Matilda's summer of new beginnings by Kirsty Ferry

Posted

I read this as a stand-alone story without knowledge of the previous three books in the series and thoroughly enjoyed it!

It is a cosy and uplifting story about young love getting a second chance, and about reevaluating life. 

Matilda has just been dumped (via text message!!) and her old time rival has got his art accepted at a gallery in London (although a dubious one...). She escapes to the sleepy village of Padcock to attend a birthday party for her best friend's brother Jay - and to connect with to local very successful artists.

Working through her emotions and taking hold the opportunities that come along, Matilda soon finds herself in a happier place and she's getting more confident.

This was a captivating and inspiring slow-burn, small town, feel-good story.


I was given an ARC via Netgalley of Matildas summer of new beginnings, written by Kirsty Ferry. It is currently due to be published on 9 April 2024, but you can preorder your copy now.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Posted
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
