I was a bit afraid by the title but since the first pages I was deep inside the book and could hardly put it down . Great book on “how we can imagine someone and discover she was different from our dream “ Down to earth book as the daughters have problems to deal with as in everyday life .. My favorite character is Amanda as she has changed a lot during the book and we discover lots of things on her and she succeed in dealing with them ..

book review ; chocolate wishes from trisha Ashely

I gave 5/5

Chloé and her family are moving to Sticklepond . It’s a new start for her say the cards she usually read with Zillah . Her shop of chocolate wishes works well and she is happy with that . Her grand father Grumps plans to open a pagan museum in the village but most of the people are religious so they are against the family in the village .. But maybe there will be a chance as a new vicar will be coming soon and Grumps hopes he will be more open to his ideas which are not against religious point of view . Chloe’s friends are members of the church’s committee that’s why she knows all about that .. One day she met one of her ex boyfriend David .Maybe it’s the change that the cards have talked about she thought . She wants them to be friend but not more but he thinks differently . Of course they were on the way to get married when he dropped her . What is her surprise when she learns that the new vicar is no one else than Raffy Sainclair her first love .The one she never forgive to have let her down to go on tour with his famous band . Will Cloe and her family be accepted in the village? Will Cloe succeed in forgiving and giving a new start to her 2 exes ? Will be a more serious threat than Grumps in Sticklepond ? As usual I love Trisha Ashley books and this one is not an exception. We find the lovely theme of cooking much more on chocolate this time. The idea of including pagan ideas was nice . I loved the reading cards too it is quite a nice theme in this book . The love story is well introduced as usual and comes slowly in the book . As usual we learn about the village gossiping ; which is funny . I really enjoy Chloé and Raffy story .They are both sweet to me and I loved seing them being friends again . Grumps was a bit mysterious to me as we don’t hear much about him except that he wants to open his museum and that he writes books Nice book as usual ;) Thx trisha

Book review : trust me , I’m a vet from Catherine woodman

I gave 5/5

City vet Maz Harwood has to replace her friend Emma at her Otter House Veterinary Clinic. So she arrives and tries to do her best ..but there is another vet clinic, the manor owned by the Fox-Giffords, there who doesn’t want to cooperate. Maz will learn that it is not easy to deal with the clients of those 2 vets clinics especially when the animals take so much place in their owner’s hearts. It won’t be easy when love comes into that and when Maz meets Alex (the son of the owner of the other clinic) . She doesn’t know what to think . It appears to Maz that Otter House is not in good health too and that she needs to do something to save this clinic. Why are friend Emma didn’t told her that her clinic was under debts ? Will Maz succeed in saving this clinic ? Will Maz the city vet will succeed in being happy in this village and to be accepted ? The vet’s life is really well described and I do hope that in real life vets can see some good results. As here it is really sad news over sad news. But we see that Maz does her job with lots of love. I thought that the reaction of the inhabitants of talyton is well described with the arrival of a “stranger” in their place . I was close to crying when I saw how some pets arrived at the Otter house .. I would recommend this book to animal lovers despite the bad ending of some pets. The love story between Maz and Alex comes slowly into that book and is well described .. It was my first book of Catherine woodman and I’m going to read the next one ..
