This book was released in September 2023, however, I’ve only recently discovered its release.I have read all of these books from the beginning and love every single one of them. This one is no exception. It is just as brilliant as all the others.It’s been awhile since I’ve read the last one in the series, but each book refers back to things that have happened in previous books which is a nice…

Book Cover I read this book over the Christmas holidays and is a collection of short stories. These stories are Christmas themed, but with a modern twist. I must say, I did find these stories, a little hard to follow at times due to the list of characters that are given at the beginning of each story. I feel that there were too many characters in some of the stories to keep track of what was…

So spring is officially here! Not that you would guess it by the weather. Spring cleaning is already well under way in my house. I’ve chosen to love a frugal life going forward so I am either selling or binning everything that I don’t really need. It’s crazy when you start sorting though things how much stuff you accumulate without even realising. Are you doing any spring cleaning this year? If…

www.audible.co.uk/pd Fact or Fiction? Firstly, can I just say it was nice to hear this book narrated by Harry his self? He does go in to quite a bit of detail about most things and his life. However, the thing that got me was a lot of what he said was guesswork. Either He has a very bad memory, he has possibly repressed some of these memories, or he’s simply trying to make up stories to fill the…

www.audible.co.uk/pd I finished this book around the Christmas break but only just got around to writing a review. This story is lovely but the narrative is a little confusing. It’s set after ‘A Winter Flame’ and all the main characters are there but they are just not the same. Eve is now pregnant and this features heavily in this story but the title suggests that it’s a Christmas story when in…

Now that the madness of Christmas and New Year is done it’s time to start a fresh with the new year to come. Hi start every month with a doodle on my kitchen chalk board so that when I get my coffee every morning it gives my that little smile to start my day. Kitchen doodle This doodle wasn’t my most imaginative I will admit but if like me, you don’t have a whole lot going on in January other…

Book Review – A Winter Flame by Milky Johnson

www.audible.co.uk/pd I love that in the beginning Eve is a sceptic who due to previous heartache and loss detests Christmas but as the story progresses she starts to warm to the season. She is left a theme park which is under construction on the orders of her late aunt. This is something which when she is first told believes to be a joke. She then finds out that the park is not her alone. She has…

Apparently today is National cappuccino day and I welcome this beautiful day with open arms! I love coffee everyday but a Cappuccino has to be my fave! It’s my go to beverage every morning and a great way to kick start the day. This time of year a cappuccino is the perfect companion on a cold wet windy day. Show some appreciation for one I made yesterday 👇 I’ve dubbed this one a Potter Coffee…

Saw this online this morning and thought it might bring some joy to someone’s day to share it. Always love the things you are passionate about even if it’s not run of the mill or the cool thing to do. Always be who you are. Don’t ever change for anyone!

Book Review – The Plus One Pact by Portia Mackintosh

www.audible.co.uk/pd I absolutely loved this book. It’s funny, relatable and feel good. I love the character of Cara, nerdy but cool and very single. She has tried the whole dating app thing which has produced a number of undesirable characters. Then just as she is about to give up she meets Millsy in a bar. From here, her whole life changes. Millsy picks her up out of her mundane life and shows…

Book Review – The Secret to Happiness by Jessica Redland

www.audible.co.uk/pd I liked this story especially the friendship element of it and they way that all three women have their own stuff going on and despite the fact that their friendship is very new they make time for each other. I must say that this is a bit of a man bashing story. Whilst I know there are men out there who don’t know how to treat a woman if it kills them this really does shine a…
