Catch Me If You Cannes Part 4 by Lisa Dickenson Blog Tour

Today is the last day of Catch Me If You Cannes Blog Tour, yes feeling quite sad because I've enjoyed being part of this blog tour, also because I loved reading Catch Me If You Cannes so much.

If you think Part 3 of Catch Me If You Cannes had plenty of drama then you haven't read Part 4 yet!

Just one week ago, Jess was safely tucked away in her quiet seaside home, running her cafe and not really doing much of anything. So what on earth has happened between then and now that has her stealing a superyacht from Cannes marina?

Leo. Leo happened.

Jess doesn't want to believe what everybody is saying about him. He's her Leo, with his lazy smile, soft kisses and firm hugs, and she knows he's a good man. But she can't deny that something isn't quite right so she just needs some time to figure things out. All Jess did was fall in love with a boy who liked Nutella. How has it come to this?

Well everything just gets even more complicated for Jess in the last part of Catch Me If You Cannes. She is out to prove Leo isn't a drug lord which Bryony has said he is, but things just get ever so confusing and even more drama happens in Jess' life. . . I don't want to say much more because I just think you should buy this and read for yourself!

You will most certainly laugh (be careful of reading in public) and will be hoping Jess gets her happily ever after which is what you want in any chick lit book at the end! The whole series is just pure fantastic with plenty of laughs throughout!

Just go buy this fab book right away!
Want even better news? The complete novel will be out in Paperback on 23rd June 2016! woop woop!!

Thank You Lisa and Clara at Little Brown for letting me part of this amazing blog tour! I've enjoyed the book ever so much! When's the next book?
You Fantastic Lady!

I reward Catch Me If You Cannes 5 fantastic, amazing, sizzling hot shimmering stars.

Catch Me If You Cannes Part 2 & Part 3 by Lisa Dickenson

Part 2 Blurb

Jess had been feeling on top of the world - she'd had the best night out with Bryony, making lots of fabulous new friends, and she'd MET A BOY! Now, all of a sudden, her carefully constructed (if slightly exaggerated) facade is about to come tumbling down. She's had a taste of how the other half live and she's not ready to give it up just yet - especially if it means also giving up Leo. But how long can Jess and Bryony continue pulling the wool over everyone's eyes before they're in too deep?

Part 3 Blurb

Things could not be going better between Jess and Leo. Every moment they spend together is lovely and sunkissed and full of anticipation. Jess hasn't felt like this in a very long time and she doesn't want it to end. Sure, Leo is a bit vague about certain areas of his life but that doesn't mean anything . . .

Suddenly Jess's perfect holiday romance isn't looking so great and she has a choice to make - should she ignore what Bryony is telling her and keep living the dream, or should she run the risk of losing Leo in order to prove her friend wrong?

My Review

I am so happy to be part of Catch Me If You Cannes Blog Tour! Today I am reviewing Part 2 & Part 3 of the book! A huge thank you to Clara at Little Brown for asking me to part of Lisa's new fantastic book.

I have loved every book by Lisa and she is just getting better and better! Lisa definitely knows how to write the perfect character with plenty of things going on that is going to make you laugh lots!

So whats happening ? well Jess has met a boy..yes a gorgeous at that, made lots of new friends and has felt how the other life lives now she may have to go back to her normal self but will she want to?
Jess and Leo are getting on like a house on fire, you could say she has never felt like this before and doesn't want this holiday to stop...but then her best friend Bryony drops a bombshell and Jess doesn't quite know whether to believe her or try and prove her Best Friend wrong about Leo?

Jess is such a funny character, she is just plain jane but as soon as she came to Cannes with her best friend Bryony and has made lots of new friends who like to party, spend lots of money and are in the crowds with celebrities.  She gets her self in some disastrous scenario's but gives you plenty of giggles! Jess & Leo are so cute together! Their love for Nutella & Crepes is so cute and throughout the book I'm rooting for them to get together! 

I cannot fault Catch me If You Cannes at all, It is a perfect summer read and I couldn't put it down!If you want a book to make you giggle throughout, then your at the right place! Catch Me If You Cannes has plenty of drama, crazy moments, a bit of romance and a dream life anybody would be jelous of Jess & Bryony!

 I reward Catch Me If You Cannes 5 fantastic, amazing, sizzling hot shimmering stars.
Lisa You are fantastic!! 
Catch Part 4 next Friday!

Always The Bridesmaid Blog Tour: Author Interview with Lindsey Kelk

I am so happy to be part of Lindsey Kelk's new novel Always The Bridesmaid Blog Tour today! I had the pleasure of having Lindsey stop by for a short interview. Here is the interview.

Q) Hi Lindsey, "Always The Bridesmaid" came out 7th May, Can you tell us a little bit about it?

Yes! Always the Bridesmaid is about Maddie, an assistant events organiser who finds out at the beginning of the book, that one of her best friends is getting married and that the other is getting divorced. Trying to play peacemaker between the two of them while helping to plan Lauren a wedding and counsel Sarah through her break up, she’s still hung up on her ex and miserable in her job.

Even though Maddie is a bridesmaid in the book, it not really a story about that, it’s about allowing yourself to be pushed into a bridesmaid position in your life. Maddie is so used to coming second -  with her friends, her family, her career – that she doesn’t even realise there’s another way to live. This is the story of how that all changes.

Q) Have you ever been a bridesmaid?

I have, once as a little girl and twice as a grown up. I don’t think I was very good at it either time. I definitely cried on all three occasions but only had to be carried out to bed once. I cannot confirm that was when I was a little girl.

Q) What inspired you to write this story and why?

My life, the lives of my friends, stories I heard from other people. I love looking at the things that effect our day to day lives, issues that are bigger than ourselves, and starting my story there. About a Girl was about the pressure on people to make huge important choices when they’re very young and the fear that comes with making the wrong one, I Heart Christmas was about ‘having it all’ and whether or not that’s a fantasy concept, What a Girl wants was about making choices when you have no idea of the outcome. I take an idea and build a world around it. Or at least, that’s the plan.

Q) Favourite Chick-lit film and why?

I basically love everything that’s ever been committed to celluloid so it’s hard to choose a favourite. I enjoyed them all, Bridget Jones, Devil Wears Prada, even Shopaholic – it gets a bad rap but I think Isla Fisher and High Dancy are lovely in it. But then Hugh Dancy is lovely in everything.

Q) Are you a fan of weddings?

Ehh, it’s such a broad brush. Sometimes they’re wonderful and sometimes they’re painfully terrible, I’ve been to both ends of the spectrum. I love the idea of a wedding but I’m also very cynical about the idea of marriage in general and the thought of spending all that money on one day which ultimately might not mean anything really causes me pain. But if anyone asks, yes! I love weddings! They’re wonderful and not an extortionate obligation at all!

Q) Have you any writing tips to anybody who is wanting to start writing?

Just write! It’s really the only tip you need. If you desperately want another, read. The more you read, the better your writing will become and the more you write, the easier it will be. That’s really all you need to know. To be a writer, you have to write.

Q) Describe Always the Bridesmaid in 5 words...

Stunning masterpiece of epic proportions OR A funny, thoughtful, sweary story


Thank you Lindsey for stopping by!

Hero by Samantha Young Blog Tour

Today I am part of the lovely Samantha Young's new book Hero's blog tour! Most of you will already know how much I really like Samantha's books so much and I am always highly recommending!
When the lovely Clara at Piatkus asked if I would love to be part of the tour I couldn't wait!

Hero is all about Alexa Holland and Caine Carraway. Alexa's father was her hero until she finds something shocking that her and her mum weren't his only family, So Alexa has tried to turn her life around but when she meets a man who's as damaged by her fathers mistakes, she must help him!
 Caine Carraway doesn't want anything to do with Alexa's efforts to redemption but its not so easy to push her away. He will do anything in his power to get her to walk away and leave him for good by ignoring her, being rude to her..however that just brings them together and they start an intense and explosive affair!

Wow! where can I start with Hero? I loved every freaking minute of it! It was pure intense every chapter, I really wanted to dislike Caine but my god he just sounds so gorgeous but obnoxious too which can make any girl weak at the knees!
I got frustrated at times as I just wanted to punch Caine for the way he was treating Alexa but I was also rooting for them to get together! You can tell deep down Caine is bit of a softy but is just so hard faced.

The one that was different with Hero to the other books sam has written On Dublin Street is this is set in Boston,America instead of Edinburgh like ODS! But the different scenery doesn't make this book anymore fantastic than it already can be!

Samantha knows how to write such amazing books and have her readers hooked by the first couple of pages! I know when I pick one of Samantha's books that I'm going to be engrossed so much for the next couple of hours. I recommend reading Hero and also Sam's other books too! 

I really have to award Hero my rare Gold star for being so amazing, full of rawness, passion and is most definitely worth 5star++
Pick up Hero right now, You are missing out!

Thoughtful by S.C. Stephens Blog Tour

Today I am Part of S.C. Stephens Thoughtful blog tour! If anybody knows who Kellan Kyle or read the thoughtless series then you will be mega excited to read this!

Thoughtful is all about Kellan Kyle's story and how he is this big sexy rockstar and falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend Kiera.. which should be a big no no but he just can't help it!
If anyone read Thoughtless then you will know thats where the story began but that book was from Kiera's point of view, this time its all about Kellan!

I was so excited when the lovely Clara from Little Brown asked me to be part of this blog tour as I've only recently just read the "Thoughtless" Series and loved it so I was thrilled when I was told there was a new book in the series!

Kellan Kyle is one hell of a fine man! He comes across as a typical rockstar just wanting to bang every girl he can lay his eyes on but deep down he wants to settle down and have a girl who he can love forever..

This book is just fantastic! I don't know how much I can talk about this book without telling you everything! You most definitely will love Kellan Kyle by the end of the book and will want to read the other books if you haven't already! I adored Thoughtful so much and while reading it answered so many things I had going through my head when I first read Thoughtless which I knew would only get answered by Kellan in his own story.

Thoughtful has received 5 star rating for being amazing, sexy, blessed with handsome rockstar men and so perfect!!

As Good As It Gets? by Fiona Gibson Blog Tour

Today I'm part of the wonderful Fiona Gibson's new book As Good as it Gets? Blog tour. 

I always know when I pick up a book by Fiona that I am going to be giggling along and they are a light hearted read.

In As Good as it Gets? we meet Charlotte Bristow who has a lot on her plate, whether its working a full time job, dealing with her husband not having a job, or her 16 year old daughter Rosie who has just been newly signed to a model agency..Charlotte has it tough! Things are changing in their household and sometimes not for the better.

I thoroughly enjoyed and loved this so much, there was plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout the book especially the beginning of the book started with letters with some humour had me giggling right away.  I felt a little sorry for Charlotte throughout the book as you could really tell she had her hands full but also the way Fiona writes her books, its just like real life situations with no fairy tale dusting.

Fiona has once again written a superb book that is light hearted with a beautiful colourful cover that is a great easy read. I would highly recommend picking this up next time your shopping.

As Good as it Gets? is out on 26th February

I'll Take New York by Miranda Dickinson Blog Tour

 

Today I am part of the fabulous blog tour for Miranda Dickinson's new book I'll Take New York! Now what isn't to love about Miranda's books, I am such a big fan of her books and the covers are always pretty!

I'll Take New York is about two people, Bea James owner of Brooklyn bookshop is let down by her boyfriend for the last time, she makes the decision no more men, no more heartbreak, and no more pain. Psychiatrist Jake Steinmann is having a fresh start too, leaving his broken marriage behind in San Francisco and from now on there'll just be one love in his life now : New York.
Bea and Jake meet at a party and they seem to be the only singletons and they make a pact : no more relationships..

Yay it's so good to have Miranda Back with a new book! I loved really I'll Take New York so muchh! It is my dream to go to New York one time and reading this book got me a giddy as Bea and Jake explore all of New York as friends and I wished I could visit all the iconic places myself! 

It was great following the lives of Bea and Jake as they get to know each other as friends as they have their pact: no more relationships but we also see a  few familiar faces in this book Rosie Duncan and Ed Steinmann who we would of read about them in Fairytale of New York which is always great to catch up with familiar faces!

Miranda has amazing writing style which is so totally her own and she has so much passion in her stories that keeps her readers hooked. Her passion for places is so amazing, You can tell Miranda has massive passion for New York and that is a great feeling.

What i loved most about this book is Bea and Russ' Bookshop I wished I could sit in the bookshop and curl up with a good book and forget about the outside for a while also As a big bookworm I would totally love to have my own bookshop one time.

I'll Take New York will be flying off shelves this December for Christmas Presents for everyone! It is a fantastic read will packed of friendship between two people..as your reading you kind of think will they or won't they.. It was a different style of chick lit book that were normally used to where straight away you know if the woman and man are going to get together. I'll Take New York sucked you into the book more because you enjoyed reading about Bea and Jake's friendship blossoming more and more as they see each other alot more.

I'll Take New York Deserves 5 Twinkling, Exciting, Amazing, Romantic Stars
Thank you to the Avon Team for letting me part of the blog tour!

Coming Home For Christmas by Julia Williams Blog Tour

Today I am part of Coming Home for Christmas' Blog Tour, Now firstly the cover is so pretty and so full of glitter which sparkles! Now people who are fans of Julia's books will remember Cat,Pippa and Marianne from A Merry Little Christmas so It was great to catch up with them.

The three friends are all dreading Christmas...

Cat needs to get off the ‘has-been’ heap and rescue her flagging TV career but the demands of her extended family are reaching fever pitch and she barely has time to breathe. Meanwhile, Pippa has got too many balls to juggle as a struggling single mum trying to hang on to her family farm. And Marianne’s marriage is looking distinctly rocky now her beloved husband’s ex is back on the scene.

Happy Christmas? Forget it.

But Christmas is a time for miracles, and when the villagers learn they must fight for what they love, it becomes clear that there is festive magic in the air.

Suddenly for Cat, Pippa and Marianne, it’s looking like it might just be a Christmas to remember …

Coming home for Christmas was great, It was nice to catch up with Cat,Pippa and Marianne but also catch up with whats been going on in Hope Christmas although this year is going to be a tough one for them when a building company LK Holdings want to build a hotel on the fields behind Pippa & Dan's farm which could be disaster for the farm. The Village all come together with Pippa being the lead of stopping them.

I loved reading this book so much! It wasn't an uplifting book until near the end. It was quite serious as the village didn't know what was going to happen to them with LK Holdings wanting to buy people in the village out.
I loved reading Dan's diary and how he was coping after his accident in which he's pushed his wife/ex Pippa as he wants her to be happy and he feels he's letting her down..which is so heartbreaking to read.

I would recommend anybody to read this book! If you haven't read any of Julia's books you can still read Coming Home For Christmas on its own, the characters and story line is easy to follow without having to read the other books.
I am a fan of Julia Williams' books as she definitely knows how to get us in the festive mood and connecting with the characters.

Coming Home For Christmas is 4 twinkling, glittering, heartbreaking, tough love stars         

Hard Time by Cara McKenna Blog Tour: Review

My pounding heart went still, eerie as birds fallen silent in the wake of a gunshot.

He was big. Tall frame, wide shoulders-but not burly. His near-black hair was due for a cut, curling under his ears. Dark brows, dark stubble, dark lashes and eyes.

And he was handsome. So handsome it broke your heart.

A deck of cards was split between his hands, paused midshuffle. Some of the men wore navy scrub tops and bottoms, some navy tee shirts, a few white undershirts. This man wore a tee, with COUSINS stenciled on the front, above the number 802267. Those digits imprinted on my brain, burned black as a brand.

He watched me. But not the way the others did. If he was trying to picture me naked, his poker face was strong, though his attention anything but subtle. His entire head moved as I passed through his domain, but his eyes were languorous. Lazy and half-lidded, yet intense. A hundred looks in one. I didn't like it. Couldn't read it. At least with the horny jerk-offs, I knew where I stood.

I wondered what the worst thing you could do and still only get sent to a medium-security prison was. I hoped not to ever learn the answer. 

And I hoped to heaven inmate 802267 hadn't signed up for any of the day's programs.

Today I am part of the blog tour for Hard Time by Cara McKenna. I have never read of Cara's books before and I am always up for reading new authors books. The cover looked quite intriguing to me when I first saw it, I didn't know what to expect. I'll be honest I didn't read the blurb, I just got stuck in with the book.

We meet Annie Goodhouse is a sweet southern girl who has given up on men and love. After having a bad past with an ex boyfriend its put her off and she's moved from her home town in South Carolina to Darren Michigan. She wants to use her life by helping others, as a librarian she does this in many ways. She is starting a new and daunting job at Cousin's Correctional Facility, she will be helping the inmates with new skills, read to them etc. She never expected for someone to turn her head that much on her first day. Inmate Eric 802267 makes her feel something. . . .

This book is super hot!! I loved pretty much all of it! Annie and Eric get to know each other through writing letters to each other. Some of them letters were very steamy! Annie has feelings for Eric but she knows she shouldn't but she just cannot resist when he makes her feel again..


Hard Time was a pleasurable read, fast pacing & steamy! You can easily feel the chemistry between Annie and Eric so much! You kinda want them to get together because Eric isn't a bad guy he just made poor choices to end up where he is until he is let out. . .
I would easily recommend anybody to read! I'll definitely be searching for more books by Cara McKenna.
