Author Links: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads I am lucky enough to have a wonderful excerpt to share with you avid readers. Check it out: Excerpt: Clio, I hope the bridal expo goes off without a hitch. Have I told you yet that I’m glad you came home? Life was never really the same after you left. Looking forward to that dinner whenever you’re free. Timothy x Life was never really the same? But he got married and had a family about three minutes after I was out of sight! I’m sure I wasn’t on his mind one little bit. I didn’t hold any grudge or strong feeling about it – we’d been so young, really. But still, he had moved on fairly quickly. Would something bloom between us if I just let go and lived for the moment? The same niggle bothered me. Kai. Even if nothing happened with him, would it be fair to date Timothy when secretly my heart beat a double rhythm when I thought of my Australian surfer guru? Taking my cell, I hastily sent Timothy a thank you text back, avoiding any talk about the dinner date invitation. This was why I loved work. Being busy gave me the ability to shelve any boy dilemma and focus on the task at hand. I found a crystal vase and took the bouquet to my office. That done, I went back to the ballroom and checked off my list. Every vendor was accounted for, set up and ready to go. Isla and Micah had the activities organized. Aunt Bessie was getting her donuts out of the van and ready to serve… so what was I missing? I’d forgotten something, I could feel it. I wandered around the tables we’d set up in different themes, lifting champagne flutes, checking for smudges. The cutlery was lined up perfectly reflecting prisms of light from the chandeliers. Georges would serve canapes as soon as the guests – Georges! Normally he’d be singing and bellowing in the kitchen, foodie scents wafting down the hallway making my mouth water, but I hadn’t seen him arrive yet. I dashed down the hall to check. The kitchen was empty, not a pot on the stove and more worryingly not a sign of Georges. Snatching up the phone I called him, picturing the worst – a car crash, the roads were slippery this time of year. My heart was in my throat by the time he answered on the third ring. “Hi Clio, did you get my message? I’m sorry to let you down like this, but I couldn’t say no, you understand, don’t you?” Blood drained from my face as I checked my watch. Three hours until our brides were due and my chef was telling me he wasn’t coming. Trying to halt the erratic beat of my heart I said, “What message, Georges? Where are you?” REVIEW
Clio is determined to make the bridal expo at her beloved Cedarwood Lodge a resounding success, no matter how many sleepless nights it takes. But with such a great crew and her best friend Amory from New York staying with her, what can go wrong? After all, Cedarwood has this undeniable magic that makes you feel alive. But life is never that straightforward. Her best friend is running away from love, her childhood sweetheart seems intent on rekindling their past, her chef disappears on the morning of the expo, and the one man who gives her butterflies is unlikely to stay in Cedarwood past Christmas. Throw in a mystery surrounding her detached mother and the lodge which everyone in town seems determined to keep secret, and the holiday season has become a lot more interesting for Clio, who is about to find out that timing is everything. BRIDES & BOUQUETS AT CEDARWOOD LODGE by Rebecca Raisin is part two of this enchanting tale, and once again I completely fell under the lodge's spell. With plenty of disasters, misunderstandings, friendships and love, this series has got everything you could want in a good book. I love Clio and her desire to make everything right for everybody that she comes across, even if she does shy away from risking her own heart. The group as a whole make me smile as we get to experience proper friendships, in good times and bad, with love and loyalty at every turn. This is a heartwarming series that I know I will re-read time and again, and I cannot wait for the third instalment!!!! BOOK RATING - 📖📖📖📖📖 5+ I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rebecca Raisin and LRR Promotions for allowing me to be a part of this exciting blog tour.
