Raving About Rhys by Jessica Redland
4.0
Callie is happy with her life. She works as a carer at Bayview Nursing Home which she loves apart from one thing, her boss, Denise or as she calls her The She-Devil. She also thinks she’s found her perfect man in Tony who at forty five is old enough to be her dad. At almost a year together he’s last longer than all of her other relationships. But the cracks in her relationship start to show when a resident called Ruby says she knows Tony from somewhere and she is caught in a comprising position by the hunky new gardener Mikey. What is Tony hiding?
So I’ve decided to dip my toe back into a bit of romantic comedy, to have little break from all the murder and bloodshed I’ve been reading lately.
I read this lovely novella in just one day, I didn’t want to stop (happily there are three subsequent books, one of which I will be reading soon, Searching for Steven).
From the cover I was kind of expecting a bit of light-hearted fluff but this story goes so much deeper than that! The characters are complex and flawed, with a compelling storyline, all set against the backdrop of a seaside town makes it a perfect summer read.
I liked Callie, she’s such a big hearted and caring person, even towards her boss, who is absolutely horrible to her, starts acting strangely she still wants to help her. But I kept wishing for her to have a bit more confidence in herself!
Elderly resident Ruby I have to say is my favourite character. She funny, sweet and bit racy at time with her stories from the old days.
Yes the story line may have been a little predictable but the author makes it her own and I am really looking forward to reading her next novel Searching for Steven.
