My Sisters Baby written by Louise Guy and published by Boldwood Books

 

 

Sisters Liv and Toni were once inseparable. While their parents focused on Mandy, their little sister with special needs, the two older sisters leaned on each other for love, support and security.

When they were in their teens, and Liv needed a lifesaving operation, it was Toni who stepped up to the plate and helped her. As they grew up, their lives took different paths. They live in different cities and rarely see each other. But now it’s Toni who needs help from Liv. Because she’s desperate for a baby…

When Liv finds herself in a situation where she could help Toni fulfil her dream, she wants more than anything to say yes. But Liv is keeping a dark secret. And she can’t help but wonder – is giving a baby to her sister the right thing to do… or will it destroy their family forever?

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book, but very quickly I got sucked into the story, and thought, "Oh I know where this is going" and then suddenly - oh no I didn't!!! A complete curve ball was thrown in!! I was thinking all different people were the "baddies" but they weren't and turned out just to be helpful friends.

A really nice read and as it was set in Australia, it was nice to feel the sun on my face, albeit, through the pages of the book!

This year, after an impulsive conversation with her friend June, she decides to escape the Big Apple and spend the holidays in a quaint village in the UK. However, upon arriving at her rental cottage, she finds not the cozy, firelit haven that she imagined, but a dilapidated, dust-covered wreck—with no welcome basket of goodies in sight! Now faced with the dilemma of either enduring the festive season or heading back home, Cassie is torn. Enter two charming men: Charles, the dashing "lord of the manor," and Ryan, a lively Irishman who seems to have done more than kiss the Blarney Stone!   As someone with strong Irish roots, with parents from a small village in Cork, I absolutely loved this book.
