My Review for Storm From Within by Madeline Vaughn

Another great read from Madeline Vaughn for the next book in the Emily Fallon series. Storm From Within continues the story of the dodgy US Navy guys who think they are above the law, not stopping to continue with their villainous ways and woe betide anyone who gets in their way. Unfortunately, Emily is already in their way....I love Emily. She’s a feisty main character who won’t stop until her family is safe and the bad people are on their way to...

My Review for The Last Train Home by Elle Cook

I really enjoyed The Last Train Home. It was an easygoing, cute read that made me feel all warm and cosy the more I read. Abbie and Tom are great main characters and Elle tells the story from both points of view, flipping from one to the other.Meeting on a train late one evening, their lives are thrown together in the worst way possible and from there, things get better, then worse, then better again with loads of life-changing events happening to...

My Review for Death Before Dishonor by Madeline Vaughn

I really enjoyed this fast-paced military thriller and Emily, our protagonist, is a force to be reckoned with. Everything in this book surrounds the US Navy. Something has been going down and people have died, and now Emily and her friends and family need to find out what’s going on before worse happens.Emily Fallon is very family-orientated, but she’s also a badass who will do almost anything to protect that family. She is very capable of looking...

My Review for All in Monte Carlo by Anna Shilling

I wasn’t sure about this book when I started reading it, but it just got better and better, although I’m not sure I’ve read anything like this before! After I finished it, I did a bit of Googling, and although I knew before I started that it was based on true events, I didn’t understand how the book worked.So basically, Anna Shilling is a pen name for four women living in Monte Carlo. They tell their stories of betrayal, and setting up a book club...

My Review for The Last Line by Stephen Ronson

I love reading historical fiction, particularly anything which revolves around World War II, and this was no exception. Set in a small town in Sussex, close to Brighton, John Cook fought in World War I and now, during the Second World War, he becomes part of an auxiliary unit in the countryside, ready to take on the Germans, should they manage to get across the English Channel.Considering the subject matter, The Last Line was pretty lighthearted...

My Review for Such A Loving Couple by Hayley Smith

Well, this was the second ****** up book in a row that I’ve read, with such a brilliant plot that I couldn’t put it down. I was desperate to just read and read and read so I could discover how everything would pan out.It’s not often books cause me to talk out loud, but this one did. A lot! Usually in relation to Freddie, who was a complete cockwomble (Google that word if you don’t know what it means, it’s my word of the moment)! It was scary how...

My Review for We All Keep Secrets by Sheryl Browne

I finished the last page of this book, placed my Kindle down and said, out loud, ‘Well that was ****** up’! I’ve never read anything quite like this, but I loved every single moment. I didn’t know what to expect when I turned a page, but I didn’t expect what happened to happen.We All Keep Secrets is written from multiple viewpoints, numerous times, often telling the same story three times over, from Ellie, the childminder and also from Jake and Megan,...

My Review for Snowed In by Catherine Walsh

Snowed In is a cute, fun, wintery read, set in Ireland. I read most of the book, snuggled up in front of a wood burner, whilst Storm Ciaran was battering the UK. The snow, a cabin in the woods and festive Christmas cheer were much more fun than what was going on outside the window at home, so I imagined myself there instead.I loved Megan and Christian, our two protagonists, who bantered their way into my heart very quickly. They were so good together,...

My Review for The Rutland Connection by Michael Dane

What an amazing read this was! The Rutland Connection was absolutely brilliant and so cleverly written. I loved it from start to finish. It is predominantly told from three viewpoints, that of John Pyke - the dodgy drug dealer, and Bernard and Michael, grandfather and grandson.A Customs and Excise team are in the throes of investigating John Pyke as a drug runner, along with his two idiot sidekicks who haven’t got a clue, and Pyke isn’t that much...
