  I fell in love with  Josh Hartman and Tempest Miller ’s story from the first line. It is no secret that I am a big fan of Lynne St James’s work and will read anything she publishes. Her plots are well thought out and executed but for me it’s her characters that capture me every time and Josh and Tempest are no different, their motives are not immediately clear but as you read the depths of their characters are unleashed. This is not your typical seal falling for woman he saves. Tempest is Josh’s equal, she has baggage, but she does not need Josh to save her. She is independent, courageous and not afraid to admit when she is wrong. It makes a refreshing change in this genre.  My thanks, as always, to Lynne for giving me the opportunity to review the 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rated Seal’s Tempest.   Purchase Links: Amazon UK:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09GML2J2X/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_ZHCM7CB44V0X0DJEKT6A Amazon US:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GML2J2X/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt...

It is rare during these uncertain times that I would purchase a book in more than one format, let alone e-book- paperback and audiobook! Something hit me in the chest when I read the story of Freya, Meg and Joanna as they navigate the emotional roller-coaster of keeping a promise. Their promise lands them in deep snow, in a foreign country in the dark and only a grumpy local to offer them shelter. But what could end in disaster has the potential to change all their lives.  I am an emotional reader, and it is a sure sign of a good story when I laugh, cry, get frustrated and fall in love along with the characters. At a time of year when the market is flooded with festive romances, Keeping a Christmas Promise stood out as something different, yes there is romance, the will they won't they, but the is more, a sense of self-discovery for the friends who lost their way when they lost a part of their hearts.  My thanks, as always to #Transworld #Penguin #RandomHouse #Netgalley and Jo...

  It is my understanding that this is the final instalment in Sandy Barker’s Holiday Romance series, and I am sad to have finish my journey with these characters. I have read each book in this series and whilst That Night in Paris remains my firm favourite, I enjoyed this little peek behind ‘The End”. Often with contemporary romance we are left wondering what next, after the leading lady has found her man. A Wedding in Tuscany shows the fears, joys and disasters that happen once the reader has closed the book.  In the interests of an honest review, but with no fault of the author, it took me a long time to finish reading this story. My apologies to Sandy, One More Chapter and Netgalley, but you see, I turned forty this summer and though I did not have some major life moment, no Ferrari's were purchased, I did not quit my job, it was very unsettling to read Sarah’s side of the story. When I read fiction, I fully immerse myself in a story and it’s to Sandy’s credit that Sarah’s ...
