This was my first trip to the delightful Pepper Bay. Silly me! Why have I not read the whole series? I will be going back and reading them all in order. Firstly because I know that I’m going to love them and secondly, although The Gatehouse Cafe read easily as a stand alone story, I know I would have got more from it had I read the whole series.
I loved Pepper Bay. Set on the Isle of Wight, K.T. Dady has created a wonderful community, with a big heart.
Vivien’s story was very moving. I think the author did a great job of conveying the desperation and the horror of Vivien’s home life, but without being too graphic or brutal with her language and descriptions. She hit the balance just right for this genre.
I really felt for Vivien, and was rooting for her from the start. I crossed everything for her to find safety and freedom.
Finn was instantly likeable and had such a big heart. How could anyone not fall in love with this lovely man.
TheGatehouseCafe is a compelling read. Poignant, emotional, moving, hopeful, uplifting and empowering.
I thought it was a damn good read and I can’t wait to head back to Pepper Bay and its residents very soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How many of us can hold our hands up and admit to feeling like a complete fraud? Someone not very special, not particularly capable… an imposter??? I know I can safely say, ‘that’s me!’
I do enjoy a good self help book, and #TheImposterCure immediately called to me, because it felt so relevant to my life.
This book is easy to follow, engaging and insightful.
Is this book a magic cure for anyone who struggles with symptoms of imposter syndrome? Well, no it isn’t. But what it does do, and does very well, is to offer some straight up practical advice. Advice that is easy to follow and will give you the tools and information that you can use and take forward with you.
I genuinely found this book fascinating. It challenged me, inspired me and left me with some solid ideas that I’m confident I can use to improve my ability to cope.
I would happily recommend this book to anyone struggling with feelings of imposter syndrome and the like. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you enjoy a cozy mystery, this is a gorgeous series to lose yourself in.
SpellBound throws in all the magical ingredients.
There’s a dead body, an amateur female super sleuth – who may just be in the frame for murder herself, a dishy young private detective and some unresolved love. This book brings it all together and creates something special.
I loved being back in Raven Creek, and can’t wait to return in the future for more delicious cozy mystery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Many thanks to Rachel’s Random Reads for a digital arc of this title.
I’m rather partial to being whisked away to somewhere lovely. As I am married to someone who on a scale of 1-10 ranks about a 2 for imagination and spontaneity, Helga Jensen’s books provide a nice bit of sunshine and fun in foreign lands.
Helga Jensen paints a beautiful picture of Venice and dare I say, she does Wales justice too.
I thought Libby and Will were very well written characters. I empathised with a lot of their struggles. And gaped in shock at Will’s stupidity!
MyHeartIsInVenice is a fabulous read. It’s funny, sweet, emotional and relatable.
A damn good read, that I’d thoroughly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A funny and heartwarming second-chance romance, perfect for fans of Milly Johnson and Julie Caplin.
Sian O’Gorman takes us back to her glorious setting of Sandycove for another book set in this idyllic Irish village by the sea.
This is a standalone book and tells the stories of Kate, Flora, Patsy and Lola in alternating chapters.
I loved being back in Sandycove. It’s such a warm hearted place, with a community spirit that will heal the most broken of hearts.
I enjoyed the journey that these four women went on. They are all very different, but their home and love bind them together.
Sian O’Gorman writes beautifully. She captures her readers with her charming tales, that are utterly heart warming and uplifting.
Banish those winter blues, with this feel good read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Girls from Sandycove A mother and daughter adrift, a friend in need, and a village to call home… When Kate O’Hare discovers she’s pregnant, she is determined to return to her hometown of Sandycove in Dublin. On the other side of the Atlantic, her estranged mother, international superstar, Lola, is heartbroken following the loss of her soulmate, Paulie. On hearing Kate’s plan, Lola follows her, seeking a second chance at motherhood. Kate discovers her best friend, Flora, is back in her childhood bedroom, her marriage and self-esteem in tatters following her husband’s public betrayal. Flora now finds herself with no husband, home, or future, while her own mother Patsy is stepping out of her comfort zone into the world of interiors. Can Patsy’s new life reignite Flora’s talent and creativity? And what of the O’Hare family secret which has the power to unlock a pathway to greater mutual understanding? And will music and the magic of Sandycove be enough to empower the women through such challenging times? An emotive story of forgiveness, new beginnings and happy-ever-afters…
This is book two in Camilla Isley’s True Love series. I must admit I haven’t read book one, but I certainly will be doing so. Baby One More Time was easily read as a standalone book, but parts of it would have had more impact had I read its predecessor. So, as always, I’d say read a series in order to get the most from the author’s hard work.
BabyOneMoreTime is a second chance, enemies to lovers story.
Poor Marissa, all she wants is a baby, but the man who she hopes will be able to help her to achieve her dream, turns out to be the very same man who broke her heart.
I did enjoy this book very much. It’s properly laugh out loud funny and even induced a few snorty laughs too.
This is a light and easy read. A fun story with lots of heart and humour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#TheKeeperOfTheIrisgSecrert is a tale from Susanne O’Leary. Full of Irish charm and magic. Who doesn’t love a tale that delves into the secrets and mystery of an old mansion house? And this one doesn’t disappoint.
It was lovely getting to know Lily and her family. I must admit that I got quite swept away with their enchanting story.

The Keeper of the Irish Secret: An utterly gorgeous second chance romance set in Ireland (Magnolia Manor Book 1) by Susanne O’Leary
A mysterious old house, an unforgettable romance and a lost granddaughter escaping to the stunning Irish coast…
Lily Fleury used to love visiting her eccentric grandmother Sylvia in Ireland, taking long sunset walks on the beach and exploring the nooks and crannies of the family’s old home Magnolia Manor. But when she arrives from Dublin broken-hearted, hoping to heal in Sylvia’s warm embrace, she finds the once ornate Georgian house in disrepair and the gardens wildly overgrown. Sylvia has always been fiercely independent, but Lily can’t believe she hasn’t told anyone she’s been struggling.
Lily knows she can’t leave until she gets Sylvia back on her feet. Although mysterious local builder Dominic agrees to help, from the moment Lily looks into his fierce green eyes they clash over how to fix the sprawling estate. It’s only when she hears the soft Irish lilt of his voice as he sings in the local pub that their arguments ignite a spark of passion neither can ignore…
But when Lily finds a trunk of tattered letters in the gatehouse, she discovers a devastating secret Sylvia has been hiding about Magnolia Manor. And she soon learns the real reason Dominic agreed to help out. Lily wanted to save her family home, and could see a life here with Dominic, but will the truth force her to leave the man who has captured her heart and never return?
Fans of Mary Alice Monroe, Sheila O’Flanagan and Debbie Macomber will fall head over heels for this gorgeous, feel-good new series set on the stunning windswept beaches of the west coast of Ireland.
Susanne O’Leary is the bestselling author of more than 20 novels, mainly in the romantic fiction genre. She has also written three crime novels and two in the historical fiction genre.
The wife of a former diplomat, she has also been a fitness teacher and a translator. She now writes full-time from either of two locations, a rambling house in County Tipperary, Ireland or a little cottage overlooking the Atlantic in Dingle, County Kerry. When she is not scaling the mountains of said counties, or doing yoga, she keeps writing, producing a book every six months.
This book fascinated me from the start. I threw myself in, expecting the usual type of therapy book. How wrong was I! Zetta Thomelin takes us on a very personal journey through her family history. In itself this is quite a tale, with a big, jaw dropper of a reveal. Zetta shares the trauma that has hung over her family for generations, and how it has affected them all. After sharing her own story, the author delves deep and hits us with the therapy bit, which she delivers in a clear and concise manner.
TheTraumaEffect is compelling. Full of emotion and heartbreak. But equally it offers hope and positivity.
I’d genuinely recommend this book to anyone who has suffered from a personal trauma or who has lived with the impact of trauma through their family.
An enthralling and truly helpful read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Grab a cuppa, get yourself comfy and let million copy selling author Jessica Redland whisk you off to the beautiful Lake District for another captivating and feel good tale of love, friendship and mystery.
ABreathOfFreshAir is the second book in the Escape To The Lakes series.
It’s entirely readable as a stand alone story. However, book one, #TheStartOfSomethingWonderful is a spectacular book and thoroughly worth a few of your precious reading hours.
#ABreathOfFreshAir takes us back to the pretty village and community of Willowdale. We catch up with previous characters, but this book is firmly Rosie’s story. There is nothing to dislike about Rosie. She is a loyal friend, an excellent support to her mother who is struggling with her own demons and she has enough about her to stand her ground when necessary.
ABraehOfFreshAir has a strong and engaging plot.
I enjoyed following all the different threads and discovering their well crafted conclusions. There is a cliff hanger, or you could call it a teaser for the next book. Either way, it’s clever and intriguing. Roll on book three!
Over all, this is another outstanding book from Jessica Redland. I was gripped by this well written story and can’t wait to head back to the Lake District for more.
