Review //\\ Wine Hard, Baby

25th May 20208th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H ~ 2 Comments

Wine Hard, Baby (OHellNo #6) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff I struggled with my rating on this, I mean it has the usual fun and quirky humour of the rest of the OHellNo series. It also has a sexy cowboy and a nerdy girl, lots of banter and plenty of crazy moments too. I read it … Continue reading Review //\\ Wine Hard, Baby

Review //\\ Mafia Lullaby

24th May 20208th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

Mafia Lullaby by Alta Hensley & Measha Stone Whilst this deals with dark themes of captivity and sex slavery, it didn't hit very high on my dark-o-meter.Reading reviews on Goodreads, I was surprised at the number that mentioned finding the DD/lg theme disturbing, I thought it featured fairly minimally. Ariana's co-captives had been regressed mentally … Continue reading Review //\\ Mafia Lullaby

Six For Sunday… Favourite Series Characters

24th May 20208th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H ~ 4 Comments

Six For Sunday.. Favourite Characters From Series Six For Sunday is a meme hosted by A Little But A Lot. May's theme has been series, with this week's prompt being favourite characters from series. I think I could populate this list repeatedly just for one author. So I'm going to spin it differently and choose … Continue reading Six For Sunday… Favourite Series Characters

Bookish Friday… Disappointing Books

22nd May 20208th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

Bookish Friday - Disappointing Books. This is a meme created by Laura (https://lauryreads.wordpress.com/) and Georgi (http://nifflerreads.co.uk/), so do please visit them too. Today's prompt is very apt as over the last few weeks I seem to have had a few lacklustre reads, one of which will feature as today's Book Review. Some of these books … Continue reading Bookish Friday… Disappointing Books

Review // The Break-Up Artist

22nd May 20208th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

The Break-Up Artist (Cupids #4) by Lila Monroe The Break-Up Artist is a fun and heart warming second chance rom-com. Katie and Wes were both very likeable, easy to believe in characters, and I loved that Selena was neither entitled or bitchy. The author created a cast of characters that together added depth and colour to … Continue reading Review // The Break-Up Artist

Review // Fear’s Whisper

21st May 20208th Aug 2022 ~ Louise H

Fear's Whisper (Club Risque #2) by Poppy Flynn Sorry, Jake needed to grovel so much more, but I still really enjoyed this!There is just something so warm, soft and comfortable about this author's voice. Not bland, not boring, not *meh*, more of a soft kiss and a gentle caress, with a bit of hair pulling … Continue reading Review // Fear’s Whisper

Walking through High Wood Park When our children were young, we used to take them out for a local walk every Sunday. When I returned to work, and was busy lesson planning for most of the day, my husband would take the three of them out just to keep them out of my hair.Over the … Continue reading A Glimpse of Sunday on a Monday

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...
