Book Synopsis:
Autumn 1920. When Bernard Cavalier, a flamboyant London artist, marries Evie Brunton, a beautiful Devon post lady, everyone expects a happy ending. But Evie misses cycling down country lanes, delivering the mail, and is finding it hard to adapt to her new life among Mayfair’s high society. Meanwhile Bernard, now a well-known artist, is struggling to give up his bachelor ways.
The Wrong Direction is as light and witty as The Wrong Envelope, with racy characters and a fast-paced plot. Wild parties, flirtatious models, jealous friends – Bernard and Evie must negotiate many twists and turns if they are to hold on to each other…
The Wrong Envelope is available in ebook and paperback now. You can see a copy of both using the link below.
My Review:
I was a big fan of this author’s first book so I was incredibly excited to be invited onto the blog tour for the sequel. It was so nice to catch up with the fabulous Bernard and Evie again and to to see what happens next for them.
The story starts where The Wrong Envelope left of and we catch up with the couple as they are newly married but struggling with married life. I liked how realistic this bit was as I think it would have been easy for the author to write a happy ever after, sugar coated ending. Instead the characters struggle to fit into their new roles, lives and how to live together which is true with real life.
Once again my favourite character out of the two of them was Bernard who it’s hard not to love. I think I felt a lot of sympathy for him as he is accident probe like me and very good at putting his foot in it without meaning to, which I’m also good at. However he has a heart of gold and doesn’t mean any harm which made him easy to like.
The author’s easy style just drew me back into the story and the characters lives like I hadn’t left it. I felt at times like I was watching an old black and white movie as the story had a nostalgic feel to it. The 20s has always been one of my for favourite eras so I enjoyed the descriptions of life back then. I found myself fully absorbed in the book and want to keep reading to find out what happens to the couple. I really hope this isn’t the last we’ll see if Evie and Bernard.
Huge thanks to Kelly from Love Books Group for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
