What an absolute hoot! I’m sold on any character who, when you first meet them is talking to their dog. Merwyn is the perfect companion who empathises with Ivy at the same time prepared to offer an eye-roll when needed.  Some of the subplots of infidelity, redundancy, a horde of children *shivers* and the demands of social media would normally be hard hitters in a romance book, but the humour of Jane Linfoot’s storytelling makes them a lighter read. Bill/Will or Will/Bill is a perfect grouch with a hidden past that Ivy uncovers, but from the start, it’s easy to see he has a soft centre, Merwyn can vouch for that.  With the arrival of various family and friends, the quirks of an old castle bring them together and enjoy the holidays without their phones in front of their faces, take time to look out for each other and discover that they aren’t as superficial as they might seem. As always, my thanks to #Netgalley and publisher #OneMoreChapter for giving me th...

The fifth book in Jayne Rylon's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powertools: Hot RIdes series has to be one of my favorites. I finally got to find out about Rivet's story, have been left intrigued after the showdown at the diner. To start, she might be an unlikely heroine, but the is something about her that calls to me, She's scrappy, a fighter with a bruised soul. But now she is given a chance to get both revenge and the key to her happiness in Levi and Ransom.  One of the things I like about Jayne's series is that even though they are a shorter read there is so much depth to both her characters and the plot, these to things are key to me wanting more.  My thanks to the author for allowing me to review her work, but also for all the great stories she has written.

My annual Christmas read from Sarah Morgan and I'm not disappointed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah Morgan's latest festive release is a little different, told from multiple points of view and as the author notes, so many twists, and turns. Yes, it's different, but the story is told so well that you will be enraptured until the end. Strong characters, intriguing plots, and majestic scenery. Definitely worth taking the day off of work to read. My thanks, as always to #HarperCollins and #Netgalley and Sarah, herself, for giving me the opportunity to review #AWeddingInDecember.
