Let me start by saying that I love the film version of The Notebook, so when I was looking for a new read and a friend recommended Nicholas Sparks, I was pretty excited. However, if I’m honest, I found The Longest Ride disappointing. I was expecting sweeping romance, brilliant character development and intriguing plot. …

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne – Five Stars
The Hating Game…what can I say aside from I LOVED it and couldn’t put it down. I read it in just over 24 hours – that kind of dedication has not happened in a long time. The Hating Game is a love story, set in a publishing house. Lucy and Josh are Executive Assistants to…
Wildfire by Ilona Andrew – two stars
***** SPOILERS below for all three books in this series so far***** I’d like to start by saying that I like Ilona Andrews, and gave the other two books in this series four stars (despite my feelings about the covers), but, honestly, this installment was a disappointment. It picks up shortly after book two…
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon – four stars
Phew – I’ve finally finished the Outlander audiobook on Audible, making it my first finished book of 2019! Outlander, for the few people out there who don’t know, is a romance, following Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser, as they wend their way through the Scottish Highlands. Claire starts the story in post World War Two…
Sarah J Mass, A Court of Wings and Ruin – 4 stars
In A Court of Wings and Ruin, we start back in the Spring Court, following the high octane finish to book two, where Feyre makes a deal to return with Tamlin (who is still under the misguided notion that Feyre belongs to him), in order to secure the freedom of her family and friends. Obviously…
Sarah J Mass, A Court of Mist and Fury – five stars
I LOVED this book. It had everything I like – fantasy, romance, a great, fast-moving story line, lots of interesting characters who all bring their own skills to the party, and a brilliant love triangle. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. This book picks up a short while after A Court of Thorns and Roses ends, and starts…
Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews – Four Stars
I was looking for a light-hearted fantasy with a good helping of romance. Something fun, easy to read and not too heavy, and Burn for Me by Illona Andrews ticks all of those boxes. I’ll start by saying that I pretty much hate the covers. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with half naked men…obviously…
