Blog Tour Stop with Review - Coming Home to Wishington Bay by Maxine Morrey

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Coming Home to Wishington Bay by the gorgeous Maxine Morrey! I'm so excited to share my review with you!


What They Say:

Home is where the heart is…
Holly doesn’t have time for a holiday this year. But when her job threatens to send her over the brink, her boss insists she take a sabbatical. So she packs her bags and escapes to her beloved grandmother Gigi’s house on Wishington Bay, which has sat empty since Gigi passed away.
 
But Holly’s dreams of a coastal escape take an unexpected turn. Holly didn’t expect to spend time with any man this summer – let alone an Aussie Adonis…but when she meets her next door neighbour Gabe and his little dog Bryan, it’s clear her quiet summer of strolling along the sand and wandering through the seaside village’s tiny streets on her own will come with a hefty dose of distraction.
 
With a summer to fill and Gigi’s wonderful and surprising house to sort through, Holly knew it would be a summer packed with old memories. She just didn’t expect to make so many new ones…
 
Coming Home to Wishington Bay is the new gorgeous uplifting rom-com from Maxine Morrey, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Tilly Tennant!


What I Say:

I was so excited to be part of the tour for this book! Maxine is one of the sweetest people to speak to online and her books are just as lovely as she is!

So, Monday and Tuesday, I was having a really bad day, feeling really poorly and stressed so I dove in. I know I had left it late, but things have been crazy. I curled up with my phone to read and found myself transported to Wishington Bay.

From the first page, I felt like I belonged within the pages of this story. Holly is just the BEST kind of character. I adored her, I wanted to protect her and hug her and just love her. And Bryan (with a Y) was my favourite! He is the most adorable little sausage dog and reminded me of my Bella Boo (although she's a Pomeranian!). Obviously, Gabe the hot doctor made for easy reading too.

This little village with all the quirky residents, shops and treasure troves made me really want to live there. And don't get me started on the private bit of beach! That's heaven! I adored picturing Gigi and her house in my mind and could easily imagine spending long lazy afternoons on that porch!

Ahhh, this book really was just the perfect escape from a chaotic, messy brain! Thank you, Maxine, for making me feel so much better!

This book is a summer must-read! 10/10

Why I'm Shaving My Head for Lancashire Women

Hi there! I know it's been ages since I've done a personal blog post.      Things have been... weird. I know the whole world has struggled getting used to this new normal and the new measures we have to follow. So many people have lost so much to COVID and my heart breaks for them. And while the virus itself hasn't changed my life very much, this time of lockdowns and self-isolating has been really hard for me too.      When it all first started to change, Steve was taken into hospital with a bunch of different symptoms. COVID wasn't really a thing then, so he wasn't tested for it, but looking back, we're pretty sure that's what it was. While he was in hospital in March, an inspector from the RSPCA came to check on the welfare of our dogs as they'd had a report that Sky, our GSD, was too skinny. She is petite, a slim girl who didn't have a good start in life but is spoilt rotten now, along with our other 2, Bella and Minnie. They had no concerns and

Blog Tour Stop and Review of The Holiday Escape by Heidi Swain

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for The Holiday Escape by the delightful Heidi Swain! Let me preface this by saying that this is my first blog tour in a year, and the last one was for Heidi's last standalone book, The Book-Lovers Retreat! What better way to make my comeback than this??!! What They Say: Her dream holiday is his everyday life. His dream holiday is her normal life. What happens when they collide?   Ally and her dad, Geoff, run the family business, a creative retreat, from their home Hollyhock Cottage in picturesque Kittiwake Cove. They give their guests their dream break, but Ally hankers after glamourous city living, fancy restaurants and art galleries. Ally’s survival strategy is to escape out of season, take a break abroad and pretend to be the person she always imagined she would be. She meets Logan while she’s away and he turns out to be  exactly  the kind of distraction she’s looking for. With her spirits restored, Ally returns home, picks up the reins again
