Magical






I was intrigued by this book, having not read book one was a little unsure.I was not disappointed. This gave the reader enough of the story line to follow book 2.
A princess who thought she was human and yet is a troll who looks like a troll and presumably acts like one too ( not sure how a troll should act)

The princess has magical powers but require to be unleashed - thus this is essentially the story but hey it works and I enjoyed this style of writing too.

Great romance

Between Hope & the Highway


I was asked by Inspired by Kathy to review this book. Was not sure what to expect. But loved this book. OMG a lot of emotion. The author has written her characters and they are so real. What I enjoyed was the fact that this story was complicated - choices to be made, redemption and forgiveness all thrown into the melting pot. 

Recommended and I will certainly be following this author.

Lovely Festive Read

Christmas Kisses & Wishes (The Christmas Love List Book 2) by [Kleve,Sharon]

I have really been getting into the festive spirit- Christmas cake made, cards written and presents wrapped as much as I can. So as a reward I read Sharon Kleve Book. The author kindly asked if I wanted to review - yes please I said.

As with all of Sharon's books I loved it. The characters are lovely-  Finn is a writer  and is trying to find herself following a divorce. She seeks a fresh start with her dog in the country. she then meets Keaton, the local vet. Their love of animals brings them together.

Romance with a capital R and Christmas all rolled into one.

As the evenings get colder snuggle up and get ready for the holidays.

Different slant on a romance novel

Between Heaven and Earth


Another book in the Matchmaker series.Bit of sadness in the story - it really explores, all the topics we experience, love death relationships an emotions and a bit of hope thrown into the mix. Well written and a different slant on the your typical romance story so a welcome change.

Recommended sun bed read.


Another great novella from this great author

First Heist (An Omar Zagouri Thriller)

I was asked to review this book by Inspired by Kathy - I have read a few books in this series and they never fail to interest me.

There is action and suspense in this novella - this book explains how Mia and Omar ( Omar Zagouri ) met with a bit of flitiness thrown in. The book is fast paced with a good story line with a middle eastern feel to this.

Recommend the reader reads the series and not just dip into one or two.

Delightful

Three!

I was asked to review this cute kids book by Inspired by Kathy.

The author is a mum, written And illustrated the book also- wow that is something.

Beautifully illustrated essentially set around the day in a life of a three year old boy filled with fun and humour this is a book for under the Christmas tree this year. Delightful.


After Isabella

I was asked to review by Nudge/Real Readers 

This is a beautifully written book by a great author I admire. The story is set around the complex nature of relationships

Esther friend Isabella dies of cancer it is devastating for her . Then as time passes she meets Isabella's sister Sally who apparently cared for her sister during her end of life episode. 

This is all about life and how time moves on with memories , life and regrets focusing on the characters.

Recommended summer read for the sun bed - I loved it.
