The Lucky Shamrock Carolyn Brown

Despite not being a main character in the story, I really loved Nana Irene! She's the clever lady behind everything that happens!

She forces the three cousins, Taryn, Anna Rose and Jorja to work together to look after her flower shop The Lucky Shamrock whilst she takes care of her best friend Ruby following her recent surgery. They have all got fond memories of their grandmother and the flower shop, but less so of each other so it's not without hesitation and trepidation that the three of them agree to help put.

It gets off to a rocky start, as expected, but events in the village soon keep them all busy and they have to work together to stay on top of orders coming in. To their help the have Clinton who's been helping Irene and Ruby with deliveries - and now he is finding himself in a bit of a mediator role.

From the clever Nana Irene and her friendship with Ruby, the village girls competing for Clinton and the many free meals, the dark pasts of the three cousins and the support they provide each other, and the need to work together, to the unexpected ending; this is an amazing story which I highly recommend.

The book will be available in July 2023 and it's not to be missed.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage. Highly entertaining story with some slow romance and Van getting stuck into her new life and improving operations at Andy's castle. This book is available now! PS. I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
