Home for Christmas - Heidi Swain



About the book… 

Bella is living her best life in Wynbridge, with her beloved Spaniel, Tink. She’s found a way to keep the house she inherited from her grandparents while expanding her dream business – Away With the Fairies – and she’s ecstatic that Christmas is on the horizon!

In fact, everything is perfect until family friend, Catherine Connelly asks Bella if she’d be willing to rent part of the house to freelance author, Jude who is researching the history of the Connelly Clan and Wynthorpe Hall ahead of turning his findings into a book. The plan had been for Jude to stay at the hall, but he can’t cope with the chaos and Bella reluctantly agrees to open her door to him.

Initially, the pair clash but then friendlier feelings begin to grow and Bella finds herself wondering if Jude could become more than just another guest before it’s time for him to leave. That is, until he announces he has no time for Christmas!

With her favourite time of the year suddenly in jeopardy, will Bella ever feel like she’s home for Christmas?

My thoughts…

There is nothing more perfect than a Heidi Swain Christmas novel. Home for Christmas was exactly what it said on the cover - I felt right at home, back in Wynbridge, back with familiar characters and once again itching to be part of this perfect community.

The focal character in Home for Christmas is Bella, Bella lives in the house she inherited from her grand-parents, renting the main part of it out for nine months of the year whilst she nestles herself and her business “Away with the Fairies” up into the small upstairs apartment.

I can’t tell you what a delight this book was, Bella and her fairies and her love of all things Christmas warmed my heart from the inside out.  As ever not everything in the village and Bella’s life is rosy and runs quite to plan. As a reader sitting on the periphery whilst Bella handled the unexpected, last minute house guest who threatens to de-rail both her business and Christmas was blood pressure inducing at times and as you’d expect gooey and mushy at others!

Jude was rude, abrupt and the grinch incarnated.  He is the polar opposite to Bella. Whilst she is the full on, bright, sparkly all singing, all dancing kind of Christmas girl that doesn’t understand the phrase ‘too much’, Jude is the opposite, Christmas - whatever is that, it’s not to be embraced in any way, shape or form. He successfully manages to de-rail Bella’s life in an unexpected way.  Thankfully Holly is surrounded by her close friends Holly, Bear and Jeanie as well as the Connolly clan from Wynthorpe Hall who all manage to support, interfere and guide her as she navigates her unexpected encounter with Jude, her pre-Xmas stalls and events making and selling her unique, individual fairies. I soooooooo want one!!

As with every single one of Heidi’s novels the characters stray from one story to another with the layers of their characters stripped back with each, revealing a bit more with every book.  It was an absolute delight to be back amongst the locals, sharing drinks in the pub, tea in the cafe and lunch in the kitchen of Wynthrop Hall.  Have I said before I want to move here - I want to be part of this fabulous community - I already feel I know so much about them all I know I’ll fit right in.

As ever this was the perfect tonic, There is the right balance of angst, love and romance. I loved every single page and was gutted when I turned the last one - Heidi Swain, once again you have brought sunshine and smiles to a very grey day and even got me starting my Christmas shopping! You know how to bring a smile to my face and I’m now wondering if October is too soon to put up the Christmas lights!

About the book…

But Delph’s protective bubble bursts when Roche moves in with her estranged nan, Moon. Feeling on the outside of the bond between her fierce-yet-flaky tarot-reading mother and volatile martial-arts-champion daughter, Delph begins questioning her own freedom. And when Roche’s snooping into her grandmother’s past unearths a familial line of downtrodden women; a worrying pattern emerges. Has keeping small and safe truly been Delph’s choice all these years.

My thoughts…

In Bloom is a moving tribute to women across the generations.  It is told from the perspectives of three generations of women from the same family - grandmother Moon, daughter Delph and grand-daughter Roche. Three seemingly very different women on the face of it with us the reader getting a fly on the wall insight into their lives as the chapters slip back and forth between the present and the past when Moon was a young girl, before Delph was born - but each more alike than any of them realise.

As the layers were stripped back it was as clear as day that the three women had more in common than they cared to see themselves and as their tales were told I genuinely felt my emotions swaying back and forth, with every emotion the polar opposite heartbreak, sadness, pain, joy, happiness and delight. In Bloom is the perfect title as this story traverses much hurt, pain and many, many secrets that we as a reader are told throughout from each of the three narratives.

Eva Verde has definitely perfected the art of giving an insight into the lives of each of the three women through her carefully chosen words, saying just enough to paint a vivid outline of a picture leaving the reader to join the dots and finish painting the picture themselves, leaving much to the readers imagination, images of each of them, their environments and emotions are firmly imprinted on my mind, the images going through multiple iterations throughout the story - from dull, washed out greys and pastels right through to the most vibrant colours giving relevance to the most perfect title of In Bloom.

Delph moving into her nan Moon’s home seemed reasonable, she wasn’t happy living at home at home with her mum and where else would you go but to your grand-mother’s.  Moon however, isn’t your typical grandmother she exists in a house, she does not live in a home. She’s eclectic and very different and is keeping her past and secrets, buried beneath the very fabric of the clutter and dirt she lives in. Roche is inquisitive and before she knows it uncovers family secrets that Moon has tried hard to bury - as a reader I swung backwards and forwards in my thoughts silently giving advice to all three of them, often wondering how they could ever be related.  Each of them so very alike stubborn, strong, determined with a fierce loyalty and love for each other - they just didn’t voice it.  Such is the complicated and painful past - that when it’s uncovered causes more hurt and anguish than any of them realise before eventually their strength and fierce loyalty to each other shine through.  

This is a story that I could see several different endings and my emotions were shaken throughout. I just loved this book so much and as a reader felt privileged to travel with them on their separate journeys to the same destination.

Joe Nuthin’s Guide to Life - Helen Fisher



About the book… 

Joe loves predictability. But his life is about to become a surprising adventure.

Joe-Nathan likes the two parts of his name separate, just like his dinner and dessert. Mean Charlie at work sometimes calls him Joe-Nuthin. But Joe is far from nothing. Joe is a good friend, he’s good at his job, good at making things and good at following the rules, and he’s learning how to do lots of things by himself.

Joe’s mother knows there are a million things in life he isn’t prepared for. While she helps guide him every day, she’s also writing notebooks full of advice about the things she hasn’t told Joe yet, things he might forget and answers to questions he hasn’t yet asked.

Following her wisdom – applying it in his own unique way – this next part of Joe’s life is more of a surprise than he expects. Because he’s about to learn that remarkable things can happen when you leave your comfort zone, and that you can do even the hardest things with a little help from your friends.

My thoughts…

Where do I even begin  - Joe-Nathan is an absolute dream of a character.  From the very first moment I heard about this book I wanted to read it and when I did I was left with a glowing heart and a smile on my face.  Joe is everything we all should aspire to be - innocent, determined and resolute.  He has a strength of character that breaks your heart when other s don’t see it.

This is a book that will stay with me forever and I will read again and again - in a world where there are so many choices of books to read and not enough hours to read them it’s not often you find that book - the book that will stand the test of time and will touch your heart with every read.

Joe-Nuthin is a character that melted my heart.  He made me laugh, he made me cry - he brought out the lioness in me - he’s just perfect - straight talking, literal and direct and he definitely does not have a mean bone in his body.

It’s not just Joe though that makes this book, Joe is the beating heart that keeps you reading, but its his interactions with everyone and the growth of each and every character that makes this book extra special, as they each view their lives through Joe’s eyes and learn a little bit of acceptance and of the unexpected friendships that grow and develop as a result.

This is a book that I’ve already recommended to so many of my friends and our book group - we all need a little bit of Joe in our lives, he definitely makes the world a better place.

The Holiday Escape - Heidi Swain



About the book… 

Her dream holiday is his everyday life. His dream holiday is her normal life. What happens when they collide?

Ally and her dad, Geoff, run the family business, a creative retreat, from their home Hollyhock Cottage in picturesque Kittiwake Cove. They give their guests their dream break, but Ally hankers after glamourous city living, fancy restaurants and art galleries.

Ally’s survival strategy is to escape out of season, take a break abroad and pretend to be the person she always imagined she would be. She meets Logan while she’s away and he turns out to be exactly the kind of distraction she’s looking for.

With her spirits restored, Ally returns home, picks up the reins again and sets her sights on another successful season, but when Logan unexpectedly arrives on the scene, she soon realises she’s in for a summer that’s going to be far from straightforward…

A story about bringing a holiday home – and what happens when what goes on on holiday comes back to bite you…

My thoughts…

My goodness, what an absolute delight The Holiday Escape was - I loved everything about it.  
From the moment I clapped eyes on the most vibrant of covers to the characters, storyline and settings, I knew I was going to love this book.  This was just what the doctor ordered, the tonic I needed to lift me up and escape the drab, grey autumn and winter that had carried on into spring.

Our lead character Ally has two personas, the one where she and her dad run a creative retreat in Kittiwake Cove, Dorset. Both of them working hard, hosting all manner of people who enrol in the many creative craft classes held by the artists in residence for that season.  Ally bends herself out of shape, going above and beyond to ensure they have the very best of times, her attention to detail ensures that they all leave, missing the place before they get to the end of the drive - all desperate to return.  When the season closes for winter Ally works hard to put in place the many improvements that have come to mind during the year to ensure the following season is even better before switching guises and heading off on holiday where she presents herself entirely differently, reinventing herself and her life that, taking on a persona that is as far from her reality as possible.

I loved that Heidi took us all on a journey with Ally as she had to face reality when coming face to face with her Spanish fling Logan.  What goes on tour, is supposed to stay on tour, I can only imagine the anguish Ally felt when her two worlds collide.  The turmoil and anguish was palpable and probably inevitable - lies and half truths tend to come back to haunt.

I loved Ally’s relationship with her dad and the retreat she ran with him, but we find out early on that Ally is putting on a facade - truly believing her heart and life is meant to be elsewhere - guilt and a sense of duty keeping her in Dorset instead of Spain where her heart and passion is truly ignited.  Not wanting to tell her dad, she puts her heart and soul into making it the best place, thinking that will make it easier for her to leave and live out her dreams abroad.

However, life has a way of working itself out.  The Holiday Escape does what it says on the tin, it was an escape and haven for its many visitors and resident artists to Hollyhock Cottage, each reluctant to leave when their break was over.  There was a multitude of secrets, gentle slow burning love, friendship and a real sense of community.  It was difficult for me to see why Ally wanted to escape from it and was delighted to be a fly on the wall as both she, her dad, best friend Flora, and foul mouthed Kasuku the resident parrot navigate a season like no other - somehow life has a way of working itself out and it was a joyful ride to be on as a reader.

Throughout I quietly cheer leaded in the corner, for Ally to see what was in front of her and to take off the emotional blinkers, sometimes we don’t realise we have everything we want and need, the grass is not always greener on the other side. I would love to move to Kittiwake Cove, I even contemplated finding some sort of crafty retreat then I remembered I’m the least crafty person I know - I’ll just come for the friendship, wine and good food - straight from Geoff’s cottage garden

As ever this was the perfect tonic, I loved every single page and was gutted when I turned the last page - Heidi Swain, once again you have brought sunshine and smiles to what is at the moment a very monochrome world - roll on blue skies and summer.

My thoughts…

This is Kim Nash’s third book in the idyllic Cornish cove series. This is a community so lush you hanker after upping sticks and moving there. How lovely was it to be back in this beautiful community with all the fabulous characters from books 1 and 2 - I so want to move here!

Lydia and her daughter Meredith are the key characters in Making Memories at the Cornish Cove. Lydia having moved to Driftwood Bay to be closer to her daughter Meredith, who we met in book 1 when she arrived with a bang as the new owner of a run down lighthouse.

I was instantly dragged into their relationship, which was tentative and built on uneven footings to say the least. Lydia having left the upbringing of Meredith to her mother, Merediths grandmother, whilst she moved away, living her life from a distance, and getting through husbands at a rate of knots - five in total- that was some going!

Surprisingly, considering the character that Lydia was in the life before we meet her in Driftwood Bay, I really liked her from the off.  Having reached her 70’s and determined to right past wrongs and make it up to Meredith, we the reader walk the tentative path with her as she gets to know the absolutely gorgeous character that Meredith is. They respectfully danced around each other as they got to know the things about each other, the things that others take for granted having learnt them over a lifetime.

As with books 1 and 2, book 3 is all about friendship, kindness and a community that comes together to hold each other up when needed. The supporting cast of characters in this story are just as delightful. In this story Kim Nash touched a few raw nerves for me, I could have been reading about myself when reading about the things Meredith was feeling and suffering with on her own, I’m sure there other women of a certain age out there who will have felt the same. Both Clem and her mum proving to be the rock she needed, supporting her and being there at just the right time, whilst keeping a respectful distance too.

The pages of this delightful story are filled with sadness and heartache but as ever peppered with humour and kindness, as well as what you always find in a Kim Nash book, a hearty helping of truth and reality. I absolutely loved it. I particularly loved the friendship that grew between Martin, Clems widowed dad and Lydia as they become tentative dance partners after entering a competition. It really was an uplifting read.

I have loved all of Kim’s books but this one is definitely her best yet. I said that last time when I read book 2 but this one really is the best yet!!!! This was a truly, touching story that spanned the ages and was a joy to read. Through Meredith and Lydia, Kim shows that it’s never too late to build bridges and mend fractured relationships with love, kindness and an open heart. This was a positive feel good book that I’m glad I had the opportunity to read, in a busy world this was a perfect little bit of escapism with more than a touch of reality.

Thank you too Boldwood Books and Rachel’s Random Resources for letting me join the blog tour.

The Happiest Ever After - Milly Johnson



About the book… 

Polly Potter is surviving, not thriving. She used to love her job – until her mentor died and her new boss decided to make her life hell. She used to love her partner Chris – until he cheated on her, and now she can’t forget. The only place where her life is working is on the pages of the novel she is writing – there she can create a feistier, bolder, more successful version of herself – as the ­fictional Sabrina Anderson.

But what if it was possible to start over again? To leave everything behind, forget all that went before, and live the life you’d always dreamed of?

After a set of unforeseen circumstances, Polly ends up believing she really IS Sabrina, living at the heart of a noisy Italian family restaurant by the sea. Run by Teddy, the son of her new landlady Marielle, it’s a much-loved place, facing threat of closure as a rival restaurant moves in next door. Sabrina can’t remember her life as Polly, but she knows she is living a different life from the one she used to have.

But what if this new life could belong to her after all?

My thoughts…

Where do I begin, another Milly Johnson hug on a page! Milly Johnson has crafted her story telling to perfection. She tempers real life scenarios and characters with her dry northern wit - this time through a series of Daily ~Trumpet newspaper articles that are toe curlingly funny, the very perfect antidote to this story as we meet and get to know the character and life of Polly. Polly is without a doubt an absolute diamond of a woman that has become invisible - everyone walks all over her, her friends, her partner Chris, his family and new boss Jeremy. People talk at her, and she does their bidding, she really doesn’t have a voice.

From the very first pages I was cheering for the under-dog, Polly’s only escape from her life was her writing class, something she kept to herself, for herself and it’s this that is her saviour, an escape from the reality of her life. A personality test at work and the subsequent meeting with her boss sees us watch Polly finally explode, fighting back and spewing the truth. As a reader you could feel the steam rising within her, once released it was unable to stop boiling over until she eventually deflated like a balloon.

She decides she’s has to escape, to get away from her life and everyone in it. Packing her bags she heads for the seaside only for a series of unfortunate events to occur that see her sink even lower, not knowing who or where she is. I loved how she found herself hiding in plain sight behind a character that was just like Polly but with far more sass and confidence. I loved watching her blossom and grow through the guise of Sabrina. Reality and fiction merging on the page.

I particularly loved how Milly set the tone and pace of the Happiest Ever After, it ebbed and flowed as we interacted with the plethora of supporting characters and particularly as Polly grew in confidence and stature. The pacing and tone depicting the emotions and feelings that Polly felt as she reclaimed her self confidence and voice. Though, I found myself gritting my teeth and wanting to spit as I read her partner Chris’s take on how and why she’d disappeared and how she would return with her tail between her legs. I’ve lost tooth enamel from gritting my teeth!! Thank goodness Milly Johnson likes to see the good and down trodden triumph and those that need bringing down a peg or two knocked cleanly off their pedestal.

This was a truly heartfelt, emotive read that was both sad and hopeful and uplifting at the same time.  With light shining on the dark moments, as Polly found her voice and grew in stature. I loved how the Happiest Ever After was tastefully scattered with a liberal amount of very tongue in cheek humour told through the Daily Trumpet articles, which served its purpose of softening the edges perfectly.  Thank you Milly Johnson for yet another beautiful story about relationships, family dynamics, love, friendship and self confidence and self growth delivered in your usual open, honest, straight -forward northern style - it was just perfect.

Return to Half Moon Farm - Holly Hepburn



About the book… 

When Daisy’s mother falls ill she is forced to return home. With her twin sons in tow, she moves back to Half Moon Farm, her family’s ancient hop farm.

But a new life in the Kent countryside isn’t necessarily as idyllic as it might seem. Daisy’s relationship with her mother is complicated and the tumbledown farm isn’t the only thing that needs rebuilding. Daisy and her sons must adjust to life with estranged family, a leaking roof, and no WiFi.

Luckily for Daisy, she might yet find some distraction in silver fox farmer, Drew, or in the haughty heir to the nearby estate, Kit, who she can’t seem to avoid.

Daisy must learn to juggle her new life, the boys, and the daunting task of updating the farm. But there are secrets lurking in her family’s past that might throw everything into further disarray…

About the author… 

I’ve wanted to write books for adults for as long as I can remember but I was too scared to try. One day I decided to be brave and dipped a toe into the bubble bath of romantic comedy with my first novella, Cupidity, and I’ve never looked back. I often try to be funny to be funny, except for when faced with traffic wardens and border control staff. My favourite thing is making people smile.
I’ve tried many jobs over the years, from barmaid to market researcher and I even had a brief flirtation with modelling. These days I am mostly found writing.

I live near London with my grey tabby cat, Portia. We both have an unhealthy obsession with Marmite.

My thoughts…

Memories flash across Daisy’s eyes as she finds herself going back in time to a place she loved but hasn’t been back to for a very long time. Everything’s changed, but nothings changed. We join Daisy as she is temporarily moving back to Mistlethorpe and Half Moon Farm with her two sons Finn and Campbell to care for her estranged mum.

The emotions Daisy felt arriving back at the farm that she had loved visiting as a child, but hadn’t been back to since losing her beloved grand-parents was palpable. As a reader I could feel her trepidation and that heart sinking dullness as she saw pictures in her mind of a time gone by that didn’t resemble the reality of the farm house now - add to it, that she was there out of a sense of duty, not love - to say she had a difficult relationship with her mother would be an understatement.

Return to Half Moon Farm had it all for me relationships and conflict both old and new, of both the two and four legged kind - dodging and side stepping to change Initial impressions. A bump in her car and an encounter with the rudest man ever goes a long way to setting the tone for the first section of the book but as the story progresses we witness the growth of both Daisy and her boys as they settled into their current new life.

Daisy finds herself peeling back the life of her grandmother and a mystery suitor in the war through a series of letters Daisy unearthed was tantalising and annoying at the same time - I was impatient to know what each one said and piece together a story previously unknown but Daisy was careful to read and absorb each one individually - pondering and absorbing the contents. Daisy finds herself unwittingly walking into a long standing family feud.

This has got to be one of the best feel good books I've read in a long time. A perfect first read for 2024. It was colourful, with vibrant characters that played off each other. Each and every chapter is filled with humour, fun and laughter alongside mystery with a difference, a hefty dose of reality and more than a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure. Daisy might just have two suitors - two very different characters, one obvious and smooth, one more of a slow burn. Sparring in each corner my vote swayed throughout but the best man wins the day I think!! 

An absolutely wonderful read, that is uplifting, heart warming and hopeful. The past hurt, intrigue and romance is heartfelt, the friendships strong and watching Daisy and her boys settle and grow was just lovely.
