This is the second instalment in the new series from Jill Steeples, and it’s a lovely follow-up. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one: The Forever Cottage (Link to my review), so it was a treat to return to the Cotswolds and see what was happening. My thanks to Rachel Gilbey of Rachel’s Random Resources forContinue reading “Blog Tour – Healing Hearts at the Forever Cottage by Jill Steeples @jillesteeples @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BookReview #BlogTour #boldwoodbloggers #RespectRomFic #BookSky #BookThreads #HealingHeartsAtTheForeverCottage”

It’s my pleasure to help with the cover reveal for Voice Notes by Bettina Hunt. The details and synopsis are below. Synopsis Sometimes love doesn’t start with a spark… it starts with a send. Frankie Porter didn’t mean to send her wine-fuelled break-up voice note to a stranger.But, in her defence, it was a veryContinue reading “Cover Reveal – Voice Notes by Bettina Hunt @BettinaHuntAuth #CoverReveal #IndieAuthor #BookSky #BookThreads #VoiceNotes”

I have adored Nicola’s writing since I first read the Cockleberry Bay series. That was long before I started my blog, so I was thrilled when her Ferry Lane Market series was launched. Last year, the groundbreaking How Do I Tell You? (Link to my review) jumped onto my books of the year list beforeContinue reading “Blog Tour – Escape To Seahaven Bay by Nicola May @nicolamay1 @rararesources @stormbooks_uk #RespectRomFic #BookReview #BookBlogger #BlogTour #BookSky #BookThreads #New Series #PublicationDay #Giveaway #EscapeToSeahavenBay”

I always look forward to new releases from Katie Fforde and feel fortunate to receive links from her publisher for access to her NetGalley ARCs. I first discovered Katie’s books back in 2005 when a former teacher friend loaned me a copy, and I was instantly hooked. I also love that a conversation on TwitterContinue reading “ARC Review – A Cottage in the Country by Katie Fforde @katiefforde @BloomsburyBooks #PublicationDay #BookReview #RespectRomFic #ACottageInTheCountry”

It’s been a moment since I last read a book by Carmel Harrington, and I was not aware that she had made a genre shift into thrillers. So, I was surprised by this book, but in a very good way. I do enjoy a good thriller, and this is a great one.

It’s my pleasure to help with the cover reveal for the forthcoming thriller by Lisa Jewell. If you aren’t familiar with her books, I can highly recommend them; she has an impressive back catalogue of New York Times and Sunday Times bestsellers. I was delighted to be invited to the cover reveal and would likeContinue reading “Cover Reveal – It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell @lisajewelluk @Tr4cyF3nt0n @penguinrandom #CoverReveal #Thriller #July2026 #ItCouldHaveBeenHer”

This is the first book I have read by Jenny O’Brien, but I do like discovering new authors, so I was immediately intrigued by the author bio and synopsis. Despite being cautious of war-related stories, I am pleased that I agreed to join this blog tour. I’m now determined to read from Jenny’s back catalogue,Continue reading “Blog Tour – The Resistance Knitting Club by Jenny O’Brien @scribblerjb @rararesources @stormbooks_co #BookReview #BlogTour #WW2 #PublicationDay #TheResistanceKnittingClub”

We are now up to book 17 in this fantastic series, and it’s another smashing instalment. Margaret Amatt has been a terrific discovery, and I have adored every one of her books so far. We share a similar sense of humour and a love for the Perthshire area of Scotland. If you would like toContinue reading “Blog Tour – Faking the Grade at Glenbriar High by Margaret Amatt @AmattAuthor @rararesources #BlogTour #BookReview #PublicationDay #Glenbriar #BlogTour #RespectRomFic #FakingTheGradeAtGlenbriarHigh”

I can happily admit to being a huge fan of Jill Mansell’s writing. It was her book, Fast Friends, that got me back into reading romantic fiction after spending years favouring thrillers. I still read the occasional thriller, but my heart lies in romance, and one look at my blog shows how many I readContinue reading “ARC Review – Just One Look at You by Jill Mansell @jillmansell #PublicationDay #BookThreads #BookSky #BookReview #RespectRomFic #JustOneLookAtYou”

Ever since I discovered Julie’s books, I have taken part in most of her cover reveals and blog tours. As a self-confessed Scotiafile, I thoroughly enjoy books based north of the border, and Julie’s never disappointed me. If you would like to read a couple of my earlier reviews, you can follow these links: AContinue reading “Blog Tour – Journey to the Scottish Highlands by Julie Shackman @G13Julie @juliegeorginashackman @rararesources @0neMoreChapter_ #BookReview #BlogTour #RespectRomFic #PublicationDay #BookSky #BookThreads #JourneyToTheScottishHighlands”
