The Fiancé Dilemma by Elena Armas

The Fiancé Dilemma marks Elena Armas’ second foray into Green Oak, North Carolina. We were introduced to both Josie and Matthew in The Long Game where they were great secondary characters. So how do they fare helming their own romantic comedy of errors? I was intrigued by Josie from the first time we met her. …

For anyone who has read any of Abbi Glines’ Rosemary Beach series, you would be familiar with Nan. She’s tried to ruin many relationships and is generally a bit of a spoilt brat.

(Book Review): Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Combining highland warriors with romance and time travel, Outlander is a historical novel not quite like any other. Recently adapted for TV by Starz, Outlander has gained even more fans as more and more people want to read about Claire and Jamie’s unique love story. It’s no secret I have a soft spot for kilt …

(A Southern Family Saga… and a whole lot of Whiskey): The Bourbon Kings by JR Ward

As a JR Ward fan I was looking forward to her newest series. I’ve read her Black Dagger Brotherhood (which I’m slightly obsessed with) and Fallen Angels series as well as some of the contemporary Harlequin novels she published under the name Jessica Bird. I was hoping her newest Bourbon Kings series was going to …

(Review): The Complete Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm

(Glitzy world of High Fashion): Handbags and Gladrags by Maggie Alderson

The novel opens with an email from Emily’s lover in their secret code planning a rendezvous. It’s not until a few chapters later that we find out Emily is in fact married. And from there on the entire novel became extremely predictable. I don’t think there were any events from that point onwards that even …

(Lone Wolf No More): Wolf’s Mate by Chantal Fernando

I have been loving Chantal Fernando’s Wind Dragon series so far. When I was at a bookstore last month I had a bit of a difficult decision to make. Should I buy the next one I am up to in the series (Rake’s Redemption, Wind Dragons #4) or do I skip ahead and read about one …

(The Brotherhood is Back in Black!): The Beast by J.R. Ward

I would consider myself to be a huge JR Ward fan. Since I first discovered the Black Dagger Brotherhood (and devouring the first six books in a week!), I’ve been a devoted reader and I anxiously look forward to each new instalment. Whereas the first eleven or so books in this series were mostly devoted …
