Review: The Bookshop of Second Chances by Jackie Fraser



Blurb from Goodreads:
Thea’s having a bad month. Not only has she been made redundant, she’s also discovered her husband of nearly twenty years is sleeping with one of her friends. And he’s not sorry – he’s leaving.
 
Bewildered and lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But, when she learns the great-uncle she barely knew has died and left her his huge collection of second-hand books and a house in the Scottish Lowlands, she seems to have been offered a second chance.
 
Running away to a little town where no one knows her seems like exactly what Thea needs. But when she meets the aristocratic Maltravers brothers – grumpy bookshop owner Edward and his estranged brother Charles, Lord Hollinshaw – her new life quickly becomes just as complicated as the life she was running from...
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book -- such a feel good book in a delightful Scottish setting!  I immediately connected to Thea and adored reading about her new life working in a bookshop in a small Scottish town. I will say this was a bit longer than most other books in this genre but it wasn't wasted on me.  If you are looking for a book to make you feel good with some romance, reinvention and 💓, this is the book for you!!

The Bookshop of Second Chances comes out next week on May 4, 2021, you can purchase HERE!  I really loved this one and definitely recommend it!
Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Three weeks since I lost my job--made redundant and turned out of my office with no notice--and ten days since my husband Chris, henceforth known as "that bastard," left me.

Review: The Lost Letters from Martha's Vineyard by Michael Callahan

The Lost Letters from Martha's Vineyard by Michael Callahan Blurb from Goodreads : A tantalizing novel of two women bound by blood but divided by a long-buried secret, and the island that holds the key to the fateful summer that changed everything forever. In 1959, Hollywood ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. Far removed from her Nebraska roots, she has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director… Until she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off. Almost sixty years later, Kit O’Neill, a junior television producer in Manhattan, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother’s attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that the grandmother who raised her and her sister Claire was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles.
