Review: A Good Day for Chardonnay

A Good Day for Chardonnay A Good Day for Chardonnay by Darynda Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having reread A Bad Day for Sunshine in preparation, my expectations for A Good Day for Chardonnay were extremely high. Needless to say, Darynda Jones exceeded them, again! She always does.

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are fun, and of course I already love most of them from the previous book. The plot is excellent - both that of this individual book, and the overarching plot of the series. I was kept reading well past my bedtime! I absolutely love the community, both the physical setting and the collection of people. I love the relationships between those people, especially Auri and Sun. Their banter is spot on, and their love for each other (in fact, the whole family’s) shines through so strongly. The heat between Sun and Levi has been turned up to sizzling (can’t say more without spoilers).

This story is fun, funny, heartwarming, and most of all, will grip you the whole way through. Sun and Auri will worm their way into your heart and refuse to leave. This book is the absolute best. I can’t wait for the next one!

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Review: Sweet Mercies

Sweet Mercies by Anne Booth My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved Small Miracles, so I was thrilled to be offered a copy of Sweet Mercies (the sequel) to review. I was such a joy to return and spend time with the Sisters of Saint Philomena again. I loved the sense of community, both in the convent, and the wider area. It’s wonderful to see how all the characters are getting on, they feel like old friends. I especially loved the kittens, and their interactions with Sister Cecilia. The plot was great, I loved all the different threads running through the book, and the way they intertwined. I enjoyed the sense of history, and the way it all comes together in the end. Overall, this book was a joy to read, full of community and kindness. I really hope that there will be more books in the series. I’d love to learn more about Sister Cecilia’s past.

Review: The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter

The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter by Sue Moorcroft My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Sue Moorcroft books, and Christmas books, so I was excited to be invited to read The Christmas Love Letters. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story relating to the love letters, and how they (eventually) brought people together. I loved the setting. Nelson’s Bar is clearly a beautiful place near the sea, and all the snow made the book seem extra Christmassy. The characters were also great. I loved Maddy, and the way she’s coped under difficult circumstances, and given Lyla such a lovely childhood. I really liked Raff too, and in fact all the other characters, with the exception of Harris. I understand his reasons, but that is not how you treat anyone you care about! Sue Moorcroft has produced another beautifully romantic and Christmassy story. I highly recomme

Review: The Ice Garden

The Ice Garden by Guy Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars A magical tale. I really enjoyed this book. I so felt for the main character, as I’m allergic to the sun too (though not to anything like the same extent). It is nice to see a book where disability is not magically fixed, but seen as something you have to learn to live with. View all my reviews
