Fairytale Beginnings (30 page)

Milly wrapped her arms and legs round him and kissed him hard, silencing any more of his protests. Eventually she pulled back.

‘It is perfect. I just married my soul mate, it doesn’t get any more perfect than that.’

He smiled, his face lit up by a hundred golden glowing lanterns floating above them and kissed her.

‘And they all lived happily ever after,’ she whispered against his lips.

you so much for reading
Fairytale Beginnings
, I had so much fun creating this story and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

One of the best parts of writing comes from seeing the reaction from readers. Did it make you smile or laugh, did it make you cry, hopefully happy tears? Did you fall in love with Cameron and Milly? Did you like the completely bonkers villagers of Clover’s Rest? If you enjoyed the story, I would absolutely love it if you could leave a short review. Getting feedback from readers is amazing and it also helps to persuade other readers to pick up one of my books for the first time.

To keep up-to-date with the latest news on my new releases, you can sign up to receive an email whenever I have a new book out here:

I promise to only contact you when I have a new book out and I’ll never share your email with anyone else.

I have two books out this Christmas set in the town of White Cliff Bay so here’s to more giggles and laughs and lots more gorgeously sweet love stories, coming soon.
