Last Orders at the Star and Si
This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Simon and Schuster for my copy of this book and for letting me take part in this tour. I love Holly's writing style, I absolutely adored the first series at The Star and Sixpence and A Year at Castle Court. I was so excited to return to Little Monkham.
The Star and Sixpence is going from strength to strength and sisters Sam and Nessie have just hired chef Gabe. Not only is Gabe a top-notch chef he is also pretty easy on the eye. There is an instant attraction between Sam and Gabe but after what happened with Joss, Sam is more than cautious. I was really rooting for these two from the beginning. They have a lot in common and its clear they feel something for each other.
Gabe isn't the only new character in this series. We also meet Laurie. I was pretty suspicious of Laurie from the off. There was something about him that I just didn't trust. Laurie clearly has a lot of unresolved issues.
Nessie and Owen go through a really tough time in this book. My heart was breaking for them. It's such a tough thing to go through. I think Holly did an excellent job with these scenes.
It was also great to catch up with the other residents of Little Monkam and see how they have been getting on.
Holly took me through a lot of emotions in this book. I was crying and laughing right along with our main characters.
It was wonderful to return to Little Monkham and I can't wait to see where Holly takes us next.
