A Cosy Cottage Escape Blog Tour-Little Duck Pond Cafe

ABOUT THE BOOK

A Cosy Cottage Escape, Little Duck Pond Café

Autumn is here and the Little Duck Pond Café crew are looking forward to spending a relaxing week in the country. That’s the theory, anyway. Because when they arrive, they quickly become immersed in village life after a power cut, only to find themselves spooked at every turn by mysterious goings-on, all of which seem to be connected to the creepy old house next-door. Is someone playing scary Hallowe’en tricks on them? Or is there something rather more sinister afoot…?

MY THOUGHTS

I am a big fan of Rosie Green’s Little Duck Pond Cafe series.

Each book is a novella length, so you don’t get bogged down with too much reading, but you get a full story in each book that isn’t lacking anything. I enjoy returning to the same characters and after reading quite a few in this series I feel as though the characters are friends to visit and put the kettle on for.

Getting away for a week should leave you relaxed and with no worries except for maybe what types of tasty foods you’ll choose to eat. The Little Duck Pond Cafe crew is on a relaxing getaway in the village.

The weather is cooler, the leaves have turned and it’s close to Halloween. A power outage is unfortunately a pretty common thing in the rural village and just their luck, they’ve encountered one. But hey, life happens and trying to make the best of it they carry on.

When rumors of hauntings associated with the house next door reach their ears and then other strange things start going bump in the night they wonder, are these Halloween pranks or something to become actually concerned about.

There is a mystery to solve and a few dramatic moments with the friends. I’d say my favorite part of the book takes place almost at the very end, a very unexpected and wonderful ending. I am looking forward to more in this series and can’t wait to see what the friends are up to next.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Sunset on the Square: Escape on a Spanish holiday with this heartwarming love story (Island Romance Book 3)

250 pages February 25, 2021 publish date Canelo Romance publisher grab a copy here

Tropical beach vector illustration background

ABOUT THE BOOK

She never thought she’d love again…

In her late 50s and having lived in Tenerife for over 15 years, there’s not much on the island that can surprise widowed Elspeth. Until her hotelier friend asks her to put up a guest after they’ve overbooked – and handsome Charles is suddenly staying in very close quarters.

Long buried emotions are coming back to life.

Devastated by the death of her husband four years ago, Elspeth isn’t open to new romance. Yet something about Charles pulls her in, and they grow closer together. But Charles’ holiday is drawing to a close, and Elspeth needs to decide what she really wants – and how to get it.

The perfect holiday romance for fans of Holly Martin, Sue Moorcroft and Mandy Baggot.

MY THOUGHTS

I enjoy reading Lilac Mills books. They have a minimal amount of drama and always have a hea.


The descriptions of the little town of Santiago del Teide sound so refreshing. April would be the perfect month to visit with the sun coming up over the inactive volcano, light rain and year-round greenery giving way to an abundance of flowers.


Elspeth Evans is a middle-aged woman, widowed four years. She misses her husband so much. They were everything to each other and it’s still hard to believe he’s gone.


She occasionally rents a few rooms to make ends meet. She meets Charles Brown; her first male to rent a room since her husband has passed and does it ever feel strange to have another male in her home that’s not her husband. After he arrives he seems like a nice, presentable and polite gent. As they talk and get to know each other she recommends things to do, like hiking on the beautiful trails.

A misunderstanding gets her going along as a tour guide and they have a genuinely good and fun time and conversation. Though she’s not ready to meet and mingle she has started noticing how good looking he is and enjoying his company. He’s a divorced father of 2 grown daughters.

They breakfast together and genuinely enjoy each other’s company. When it’s time for him to leave will this friendship be swept away in the tides or will the island and her have a magnetic pull on him making him return?

The author writes a fun and realistic book from the heart. Family relationships are important, and the characters draw you in to care about them.

Christmas at Fox Farm: A heartwarming and uplifting Christmas romance 

372 pages September 29,2021 publish date Bookouture publisher

ABOUT THE BOOK

Daisy is preparing to spend her first Christmas in the only place she’s ever really felt at home: beautiful Fox Farm. But when tragedy strikes, she will need all her festive cheer, and all the mulled wine, to keep Christmas from being cancelled…

Living atFox Farm, with its cosy café and charming pottery workshop, is a dream come true for thirty-one-year-old Daisy. The kindly owner, Jean, and the close-knit village feel like the family Daisy has never had. She’s been looking forward to finally having people to buy gifts for and to share cookies with in front of the fire after too much Christmas dinner.

When Jean suddenly falls ill, Daisy is the first to lend a hand in organising the holiday celebrations. She ropes in Alex – Jean’s handsome Scrooge of a nephew – to help her. From the get-go Daisy and Alex cannot agree on anything, butting heads through decorating disasters and tripping over each other at the holiday barn dance. Alex hates Christmas, and Daisy is feeling so festive she might as well be the fairy on top of the ten-foot tree. Can Daisy melt Alex’s icy exterior and prove to him just how magical Christmas can be?

But then Alex discovers Fox Farm is almost bankrupt, and suddenly its whole future is in jeopardy. They need a plan, and quickly, if Jean is to have a place to come back to this Christmas. Will Daisy be able to save the only real home she’s ever had? And might this Christmas be the beginning of something special?

Grab a mug of hot chocolate and a mince pie (or two!) and lose yourself in this utterly charming and romantic holiday tale that proves home is where the heart is. Perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne, Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain, this is the book that will make your Christmas!

MY THOUGHTS

Fox Farm is home away from home for Alex. He’s spent many summer vacations there and he developed his love of the outdoors and gardening there. Now that’s he’s older and has taken on more responsibility, he’s opened up his own gardening shop.


When resident artist Daisy finds his aunt after she’s had a stroke, he just feels overwhelmed. How will he manage the running of Fox Farm this holiday season, his own gardening center and spend time with his aunt in the hospital?


The descriptions of the frost on the grass, the beautiful decorations and oh that Christmas tree reeled me right in. It’s all festively decorated, but getting there was a real team effort.

The whole village gathers to decorate and there was witty and fun banter as Alex and Daisy decorate, attend a holiday dance and grow closer. She’s easy to talk to and he could really use a helping hand.

Daisy is just what Alex needs to keep Fox Farm running this holiday season. I was pulled right in with this charming and feel-good story. Festive and bright a delightful holiday story.

Catch Me If You Candy: (A Bakeshop Mystery, 17)

352 pages Pub Date 22 Aug 2023 St. Martin’s Press publisher

Easy Halloween cupcakes

ABOUT THE BOOK

Things are getting spooky in Catch Me If You Candy, the next delicious installment in the Bakeshop Series from author Ellie Alexander, set in Ashland, Oregon!

Halloween has arrived in picturesque Ashland, Oregon, and all of the ghouls and goblins have descended on Main Street for the annual parade. It’s a giant street party and Torte is right in the mix.

Jules Capshaw and her team have been baking up autumn delights and trick-or-Torte bags filled with sugar cookie cutouts, spiced cider, and mummy munch. It’s the end of the season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which means that the costumes for the parade are going to be out of this world. The elaborate guises even extend to pets. The grand marshal of this year’s parade is no other than a regal pug aptly named King George. Jules is delighted to get to share the experience with Carlos and Ramiro, but things take a dark turn when she discovers a dragon slumped in front of the bakeshop.

Jules is distraught when she realizes the dragon is dead. She’s also shaken because a few days before the parade, her mother’s Mahjong partner Helen discovered a warning note about a dragon in an antique game set. Jules hopes it’s just a random coincidence, but as the clues begin to unfold it becomes evident that there’s been a murder on All Hallow’s Eve. Can Juliet sift out the truth before the killer comes after her?

MY THOUGHTS

Catch me if You Candy is the seventeenth book in the Bakeshop mystery series. I haven’t read all of them but have read quite a few.

Ashland, Oregon is the home of Torte, the bakeshop owned by Jules Capshaw. She and her bakers are busy firing up the ovens almost around the clock with all the Halloween treats everyone wants. Taking a break to run some goodies to her mother’s weekly mahjong party an ominous note is found in the ancient board game set bought at a thrift store.


As the end of the Shakespearean season settles upon Ashland, the town gathers around a Halloween parade costumed adults and children alike enjoy attending.
When a slumped over dragon, the same one talked about in the mahjong game note is found dead in front of her bakeshop, Jules is devastated.


With clues piling up faster than the Halloween candy the trick or treaters are clutching in their grubby hands, who can you trust? Is anyone telling the truth or will this one be all tricks and no treats?


Cleverly written with a great plot and lots of descriptive Autumn cheer this is the perfect book to settle in with on a cold Fall night with your hot cup of coffee or tea.

 Blog Tour for The Last Train from Paris by Juliet Greenwood

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Last Train from Paris

For Iris, each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past.

Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany.

When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool.

Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. But, as she peels back each layer of history before her, a sensation of dread grows inside her. The past is calling, and its secrets are more intricate and tangled than Iris could ever have imagined.

The year is 1939, and in Paris, France a young woman is about to commit a terrible betrayal… 

A beautifully written and addictively compelling historical novel about the terrible choices ordinary people were forced to make in the horrors of World War Two. If you loved The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Nightingale, you will devour this book.

What readers are saying about Juliet Greenwood:

“This was fantastic! Perfect for a Kate Morton or Lucinda Riley hangover, this book will draw you in and won’t let go until you’ve read the last page. This book was unputdownable – fascinating characters, excellent writing, and a plot that keeps you turning the pages. I loved every second of it.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I found myself reading chapter after chapter, unable to put it down. A first-time read by this author but certainly not the last.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“For readers of Kate Morton and Lucinda Riley, this book will be one of your favorites… A historical novel that will keep you reading until the end.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“An absolutely brilliant read. I could not put it down…I loved how the war changed everyone and it was a gripping story… I really loved it. Cannot recommend it enough.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Did everything that I was looking for… it left me wanting to read more from Juliet Greenwood.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

MY THOUGHTS

After taking a break from the heavy reading of historical fiction I’ve found myself back in the thick of things, reading it again. I was utterly unable to put this down once I started it reading it in a little over a day.

This has all I’m looking for in a book and the story took my breath away. An engrossing time-slip novel I was pulled into the war and the effects it has on everyone long after it is over.

While the men are bravely off fighting the war it’s the women who have the bravery on the home front even making selfless sacrifices just to keep their children safe. I love the author’s books; they are realistic and relatable.

Gripping! As the book progresses the mystery unfolds with surprising twists and turns. All the characters are great but the women with their strength and resilience are the stars. This is one that will be remembered.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Blog Tour for Christmas Memories at Waterside Cottage by K.T.Dady

ABOUT THE BOOK

Christmas Memories at Waterside Cottage

Welcome to Pepper Bay, where you’ll find love, drama, and a happily ever after.

Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Alison Sherlock, Rachael Lucas, and Holly Martin.

The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories that intertwine with recurring characters. Best enjoyed when read in order.

Christmas Memories at Waterside Cottage: Charlie and Grace have been together for four years, but when Grace wakes up in hospital after an accident, she doesn’t remember her husband at all. With Christmas just around the corner, and it being their favourite time of year, Charlie pulls out all the festive stops, hoping his wife will remember their relationship or at least fall in love with him all over again, because there is no way he can lose her.

MY THOUGHTS

I have read several books in the Pepper Bay series. They are not long books but believe me, you get a full story. The books are heartwarming and realistic with a little drama and a few things to work through in life.


No one’s idea of fun would be to wake up in a hospital with some of their memory gone, but this is exactly what happens to our main female character. Family is everything in this book. I love seeing the family comradery. She has several sisters and parents giving her support.

Now I just loved her husband’s character. He is incredibly supportive. She doesn’t remember being married to him and I wasn’t sure until very close to the end if she would want to stay with him as memories resurfaced, if she would fall in love with him anew or she wouldn’t feel comfortable staying with him.
I could understand if he would become frustrated or mad at her for her lack of memory but he’s so gentle and understanding, not rushing her and her feelings.


I loved the compassion shown to the donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary. Animals make a story better and bring out the compassion in people.
This Christmas book is fun and festive and will put you in the holiday mood with its snowmen, holiday drinks and family time spent at a Christmas tree farm.


Warm and beautifully written I will now be catching up on the rest of the series.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

Getaway With Murder: The Mountain Lodge Mysteries

296 pages October 26, 2021publish date St. Martins Paperbacks

ABOUT THE BOOK

Getaway With Murder is the first in a cozy series from Diane Kelly set in a lodge in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where secrets hide behind every hill.

As if hitting the half-century mark wasn’t enough, Misty Murphy celebrated her landmark birthday by amicably ending her marriage and investing her settlement in a dilapidated mountain lodge at the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With the old inn teetering on both a bluff and bankruptcy, she must have lost her ever-loving mind.

Luckily, handyman Rocky Crowder has a knack for rehabbing virtual ruins and for doing it on a dime, and to Misty’s delight, the lodge is fully booked on opening night, every room filled with flexible folks who’d slipped into spandex and ascended the peak for a yoga retreat with plans to namastay for a full week. Misty and her guests are feeling zen—at least until the yoga instructor is found dead.

With a killer on the loose and the lodge’s reputation hanging in the balance, Misty must put her detective-skills to the test. Only one thing is as clear as a sunny mountain morning—she must solve the crime before the lodge ends up, once again, on the brink.

Blue Ridge Mountains North Carolina credit

MY THOUGHTS

After having just read A Trip with Trouble, the second book in the Mountain Lodge mystery series I was more than ready to read this one, the first in the series. Who says you have to read a series in order, right?

We once again find ourselves in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with middle aged Misty Murphy. She’s finally doing something for herself, she’s ended her marriage and bought a rundown lodge that’s slowly being repaired.

Excited that her first big group has come to stay at the lodge she’s doing all she can to make them comfy during their stay including having scrumptious meals brought in from the restaurant next door. The group staying is here for a whole week of relaxation on a yoga retreat. Sun salutations are part of their yoga and meditation but when the leader is unable to be found one bright and sunny morning to lead the class the others start to worry. When she is later found dead at the lodge, speculation starts to run rampant with no Zen moments here.

Could one of the yoga students have gotten tired of her bossy and stuck on herself behavior enough to kill her or was it a random outsider? As the clues start to collect, we see Misty working hard to get this solved along with the police, so her lodge won’t get a bad reputation.

What a great plot this is. I loved the characters and the setting. I am now on my way to read the last book in this series.

Blog Tour-Chasing Dreams at Wagging Tails’ Dogs Home

ABOUT THE BOOK

Chasing Dreams At Wagging Tails Dog’s Home

After a difficult break-up, Poppy is keen to put the past behind her and what’s better than some relaxing time with her aunt in the picturesque Cornish village of West Par.

But life at her aunt Flora’s Dogs’ Home is anything but relaxing. When a poor little pup is stranded at the gates, Poppy takes them for a check up at the local vet, hoping against hope they’ll be fine.

And there she meets Mack: the vet who is so charming and experienced with the dogs, but selfish and – dare she say it – money-grabbing with his clients.

But underneath that cold exterior, she’s sure there’s more to the story. If only she could convince him to open up. Because without him, the future of Wagging Tails isn’t so assured…

MY THOUGHTS

After a bad breakup leaves Poppy wishing it was more on than off, she knows just the thing to do. She’ll help her aunt at the Wagging Tails Dogs Home her aunt runs and funds herself with very little financial outside help.

has been there before multiple times helping her aunt at her pet rescue but not recently. The Cornish village of West Par should be the perfect relaxation spot with the dogs and her aunt for Poppy, but it’s not.

When a new vet comes to the practice her aunt has used for many years and won’t give her the same discounts the old vet had it causes problems. When you’re running a dog rescue you need breaks, and lot of breaks. No one can do it on their own.

I really loved Poppy’s aunts’ character, she has a heart of gold for animals and people alike. She tries to hide her financial problems from Poppy but a new pup, one abandoned at the pet rescue needs multiple surgeries and care.

When her sweet aunt has an accident Poppy finds out how bad they are financially and becomes angry with the vet blaming him for not compromising with vet care and discounts. We see Poppy having a bit of a difficult time getting over her ex-boyfriend and carrying baggage. The vet is also hiding a secret that he is ashamed to have known. Very few people know his background and why he can’t offer discounts for pet service even though his veterinarian office is now thriving.

Will Poppy and the vet come to an agreement with vet service?


I absolutely loved this book and the series. So many charming elements in here. The characters are realistic and likable. The plot is well throughout out and I could picture what was happening in the book as I read it.

This book is a warm hug wrapped around me as I read.
