Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Challenges are only mountains that we have yet to climb.” I’m not crying, you’re crying! After initially feeling as though this novel could take the same path of hundreds of other romance novels out there, it wasn’t long before I realised how wrong I was. This book soon became one of the…
Lisa King – Author Interview

He seemed, for a moment, a little less like a stranger.” Vanishing Hour – Lisa King After recently reading Lisa King’s debut novel, Vanishing Hour, I was blown away with how perfect it was in every possible way.

Blind Date – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “That’s the thing about moments. They have the ability to surprise you.” I’ve been so excited to start reading this one for so long – a book written by a fellow Yorkshire lass! I should have known from that little fact alone that I was going to love this story, and thankfully,…

“First rule of warfare. She who chose the battlefield had the advantage.” Salt + Stilettos – Janet Walden-West After my recent review of Salt + Stilettos, I asked author Janet Walden-West a few questions about the book and her writing journey!

The Latecomers – Book Review
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If this sign is carried, one will never lose one’s way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known.” This book took me longer than I expected to finish – not because it was boring, uninteresting or didn’t capture my attention, but for the exact opposite reasons. I…
