Can't I give this 10 stars??? I absolutely adored this book! I loved the Casey's and all their typical family in-fighting and nonsense (actually, in Irish terms it's referred to as 'malarkey' I think). Marian writes in a way that draws the reader in and makes you feel like you're right there, just a fly... Continue Reading →

PUBLICATION DAY PARTY – The Three Women by Valerie Keogh
Happy publication day to Valerie Keogh! I have no doubt that The Three Women will race up the bestseller charts! It's a completely riveting psychological thriller that once started, will have readers breathlessly enthralled until the very last page.

PUBLICATION DAY PARTY – Trap Door by Dreda Say Mitchell
Happy publication day to Dreda Say Mitchell for this excellent psychological thriller! I couldn't put this one down! It's a really gripping page-turner; sometimes spooky; a bit chilling; unputdownable!

PUBLICATION DAY PARTY – The Jane Austen Dating Agency by Fiona Woodfield
Happy publication day to debut author, Fiona Woodifield! Welcome to the world of the delightful Sophie Johnson! Smart, intelligent, not bad looking, but has dismal luck with men. Also, her job description at top fashion magazine Modiste, is 'Sales Executive' but falls sadly short of the mark as all it entails is sitting on the... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Orphan’s Daughter by Sandy Taylor
Oh my word Sandy Taylor! What a gem of a book this is! Not only did I absolutely love it, but it made me yearn to get on a plane and head straight to Ireland for a long-overdue visit. If ever a book as evoked a feeling of such heartfelt longing to be somewhere then... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – His Wife’s Secret by Susan Willis
When I started reading this, I wasn't so sure I was going to be able to continue. I was doubtful about my ability to deal with two mature (?) adults - one of which had left his wife and teenage daughter - who constantly craved each other's bodies and behaved like sex-starved prisoners who'd been...

BLOG TOUR – My One Month Marriage by Shari Low
Oh my word, I adored this book! Why have I never read anything by Shari Low before?! Four sisters: Zoe, Marina, Verity and Yvie ... all so different in every single way. Marina is the only one who's married and she makes helicopter moms look lazy and uninvolved! Zoe's the corporate, marketing wizz; Verity's a... Continue Reading →
BOOKS-ON-TOUR – The Perfect Sister by Sheryl Brown
I'm very late to the party with this one due to being struck down with flu last week and being literally flattened by it for almost 5 days. But ... I'm back ... and now catching up on those days that disappeared into the ether. Thank you to my lovely Bookouture people for understanding, and... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – Killing Beauties by Pete Langman
A fascinating, although I must admit, rather dense read about female spies in the mid 1600's. Clearly they existed, but seem to have been excluded in much of the literature that's been written about this time, which focuses about the shenanigans that the men got up to, chasing chambermaids and plotting behind each other's backs!...
