I never gush about a book unless I really, really love it.
And boy, did I love this book!
I'm staggered that it's Robin Covington's debut novel...talking about setting the bar high!
In Kayla and Jack she has created two wonderful characters, well-matched in their independence and hidden vulnerabilities.
And the sexual tension between them? Sizzles off every page.
With wickedly hot sex and sparkling dialogue, this book was a winner.
I hated putting it down and can't wait for the follow ups with Teague, Lucky and Beck's stories.
More please!
Nobody writes absorbing, heartwarming, riveting women's fiction like Barbara O'Neal.
Devoured this book in 2 days.
The religious angle intrigued me and I loved how the characters tussled with their faith, which added an extra layer to the conflict.
If you've never read category romance, do yourself a favour and start with this book.
An Asian heroine, a tough martial arts hero, suspense thrown in and loads of fabulous, characteristic Hunter charm.
Her characters are rich, vibrant and emotionally complex.
Superb!
I write at night to meet deadlines and don't get enough sleep, so I don't lose sleep for many books.
The Wedding Season is one book I sacrificed sleep for, unable to put it down in the wee small hours.
It's an enticing blend of multicultural chick lit/women's fiction/romance.
Shani is a 32 yo single Sri Lankan woman living in Melbourne.
She has loyal friends, an interfering mother and boy troubles.
I laughed out loud in several parts of the book, and loved recognising all the landmarks in my home city.
Have to admit, I was shocked when the book took a serious twist but even then I loved how the author developed the characters' relationships.
A really satisfying read, one I recommend.
Kelly Hunter writes delightfully realistic, flawed characters whose dialogue absolutely sparkles!
Another signature sparkly, sassy category romance from Ally Blake.
Loved the interaction between Dax and Caitlyn.
The type of book to curl up with at the end of a long day...guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Thoroughly enjoyed.
Reading To Be a Family was like sitting down with old friends and having a cuppa on a winter's day: pure comfort.
Joan Kilby writes great realistic characters with solid conflicts they work through to reach their HEA.
I loved how she wove Balinese traditions throughout the book (Tuti was adorable!)
John the hero was a lovely combination of alpha male exterior yet pure beta on the inside.
Katie the heroine had many issues to work through and the resolution was oh-so-satisfying.
If you enjoy heartwarming romance, you'll love this book.
I heard about this book via word of mouth and am so glad I picked it up.
Cat Kalen pens a riveting tale, a YA thriller featuring werewolves on the run.
She captures the teen voice and angst perfectly, and creates a page-turning, emotional read.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips is the only author who can pull me away from my own writing.
I read this in 2 days, which means I put my own deadlines on hold and fed leftovers to my kids.
The romance between Lucy Jorik and ‘Panda' Patrick Shade is flawed and volatile and oh so satisfying.
Adore SEP's books.
Each and every one of them.
A sweet and sexy novella, featuring an Army heroine and a SEAL hero.
Plenty of emotion packed into a short read.
And the sparks created between Luke and Saskia are great!
A wonderfully satisfying read.
It has been too long since I've read any rural-lit. I love Rachel Treasure's books but has been years since I've read one.
Then I picked up Bella's Run this week and was hooked all over again.
It's a cracking book filled with real characters and real emotion.
It's poignant, romantic and funny, seamlessly weaving rural Australia and its lifestyle into an emotional story.
I loved it!
Lovers of women's fiction will adore this book as much as I did.
I write at night so sleep is precious to me. I happily lost sleep 2 nights in a row to finish this ASAP.
The characters are real and flawed and memorable.
Couldn't put it down.
Loved it!
Highly recommend.
The world of ballroom dancing intrigues me so I was immediately drawn to this book when I heard dancing was at the heart of it.
It didn't disappoint.
But for me, the hero made this book. Totally.
Dan is compelling, flawed, complex and completely HOT.
He is human, a real character you can't help but be drawn to.
Another wonderfully warm novel from Julie Cohen.
It made me smile and sniffle and ultimately left me feeling warm and fuzzy.
She skilfully tackles themes of twins, sibling rivalry, Alzheimer's and blends them into small town life.
Really enjoyed it.
If you enjoy fun, flirty, contemporary romances, you'll love The Secret Wedding Dress.
I love reading books set in my fabulous home city of Melbourne.
Paige is ballsy and quirky, Gabe is flawed and incredibly sexy.
Thoroughly enjoyed!
I adore Italy and reading this book makes me want to jump on a plane right now and revisit!
This book is lush with tastes and smells and poignancy.
Liz Fielding has penned a beautiful romance, rich and evocative and sigh-worthy.
Recommend.
I'm hugely impressed by Joss Wood's debut category romance.
It's sweet and sexy, with two strong-willed characters going head to head.
Loved the sparks they created!
And the secondary characters (the heroine's family) were hilarious.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I haven't read Slumdog Millionaire or seen the film version but I'll certainly be doing both now.
Thoroughly enjoyed The Accidental Apprentice.
Vikas Swarup has an easygoing writing voice that is fun to read.
Loved the strong heroine Sapna and the choices she made.
And I definitely didn't see the MAJOR TWIST at the end coming.
Good read.
The perfect book to curl up with, safe in the knowledge you'll get a wonderfully warm read with a guaranteed HEA.
Will and Leah were great together.
Famous musician heroes are usually very alpha, and having a lovely beta hero was surprisingly refreshing.
Thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to reading Her Favourite Rival, Leah's sister Audrey's story.
Sarah Mayberry writes such wonderfully realistic romances and this one is no exception.
Such an enjoyable read when two flawed characters come together naturally and really strive to make a relationship work.
