That's Cockatoo Much by Kristin MacQueen

Posted

That's Cockatoo Much by Kristin MacQueen is the first book in a shared world series, with stories written by seven different authors. 

Delilah left Tuft Swallow ten years ago and as she never planned on coming back she cut off all contact with everyone except with her Aunt Jane. Unfortunately Aunt Jane needs help running her salon so Delilah is returning to keep the business running. 

Entering the town she manages to make quite a stir... crashing a police patrol vehicle to avoid a goat walking on the hight street... 

Jonah is the police chief and Delilah's ex husband and he has never stopped loving her - even after one of his patrol cars gets crashed into on her unexpected return to town. 

Mis communication, hastily drawn conclusions, second chances, small town life and GOSSIP by the Tit Peepers, make this story a real hoot (pun intended...).  

"This woman always was the sole focus of my attention, how did I live without her for so long? You didn’t, you idiot. You existed without her. You stopped living ten long years ago."

PS. The authors must have had so much fun coming up with all the (somewhat) corny bird related names and puns!! I'm looking forward to the rest of the series to find out more about this adorable town!

Bybee has written another fab book in the D'Angelos series - great holiday read, perhaps even more so if you're heading to Italy and love wine! Amazing combination of romance, travel, independence, life experience and wine. Oh, and not to forget the Golden Girls!! This is the third book in the D'Angelos series - you really ought to read them all!! - and it'll be available at the end of June 2023. My review of the second book in the series, Be your everything , can be found ## here ##. #BeginningofForever #NetGalley

More Than Just Mum by Rebecca Smith

Posted
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

Posted
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.
