Book Tour – The Secret Twins of Paris by Suzanne Kelman @suzkelman @bookouture #BooksOnTour #Review #HistoricalFiction #DualTimeline #TheSecretTwinsOfParis

One of the many pleasures of taking part in book tours is discovering new authors. I understand that Suzanne Kelman has an impressive back catalogue, but this is the first book that I have read from her, and it won’t be the last. My thanks to the team at Bookouture for the tour invitation andContinue reading “Book Tour – The Secret Twins of Paris by Suzanne Kelman @suzkelman @bookouture #BooksOnTour #Review #HistoricalFiction #DualTimeline #TheSecretTwinsOfParis”

Having thoroughly enjoyed Sharon’s Tuppenny Bridge Series and then, surprisingly, her Rowan Vale books, I was excited to learn about this, the first book in Sharon’s brand-new series set on the East Yorkshire Coast. I can promise that it didn’t disappoint! If you’d like to read a couple of my earlier reviews, you can followContinue reading “ARC Review – Take Me Home to Kelsea Sands by Sharon Booth @BoldwoodBooks #BookReview #PublicationDay #RespectRomFic #TakeMeHomeToKelseaSands”

I feel privileged to count Lynda Stacey as a friend. She has been an absolute rock in the past twelve months, and I will forever be grateful for her support. That said, I am often more critical when reviewing the work of an author with whom I have a connection, so rest assured that myContinue reading “ARC Review – The One Night Stand by LH Stacey @LyndaStacey @BoldwoodBooks #PublicationDay #BookReview #BlogTour #RomanticSuspense #TheOneNightStand”

Since discovering Susan’s writing, I have had the pleasure of participating in several of her blog tours and serving as a beta reader. I am part of Susan’s ARC team in addition to taking part in this fabulous blog tour; however, I didn’t get an earlier chance to read and review. I do hope SoozContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Boulangerie on the Corner by Susan Buchanan @susan_buchanan @rararesources #PublicationDay #Giveaway #IndieAuthor #BlogTour #BookReview #RespectRomFic #EuropeanEscapes #TheBoulangerieOnTheCorner”

I recently joined a Facebook Group for ARC readers, as I really enjoy working with Indie Authors and helping get their books known. The Grumpy Landlord was billed as a Steamy Grumpy Sunshine Best Friend’s Brother Romance, which is pretty accurate, but I feel it undersold the intensity of some sequences. I received a digitalContinue reading “ARC Review – The Grumpy Landlord by Anna May Grace @annamaygraceauthor #BookReview #BookBlogger #RespectRomFic #IndieAuthor #TheGrumpyLandlord”

I have really enjoyed each book from Eva Glyn and look forward to each new release. This one had been sitting on my Kindle for some time, burning a hole in my resolve, but I had too many commitments to sneak it in any sooner. If you haven’t read any of her books before, sheContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Croatian Island Library by Eva Glyn @JaneCable @rararesources @0neMoreChapter_ #BlogTour #BookReview #Giveaway #RespectRomFic #TheCroatianIslandLibrary”

I discovered Caroline’s writing through blogging and have been delighted by each of her books that I have read. Her comedic timing and depth of research make for some glorious stories and plenty of laughs. If you’d like to read a couple of my previous reviews, please follow these links: The Cruise Club and AtticusContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Arctic Cruise by Caroline James @carolinejames12 @rararesources @carolinejames1.bsky.social #BookReview #BlogTour #PublicationDay #TheArcticCruise”

I thoroughly enjoy Jo’s writing style and always accept invitations to join her blog tours. I only started reading her books at the beginning of this series, but I’ve read everything since, I believe. She has a real talent for building characters that are engaging and relatable, a gift for any writer. If you wouldContinue reading “Blog Tour – A Fresh Start at the Cornish Country Hospital by Jo Bartlett @J_B_Writer @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BlogTour #BookReview #RespectRomFic #PublicationDay #boldwoodbloggers #booktwt #BookSky #AFreshStartAtTheCornishCountryHospital”

What better way to kick off my blogging in 2026 than to take part in the blog tour for Jessica Redland’s latest Escape to the Lakes instalment? On the vague off chance that you are not familiar with this author’s writing, then there is a fabulous back catalogue to explore. Still, my absolute favourite isContinue reading “Blog Tour – Tomorrow Starts Today by Jessica Redland @JessicaRedland @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #BookReview #booktwt #BookSky #boldwoodbloggers #PublicationDay #RespectRomFic #TomorrowStartsToday”

I have been reading and reviewing Holly Martin’s books for some years. Until recently, I was part of her ARC team, but unfortunately, my health made me somewhat unreliable. I still love her books and bought this one to make sure I could read and review it. My sincere apologies for reviewing a Christmas bookContinue reading “Review – The Cottage on Christmas Gardens by Holly Martin @hollymauthor #BookReview #RespectRomFic #booktwt #BookSky #Christmas #TheCottageOnChristmasGardens”
