My Review for Some Guys Can't Handle Vegas by Liam O'Neill

⭐⭐⭐⭐ How I came about reading and reviewing ‘Some Guys Can’t Handle Vegas’ by Liam O’Neill is rather random and involved me contacting the author initially. I’m so pleased that I did.

My Review for I'm Your Man, by Paige Onsen

⭐⭐⭐⭐ When Paige contacted me and asked me if I would like to read and review her new book, ‘I’m Your Man’, I jumped at the chance because there is nothing I love more than an author getting in touch! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I am so glad I agreed to read it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only complaint? It wasn’t long enough!Rhea and Jason, two very diverse characters. Rhea is complicated and troubled, whereas Jason is simple...

My Review for From Shetland, With Love by Erin Green

⭐⭐⭐⭐  Dottie, Jemima and Melissa. Three different women, from differing backgrounds, but all come together for their love (or growing love) of gardening.Friendship, rivalry, subterfuge, and perhaps a blossoming of romance can be found amongst the allotment plots and amongst the pages of this delightful book. I laughed, I cringed, and I shouted at many of the characters’ antics as they went about their business on their allotments, many...

My Review for The Imperfect Art of Caring by Jessica Ryn, Read by Rebecca Cooper

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this so much, I just couldn’t stop listening! Violet Strong is bad news, a bad person with no friends, no career, and a mother who hates her. Or has she got all that wrong.....?What jumped out most to me about this book is how adept and compassionate Jessica Ryn is at describing many people with many caring needs. From adults with learning disabilities to elderly folk with Parkinsons, or a seemingly normal person on the...

My Review for The Arctic Curry Club by Dani Redd, Read by Zoha Rahman

⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Arctic Curry Club is a very busy book, with a lot going on. However, this didn’t take away anything from my enjoyment of it. On the contrary, it kept me entertained and guessing throughout.My only criticism is that some of the narrator’s pronunciations appeared to be incorrect, which irritated me somewhat.That aside, the story is well-written and addictive. Covering many subjects and situations, the author deals with family secrets,...

My Review for The Couple of Maple Drive, by Sam Carrington, read by Georgia Maguire,

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first experience of Sam Carrington’s books, and I loved this one. I listened to The Couple on Maple Drive as an audiobook and simply sped through it. Is there such a thing as an easygoing thriller? If there was, then this was it! Set in Torbay, on the Devon coast, there were lots of laid-back moments when Isla was attempting to discover the truth about what had happened to her, but equally, lots and lots of edge-of-the-seat...
