About the Book
Everyone thinks my husband is dead. Just like we planned…

Eleven years ago, my husband disappeared. Eleven long hard years I waited, my heart breaking for our son, who didn’t know his father was coming back.

Today, my hands shake as I try to understand what I’ve just learned: my husband has a new wife. This wasn’t part of our plan.

Eleven years ago, my husband made a terrible mistake. I sacrificed everything to help him fix it. But now he’s put our son and me in danger again.

We had a plan. He broke the rules. But who will pay the price?

A completely gripping and addictive thriller from the number 1 ebook bestselling author K.L. Slater, The Married Man will have you glued to the pages until the very last twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden.

My Review

When I see a new book by this author immediately run for my kindle.

In my opinion this is this authors best book to date! I have never seen so many twists. Right till that last chapter the twists kept coming. I kept thinking right thats what’s happened I’ve worked it out but then suddenly something came along and completely shocked me.

The storyline itself is very good. I’ve not read any like it before. I was excited to see how it was going to end and what would happen.

There are a lot of characters in this book, at first I found it a little hard to remember who was who and how they fitted into the story but bare with it because it doesn’t take long to know them.

Absolutely terrifying and addicting you will not be able to put this down.

Blog Tour - Stuck Together

 

Publication date 29th October 2024
About the book

The hate is real. So is the chemistry.

Annie is heading into the holidays alone. And as a confirmed singleton, she decides to open a shop selling the kind of treats every single woman would want to find under the tree. After all, who doesn’t like to get a 'Premium Sensual Lifestyle Product' for Christmas, right?

Penn is in a bind. He needs to come home for Christmas with a girl, or his parents will set him up with someone ‘suitable’. Nothing is too good for the Honourable Peregrine Burton-Edwards after all. But that’s not what Penn wants. He just wants to sell vintage records in his shop and meet a nice, normal girl.

The first time Annie and Penn meet, Annie feels a flutter in her chest – he’s tall, dark and handsome, with cheekbones you could sharpen a blade on. So when he offers to share the shop with her to save on rent, she gladly accepts.

Huge mistake… Annie and Penn are poles apart and butt heads at every turn. But with the holidays looming, Penn will soon need to ask for a big favour, and Annie, with no plans to speak of, is the only girl who can help. As the arguments get more heated, so do the sparks flying between them. Will they put their differences aside and come together? And could it be for more than just Christmas?

A completely addictive, utterly hilarious and totally swoonworthy romantic comedy, Stuck Together will make you fall head over heels for Annie and Penn. The perfect holiday read for fans of Catherine Walsh, Emily Henry and Mhairi McFarlane.

My Review

This is a book I will definitely be recommending this Christmas. It’s absolutely fantastic. The characters are perfect, I really loved them. I read this with a huge grin on my face. It’s pure feel good and makes you laugh so many times throughout. Oh and it’s such an easy read. Fabulous!

About the Book

How well do you really know the people you love the most?


The leafy village of South Langley is the sort of place where someone might kill to live. The Griffiths family has the best home of all – the climbing ivy framing their double bay windows. You can always spot Eve laughing with her husband and their sixteen-year-old-son. And Eve’s best friend Lisa and her teenage daughter Annie live in a charming cottage right across the street. Everything is perfect… Until one night something unthinkable turns the peaceful neighbourhood upside down.


Annie is found on the tiled floor of Eve’s kitchen struggling to breathe. As the blue flashing lights of police cars shatter the quiet streets, everyone is looking at the Griffiths family for answers.


With Annie’s life hanging in the balance, Eve is determined to find out what happened. But as she gets closer to the truth, she begins to question who she can really trust. Because someone is lying to her – is it her best friend, her husband or her son?


After all, we all have secrets. But how many of us would kill to keep them?


An utterly addictive and totally gripping psychological thriller filled secrets and lies from bestselling author A J McDine. Fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell will be glued until the final page!


My Review
What an absolutely incredible book. This had me hooked from that first chapter. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. The characters are fantastic. Once you pick this up be prepared to be unable to put this down. I found this very easy to read and the pace was good. There is so many twists in this you will be shocked so many times. I can definitely see this book become a best seller.

Blog Tour - His Ex Wife


Publication date 23rd October 2024
About the book
She wants him back. I want her gone.

I’ve never felt welcome in my husband 
Dominic’s family home. His parents make it clear I’m a poor comparison to his perfect first wife, Carla. But we’re here for Christmas, so it’s important to pretend everything is fine. Until Dominic’s mother bustles into our bedroom. Smiling thinly, she blindsides me: ‘You won’t mind, will you. Carla is coming for the holidays. She’s still one of the family to us, and she can’t get home because of the storm.’

My eyes widen – did she and Carla plan this on purpose? I know Dominic won’t say a thing. He never stands up to his parents. Apart from marrying me, I guess – with my past, I wasn’t exactly what his family wanted. But then I see the smallest hint of satisfaction cross his face. Did he know about this too?

When Carla arrives, her beautiful smile doesn’t fool me. And with the howling snowstorm promising days of ice-white isolation, we’re stuck here. It’s quickly clear that not only does she want Dominic back, she wants me gone. Forever…

But what neither she nor Dominic know, and his family can never guess, is that I’m far, far tougher than they give me credit for. I’ve survived before.
 If I have to, I would kill to survive again…

This tense, twisted and utterly gripping psychological thriller is filled with deadly family secrets hiding in plain sight. Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, The Housemaid and Lisa Jewell.

My Review
Just when you think this author can’t get any better BOOM she’s brings out another spectacular psychological thriller and I definitely think this is their best yet.
So the book is based on a newly married couple facing their first married Christmas at the in law’s and already you can sense it’s all going to go wrong. From the minute they arrive at Dominic’s parents house I went into fear mode and I was scared and frightened for Natalie. I dreaded to think what was coming.
With every chapter I grew more and more addicted and absolutely struggled to pull myself away from this book. It’s completely terrifying and gripping.
I will definitely be recommending this book.
