I’d heard a lot about Jan Sikes‘s books and thoroughly enjoyed visiting all the stops on her joint blog tour (with Linda Broday). So I downloaded A Bold Bargain. This isn’t the first in the series, but I have to say, it didn’t matter. It’s made me want to read the others, but you don’t

Many of you follow Nicole Sara’s beautiful blog Starry Steps and enjoy her poems. She really has a gift for creating stunning lines. I recently finished her collection of poems – Rhyming Dreams. Here’s the blurb: Rhyming Dreams is an enchanting and engaging collection of poems about the heart’s winding journey through deep wistful longing

I love Dawn Pisturino‘s poetry and when I saw she’d written a middle grade book for children, I knew I wanted to read it. The cover certainly caught my eye, as did the blurb: Alina has a big problem. Her father is a popular mystery writer. Her mother is a glamorous movie star. Left in

I follow Mia Winherrt’s blog and when I saw she’d written her first book, I was intrigued to check it out. ‘Does Love Die With You?’ is a contemporary romance, which thinks outside the box. Here is the blurb: But then, when was love ever easy? Aaron Philip has been in love with his best

Many of you may know blogger Cee Tee Jackson. But have you read his books? If not, why not?! I’ve just finished his very entertaining tales of growing up in the 60s and 70s. Here’s the blurb: Do you remember the excitement of classroom lessons being delivered in the school playground on hot, sunny days?

I’ve read all of Glynis Peters‘ books and loved them all. She has another one coming out in November (The Orphan’s Last Goodbye), so I’ll be adding that to my TBR pile. I’m fortunate to have met Glynis a few times – at writing events and also as a friend. She is the most genuine,

I hadn’t read a Harlan Coben book for ages and when I was looking for my next read, I realised I had an unread one on my bookshelf. The Match features Wilde, a character from a previous book I’d read. So I thought it about time I reunited myself with him. The Blurb: He is

I first came across Steve Cavanagh‘s books when I went to Harrogate Crime Writing Festival and attended an author dinner there. We each were given one of the books which was up for their book of the year. Steve’s book Thirteen actually won and I was fortunate to receive that particular book. Well, that was
