Review: The Wedding Dress Repair Shop

The Wedding Dress Repair Shop The Wedding Dress Repair Shop by Trisha Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a big fan of Trisha Ashley’s books, and have been for many years now. I was so excited to be offered an early copy to review.

I loved the concept of a museum of wedding dresses from weddings that have gone awry.

I loved both Honey and Garland, they’re both such great characters. Garland is lovely, and I honestly was delighted by her “berserk rage”. Honey is an unusual character, but very fun. She writes gory crime novels, and I love her sense of humour and determination.

I wasn’t so keen on Thom, though I warmed up a little towards the end of the book. Other than his disappearance 6 years prior to the story, I didn’t really get a strong sense of his character. He just seemed to be in the background, generally being helpful (which is a good trait, after all).

I loved Golightly too, especially his faces and noises. He definitely added plenty of humour to the story!

Overall, this was a delightful romance, full of those whimsical and humourous touches that make Trisha Ashley books so special. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and didn’t want it to end.

I was given a 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. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. View all my reviews

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
