I'm not the biggest fan of YA or NA books though I have read a fair few of them … Continue reading Top 5 Saturday

Review //\\ Mister Baller

2nd Jul 20209th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

Mister Baller by Cassie-Ann L. Miller A book that makes me both laugh and cry has to be a winner. Iris and Jude stole my heart in Mister Baller. Their story was simply wonderful, so enjoyable to read. The perfect mix of humour, snark, angst and steam that all blends together to make an amazing love … Continue reading Review //\\ Mister Baller

June Round Up

30th Jun 20209th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H ~ 2 Comments

Photo by Ylanite Koppens on Pexels.com This was the month in which we had a mini-heat wave, with temperatures soaring to the high 20's/low 30's degrees celsius. Since then we've had grey skies, howling winds and torrential downpours, because if there is one thing you can be certain of in Britain, it's that you will … Continue reading June Round Up

Review //\\ Love and Music

29th Jun 20209th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

Love and Music (Small Town Secrets Book 3) by Jade C. Jamison I'm not crying, you're crying. Sorry, excuse me whilst I compose myself.I love a sexy hero with a soft side, I love an everyday heroine and I'm a huge sucker for second-chance romance. All that, added to great writing, meant that I thoroughly … Continue reading Review //\\ Love and Music

Review //\\ The Velvet Collar

25th Jun 20209th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

The Velvet Collar (Pony Tales #9/Velvet Lies #3) I don't think even in my wildest dreams I could have ever imagined such a conclusion to this series. Was it a little OTT? At times yes, but in a wonderful way that just made you smile, or cringe, wince and take panicky breathes. I loved this book, I … Continue reading Review //\\ The Velvet Collar

Release & Review //\\ Starlet

25th Jun 20209th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

Starlet (Sinister Fairy Tales Collection) by Cora Kenborn This came incredibly close to being a DNF for me. It just took far too long to get into the actual meat of the story and pick up pace. In fact I must have skim read/totally skipped at least a third of this book, and probably getting … Continue reading Release & Review //\\ Starlet

Hellbent
it was amazing
Hellbent
by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz
I am so grateful to Tessa Talks Books who put me on to this series. It took me far too long to take up her recommendation because, as a rule, I don't read thrillers. I am making up for lost time and working through this well-written, act...
SOS Hotel: No Rest for the Wicked
it was amazing
SOS Hotel: No Rest for the Wicked
by Adam Vex
Zee pulled back, and bumped his nose with mine. "You smell like dead vampire and burn barrels, but you're so f***king cute. He smelled like home. Like sanctuary. Like freedom. Like Zee. We get to learn a LOT more about Adam in this...
The Nowhere Man
it was amazing
The Nowhere Man
by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz
This was very different to the first book, which I appreciated and gave me hope that the series wouldn't become tired and repetitive. Some of this felt a tad far-fetched, somewhat James Bond-esque in his ability to survive and escape but...
Orphan X
it was amazing
Orphan X
by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz
This was recommended to me by Tessa Talks Books a couple of years ago. Thrillers are not a genre I generally read so unsurprisingly I delayed trying the series. What a mistake that turned out to be, because this story hooked me from the ...
A Billionaire's Promise
it was amazing
A Billionaire's Promise
by Laura Riley
Millie and Gage's story is a captivating enemies-to-lovers romance with two wonderfully written, rounded characters. Gage is suave and sophisticated, if a little arrogant, whilst Millie is very much the girl next door with heart and ambi...
