I LOVED THIS BOOK

Yesterday, I did a blog tour for this book. See the link below to view this. Today, I would like to share my review.

A blog tour: One French Summer

Review:

It is rather gloomy out on this February afternoon where I live. How nice it has been to escape to a story that is set in the warm and sunny days of summer. Plus, the novel takes place in France, one of my favorite countries.

Here is a book that will be enjoyed by fans of women’s fiction. Readers meet Katy, who may just be at a crossroads in her life. There have been changes at home and Katy is feeling them. What will happen when she spends some time away with her close friends? What will be awakened in her? How will her life change as a result? Find out in this delightful novel. It is a warm, lovely book and one filled with characters about whom readers will care.

Thanks again to Rachel’s Random Reads and the publisher for this opportunity.

The Devine Doughnut Shop

by Carolyn Brown

Carolyn Brown knows how to write women’s fiction that readers enjoy. Here she uses the familiar device of following of three characters lives and how they intersect with one another, in this case, though their shared ownership of a business.

Readers get to know Grace, Sarah and Macy. Each has a life with some issues. For example, Grace is trying to decipher coping with a teenager while Macy is planning her wedding. And, what is happening with Sarah and the doughnut shop itself? Read this one to find out.

While there is nothing that makes this title truly outstanding it does offer readers a comfortable and easy read. Those who enjoy family stories may want to take a look at this one.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Montlake for this title. All opinions are my own.

#ShakespearesTalesOthello #NetGalley

This publisher has issued many books for children that are based on the classics. This is an entry in their series of Shakespeare’s plays. The story of Othello is retold in modern, easy to follow prose. There are also short chapters and illustrations which make reading this a good introduction for kids. Hopefully, they will grow up to read the originals!

One French Summer

Only child out of the house – so far out that she’s gone all the way to Australia! A husband, who has requested a break. Life isn’t quite going as planned for Katy.

She’s suddenly at a loss, but she still has her friends Sam, Vicky and Ivy. The girls have been there for her through thick and they’re not about to stop now. However, they think Katy might need more than boot camp . . . so they kidnap her and head off to France on a last minute retreat.

Can a reset give her a new lease on life or help her win back her husband? Or could there be a new love in her life?

She went for a holiday, but it could become the start of a second chance . . .

Only in Texas

Weird and Wonderful Facts About the Lone Star State

by Heather Alexander

This title will be enjoyed by children who are interested in geography. I hope and think that it will be part of a series on all fifty of the United States.

This book is packed with information about various Texas cities, history, flora & fauna, museums, festivals and much more. The text is accompanied by many illustrations, photos and more.

I love how the author invites young readers in by asking them to hop into his pickup truck and begin their tour/journey. Kids are told they will do things like eat, paddle down rivers, go to rodeos and have lots of other adventures.

This book offers a superb way to interest kids in geography. It deserves a spot in home and school libraries.

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.

Dreams Come True at Primrose Hall

Pia Temple has always had a soft spot for Jackson Moody following a passionate teenage love affair that burnt out over one long summer, more than ten years ago. First loves can be hard to forget, and the devastatingly gorgeous Jackson, is harder to forget than most.

After putting aside her ambitions while she cared for her parents, it is finally time for Pia to think about herself. So, when she’s offered the perfect job running the social calendar at Primrose Hall, with a dreamy flat included, how can she refuse? There’s only one problem… The new owner of the refurbished seventeenth-century manor house set in the idyllic Primrose Woods, is none other than Jackson, the man she’s thought about every day for years. 

In a whirl of weddings and craft fairs, literary festivals and tea parties, Pia blossoms in her new role. But with the delectable Jackson a daily distraction, maybe this isn’t the dream job after all – especially when Jackson’s unfeasibly beautiful ex-girlfriend Tara, comes back to visit the hall…

Dreams Come True at Primrose Hall is the perfect feel-good love story to brighten even the darkest day. Just right for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Julie Houston.
