I'm so often astounded at how brilliant debut books can be, and this one by Jessica Payne rates really high on my list of reads from debut authors! It ticks every box on the "Wow Factor" list! Noelle is finally living her dream. She's met gorgeous doctor, Daniel Ashcroft at the hospital where she works... Continue Reading →
A one-sitting read! I didn't even realise that I was literally holding my breath half of the time I was reading this! Oh my word, this is an absolutely brilliant, unputdownable thriller that just doesn't stop until the completely unpredictable end that I truly did NOT see coming! Dr Jen Miller is living in a...

I've always said that Amanda Prowse has the uncanny ability to create characters that are so real that you feel like they're the kind of women you know. They're the women you're familiar with from seeing them pushing a trolley around your local grocery store, or at school pick-up or drop-off times. They're the ones... Continue Reading →

I couldn't put this one down! It grips you from the very beginning and doesn't let up! Jenny Bowen makes it onto the Caledonian Sleeper Train by the skin of her teeth, rushing onto the train, lucky that the doors are the old fashioned manual type that don't close electrically, but are manually operated! Although... Continue Reading →
This one's quite a different sort of book. I'd typify it as a 'what if' sort of tale about the 'life' of Aphrodite, who's appointed as the Keeper of Love, and sent out into the world ... this, after she thought she had already found her true love: her best friend, who she was then...

As I'm sure you all know by now if you follow this blog regularly, I do love an Irish read! And this is no different. It's the third in Susanne O'Leary's Willow House series, and for some reason I've only read the second book prior to this - Sisters of Willow House. The first book... Continue Reading →
