Let It Snow by Sue Moorcroft

Image
Sue Moorcroft has done it again. Every time I open one of her books, it feels like an embrace from an old friend and Let It Snow is no different. On the surface you could be forgiven that this is quirky festive romance, but look between the covers and you will discover romance, heartbreak and unknown siblings. Proving that no one is perfect but as long as we swallow our fears and at least try, we maybe granted the things we long for, career success, family or love. Along with some deep topics there is a lightness to this story, from Dalmatian to choir members and teenage crushes, Let it snow is a must read for anyone looking for a winter escape. My thanks to #Netgalley and #AvonBooksUK for allowing me to read and review #LetItSnow.

The Art of Making Memories by Meik Wiking

Image
What a truly delightful and insightful read. I have enjoyed all of Meik Wiking's books but this one is more poinient for me than most. Memories are essentially all we have in the end and some don't even get to keep those. but reading this book has made me think more about how we create memories, its not just doing exciting or adventurous things, though those are great, it's a conversation with a loved one, a story shared, even a scent of a moment. As readers we may be unconciously aware of the points this book drawers upon but reading this has broughts these ideas into focus. In particular I found the 'sketch of the future, helpful and will be drawering upon its advice in the coming months. My thanks to #Netgalley, #PenguinBooksand #PenguinLife for giving me the opportunity to read and review #TheArtOfMakingMemories. I rate this book a 5 star read but there is no higher praise for a book than being given a copy and then for it to be that good that you go ou...

Joy Ride (Power Tools: Hot Rides Book 4) by Jayne Rylon

Image
I enjoyed the fourth instalment of Jayne Rylon's Powertools: Hot Rides series, it is an easy read, following a similar pattern as previous books and sometimes that's all you need. The plot is suspenseful, and the romance, just like the series title suggests, hot. Though Joy was at times annoying in her lack of trust in Walker and Dane, it suited her mama bear in flight mode character. I do think that Walker needed a bit more of a backbone, given the power exchange between our two heroes. But it was good to see that all three of them could be toed back into line by their friends, no their family at Hot Rods and Powertools. Overall a good ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read, one I would recommend for heating up the daily commute.

Rewrite the Stars by Emma Heatherington

Image
Emma Heatherington’s new release had me engrossed to the end. Will she or wont she? This question stuck me throughout the book, will Charlie follow Tom to England? Will she chose family over love? Will she stick with the reliable or go for broke and follow fame and fortune? The internal conflict of Charlie, a mixture of guilt and love is perfectly captured by the author, characterisation is a speciality of hers. You can get a sense of the efforts Emma goes to when she had a song ‘You’ by Gareth Dunlop commissioned to go along with the book. I highly recommend reading the 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟  star rated #RewriteTheStars, it’s at times heartbreaking (yes there were tears on the morning commute again) but it is a story about hope and that you can rewrite your dreams, something you think you want, may not be what you need. As always, my thanks to #Netgalley and #OneMoreChapter for granting me an advanced copy of #RewriteTheStars to review. Purchase Links: Amazon UK: https://www....
