The Orange Grove by Rosanna Ley-Book Review

 Sun,Sea,Sand and Marmalade!



The Orange Grove is a stand alone novel by Rosanna Ley.The story centres around Holly and her parents Ella and Felix.Holly decided to set up her own business and goes on a business trip to Seville with her mum to source products,and in just a few days Holly’s life is changed forever.

The book is written in flashback form,going between Holly’s adventures in Seville and,Ella’s time there years before.


All the characters in the book are well rounded and believable,but my favourite character was Ella.I really loved her story,and I liked the plot twist towards the end of the book.

My favourite part of the book was the chapters written in flash back form,they complimented the modern day story perfectly.

There is a slight unfinished thread to the story in last few pages and I would love to know what happened next.I think there could be room for another book telling that story possibly.

This book overall is a great piece of escapist fiction,perfect for taking on holiday.

Bookworm rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

  Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about th...

A New Dawn Over Mulberry Lane is Book 8 in the Mulberry Lane Series,this book can be read as a standalone novel.This story focuses on Dr Shirley,Maggie,Freddie,Fay and Jon,Peggy and Maureen’s Children and grandchildren.

  The Stranded -By Sarah Daniels Rebellion,Corruption and the Coalies!! The Stranded by Sarah Daniels is a standalone futuristic novel set in 2094.The story set aboard the Arcadia ship,where passengers have been stranded for years due to fears of a deadly virus. My favourite character are Esther and May Crossland,they are both strong female’s who stand up for what they believe in. All the characters felt real and you have real empathy for the passengers on the ship. My favourite scene is when Esther decides to help the rebellion and finally everyone realises she is more like her sister May then they realised. The book had me gripped from the beginning and I was rooting for the rebellion to succeed . Despite not being a genre I usually read,I absolutely loved this book.it was fast paced and kept my interest the whole way through.A real page turner This book is listed as a young adult but is suitable for the general adult market too and would appeal to anyone who likes futuristic boo...
