With spring finally sprung on most parts of hte UK, it seems pertinteint to talk about weddings. Not mine, ,which would be a hosck to many, myself more than anyone else. But to the wedding in the books that I have read recently.
First up is a saga that I started and caught up with:
Pearl having joined the WAAF to do ‘her bit’ finds herself running a newspaper which is helping morale at the bases as well as planning her own wedding. With some help from her maid of honour, Jenny and Pear’s sister Thea, they are going to make this the best wedding in wartime.
However it seems that it isn’t just the war against them, a figure from Thea’s past returns and makes trouble. Her friendship with Fitz seems to be a problem for some and all of this combined is going to threaten her sisters wedding. Surely Thea can make amends and make sure everything goes to plan.
This book really took me into the Bomber Command on the ground as well as in the air, of course the book is dominated by strong female characters, but there support to the men that risked their lives is clear amongst the pages.
I look forward to reading the next in the series and will certainly recommend this author for fans of historical sagas.
Wedding’s are notorious for bring everyone together. And in the case of Olivia and Nico, life long friends who took very different paths, it seems this wedding is going to be a challenge for both of them.
Olivia receives an invitation to Nico’s wedding in Tuscany. Although reluctant to go, as she reflects on everything that was once said and what has happened, Olivia goes.
Only to find herself planning the wedding as well, and the bride is somewhat reluctant to be apart of it all. But whose wedding is really planning her dream one or that of her best friend Nico.
Taken to the warmth of Tuscany, the Italian food and the Italian lifestyle, this is a perfect read to escape and to also remind yourself that perhaps following your heart is a better answer than following your head. Annabel French, manages to capture everything that you need in the perfect Happy Ever After book and then fill it with so much more.
Both of these books were advanced review copies from Netgalley and I thank the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read them. I can only apologies with the lack of timing for their reviews.
