The Whole Time by Catherine Bybee

I have loved the previous books that I have read in the D'Angelos series by Catherine Bybee and this definitely lived up to expectations!

Salena is strong-willed and fiercely independent, and has caused quite a stir with her Catholic parents by moving away from home before she's married. She now lives in one of the apartments above the D’Angelos' restaurant where she works as a manager. Despite not paying much in rent, she is struggling to make ends meet and she's looking for alternative income streams.

Attending the wedding of her friend Emma and Gio D'Angelo (who were the main characters in the third book, Beginning of Forever) sparks fly between her and Emma's younger brother Ryan. Ryan has no interest in taking over the family vineyard business, neither is he keen on marriage.

Salena and Ryan agree to a friendship with benefits, but it soon evolves into something much more.

Feel-good, heartwarming and cosy read, with just a little bit of suspense. Hopefully it was also a permanent bye bye to Brynn!

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
