It’s only the second day of autumn (and co-incidentally, the second day in the year 227 of the French Republican Calendar – something that I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about!), but it’s time to start thinking about Christmas. Well, Christmassy books at least. They’ll be hitting the shelves soon so we all need to plan which ones we can fit into our pre-Christmas reading schedule. Everyone has to read at least a few Christmassy books every year, right?
And so I’m delighted to be joining in the cover reveal of a festive romcom, which is definitely one to consider putting on your tbr list:
The biggest snowfall in years has blanketed Sunnybrook, cutting the village off from the outside world. For Fen, who finds herself snowed in at The Little Duck Pond Cafe, it’s little more than a minor inconvenience. Her love life is finally running smoothly; it looks as if she’s found the perfect man for her.
But then a shocking secret threatens to destroy Fen’s new-found happiness.
Will being snowed in be the final straw? Or will Fen find a way through the snowdrifts to the perfect love?
And here’s the cover…
My thoughts
It’s a very eye-catching cover, and immediately gives off a chick lit vibe (or maybe in this case duckling vibe would be more appropriate) with the characteristic italic typeface so indelibly linked with this genre at present. The colours are friendly and inviting, the snowflakes and snowman atmospheric and the water fowl appealing. My only concern is for those poor little ducklings! I’m a bit of a crazy bird lady and on my very large smallholding I have a lot of poultry. Baby birds of any variety hatched in winter face an extremely tough time, which is why it’s rare occurrence naturally. So I shall take the view that these ducklings have an extremely cosy house somewhere in which they spend most of their day, and where they get a lot of the extra food they’ll need to keep warm and toasty, and I sincerely hope their mother won’t produce such a late brood again next year!
In summary, it’s a delightful cover.

About the author
Rosie Green has been scribbling stories ever since she was little. Back then they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by ‘the baddies’. Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile, with really not much perilous danger involved at all, unless you count the heroine losing her heart in love.
