About the Book
Love, Lies and Family Ties
A heartwarming, feel good romantic comedy.

I absolutely adored this book. It gave me all the feels! A charming read full of warmth and heart.’ ***** Kim the Bookworm

Bea Winters is in desperate need of a fresh start. Being bullied at work is not her idea of fun and she longs to follow her dream of becoming a published author. When an advert appears in her local paper to work in a publishing house in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale, it sounds too good to be true.

She strikes up an instant friendship with gorgeous aspiring author, Eddie Richards and her dashing millionaire boss Scott Summers. But all isn’t as it seems in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale.

How does the local clairvoyant know her name? Who does the little black dog that keeps appearing belong to and why does she keep bumping into the mysterious Charlie?
As she starts to unravel the truth, it seems that everyone in Bea’s life is keeping secrets.
An uplifting romantic comedy that will warm your heart – perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Milly Johnson and Carole Matthews.

My Thoughts

No spoilers! An enjoyable cosy read, ideal for a 'chill session' in the garden on a sunny day (or feet up before a cosy fire.) Bea was an instantly likeable character (even if she did manage to get herself into a few pickles LOL!) and I loved Buddy! 

Sometimes, I admit, I thought the plot a little implausible, and maybe there were a few too many coincidences  - but so what? This IS a 'cosy' read, where light-hearted plots, characters  and coincidences are perfectly acceptable. The characters were all well portrayed - the nice ones and the not so nicies and the story was great fun.

The Narrow Boat was gorgeous, (as was Buddy - did I mention Buddy? LOL) And there were enough twisty turns and 'I wonder?'s to keep the pages turning with a hearty wanting to find out what happened next.

A good, enjoyable, relaxing read. 

**** 4 stars
