The Little Wedding Shop by the Sea by Jane Linfoot

Front CoverDear Reader,

First off the cover has to get a mention - it is absolutely gorgeous. It is bold, colorful and very eye-catching.

In 'Cupcakes and Confetti - The Little Wedding Shop by the Sea' we meet a great cast of characters in particular, Poppy, who has moved from London to Cornwall. Poppy loves baking cakes, especially wedding cakes and has managed to turn freelance while living overhead the 'Brides by the Sea' wedding shop. Poppy knows a thing or two about weddings so when her best friend, Cate, unexpectedly loses her wedding planner, Poppy is the one to save the day by becoming a manager/wedding planner at the venue Daisy Hill Farm. The previous wedding planner has made such a mess of everything it is left to Poppy to get everything into order. Before she knows it she is up to her tonsils with double-booked weddings, bridezillas, not to mention the very moody (and very handsome) farm owner Rafe who is not one bit happy with the wedding business so it is down to Poppy to get if off the ground so-to-speak with plenty of drama and antics thrown in for good measure.

Cupcakes and Confetti - The Little Wedding Shop by the Sea is such a delightful book. I have had the pleasure of reading several of Jane Linfoot's books so far and they never disappoint. This is my favorite yet and it is definitely one of her best which has all the most important ingredients for a romantic novel.

I cannot wait to go and return to Cornwall to rejoin this cast of characters in the second installment in the series - Christmas at the Little Wedding Shop where we follow Sera.

Jane, thank you again for such an enjoyable read that I did not want to end!

It Started at Sunset Cottage by Bella Osborne

Hello all, BOOK DESCRIPTION: Kate Marshall is slowly getting her life back on track after losing her fiancé. As an author she has been able to hide herself away from the world and its expectations – but now one of her books has been optioned for a film and Hollywood suddenly comes knocking on her door! When Kate is given the opportunity to stay at a beautiful country retreat and concentrate on the screenplay, it’s an offer she can’t refuse. Encouraged by her best friend, sharp-tongued single mum Sarah, Kate sees it’s finally time to stop letting life pass her by. Looking for confidence and inspiration in the idyllic Cotswolds countryside, the last thing Kate expects is for Timothy Calder, A-list actor and leading man in the movie adaptation of her book, to turn up on her doorstep, hoping to lie low after his latest tabloid scandal! But after a rocky start, with Tim narrowly avoiding death by watering can, they find they have a few things in common: a liking for Lady Grey tea, w

In The Shadow Of Winter by Lorna Gray

Dear Reader, BOOK DESCRIPTION: The Cotswolds, 1947 The relentless winter of 1947 holds post-war Britain in its deadly grip, and Eleanor Phillips rides out from her beleaguered Cotswold farm to rescue a stranger lost in the storm. But the near-dead man is no stranger and when she recognises Matthew Croft, the old ties of a failed romance tug deeply. Her sweetheart has returned from the war… Suspicion, the police and the panicked flight of a desperate man beat a path to her door. And with a wanted man hidden in her home and stealing back into her heart, Eleanor must be on her guard—for the net is closing in on them both and enemies are all around.

Seeing him in a troubled state, they decide to bring him home. When he starts to fight them Eleanor gets such a shock when she realises that it is Mathew Croft, a man she knew before the war. They

Covent Garden in the Snow by Jules Wake

    First, I would like to thank both Netgalley and Harper Impulse for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review . I was delighted to read the latest from Jules Wake as I really enjoyed ‘From Paris with Love’ and even better Covent Garden in the Snow is based around Christmas and is now my new favourite! Here we meet Tilly Hunter who works at the London Metropolitan Opera Company in the make-up department. Tilly loves working here and is really passionate about her work. The only thing she hates is using the computer which she tends to avoid and a prime example is when she sends a personal email which ends up being sent to the entire company and to make matters worse she opens an attachment and downloads a virus. Conveniently the LMOC have just hired Marcus, the new IT Director and poor Tilly is forced against her will to take lessons to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.     So once the lessons begin both Tilly and Marcus do not get
