Publication Day Spotlight & Review: The Weekend Getaway by Hannah Ellis


The Weekend Getaway by Hannah Ellis

A weekend away changes everything…

The chemistry between Keira and Noah is instant. After their first date, it’s clear there’s something special between them.

A weekend in Noah’s hometown further cements their feelings, and Keira falls head over heels. Not only for Noah, but his close-knit family and the stunning Isles of Scilly.

There’s just one problem: Noah’s about to move back home and his plans can’t be altered.

It’s too early in their relationship to make life-changing plans, but if they stand a chance of being together, one of them is going to have to take a leap of faith.

Can love triumph over location? And when following your heart, how far should you go?

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Isles of Scilly, The Weekend Getaway is the first instalment of what promises to be an unforgeable series.

Keira, a digital marketing specialist, has had her eye on Noah for a while. He’s a barman at the local pub, she visits regularly with her flatmate, Mel. He’s definitely her highlight of the week when he’s serving on a Sunday evening. When Mel, sees that her friend and Noah are attracted to each other, she makes it her duty to get them together. Not surprisingly, they hit it off, but is this just a one-off date, or could it lead to something more?

Noah’s favourite shifts at the pub are when Keira is around. So, when her friend Mel, suggests he should ask her out, phone numbers are exchanged and a date is set up. However, his feelings are conflicted about whether he should tell Keira he’s leaving Bristol…

Secrets and family play a huge part in Keira and Noah's story as the pair get to know each other. Communication and lack thereof, play a part as presumptions and misinformation threaten to spoil not only their relationship but also with family members too. In addition, the pair have some life-changing decisions to make within a short time span, yet somehow, it all comes together perfectly.

I liked the contrast between both their families; Keira is an only child and Noah has four brothers. They are different, but both have their share of problems… relatable issues, so it’s easy for a reader to understand the emotions attached to each incident.

This is the first novel I’ve read by Ms. Ellis and I enjoyed how effortless it was for me to read this book in one sitting. Overall, a delightfully entertaining novel with a terrific cast of characters and a beautiful setting.

Cover Reveal: Just One Day by Susan Buchanan


Just One Day – Spring by Susan Buchanan

Mum-of-three Louisa thought she only had her never-ending to-do list to worry about, but the arrival of a ghost from the recent past puts her in an untenable position. Can she navigate the difficult situation she’s in without their friendship becoming common knowledge or will it cause long-term damage to her marriage?

When a family member begins to suspect there’s more to her relationship with the new sous-chef than meets the eye, Louisa needs to think on her feet or she’ll dig herself into a deeper hole. But the cost of keeping her secret, not only from her husband, comes at a high price, one which tugs at her conscience.

With everyday niggles already causing a further rift between Louisa and husband Ronnie, will she manage to keep her family on track whilst her life spirals out of control? And when tragedy strikes, will Ronnie step up when she needs him most?

For fans of Fiona Gibson, Holly Martin and Jill Mansell.
