My Review for The God of Good Looks by Breanne McIvor

It’s taken me a while to write the review for this because I didn’t really know what to put and, I’m sorry to say, that it put me into a reading slump, which I rarely experience. I think I did actually enjoy it, but it was far from what I expected and it took me a long while to get my head around what was going on - probably my fault and not the author’s, though. However, after checking out some reviews and seeing that others were loving it,...

My Review for A Secret Cornish Summer by Phillipa Ashley

I adore the cover of A Secret Cornish Summer, pastels and sea and cliffs and blue skies. Add this together with a beautifully written story and you’ve got a summer winner right here.I found this latest offering from Phillipa Ashley, full of thrills, spills and romance, and it was all set amongst an amazing backdrop in Cornwall, at the very bottom tip of the UK. I loved Eden, and I so much wanted her life to continue on the upward spiral she has found...

My Review for The Lonely Hearts Beach Club by Amy Miller

The publication of The Lonely Hearts Beach Club, came at the same time as I was watching ‘Britain’s Best Beach Huts’ and I found myself comparing the ones they highlighted on TV, with Hattie’s beach hut in the book. Hattie’s won every time. Who wants a beach hut that is actually a sauna, or one that costs half a million pounds?! Nope, give me a proper, old-fashioned hut on a promenade any day of the week!After her husband passes away, Hattie needs...

My Review for Second Chances for the Lifeboat Sisters by Tilly Tennant

I read the first two books in the new Lifeboat Sisters series, back-to-back, and thoroughly enjoyed them both.

Will she stay in Port Promise? You’ll have to read the book to find out.I didn’t find Clara quite as endearing as Ava, and at times I wanted to tell her...

My Review for The Lifeboat Sisters by Tilly Tennant

I loved this new series by Tilly Tennant and devoured the first two books in a couple of days. The first in the series is The Lifeboat Sisters and is Ava's story. Ava is the youngest Morrow sister and is determined to follow in her late father's footsteps and volunteer for the local lifeboat service. However other members of her family have reservations. Does Ava stand up for her beliefs, or does she go along with others' wishes?I cried at this book...

My Review for Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

Role Playing is a lovely read that pulled me in right from the beginning. I’m sure that I could be Maggie without the gaming, and Bogwitch is such a great online name. Who wouldn’t want to get to know her? I spent some of the beginning of the book, wondering whether I should actually give gaming a go. Then when I realised that yes, the majority of players probably are teenage lads, then I decided it maybe wasn’t the best idea!I loved that both Maggie...
