About the Book

There’s a baby in your house. It isn’t yours…

The day I was told I’d never be able to have a child, my world came crashing down. My husband says he still loves me but I lie awake at night, wishing we could have a family.

One morning, my husband’s side of the bed is cold and empty. I hear a noise and head downstairs.

In the middle of the rug in my living room is a wooden drawer. Swaddled inside, with perfect rosy cheeks and beautiful round blue eyes, a baby gazes up at me.

I shiver. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, but this baby is not mine…

An absolutely addictive page-turner with heart-pounding twists from beginning to end. Fans of The Woman in the Window, Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell won’t be able to put this jaw-dropping psychological thriller down!

My Review 

Oh my god! What a book! Let me tell you I picked this up in the morning and after reading that first chapter I was hooked and that was my days plans ruiened, I spent the rest of my day reading this whole book it was my main priority. I swear the amount of twists is insane! Each and every one of them you won't see coming and they will shock you to your core. Absolutely fantastic characters. Very emotional and frightening parts. This will definitely go straight to number 1 in the bestsellers charts.

Blog Tour - The Bridal Party

 

Amazon UK

Publication date 29th April 2024

About the Book

The moment she sees Caitlyn, wearing her ‘bride-to-be’ sash and brimming with excitement, it hits her. She hates Caitlyn. She knows who Little Miss Perfect really is – what she’s really hiding. And the temptation to do something about it is too strong to resist…

When the first bottle of prosecco pops open I breathe a sigh of relief. As maid-of-honour, I’ve worked so hard to organise my best friend Caitlyn’s big celebration before her wedding. Even though her schoolfriends are jealous they aren’t bridesmaids like me, and her sisters won’t make eye contact, I plaster a fake smile on my face and top up everyone’s glasses. Nothing will spoil this special weekend.

But as we begin the cute husband-and-wife games, Caitlyn’s sister-in-law reveals something shockingly cruel. In the silence that follows, the little question cards I’d made drop, forgotten, to the floor. We’re supposed to be celebrating her upcoming wedding but Caitlyn’s lied to me for years. Her relationship is far from the magical dream she’d made it out to be.

Suddenly, everyone in the room is arguing. All of our secrets and lies are exposed. It’s clear that none of us really know each other – or Caitlyn.

The next morning I find Caitlyn, beautiful, pale and unmoving in her bed. The bride is dead. One of us killed her. But which devastating truth was dangerous enough to kill for? And with us all stuck here until the murderer is found, how long will it be until someone else gets hurt…?

Perfect for fans of The Perfect Marriage, Lucinda Berry, and Freida McFadden, this is an utterly compelling and shocking psychological thriller with amazingly unexpected twists. This book was originally published as The Hen Party.

My Review

Literally still in shock from this book! After reading the description of this book it sounded absolutely fantastic so I had to delve straight in and my goodness I had no idea the twists that came! It is a book that will have you hooked. I was flying through the pages, I need edge to know what happened to Caitlyn. I’d tears in my eyes at times it was very emotional. The way the author has written this book is perfect for this story, I also found this made it more surprising and just easy to read. Amazing characters, plenty to love and plenty to hate. I can definitely see this book going straight to the top of the charts.

Cover Reveal - A Love Letter To Paris

 

About the Book

Late at night when I wander the streets of Paris, my thoughts turn to her… How do I tell her how I feel? Perhaps, I need to show her…

The pretty little streets of Montmartre are abuzz with a rumour. Apparently a mystery matchmaker, known only as ‘Paris Cupid’, has somehow helped the city’s most famous bachelor find love.

But old-fashioned romantic Lilou is staying very quiet. She’d just wanted to set up her best friend, and to get on with her life selling whimsical old love letters, in Paris’s famous St. Ouen market.

She hadn’t imagined her little Paris Cupid project could ever have attracted so many people looking for true, heartfelt romance. Though the truth is that Lilou adores helping people find the right person. Even if her own love life is nothing short of disastrous.

But then a message arrives. And it’s just for her. Someone is in love with her. Someone who knows her secret. But they’re keeping their own identity secret too… Could it be from cheerful, talkative, flame-haired Felix? Or quiet, beautifully handsome Benoit? Or even Pascale – who drives Lilou mad every day?

After so long of helping others find their soulmate, is it time for Lilou to find love of her own in Paris herself?

With her spirits restored, Ally returns home, picks up the reins again and sets her sights on another successful season, but when Logan unexpectedly arrives on the scene, she soon realises she’s in for a summer that’s going to be far from straightforward…

My Review

What an absolute pleasure it was to read this book. As a huge fan if this author I was extremely excited to read this and knew I had to start this right away.

Let me tell you that first chapter has to be one of the best first chapters I have ever read. We are introduced to the main characters Ally and Logan and they are extremely lovable.

The locations in this book are absolutely beautiful and I wished I was there so many times. Kittiwake Cove sounded absolutely stunning and would be the perfect little summer holiday location.

The story itself is just perfect, I really loved it and didn’t want it to end. Once you pick this up you will not be able to put it down it is addictive. This will definitely be the bestseller of the summer! Will definitely recommend this!
