My Review for The Plot Twist by Victoria Walters

I loved this. It is a book written about people who love books, huge bookshelves, publishers, authors and best of all, a book that mentions us, reviewers and how much we love the acknowledgement we get when someone wants us to read a copy of their book first!Stevie is brilliant. She’s independent, knows what she wants and is pretty determined she isn’t going to take any shit from anyone, particularly not a man who walked away from her five years...

My Review for Tangled Power by Jillian Witt

Tangled Power is the second book in the Compass Points series, and we return to Compass Lake. This time around we meet Juliette who is the Osten Point and Carter, the Vesten Point. Along with Luc and Rose who we got to know in the first book (Suden Point and Norden Point respectively). Together they are on a mission to find and defeat one of the Gods and they must pool their power and weapons in order to do this. Can they all put aside their differences...

My Review for One of A Kind by Jane Lovering

I finished this book yesterday afternoon, and I’m still unsure what to make of it - in a good way. Was it a romance, cosy mystery, thriller? I think I’ll plump for all three, probably in equal measure! Whatever it is, I enjoyed it immensely. Character-wise, I found it slow to begin with, whereas the plot moved forward pretty quickly. Once I realised that Ivo had ADHD, everything about him made a lot more sense, and I found him quirky and loveable....

My Review for It Had to Be You by Beth Moran

I loved Beth’s latest book, It Had to Be You. You can tell right from the beginning that the subject matter is very close to the author’s heart and firsthand experience. I laughed a lot while reading, but I also cringed at some of the squeamish parts. I’m not sure I’d be very good at delivering a baby - too much mess for me!As well as some fun and romance, Beth included many difficult topics in the book, such as teenage pregnancies, parental abuse...

My Review for The Riviera House Swap by Gillian Harvey

If you’ve seen The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet (my most favourite movie ever btw), then you’ll be familiar with what a house swap entails. It does exactly what it says on the tin - two people swap houses - anywhere in the world - for an agreed amount of time. This is exactly what The Riviera House Swap is. I read most of this in one day, when it was pouring with rain outside, on the east coast of England, when it’s supposed to...

My Review for Second Chances at the Board Game Cafe by Jennifer Page

I seem to be on a roll for books that I’m loving. Second Chances at the Board Game Cafe was so lovely and cute, from beginning to end. All the characters were brilliant and the author highlights how even the most unusual and let’s face it, what a lot of people would consider boring, hobbies, can be fun and engaging if you find like-minded people to enjoy them with. Harry is brilliant, he loves trains and board games and dull coloured clothes, but...

My Review for Bring Me Sunshine by Alex Brown

Bring Me Sunshine is my kind of book, made even more so because the protagonist is round about my age. When you’ve experienced peri-menopause and all the delights that go with it, who doesn’t want to read all about it with the humour that Alex brings to it?A book filled with fun and laughter, sunshine and tears. Bring Me Sunshine is just a delight to read. So often, when I’m reading, I can imagine myself escaping dreary England and living in the...

My Review for Under a Summer Skye by Sue Moorcroft

I really enjoyed Under a Summer Skye, the first in a new series by Sue Moorcroft. As Sue introduces us to a host of new characters, including Thea, Dev and Essie, I couldn’t wait to read more about them. I love the outdoors and gardening, so any book with these themes included is always a win for me. I live in England, and Scotland and Skye are definitely on the list of places I would like to visit. Sue has just reinforced that, and made me...

My Review for Transcended by Ingrid J. Adams

OMG, this was amazing! I loved Descended, which was the first book in this series and I loved Transcended even more. I love how when you begin to read the book; it seems as though it is all about normal people, living normal, everyday lives. Then you realise that many of the characters have some sort of power, whether telepathy, empath or healing powers. Then, of course, there are the covens and the warlocks! I cannot begin to explain how invested...
