Blog Tour - Make or Break

About the book
Jess, a 29-year-old Londoner with a Kate Beckett fringe and a tendency for dramatics, gets taken on a surprise trip by her long-term boyfriend, Pete, to attend her best friend’s last-minute wedding in South Africa. Jess imagines sun, sand, wine and safaris. And returning to London with an ethically mined diamond on her left hand...
 
But this holiday isn’t set to be quite the fairy tale Jess has planned... Suddenly she finds her world tilting on its axis, and things are only set to get worse when Jess returns home…
 
Catherine Bennetto is back with her trademark wit and an equally hilarious cast of characters who will have you rooting for them from the first page.

My Review
Oh wow where do I begin! When I read the blurb for this I just knew this would be the perfect read for me and it did not let me down! It has everything you want in a good chic lit novel.

I absolutely adored the characters in this especially Jess. I laughed, cried and smiled with her. She is so easy to like and I just loved following her story.

There are so many laugh out loud hilarious moments along with a few teary ones too! 

Overall this is such a delightful read and you will be hooked from the very first chapter. I sat down with this one morning in the garden and I just spent the whole day reading it. It is fantastic! 

An absolute joy to read!

Under the midnight sun of Arctic Norway, Cecilie Wiig goes online and stumbles across Hector Herrera in a band fan forum. They start chatting and soon realise they might be more than kindred spirits. But there are two big problems: Hector lives 8,909km away in Mexico. And he's about to get married.
Can Cecilie, who's anchored to two jobs she loves in the library and a cafe full of colourful characters in the town in which she grew up, overcome the hurdles of having fallen for someone she's never met? Will Hector escape his turbulent past and the temptations of his hectic hedonistic life and make a leap of faith to change the path he's on?

Cover Reveal - Forgive Me Not

Today I am over the moon to be part of the cover reveal for 'Forgive Me Not' by 'Samantha Tonge.' I love Samantha's novels so I can't wait to read this one! The cover looks fantastic! 

So here it is... 

Publication date 23rd July 2018

About the book
Forgiveness can be hard to come by… An unputdownable new novel from bestseller Samantha Tonge 

How far would you go to make amends? 

When Emma fled her home at Foxglove Farm, she’d let down and hurt those who cared for her most. But now, two years later, she’s ready to face up to her past; she’s ready to go back.
But Emma’s unannounced return causes more problems than she could have foreseen. The people she knew and loved aren’t ready to forget, let alone forgive. And the one person she wants to reconnect with the most, her mother, can’t remember who she is.
Just as Emma starts to rebuild trust, an uncovered family secret and a shocking past crime threaten her newly forged future... 

Sometimes simply saying sorry isn’t enough. 

Perfect for readers of Ruth Hogan or Amanda Prowse, this is an extraordinary and unforgettable novel about running away from yourself – and finding a way back.

Blog Tour - The Cosy Seaside Chocolate Shop

Publication date 28th June 2018
About the book

When Emma opened her gorgeous little chocolate shop in the harbour village of Warkton-by-the-Sea, she realised a lifelong dream. Love is also blossoming with her hunky beau, Max, who’s slowly healing her fragile heart.
Summer is here and life has never felt so sweet. Until the rainclouds start to gather…
A rival sweet shop and killjoy landlord give Emma a headache, and when a face from the past turns up unannounced, Emma finds herself spiralling down memory lane. With Max’s crazy work schedule driving him to distraction, Emma’s in danger of making some choices she might regret . . .
With close friends, spaniel Alfie, and the whole village behind her, can Emma get the chocolate shop and her love life back on track?
My Review
From that very second I seen the cover for this I was so excited, I mean look at it, it is just so summery and beautiful.

What delighted me even more was that this was a follow on from the first book The Cosy Christmas Chocolate Shop. I couldn't wait to find out what was happening next for Emma and the Chocolate shop and of course her dog Alfie.
  
My goodness this did not let me down it was Fabulous! I found myself so engrossed the minute I picked up the book I just couldn't put it down before I knew it I had reached the end.  

Oh and the chocolates wow! They made my mouth water, they sounded so delicious, I loved imaging what they tasted like. My imagination went into overdrive!

When reading this I just didn't know what was going to happen next or how the book would end and I absolutely loved that! It kept me guessing right until the end.

Perfection!
