I want You Back by Sophie Toovey.
I found Sophie on Instagram and she describes herself as ‘Not Sweet. Not spicy. Just real. Kisses.’ As I was a bit fed of spicy, and wanted sweet, but not twee, it sounded like it could be okay. OKAY?! It was more than ok. I loved this story. It was simply a right good tale!… Continue reading I want You Back by Sophie Toovey.
Kicked in the Heart by L A Remenicky
Who knew I liked American football? Well, I don’t really. It was the blurb that drew me to this story. I can’t say I’m a fan of the sport now either.

My Review of Fireworks in the Sky by Pamela Ackerson
It didn’t work for me. Fireworks in the Sky by Pamela Ackerson A short romantic read Rating: 3 Stars 37 pages I chose this because I love short reads, but have to say it was disappointing.

Teaser Thursday – Finding Amanda.
Recently I’ve come across authors using tropes. It’s a great way to use imagery to explain what a story is about. Along with a specially selected excerpt, it’s a perfect way for readers to see at a glance what the story is about. I’m a prolific reader, and I’ve enjoyed seeing these. It’s’s resulted in… Continue reading Teaser Thursday – Finding Amanda.
