My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Rachel at Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to take part on the tour.




Synopsis

Holly Roberts is well-known among family and friends for despising the cold, so no one is more surprised than her when she agrees to pack her bags and move to the Swiss Alps. But after getting her heart broken, spending the winter season working as a sous-chef for wealthy twins Genevieve and gorgeous Luca, is exactly what the doctor ordered.


Verbier is home to millionaires and Holly has never felt more out of place in the snow-capped wooden chalet. Thankfully new friends, chalet girl Liv and chef Xavier are there to be her guide in this new world of après-ski and fondue, and to teach her how to get off chair lifts! And then there is Luca... rich, handsome, kind but what is the catch?

She just wanted to escape her problems but could she get her Happily Ever After?




My review

This was one of those lovely feel good romantic reads that you need to pack in your case for those apres ski sessions on a cold, crisp and snowy day. Alternatively. light a fire, make a hot chocolate and snuggle down under layers of cosy blankets and escape to the Swiss Alps for a few hours.

Holly is a character that you will love, want to hug, but at times you will also want to shake and tell her to use some common sense. Mind you I am sure there are times when we could all be swept off our feet by a handsome guy and a few bottles of champagne in a spa on top of a snow covered mountain !!

The story moves at a pace that keeps you engrossed without it being too taxing on having to remember who is who etc, and is perfect if you have had a stressful week and just want to let your brain relax.

Right, I think I now need to dig out my salopettes, ski jacket and passport and jet off to Verbier and see what happens !!!!!!!

The Delegate by Ali Carter   What a tangled web she weaved…   The Delegate by Ali Carter was  published on 29th November 2022 by Matador. My thanks to the author and publisher who sent me a copy and Random Book Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour.      Synopsis Charlotte… Having been sprung by Mafia family the Zandini’s on a day release the previous year, and managing to ‘despatch’ one of their enemies in New York (plus a few extras), ex killer G.P> Charlotte Peterson was now securely back inside Rampton high Security Hospital. However, her work was unfinished and a second escape quite out of the question. It was why she had the need of a delegate. A killer to complete a very important job…someone she’d control. Annie… She had found the perfect person in Annie. A woman who felt cheated. A woman who was mentally and emotionally scarred in exactly the same way Charlotte had been throughout her own life. Annie was fully ripe for manipulation in t...

Tristan /Yseulte by Harry Bonelle

 Tristan /Yseulte  by Harry Bonelle Tristan/ Yseult by Harry Bonelle  was published on 31st january 2024 by Unicorn. My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours  for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis Tristan/Yseult is a narrative poem about the yearning for oneness in a world split into fragments. A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale. “Harry Bonelle’s new version taps into the dark and furious energy of the old saga, surging and juddering with life. Bonelle’s actor’s training has encouraged him to liberate the performance piece that its original author must have intended. Thrilling on the page, but even more so spoken loud....

  Danger With Lashings Of Caviar  by Liz Hinds Danger With Lashings Of Caviar was published on 20th March 2024. My thanks to the author for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis When Tabby wakes up in a rubbish skip - again - she decides the time has come for action. The bad guys might have got away with it so far but it's time to turn the tables. With the help of her mum, a disgraced policeman, a farting dog, and two homeless friends Tabby is determined to bring the handsome criminal millionaire to justice. And she was only supposed to be making a few sandwiches. My Review This is the first book in the Tabitha's Table mystery series and if this first book is anything to go by it should prove to be a tongue in cheek cosy mystery set of books that will have you laughing out loud. At times you will be asking yourself "Really" whilst at other times you will be taking in the light hearted way that ...
