A good story that possibly needs a little bit more oomf for me to really sink my teeth into

This was a short, sweet and delicious 2 novellas in one, another Lauren Blakely wonderful story.

A chance meeting with a smart sexy Brit yes please!!

Shane East and Erin Mallon as usual are fantastic and give us a masterclass in flirting.

Joe Arden and Andi Arndt together is just pure joy, they are the best at witty banter and instant chemistry.

I love the fact that Lauren is refreshing her old stories, Jill and Davis had so much chemistry it was scorching hot!

A forbidden romance between a hot director and a gorgeous Broadway actress, sign me up please!!

Sebastian York and Ava Erickson were both just perfect for these roles, and the narration by them was as always perfect!

A sad but uplifting book that follows Edward a sole survivor of a plane crash, I can't imaging the feeling this poor kid had to go through, but it was expertly written.

It deals with death, heartbreak and grief and walks through every stage with Edward.

A great read, and would definitely recommend.

I hate to say it, but I preferred the movie to this one!!

Hello book friends, I hope you are all doing well?

While I'm in lockdown I've been getting through some great reads, this one was no exception

This book starts with every parent's nightmare, Marin our MC of this story is currently Christmas shopping with her 4 year old little boy Sebastian, Bash for short, it's busy and there are people everywhere. She gets a text from her husband Derek, and takes her eyes off of Bash for 1 minute while she answers it, when she looks down, Bash is not there!

Jumping forward to over a year later, the FBI are still coming up with nothing, Bash is still missing, Marin is barely making it through the day, and she has just found out from her Private Detective, that Derek is having an affair with an Instagram famous twenty-something year old!

Marin and Derek are very very wealthy, and this book just shows that money can't buy you everything you want......or can it?

With twists and turns i didn't see coming, this one will keep you up reading way past bedtime!


This story is about friends, 3 groups of friends in this case, they have been best friends since the wives met at Antenatal/Parenting classes, and they have been in each others lives ever since, 15 years to be precise. In fact, all of their children are also best friends, and 2 of them are actually dating!

Every week they have a dinner party, some are nice and posh, other times a takeaway, but they swap houses every week, and each week they talk and dream about what they would do if they ever won the lottery.

The 3 couples are in a Syndicate, and each week Lexi collects the money from Jennifer, Fred, Carla and Patrick, but one night there is an argument between them all, while having the usual Saturday dinner night, things get said, and tensions are high, so much so that words are exchanged and Fred, Jennifer, Carla and Patrick pull out of the syndicate and go home.

Jake and Lexi are naturally upset that they have fallen out with their best friends, but carry on with life as usual, Lexi works at the local Citizens Advice and helps lots of underprivileged people with things like debt management, housing, immigration, and landlord-tenant disputes.

As Saturday rolls around as usual, Lexi comes home to a very excited husband, their lottery numbers have come up!!
After a couple of calls to the National Lottery, it is confirmed that they are winners, and they have won £17.8 Million!!!!

Jake has dollar signs in his eyes, listing what he is going to spend the money on, and Lexi is trying to come to terms with the windfall.

There is just one problem! Jennifer, Fred, Carla and Patrick want a cut of the money!

There are also a few other stories woven into this one very cleverly, and what started out as a compelling read to find out what Lexi's family was going to do, actually turned into a very suspenseful, gripping read, a few times I shouted NOOOOOO while I was reading it.

This is a fantastic read, and I flew through the book and nearly read it in one sitting, I would thoroughly recommend it.

**Thank you to HQ Stories and the Author for sending me a copy of this book**
