A summer house on Arran by Ellie Henderson

This is the third book by Ellie Henderson about people and events taking place on Arran, a beautiful Scottish island - the local tourist board should be giving out copies of her books at events around the world! 

Two women looking for a fresh start. An escape to a Scottish island. A summer of sisterhood and second chances . . .

Recent empty nester Kitty is heading to Arran to house sit Lilybank Cottage. 

At the same time, Olivia, who is looking for a fresh start after her current life has taken a turn for the worse, is also heading to Lilybank Cottage. 

After a tense first encounter, they decide to share the cottage. They soon discover that they have more in common than they expected and a genuine friendship is developing. 

Together they help each other find new energy and deal with the past. 

I liked the friendship between Olivia and Kitty and also the relationship Kitty develops with Logan aka the Tartan Wanderer, a local tour guide. 

In Henderson's world, Arran seems to be a place full of magic, kind people and new opportunities.

Previous books set on Arran by Ellie Henderson:

"We owe it to ourselves to make the most of every moment, and to be happy. Life is an incredible gift."

Big Bad Boss: Midnight, by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

First things first: This book ends with a cliff hanger and after getting over that frustration, it leaves you wanting to hurry up the authors to publish the next one, and the one after that in this Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy. Brick, the lead male, is the stereotypical billionaire a-hole, going through assistants quicker than he changes his underwear - well, that's until Madison comes along and puts him in his place. She's bright, sassy and knows what she wants - enough money to pay her brother's tuition fees and to do some under cover research.   Big Bad Boss: Midnight is an amazingly well written and captivating shifter story mixing hotness and business; a shame it ended with a cliffhanger. It's publishing tomorrow 29 February 2024. #BigBadBoss #NetGalley
