Blog Tour for Winter Wishes at Roseford Reloved by Fay Keenan

ABOUT THE BOOK

Winter Wishes at Roseford Reloved

When the ceiling of preloved clothing shop Roseford Reloved falls in at the height of Christmas season, owner Polly Parrott is in despair. She can see her fortunes draining away as quickly as the water is pouring through her roof. What makes it worse is that standing right underneath the deluge is Will Sutherland, sporting hero and new owner of Parson’s Grange, the new modern mansion in Roseford.

Polly and Will’s first meeting is about as far from a success as it can be, but over a festive season of Christmas markets, a Yuletide Ball and inconvenient snowfalls, can they forge a friendship or even more, despite their unpromising beginning? Or will the complications in both of their lives end their romance before it even begins?

MY THOUGHTS

I have read the rest of the books in the Roseford series, and they are a pure delight. I am familiar with these characters and it’s like a homecoming to read about them in the additional books in the series.

A pure escapist read, perfect for getting lost in for the afternoon with your cat and cup of tea at your side. Hoping and praying won’t prevent the ceiling from collapsing at Roseford Reloved a used clothing boutique owned by Polly Parrott. With finances low she is afraid she’ll be sued when the ceiling falls on the head of Will Sutherland. He is new in town and the owner of a fabulous mansion in town. Beyond humiliated, she is more than surprised when the upcoming festive holiday season finds them together in a friendly manner. He has two daughters with his ex-wife, and they add to the family dynamics. One accepts her and one not so much, at first. It’s always hard to accept a parent moving on to another relationship. A heartwarming story, I enjoyed the beautiful setting and read the book all in one sitting. The story is so charming, I look forward to being back in Roseford again. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Boldwood Blog Tour-Finding Love At Roseford Blooms by Fay Keenan

About The Book

Finding Love at Roseford Blooms

After a rough year, the last place Lizzie Warner wants to be is Roseford. It may be a picture-postcard country idyll, but for Lizzie it will always hold difficult memories from her past. But when the alternative to staying with her Aunt Bee, owner of Roseford Blooms, is moving back in with her controlling parents – well, the choice is easy.

Simon Treloar was born and raised to be the Lord of the Manor, but now he’s had to hand over his beloved Roseford Hall to a heritage charity, he begins to question his usefulness. Can he find a way to make his mark, or is it better to walk away from generations of history and strike out on his own?

When Lizzie and Simon meet, they recognise kindred spirits in each other. But with both questioning their futures, can one magical summer in Roseford help Lizzie and Simon move on from what is holding them back? Or is there too much history on both sides for them ever truly to be happy together?

My Thoughts

Once again back in scenic rural Roseford. I just love these books in the Roseford series. You feel like you’ve made some friends and they’ll have your back if problems arise over a cup of tea. Just put on the kettle.
Our main character Lizzie Warner has gone through a rough spot the past year or so. Not wanting to move back in with her parents, her father is very controlling she goes to see Aunt Bee who runs Roseford Blooms floral shop. Unfortunately on the way there she’s in an accident and breaks her collarbone. Now I’ve never broken a bone, but I can imagine a broken collarbone is especially painful. Her aunt welcomes her with open arms.
Simon Treloar was born and raised as lord of the manor but due to circumstances not of his making he’s had to hand it over to charity.
I enjoyed seeing how cautious Lizzie and Simon are around each other though they are attracted to each other. They can sense a bit of a wariness in the other and don’t want to move things too quickly. A slow burn romance that I so enjoyed watching it play out. Aunt Bee is a sweetheart, so kind and understanding but she won’t let anyone get the best of her. There also is a wedding taking place with one of the characters from the last book and Aunt Bee is so busy planning it. When financial accusation gets put into Lizzie’s head it causes trouble with the couple. Will they be able to overcome this?
Full of lighthearted characters and a fun plot I’m looking forward to the next book coming out by this author.

Winter Kisses at Roseford Café: A NEW escapist, romantic festive read from Fay Keenan 

Publish date 13 October 22 Boldwood Books Publisher

About The Book

The sleepy Somerset village of Roseford is the temporary home for the cast and crew of the latest Christmas movie, and there’s excitement in the air. When Lucy Cameron, the owner of Roseford Café, is asked to fulfil a last-minute catering order on set, she can’t believe her luck.

Lucy’s erstwhile teenage crush, Finn Sanderson, is the star of the film, alongside his glamorous co-star, Montana de Santo, with whom he has been linked on and off the screen, and their sprinkle of stardust around the village is intoxicating.

With Christmas approaching and the snow starting to fall, Lucy’s path keeps crossing with Finn’s, and she starts to get to know the man behind the movie star. As her feelings grow, so too do Lucy’s reservations about even considering becoming involved with someone so well-known. And when Lucy finds herself at the centre of a social media storm, her fears seem to be justified.

Are happy-ever-afters just the preserve of Christmas movies, or could Lucy and Finn star in their very own festive love story…

My Thoughts

Winter Kisses at Roseford Café is book 2 of 3 in the Roseford series.
I love this author’s writing; her rom coms are so much fun to read. A perfectly festive book for a relaxing escapist read day. Fans of happy endings and feel-good books will love it.
Lucy is a cafe owner and while on location actor Finn meets Lucy and a romance starts.
I enjoyed Lucy’s character she seemed friendly enough. Christmas wishes must come true as a catering order causes her to meet up with Finn. Amidists the sparkling falling snow and the falling temperatures things are heating up with Lucy and Finn as a once in a lifetime chance at a romance with her teen heartthrob. I also liked Finn’s character, he did seem sincere in wanting to date Lucy and not just pass his time while on set. There was a bit of angst in the book and I thought they may break up from it but it got squared away. The Rosewood Cafe sounds like a very lovely place to go, I do believe I’d enjoy it. Relaxing stories of romance, friendship, and family that you’re going to love!

About The Author

Hello!

Thanks for taking the time to look at one of my books, and welcome to my Somerset world. Please do come in, look around and feel free to take a seat. Inside the covers of my books, you’ll find stories of romance, friendship, and family, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Somerset. I really hope you’ll lose yourself among the rolling hills and quirky towns and villages of this gorgeous county, and find new friends who will share their lives and experiences with you. Good food, good company and a healthy smattering of passion can all be found within the pages of my novels – so be prepared to feel your heart thumping! While I write books that are linked by the places I write about, they work well as standalone novels as well as part of a series. You might find that a few familiar faces pop up across the stories, though, so keep your eyes peeled…

Thank you so much for looking – I hope you’re tempted to come and spend some time in the West Country!

Lots of love, Fay xx

Hello and welcome to my author page!

I’m so delighted to share my stories with you, which are all set in the beautiful county of Somerset, in the UK, where I’m lucky enough to live. I’ve written two trilogies of novels so far, all of which have heart-thumpingly romantic settings (some based in reality!) and characters you just want to see gain their happily ever after! My third series of novels is about to start, with the release of ‘New Beginnings At Roseford Hall’, releasing on 10th March 2022, so if you want to join me in the beautiful village of Roseford, please do preorder the first book now!

I’ve been working with Boldwood Books to bring you feelgood stories of romance and family life, set against the stunning backdrop of the Somerset countryside. When I’m not writing fiction, I’m a secondary school English teacher, a wife, a mother of two daughters and the keeper of a large, demanding Weimaraner dog called Bertie. I can often be found on the Strawberry Line, being dragged from pillar to post by either dog or children, and I’m only now coming to terms with the fact that some of my students, current and former, occasionally read my novels.

I’m proud to be a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association. If you’d like to keep up to date with my writing and find out a little more about me (or my dog!), please subscribe to my newsletter here: http://bit.ly/FayKeenanNewsletter

Thank you for stopping in. I hope your weekend is going great.
