my first read by Jill Shalvis and it won’t be my last.

Anna needs to go on a quest to prove her father’s innocence to a theft of a coin collection and necklace. Owen’s aunt is the original owner of the necklace and coins so can they work together to find out what happened to them?

I loved the mystery aspect of this story. Anna with the help of her pregnant sister Wendy want to prove their father didn’t do it. Owen just wants to find out what happened. I adored the sisterly relationship between Anna and Wendy and the hilarious names they kept coming up with for Wendy’s unborn triplets.

Jill honestly kept me hooked from beginning to end I just didn’t want to put it down. The mystery and romance were the perfect balance and I can’t wait to read the other books in this series. I love how you can read them in any order.

I highly recommend you grab a copy of ‘The Summer Escape’ which is full of banter, family dynamics and love to boot 🥰

#BlogTour for “A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street” by Jaimie Admans

Synopsis

There’s always time for tea… unless you’ve lost your teapot…

Cleo Jordan has only ever wished for one thing – to open her own teashop in memory of her lovely gran. So when she accidentally fools the interview board into thinking she’s a brilliant baker and is offered a prime spot on Ever After Street, she knows her dream is about to come true!

Stepping into The Wonderland Teapot is like falling down the rabbit hole – magical! But there’s a catch: Cleo has completely lost her love of baking! With her little white lie ticking in her ear, it seems her dream is over before it’s begun.

Until she meets her very own Mad Hatter. Loved by everyone on Ever After Street, magician Bram brings an energy to the teashop that lifts everyone, and slowly, with his encouragement, Cleo is getting back to doing what she loves best.

But with Bram hiding secrets of his own, Cleo isn’t sure she can put all her faith in him. And when things start going wrong at the teashop, Cleo wonders if the culprit sabotaging her dream is someone closer than she thinks?

If Cleo wants her wish to work, she has to learn to trust again before she loses her head and heart completely…although it might already be far too late for that…

My Review

Today I’m on the blog tour for ‘A Wonderland Wish on Ever After Street’ and I’m so excited about it. Thank you to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to take part.

In this instalment of the Ever After Street series we are in the world of Alice in Wonderland at The Wonderland Teapot. Cleo has finally got her dream of a shop on Ever After Street but can she make it work?

Oh my this story was so magical and I just didn’t want to leave Ever After Street again. Cleo and Bram were wonderful characters to lead this story it wouldn’t be the same without them. To see both of them develop through this book was amazing.

The community on Ever After Street is incredible and I would also want to be part of it if I had the chance (and it was real of course!)

Jaimie just has this way of transporting you completely to a different world with her stunning setting and characters, even the side characters are wonderful. Jaime also mentioned me in her acknowledgements and it just absolutely made my week! She’s lovely and so down to earth.

I cant wait for another instalment of this series as soon as I can read it 💖 ‘A Wonderland Wish’ is full of friendship, love and laughter 🥰

#BlogTour for “A New Dawn at Owl’s Lodge” by Jessica Redland

Synopsis

Could one chance meeting change your life forever?

Zara is at a crossroads in life. While she adores her job as a producer’s assistant working on hit TV shows, travelling around the country means she doesn’t truly feel that she has a home. With a fractured relationship with her family and unrequited love weighing heavily on her heart, she is torn about what her next step in life should be…

Snowy is hiding from the world. He’s devoted his life to home schooling his young son and caring for sick owls at his home, Owl’s Lodge, deep in the Yorkshire Wolds countryside. While he’s passionate about both, it’s a lonely existence and he’s starting to question his decisions. But how do you step back into a world you’ve pushed away for years…?

When Zara brings an injured owl to Owl’s Lodge, its frosty, reclusive owner is far from welcoming. Despite hostilities, there’s a connection that neither could ever have prepared themselves for. As they discover a shared passion, a new friendship blossoms, but both Zara and Snowy are used to shutting people out.

Can they both find the courage to open up and the strength to move on from their pasts? And what could this mean for their future happiness?

My Review

It’s my stop on the blog tour for ‘A New Dawn at Owl’s Lodge’ Thank you to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to take part.

This story focuses on Zara, who’s a production’s assistant for her best friend Amber. We met Amber in the first Bumblebee Barn book. Snowy is mostly hiding at home but he also rescues owls and rehabilitates them. So what happens when Zara takes a poorly owl to Snowy to help?

Wow, I absolutely loved being back at Bumblebee Barn and briefly back at Hedgehog Hollow too. This book was wonderful. I really loved getting to know Zara and Snowy as the story is told by both of their perspectives.

I really enjoyed learning a lot about the different types of owls in this country. Jessica’s books are always very well researched and that just shines through I always learn something new and I love that.

Jessica takes you on a journey that allows you to totally escape into her beautiful setting and wonderful characters. On the subject of characters I also loved Snowy’s son he was so funny.

At the same time as being light, Jessica touch’s on some tough subjects but she does this with such a great amount of sensitivity. ‘A New Dawn at Owl’s Lodge’ is a story full of loss, grief but also love and friendship. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I can’t wait to see what Jessica writes next 🥰

I live in Scarborough on the stunning North Yorkshire Coast in the UK. My home inspired the creation of the fictional seaside town of Whitsborough Bay where I set some of my books. The Hedgehog Hollow series and Bumblebee Barn take readers to a gorgeous countryside setting on the Yorkshire Wolds. There’s more to come from the Bumblebee Barn world, giving further glimpses into what’s happening at Hedgehog Hollow. In July 2023, I added the lakes and mountains to my settings with the start of my ‘Escape to the Lakes’ series. I absolutely love this part of the country and am delighted to be setting a new series in my happy place.

I live with my husband, our teenage daughter and sprocker spaniel, Ella. I’m a stationery addict with a notepad obsession who loves chocolate (although it doesn’t love me), hedgehogs, 80s music, collectible teddy bears and lighthouses.

My career has mainly been in HR as a trainer and recruiter. I had a brief detour into retail to set up and manage my own specialist teddy bear shop and started writing my debut novel on quiet days in the shop.

In June 2020, I became a full-time author. I’m so very grateful to anyone who has bought or borrowed my books in whatever format, helping me fulfil a long-held dream of writing full-time. I still can’t believe I get to spend every day chatting to my fictional friends and making stuff up.

“The Cottage on Strawberry Sands” by Holly Martin

Synopsis

They say there’s no place like home and for Roo Clarke this couldn’t be more true. Fourteen years ago she left the sparkling shores of Apple Hill Bay for America, leaving behind her childhood best friend Theo Lucas, and with him a piece of her heart. Nothing has felt right since then, and though she’s certain Theo has long since moved on from their hometown, Roo has high hopes that the exciting new job that’s brought her back here and the quirky beach hut she’ll make her own will fill her heart again.

But Theo hasn’t moved on, he’s right where Roo left him in Apple Hill Bay, and he’s even more gorgeous than Roo remembers. Fourteen years is a long time, but the secret crush she harboured as a teenager burns as intensely as if they’d never been apart. What if this is her chance to tell him how she really felt all those years ago? And what if he felt the same way? What if the lost years melted away, could they fall in love? Or could something unexpected ruin everything between them?

My Review

“I have waited fourteen years for a second chance with you, I can wait a little longer”

“I firmly believe that everyone has their one, the person they’re supposed to be with. Maybe you were meant to come back here and find each other”

Once I received my signed copy of ‘The Cottage on Strawberry Sands’ I couldn’t wait to read it. Holly Martin never disappoints!

Aurora, also known as Roo has moved back to Apple Hill Bay after fourteen years to start a new job, but the last thing she expected was to run into Theo her best friend when they were teens. It’s not surprising there is chemistry between them.

I wanted to savour this book for as long as possible. I loved being in Apple Hill Bay it’s a place I’d love to visit it sounds amazing. It also provided me with the exact escapism that I needed right now. The characters are fab and there’s plenty going on with them all. I thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife aspect too.

Holly Martin pulls you into the perfect imaginary world and introduces you to some beautiful characters. Ones where you just want to be friends with them and be part of their world.

I can’t wait already for anything that Holly comes up with next. I highly recommend ‘The Cottage on Strawberry Sands, you won’t regret reading this perfect summer read! 🥰

“My Paris Romance” by Olivia Spring

“My Paris Romance” by Olivia Spring

Synopsis

Cassie swore she’d never fall for another rich guy. Her heart has other ideas.

After a whirlwind holiday romance with hot billionaire Frenchman Nico, personal assistant Cassie receives an invitation to visit him in Paris.

Although she’d love a fairy-tale reunion, Cassie cannot fall for Nico. They live in different countries, come from different worlds, plus he’s more loaded than a bank vault. And after her rich ex and his snooty family left her feeling heartbroken and worthless, Cassie swore off dating wealthy guys. If she’d known Nico was France’s most eligible bachelor when they met, she’d never have got involved.

But their connection is undeniable and she’d be crazy not to see him again. If Cassie suppresses her feelings and just goes for the experience, she can avoid getting hurt, right?

Except when Nico sweeps her off her feet with a string of sexy, romantic dates around Paris, her plan not to fall in love unravels. She hopes he feels the same, but then a shocking revelation turns her world upside down…

Can they overcome their obstacles? And will Cassie get the happily-ever-after she’s been dreaming of?

My Review

“Every time he kissed me, it was like I’d been struck by lightning”

Once I finished the second book to this series I had make my next read book three which is ‘My Paris Romance’ 😊

This book follows on from book two where we first meet Cassie and Nico but ‘My Paris Romance’ is a full length story, so we get to know them in a lot of detail. Can Cassie and Nico make their relationship work when one lives in the UK and one in Paris?

I really enjoyed getting back to Cassie and Nico’s story and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I also loved the setting of Paris which is somewhere I’d love to visit. Even though there’s distance between them I was rooting for this relationship from the beginning.

Olivia has a way of making you become invested in the story, the characters and the stunning settings. Her narrative flows freely so you can enjoy the fun and banter in the story.

I highly recommend you grab a copy of this wonderful escapism. This is full of flirty banter, friendship and love 🥰

I can’t wait to read more of this series and more of Olivia’s books in general ♥️

My Review

Today I’m on the blog tour for ‘Summer Days at Clifftop Cottage’ Thank you to Rachel at Rachel’s Randok Resources for the opportunity to take part.

After finishing the first instalment of the ‘Micklewick Bay’ series I couldn’t wait to read the second which is ‘Summer Days at Clifftop Cottage’ and this story focuses on Maggie who is part of the friend group of Florrie who we meet in book 1. I still feel like these can be read in any order though which is just fab.

Maggie and Bear are settled in their lives in Micklewick Bay with a strong marriage. Robyn, Maggie’s estranged cousin invades their lives with no warning whatsoever.

I feel like flew through this story, especially the second half I just didn’t want to put it down. It did also keep me company when I couldn’t sleep so thanks to Eliza for that 😊 I love this friend group and getting to know the residents of Micklewick Bay a lot better.

I loved Maggie and Bear and their relationship as a whole it’s a relationship I love to have with my own partner and I know we do have that. I obviously didn’t like Robyn very much but you will find out why when you read it for yourself!

I can’t wait to read the third instalment to this series actually sooner rather than later 🥰 Eliza J Scott just gives you the perfect escapism with her stunning settings and characters. It’s a community I’d want to be a part of. I highly recommend you grab this series qnd a cuppa and enjoy 💖

“My Ten Year Crush” by Olivia Spring

“My Ten Year Crush” by Olivia Spring

Synopsis

The first kiss wrecked their friendship. Could a second chance lead to love?

English teacher Bella isn’t having much luck with her love life. No matter who she dates, no one seems to measure up to Mike: the ex-bestie she shared a drunken kiss with ten years ago, which led to the end of their friendship…

When Bella comes face-to-face with Mike at their university reunion, sparks fly. He’s smart, funny and even hotter than before, and despite trying to fight her feelings, Bella still can’t get him out of her head.

But after what happened the last time she stepped out of the friend zone, Bella isn’t in a hurry to be rejected all over again.

Should Bella risk more heartache by telling Mike how she really feels? Could the attraction be mutual? Or is it finally time to put her past behind her and say goodbye to a second chance at love, forever?

My Review

“Now he was my best friend, my cheerleader and my lifetime love”

So when I finished Olivia’s latest book, I just had to go back and read one of her backlist and I chose ‘My Ten-Year Crush’

Bella kissed her best friend Mike ten years ago but it didn’t go to plan, she meets him again at their ten year school reunion. Can a second chance be what they need?

I loved this story! I was invested in Bella’s journey from the very beginning. She’s definitely a character who knows what she wants. I enjoyed the school reunion element as we don’t really do those in the UK so I was living vicariously through Bella. Mike sounds like a swoon worthy man who Bella just clicks with.

I flew through ‘My Ten-Year Crush’ in just a few days and it spurred me on to carry on reading this series asap! I absolutely loved a good second chance romance story and this was no different! It’s one of my favourite tropes.

‘My Ten-Year Crush’ is a story full of friendships, second chances, and love to boot 🥰💖

“Lovelight Farms” by BK Borison

“Lovelight Farms” by BK Borison

Synopsis

Where the lovelight gleams …

A pasture of dead trees. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams.

In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, she enters a contest with instafamous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, she might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on the application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only … there is no boyfriend.

Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just came home for some hot chocolate, and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process.

Lovelight Farms is a romantic comedy featuring a handsome, freckled data analyst, a messy, optimistic Christmas tree farm owner, and a small town with the best hazelnut lattes on the east coast. This sweet and steamy romance is a holiday happily ever after.

My Review

“I’m going to hold her hand when she needs it, tuck her close when she needs that too”

Why has it taken me so long to start the ‘Lovelight Farms’ series!? I am kicking myself now as the first book was just fab!

We head to Inglewild to a Christmas Tree Farm owned by Stella. She’s entered a competition to give the farm more PR and to win some money. However she’s added to the application form that she owns the farm with a boyfriend who doesn’t exist. Can Stella sort her dilemma?

Stella and Luka are best friends and of course he wants to help her. This is the perfect friends to lovers, fake dating story to put you in the holiday mood. Though I read it in March I still loved it! 🥰

B.K Borison’s narrative was so easy to follow, it allowed me to get completely and utterly lost in the story and I’m now a massive fan of her writing!

I can’t wait to read more of this series, especially since I’ve been gifted a copy of the fourth and final book which is published in July. So I just have to get up to speed by then 😍

I highly recommend you grab a copy of ‘Lovelight Farms’ and enjoy it for yourself 💚
