Fowl Play by Cassandra Medcalf

FOWL PLAY by Cassandra Medcalf is part of the shared Tuft Swallow world series, with stories written by seven different authors. 

Cornhole, I had never heard of this "sport", but apparently it's a BIG thing in Tuft Swallow, so much so that you need to practise repeatedly during the week and hours at a time - all for a game where you toss a little bag towards a target...

Kodi, The Ice Queen, is the cornhole captain and a right slave driver, pushing the team  through their gruesome training sessions. 

Brian is the new-to-town chiropractor who's outed as gay during his first week. Working with Kodi to move the focus from his recently failed relationship, their fake relationship is soon not so fake. 

Lily is THE BEST FRIEND EVER, it's just a shame Kodi is so tied up in her own struggles to see it. Everyone needs a Lily!

In similar style as That's Cockatoo Much by Kristin MacQueen, there is plenty of (somewhat) corny bird related names and puns!! Unfortunately there wasn't much of Hot Daddy or Winston in this story. I hope they both return!

I'm looking forward to the rest of the series to find out more about this adorable town! The books in the Tuft Swallows series are;

  • That's Cockatoo Much - Kristin MacQueen (print 20 April 2024, ebook 7 May 2024)
  • Tit Me With Your Best Shot - Chantal Roome 
  • Flock and Roll - Vicki Hilton 
  • Don't Give A Cluck - Karigan Hale 
  • FOWL PLAY - Cassandra Medcalf (2 July 2024)
  • This Is Hawkward - Joelle Evans 
  • No Egrets - Susan Renee

The books will be released throughout May to August. 

Fowl Play: A Small Town Sports Romance, is coming out July 2, 2024.

More Than Just Mum by Rebecca Smith

I'll happily pay for a 'mum breakdown service' Title: More Than Just Mum  (More Than Just Mum, Book 1) Author: Rebecca Smith In the reviews by others, this book is described as an "absolutely hilarious, laugh out loud novel of family chaos and reinvention". I wasn't that enamoured with it. Sure, it made me smile from time to time, but it wasn't incredible.  Hannah is the mum of Dylan, Scarlet and Benji. She's tired of being 'the mum of...'. and she's longingly looking back at a time when she was Hannah, not the MUM. She decides she needs to find a job she loves and earn a lot of money.  To earn lots of money she decides she should become a writer, because they apparently all earn a lot of dosh. She has a particular niche in mind...  "... might ask for advice about how to handle being forty-three years old, permanently strapped for cash and doing a job I hate while trying to deal with three exhausting kids. That’s the kind of breakdown ...

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley by Rosie Clarke

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley is the latest instalment in the gritty, historical saga series set in London's East End in 1924.  It builds on the first book in the series "Dangerous Times on Dressmakers' Alley" with many of the characters returning and coming further to life.  The girls are enjoying their work at Miss Susie's, the dressmaker's run by a former maid. Recently there has been a series of women being attached and robbed, even in broad daylight.  The Police seem too busy (and somewhat incompetent) so the men of the Dressmakers' Alley create a rota to keep an eye on the area and to keep their wives, girlfriends and sisters safe. The story felt a bit darker than the previous one, and some of the novelty from the first book was now just part of the back story (a Lady designing dresses, a former maid running a business, the Women's Movement, etc).    Dark Secrets on Dressmakers Alley by Rosie Clarke is available on 29 October 2024.
