This is the story of Caddock, the retired rugby player, and Francis, the interior designer, and how they get together. This is a sweet romance, guaranteed to give you the warm fuzzies whilst you read it. Filled with heart-warming characters of both human and canine varieties, you will travel to antiques fairs and pubs in Cornwall.

Well-written and smoothly paced, this was a slow burner of a romance, although the attraction was instantaneous. Caddock and Francis are most definitely a case of opposites attracting and definitely complementing each other.

Another winner from Dahlia Donovan, and definitely recommended by me.

Despite being the second in a series, The Trouble with Mistletoe is a standalone that can be enjoyed without reading the first.

I have never read from this author before, but I enjoyed her easy light hearted style. From page one, I knew I was going to enjoy the author’s humor as well as characters. From the beginning, it was hard not to like Willa. She is sweet, kind-hearted, and funny at no one’s expense. Keane was just as likable. Despite their troubles and pasts, there was a delightful lack of angst and self-loathing. A definite win in my opinion.

Just in time for the beginning of the holiday season, The Trouble with Mistletoe is lovely read for those wanting a sweet, not too complicated romance.

I loved this story, the author has a fab way of writing so that the characters lead you on a fantastic journey as you read. The characters really worked well within the story. This book has lots of passion and sweet romance. This story can be read as a stand alone. This is a fast paced story which will have you hooked till the end.

Highly recommended

Say Anything... (1989)
Say Anything... (1989)
1989 | Comedy, Drama, Romance

"Say Anything is just such a sweet coming-of-age movie. I just love everything about it: the romance, the comedy, the time period, the music, and the chemistry between the two lead characters. This movie was the beginning of a lot of great careers. The image of John Cusack and the Peter Gabriel song “In Your Eyes” is just so iconic. And Cameron Crowe is my favorite director of all time. If there were a sixth favorite film, it would have been Almost Famous."

This book is a collection of eight stories, told by an unknown narrator. Every story is empowering and unique. I really liked the strong will and determination these twelve-year-old girls showed. The princesses are diverse, and it was a real pleasure to read about different cultures.

The narratives are always changing, and the mirror is the only thing linking the stories together. I really enjoyed the turns and little twists in each story, as well as a little bit of sweet romance.
