Today there will be not 1 but 2 giveaways coming up on the blog, the first which of is for this bundle of goodies which includes a copy of After the Rain by Lucy Dillon and a few extras treats.

After the storm it's time for a fresh start . . .

First, the clouds... 
Tara Hunter is a therapist on a mission to restore Longhampton's community spirit after catastrophic flooding. But with her boyfriend AWOL, her family fragmented, and only a cat for company, Tara's own life is crumbling.

Then the storm... 
On top of everything, Tara's father - last seen as he walked out on her when she was ten years old - is suddenly back, with a surprising offer that could change everything.

And after the rain... 
Dr David Dalloway is Longhampton Wellness Centre's new star counsellor. He's charming, caring and has a knack for reading people's minds - which is the last thing Tara needs right now. Will having David and her dad around make for a bigger storm on the horizon? Or is this Tara's chance for a fresh start?

Reviewed by Emma Crowley

What happens when 'I do' turns into 'I don't know'?

Jeannie always wanted to fall in love, and now she’s finally got the whirlwind romance she dreamed of. Dan’s gorgeous, he’s a successful young vet, and he flew her to New York and proposed on Brooklyn Bridge. Jeannie has to remind herself this is actually her life. It seems too perfect, too magical, to be real. Yet it is.

But now she’s on her way to the wedding she can’t shake off the tight sensation crushing her chest. Is it just nerves . . . or is this all happening a bit too fast?

Jeannie has one last chance to shout, ‘Stop!’ But just as she grabs it, a twist of fate throws everything she knows into the air like confetti. What Jeannie learns about Dan, about her own heart, and about the power of love itself, will change her world for ever . . .

Giveaway: Win a copy of A Hundred Pieces of Me by Lucy Dillon

One of the books that has been sat waiting patiently on my Kindle for me to read was A Hundred Pieces of Me by Lucy Dillon and having recently finished reading it I'm kicking myself that I did not read it sooner!

As well as receiving an ecopy of the book I was also sent a paperback copy so I've decided to offer it up as a giveaway prize for one of my followers to round off this publisher feature week.

Letters from the only man she's ever truly loved.
A keepsake of the father she never really knew.
A blue glass vase that catches the light on a grey day.

Books Read: Lucy Dillon - The secret of happy ever after

Source - Bought (Tesco)

When Anna takes over Longhampton's bookshop, it's her dream come true.  And not just because it gets her away from her rowdy stepchildren and their hyperactive Dalmation.

As she unpacks boxes of childhood classics, Anna can't shake the feeling that maybe her own fairytale ending isn't all that she'd hoped for.  But as the stories of love, adventure, secret gardens and giant peaches breathe new life into the neglected shop.  Anna and her customers get swept up in the magic too.

Even Anna's best friend Michelle - who categorically doesn't believe in true love and handsome princes - isn't immune.

But when secrets from Michelle's own childhood come back to haunt her, and disaster threatens Anna's home, will the wisdom and charm of the stories in the bookshop help the two friends - and those they love - find their own happy ever after?
