Review: A Rose Petal Summer by Katie Fforde



Blurb from Goodreads:
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FALL IN LOVE...

Caro Swanson has taken a job in a remote part of Scotland.

She’s answered an ad in The Lady: being a companion to an elderly gentleman who lives in a country estate could be perfect! Surely it's time to make a change and do something different for a while?

The fact that she may also see Alec, the young man who she met some years previously and who she has always thought of as her ‘one who got away’, is of course purely incidental.

Soon Caro is falling in love - not only with Alec but with the stunning country house she's now living in. But the estate is in financial difficulties, and Caro soon realises there's only one way to rescue it.

So begins a magical romantic summer, one that will take Caro from Scotland to London and the south of France, in search of a classic lost perfume that might just restore all their fortunes.
 
This was good and made me think about perfume in a way I hadn't before. I do always love the relationships and characters that Katie Fforde creates. I liked the Scottish setting for a lot of this book as well as the parts set in Grasse, France.  Definitely recommend this for a fun, light and romantic read!!

A Rose Petal Summer comes out next week on April 19, 2022 and you can purchase HERE.  I've read and reviewed a lot of books by Katie Fforde, some of which you can find HERE.
Caro pulled her jersey over her knees knowing she should just be sensible and have an early  night. She'd said her goodbyes to her friends who were having drinks not far away, and she had a cab booked for five in the morning to get her over to the other side of the Greek island where she'd been staying to catch the ferry to the mainland and the airport.

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): Should There Be ARCs?

First of all, thank you SO much for reading my very first "discussion" post .  The response was so amazing and I am so grateful to each and every one of you that took the time to read it.  I would like to preface my next discussion post in the same way -- nothing is new and I'm sure that this topic has been discussed by someone, somewhere but this is what is on my mind: SHOULD THERE BE ARCs? Truly, not everything I think about and write about is regarding Maggie Stiefvater's epic series, The Raven Cycle , but it just so happens that this discussion post will mention this series, too.   Those of us that are obsessed with this series (like me) know that there will not be any ARCs for the highly (HIGHLY) anticipated last book of this series, The Raven King . There will be no ARCs (advanced reader copies). Y'all are just going to have to trust me. https://t.co/xYDv0q1tXN — Maggie Stiefvater (@mstiefvater) December 5, 2015 Oddly, I think this ...
