Christmas at the Second Chance Chocolate Shop by Kellie Hailes


Dear Reader,


First I would like thank both Netgalley and HQ Digital for allowing me a copy to review in exchange for an honest review.

Kellie Hailes bring us back to Rabbit’s Leap in the third instalment of the series and how good it is to be back. Now do not worry if you have not read the previous two books in the series, Christmas at the Second Chance Chocolate Shop, can be read as a stand-alone. It is the first time that we meet both Serena and Ritchie properly.

Serena arrives back home and she is about to open up a chocolate shop in the town. She has just left her husband Ritchie who is a rock-star and very famous but she just left him leaving a note explaining this. She wants this time for herself and to find out who she really is and to see if she can make a go of this new business. So she was not expecting him to turn up and in Rabbit’s Leap of all places and of course just before the grand opening of her shop. Ritchie is desperately trying to win Serena back but it is not going to be easy. We also learn of some secrets that he has kept hidden even from Serena about his past and years later still effects his relationships.

Plenty of drama follows between the two of them and there are some lovely romantic moments between them. Also we have the relationship between Serena and her mother which is a bit fraught on her return home and they work on this.

This is a lovely read and plenty of comical moments. It is a must to read this Christmas!

Enjoy!

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

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. MY REVIEW: This story is set post World War Two, Eleanor and a young boy Freddy find a man in a foot of snow - clearly in an agitated state. 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
