Out of Love by Ruth Cardello

When Scott's new-found twin asks him to swap places with him for a few hours (well, at least that's what he said...) so he can sort out your farm business - something which you didn't even know was needed - Scott agrees.

Scott is told to stay put in his brother's home, but he gets bored and gets dressed in one of Jesse's suits before heading off to his office. What could possibly go wrong?

Quite a lot, actually! Ruth Cardello has created a highly entertaining story with a few twists, some STEM content and likeable characters.

This is the second book in the The Switch series and follows Strictly Business. I hadn't read the first book, but reading the synopsis on Amazon for the first book and reviews, the first book seems to be Jesse's story, whereas in this one we get Scott's story. If I had known, I would have read the first book before starting on this. Still, it's a great book, but I do feel like a missed some of the back story.

This book will be available in October 2022, with a third one coming later on.

I was given a free copy of this book by Montlake and Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

The Harbour Lights Mystery by Emylia Hall

Lovely, laid back off-season Cornwall is the scene for The Harbour Lights Mystery written by Emylia Hall. It's the second book about the Shell House Detectives, but you can read it standalone (although you may like it as much as I did and read the first book in the series afterwards!). December in Cornwall and there are probably more locals than tourists attending when the famous Christmas lights are turned on in Mousehole harbour. Ally, one half of the Shell House Detectives, is watching the lights with her friend Gus and she's worrying that he may be after more than friendship. Anything that was about to be said is abruptly stopped when there is a piercing scream ripping through the darkness. Joining the crowds, Ally finds out that someone has been brutally murdered and dumped in a fisherman’s boat. It turns out that the victim is the not so very popular chef JP Sharpe, but what has Ally and her detective partner intrigued is an unfinished letter found in Sharpe's coat p...

The Social Distance Between Us / Hostile Environments by Darren McGarvey

This book seems to have two different titles: 'Hostile Environments' and ' The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain' This is a MUST read!! A real eye opener and a perfect book to base important discussions on. Yes, the book contains views belonging to certain political camps, but the painstakingly detailed research that has gone into creating this book including a huge number of real life examples make Darren McGarvey and his book forces to be reckoned with. Politicians, policy makers and those who want to, or more importantly can , influence decision making in Britain, should make it a priority to read this book. The book extensively discusses how proximity is one of the biggest reasons for failure in most of the political system used in Britain today. The lack of actual lived experience of policy makers in Whitehall and the devolved nations, make policies fail miserably; in many cases not by ill-intent, but because the policy makers just c...

The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda E Brunstetter

This is not your typical quilting club! Title: The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club Author: Wanda E Brunstetter Quick and easy read with some heartwarming sections; all in all a feel-good, easy read. Emma (an Amish widow) decides to start a quilting club to earn some extra money to support herself, rather than getting re-married or relying on her children to take care of her.
