Book length - 400 pages Book Depository - www.bookdepository.com Amazon UK - The Walworth Beauty Amazon US - www.amazon.com BLURB From the Booker-shortlisted author comes a sensuous, evocative novel exploring the lives of women in Victorian London, for fans of Sarah Waters, Emma Donoghue, and Kate Atkinson. Apricot Place, a cul-de-sac in Walworth: in 1851, a leafy village on the fringes of a rapidly swelling London; in 2011, a clamorous neighborhood where Madeleine moves when she loses her job as a lecturer. Immersing herself in local history, she reads London Labour and the London Poor, Henry Mayhew’s treatise documenting Victorian working class lives. Joseph Benson is one of Mayhew’s researchers, employed to interview the city’s manifold poor, from market traders and shoe-shiners to pickpockets and fraudsters. A family man with mouths to feed, he is tasked with coaxing testimony from prostitutes. He roams the labyrinthine slums of Southwark, but gaudily-painted faces turn hostile when asked for revelations—and Joseph is not immune to the temptations they offer. Yet when he meets Mrs. Dulcimer, the elegant proprietor of a Walworth boarding house, Joseph’s eyes will slowly be opened to the realities of women’s lives. As these entwined stories unfold, alive with the sensations of London past and present, the two eras brush against each other: a breath at Madeleine’s neck, a voice in her head—the city’s ghosts echoing through time. Rendered in sensuous, immediate prose, The Walworth Beauty is a haunting tale of desire and exploitation, isolation and loss, and the faltering search for human connection; Michèle Roberts at her intoxicating, masterful best. MY REVIEW I wasn't sure what to expect from THE WALWORTH BEAUTY by Michèle Roberts and was pleasantly surprised at this deep and meaningful tale of love and life moving from the past to present. In 1851 Joseph's eyes are harshly opened to the reality of life for a woman as he gathers research for Henry Mayhew, while in 2011 Madeleine throws herself back into the past as she becomes engrossed in Mayhew's findings. Through Roberts excellent writing skills that ebb and flow at the perfect moment, the reader becomes a part of the tale effortlessly as you want to soak in everything this story has to offer. THE WALWORTH BEAUTY by Michèle Roberts is an enigmatic and often unsettling story that is about women at its heart - their wants, their needs, their desires, hopes & dreams, and their harsh realities, which transcend time and place to capture the attention of us all. A captivating and thought-provoking read. BOOK RATING - 📖📖📖📖 4 Author Bio: Michèle Brigitte Roberts is the author of fifteen novels, including Ignorance which was nominated for the Women's Prize for Fiction and Daughters of the House which won the W.H.

Book length - 384 pages Book Depository - www.bookdepository.com Amazon UK - The VIP Doubles Down (Wager of Hearts) Amazon US - www.amazon.com BLURB In the witty, sizzling finale to award-winning author Nancy Herkness’s Wager of Hearts series, a haunted writer conquers his demons with the help of a feisty muse and a passion that doesn’t play by the book. Gavin Miller, the billionaire author of a bestselling thriller series, struggles with a grim secret: he hasn’t written a word in more than a year. Writer’s block is killing his spirit and jeopardizing his contracts with his publisher and his Hollywood producers. Prodded by his agent, Gavin reluctantly agrees to see Allie Nichols, a sassy physical therapist tasked with treating the novelist’s severe neck and shoulder pain—and maybe his writer’s block, too. The tempestuous Gavin and no-nonsense Allie soon find themselves entangled in a steamy affair that sparks Gavin’s creativity again. But their manipulative ex-lovers and Gavin’s lingering childhood scars threaten their happily ever after. Can Gavin and Allie find their way to love when the stakes are high and the obstacles are overwhelming? MY REVIEW This is the final instalment of the Wager of Hearts series, and while it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the series from start to finish, as these characters will really get under your skin and burrow into your heart. Gavin Millar cannot overcome his writer's block and with pressure mounting from all sides, his mental anguish is showing itself in a physical way too with severe back pain, but he feels it is no less than he deserves. Against his wishes, he agrees to see a physical therapist recommended by his agent and while Allie eases his physical pain, she also starts to work her way under his surly attitude and helps to free his creative spirit too. Allie is trying to make a fresh start with her life after her recent divorce to her childhood sweetheart, and she really needs her freelance business to be a success. But she did not bet on the instant attraction to the brooding Mr. Millar. The more they get to know each other, the more Allie wants to do whatever she can to ease Gavin's burdens, but she has learned from the past that she cannot give everything for nothing in return. As their unbelievable chemistry explodes, Gavin will do whatever he can to keep her by his side, but as the pain from his past collides with his present, will is fear of trust destroy everything? And then there is the matter of the wager... With excellent characters that you will instantly care about, enchanting settings, and vivid descriptions that pull you into the story, THE VIP DOUBLES DOWN by Nancy Herkness, has everything you want and more from a romance novel. Allie is one of my favourite characters from the series as she is so caring and selfless, but yet strong enough to stand up for herself when she has too. Gavin is the epitome of the brooding writer, who doesn't want to face the demons from his past that are eating him up from the inside out. The development of the relationship between Allie and Gavin was so enjoyable to watch, and their heat together will leave you blushing!!! THE VIP DOUBLES DOWN by Nancy Herkness, like all of her other stories, is essential reading for romance fans and I cannot wait to see what is next!!

Book length - 320 pages Book Depository - www.bookdepository.com Amazon UK - Skullsworn Amazon US - www.amazon.com BLURB For one apprentice assassin, the clock is ticking . . . Pyrre Lakatur doesn’t like the description skullsworn. It doesn’t capture the beauty of her devotion to Ananshael, God of Death. And she’s not an assassin, but a priestess. Or she will be, if she can pass her final trial. The problem isn’t killing, as Pyrre has spent her life training for this. The problem is love. To pass the trial, she will have fourteen days to kill seven people detailed in an ancient song, including one true love, ‘who will not come again’. However, Pyrre has never been in love, time is short, and if she fails she’ll be given to her god. Pyrre’s not afraid to die, but she hates to fail. So a month before the trial begins, she returns to the violent city of her birth, where she once offered an abusive father to the god. Here Pyrre hopes to find love – and end it with the edge of her knife. MY REVIEW Having never read anything by Brian Staveley before, I was a little unsure how I would fare with SKULLSWORN as it is a prequel of sorts to his already successful, The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne series. But I worried needlessly as I was instantly sucked into this captivating, brutal, fantasy world. In this standalone tale, we follow the journey of Pyrre Lakatur as she prepares for her final trial before becoming a Priestess of Ananshael - and what a journey it is. With wonderfully detailed settings, rich and evocative language, I became completely engrossed in this harsh world where one must sacrifice everything to achieve their goals. With blood, death, and love twisted together, this perfectly paced novel really stands out in the fantasy genre, and I cannot wait to read the remainder of the series. SKULLSWORN by Brian Staveley is a must for fantasy fiction fans worldwide. BOOK RATING - 📖📖📖📖📖 5 Author Bio: Brian Staveley is the author of the award-winning fantasy trilogy, The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne. After teaching literature, philosophy, history, and religion for more than a decade, he began writing fiction.

Brian lives on a steep dirt road in the mountains of southern Vermont, where he divides his time between fathering, writing, husbanding, splitting wood, skiing, and adventuring, not necessarily in that order.

A thriving business, good looks, power, money and women who’ll drop their drawers at the click of his skilled fingers. Just how he likes it. Everything changes one day when a stipulation in his deceased Uncle’s will, scuppers his visionary plans. The only way to get what’s rightfully his, is to marry. Who? It doesn’t matter, because the enigmatic bachelor will stop at nothing and play dirty to get what is his. Sophia Lewis had nothing until she started working directly for Daniel at Dukes Industries. Having grown up in care, she’s tough, has an answer for everything and knows how to handle all varieties of men. For two years, Sophia has attended to her overbearing boss’ every whim. Gone above and beyond the call of duty. When an indecent proposal presents itself, boundaries are pushed and limits are tested. Can Daniel and Sophia remain professional to fool the dead Uncle’s Lawyers? As lines become blurred and tempers become frayed, can two strong willed souls be the key to unlock each other’s hidden secrets? Or will the high price of the deal come at a devastating cost to them both? *Warning* Mature themes and one hell of a cliff hanger! MY REVIEW J.D. Hughes, you are the reason I did absolutely nothing today - I began reading MY BEAUTIFUL DISASTER at lunchtime and could not stop until I got to the end, which left me desperate for part two of this electrifying story. Be warned this story is sassy, sexy, and strong, with two main characters who are desperate to keep their pasts buried, but as their lives finally seem to be merging together in a beautiful way, their heartbreak will resurface at the worst possible time. Sophia is the perfect female character as she is a survivor who can take care of herself while always protecting her heart and those she loves. So when she finds herself agreeing to her boss' half-assed scheme of a convenient marriage, she cannot help but wonder if she is going crazy. But the closer she gets to Daniel, the more she begins to open the shuttered door to her damaged heart. But can she really trust him or herself to walk away unhurt when it is over? Daniel needs someone he can trust to fulfil the stipulations of his Uncle's will, and Sophia fits the bill perfectly. So what if he is attracted to her - nothing will ever come of it. But when his life and Sophia's is threatened, everything starts to spiral out of control, and when a secret from his past is made known, will he lose the only person that matters to him? MY BEAUTIFUL DISASTER by J.D. Hughes is one of those books that gets under your skin and makes you want more. I laughed out loud, felt the scorching heat jump off the page, and felt unbelievable sadness, as Sophia and Daniel struggled to come to terms with what they really want and feel for each other. These characters are so well written and the chemistry between them is off the charts!!! MY BEAUTIFUL DISASTER by J.D. Hughes is more than just a sexy romance - it is a story of damaged hearts, friendship, love, and finding your place in this messed up world. Warning - this book does end with a cliffhanger but luckily for you MY BEAUTIFUL DISASTER Part Two is ready and waiting for you to download. BOOK RATING - 📖📖📖📖📖 5++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Author Bio: J.D. Hughes writes fun, romantic suspense fiction. Born and raised in Worcestershire, she has lived in London and Northern Ireland but has returned to the city she loves. Despite training in Musical Theatre and directing many productions, J.D. Hughes soon found she preferred making up her own stories, always completed with happy endings. When she’s not writing, she loves to read, walk her puppy and embarrass her three children. Her debut Novel ‘You Have My Heart’, published in 2016 was selected as an Amazon Customer Favourite. ‘My Beautiful Disaster’ is the next release and is a two-part series.

Happy reading!!! CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT Sophia Louise Lewis is the leading lady in My Beautiful Disaster. She is twenty-six years old and works as a secretary for Daniel Dukes at Dukes Industries. Unmarried and single is the way she likes it until Daniel offers her an indecent proposal. She’s fiercely strong and independent, has a heart of gold, and has a past that haunts her every day of her life. When did you create her? I created Sophia Lewis around five years ago. I had a story line of her background in mind and needed to bring her to life, in my mind’s eye anyway. She deserved to have her story told because of her dark and secretive past. Essentially, I needed her to be happy so had to complete her story more so than anything else I’ve ever written. If she was happy, I would be too. I’d written a book called You Have My Heart last year in which the leading lady was scared of her own shadow to begin with, yet became strong by the end. For Sophia, well, she’s different. She was born strong. Throughout the book, you see her vulnerable side every so often but make no mistake, she’s a badass, due to her horrific past. I wanted to write a character related to the strong independent women I know and Sophia was perfect in every way. Did you write the book to accommodate Sophia or Sophia to accommodate the book? I wrote the book to accommodate Sophia. Her story was already cemented in my mind and the book evolved because of her. What do you like most about her? I like that she has a no nonsense attitude but knows how to reign it in when needed. I love that she grew up surrounded by bikers and that she can hold her own. Her attitude and one liners are brilliant but most of all, I love the way that whatever has happened to her regarding her past, she still manages to paint on a smile and has a good heart. She’s funny, witty, intelligent, beautiful and a pure soul. What do you like least about her? Nothing. I love her. I hope my daughter grows up to be as smart, proud, caring and as wonderful as Sophia. Actually, I hate that she’s so troubled and finds it hard to let go of her demons. But without those elements, I wouldn’t have had a story. Did your early readers/editorial team like Sophia to start with or did you have to change her in any way? Everybody who has read My Beautiful Disaster so far loves Sophia. She’s very easy to relate to because she has a natural charm about her that you fall in love with or admire. I couldn’t and wouldn’t change Sophia for anything. . . Well, except her back story. Some chapters took me months to write because I kept crying. She’s an exceptional young woman. Does she have any similarities with anyone real? Sophia has many traits of my friends. Each part of her is made up of unique parts of my best friends. I see myself in her too. Her strength is equal to mine. What are your plans for her? My characters, especially Sophia, will always have a happy ending, even if there are trials and tribulations to overcome first. My Beautiful Disaster is a two-part series. I couldn’t fit her story into one book. And I was sad to let her go. Would you be friends in real life? Hell yes. She ‘d be a blast to have a night on the town with. I imagine Sophia would be the most perfect best friend ever. She loves wine, so what’s not to like? *I want to thank Emma from EDM Editorial & Publicity Services, and J.D. Hughes, for the opportunity to review this addictive novel, and take part in this blog tour. Now I'm off to read the next instalment - Do not disturb!!!   Release date - 13th April 2017

MY REVIEW Today I am on the blog tour for THE MAGICIAN'S LIE by Greer Macallister and I cannot wait to share my thoughts on this hugely successful novel. The concept of this story immediately fascinated me as I was always interested in the art and mystery of the magical world of illusion, and the people behind the facade. So going into this book I was prepared to be dazzled, but this story is so much more than dazzling. It is 1905 and Officer Holt, who is struggling to deal with his own problems, stumbles across The Amazing Arden, the most famous female illusionist of their time, who is currently the number one suspect in the murder of her husband. Arresting her and bringing her back to his office in the dead of night, Holt is determined to get the truth out of this woman, And so begins Arden's story of the woman behind the magic. As the narrative switches from her past to her present, the brutality of the harsh world she lived in is mixed with love, honesty, and the determination of a survivor.
