I am excited to be on the blog tour for Florence Keeling’s new novel, Love, Lies and Family Ties!
And I love to be able to support authors whom I have met with and interact with regularly. I was lucky enough to meet Florence at the MeetCute Festival in June!
The Blurb
A heartwarming, feel good romantic comedy. ‘I absolutely adored this book. It gave me all the feels! A charming read full of warmth and heart.’ ***** Kim the Bookworm
Bea Winters is in desperate need of a fresh start. Being bullied at work is not her idea of fun and she longs to follow her dream of becoming a published author. When an advert appears in her local paper to work in a publishing house in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale, it sounds too good to be true.
She strikes up an instant friendship with gorgeous aspiring author, Eddie Richards and her dashing millionaire boss Scott Summers. But all isn’t as it seems in the sleepy village of Bloomsdale.
How does the local clairvoyant know her name? Who does the little black dog that keeps appearing belong to and why does she keep bumping into the mysterious Charlie?
As she starts to unravel the truth, it seems that everyone in Bea’s life is keeping secrets.
An uplifting romantic comedy that will warm your heart – perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Milly Johnson and Carole Matthews.
My Review
Love, Lies and Family Ties by Florence Keeling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. In fact, I spent the day lying on the sofa, lapping it up!
Bea is in a bit of a rut. She is in a job where progression doesn’t appear to be a possibility, and her home life isn’t much to write home about. Her dream of becoming an author looks destined to stay just that.
A chance opportunity prompts her to uproot from the Midlands and resettle in Yorkshire, where she ends up working for a publisher and living on a boat.
Bea meets many people who have interesting connections to one another, and although she is still not in her ideal situation, she finds inspiration and writes.
I don’t want to give lots away, but it’s safe to say that there are so many secrets and subtle lies that tie her to a place she had never really known existed before coming to live there.
And there is someone for her, there, but who is it, exactly?
I love that Bea’s past creeps up on her and how the twists and turns slowly reveal themselves, making for a fantastic read!
