The Kiss Quotient was recommended to me by a friend. Her recommendations are always brilliant, so I was excited to read this and it didn’t disappoint. The story follows Stella, a brilliant econometrician who is also on the autism spectrum. She’s high functioning, so is perfectly able to get through life, however doesn’t always know how…

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella – Four Stars
I was a little apprehensive before starting this book as I was worried it would be just a bit too ridiculous. You know how sometimes in rom coms, in order to make the story work and to inject ‘humour’, the writer puts in the most ludicrous series of events, set in motion through total incompetence…
Review – The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks – three stars
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. Instead,…

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 ends,…
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…
