Release Blitz: Cock & Bull by Laura Barnard + 5* review


Title: Cock & Bull
Author: Laura Barnard
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 28, 2020

Synopsis

Who knew that owning a pub would come with so many extras?

When Phoebe and Ella Bellerose left England behind to run the Irish pub they’d inherited, it sounded like a great adventure… until they saw for themselves what a wreck they’d been left.

With no experience, a severe lack of money, and a rival pub owner threatening to ruin them, the two girls aren’t convinced they can actually make this work.

Not until they meet Clooney Breen, who just so happens to be packed with charm, charisma, and barman skills that could help them all survive. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s the son of Cock & Bull’s biggest rival, and he’s desperate to help Ella and Phoebe teach his father a lesson.

But can mysterious Clooney, with his obvious secrets and desire to be their saviour, really be trusted? Or are they being played by this handsome lothario who seems too good to be true? Their problems only seem to grow and grow, until Phoebe discovers a ‘gift’ of her own that changes everything for all of them…

My Review

*ARC received in return for an honest review


Before I tell you what a great book this is, I feel I must issue a health warning...do NOT eat or drink whilst reading as there may be a possible risk of choking due to sudden bursts of uncontrollable laughter. 


Okay, now that's out the way I have to say what an absolute joy Cock & Bull was to read!! If you're in need of a laugh right now, I can highly recommend this for your next read. It's the perfect rom/com to lift you up.


I am a huge fan of Laura Barnard's, I can always rely on her to make me laugh and I definitely did with this book. I couldn't stop laughing over the hilarious predicaments and situations Phoebe found herself in. A couple of times I nearly choked as I was eating at the time, hence the warning above!


What I love about Laura's books is that no matter who, or what she writes about, you can't help but relate to her off-the-wall brand of humour. There is always at least one scene where you find yourself thinking out loud, "I've said/done that!" 


Phoebe and Clooney made the perfect couple. I adored the banter between them, they made me laugh so much, although there were also some emotional scenes that made me hurt for them both. 


I’m hoping there will be more books to follow as I feel there is more fun to be had with these characters and more to explore. 


My rating...
