ABOUT THIS BOOK WANTED! A caretaker for Roundhouse Row holiday cottages. WHERE? Nelson’s Bar is the perfect little village. Nestled away on the Norfolk coast we can offer you no signal, no Wi-Fi and – most importantly – no problems! WHO? The ideal candidate will be looking for an escape from their cheating scumbag ex-fiancé, a diversion from their entitled cousin, and a break from their traitorous friends. WHAT YOU’LL GET! Accommodation in a chocolate-box cottage, plus a summer filled with blue skies and beachside walks. Oh, and a reunion with the man of your dreams . PLEASE NOTE: We take no responsibility for any of the above scumbags, passengers and/or traitors walking back into your life… GET IN TOUCH NOW TO MAKE THIS A SUMMER TO REMEMBER! MY REVIEW From the moment I picked up A SUMMER TO REMEMBER to the moment I turned the final page, I was completely enthralled with this animating story of friendship, second chances, and new beginnings. When Clancy's relationship and business shatter to pieces all around her, she needs somewhere to escape to and fast. So taking up the caretaking position at the holiday cottages that she manages on behalf of her cousin, Alice, seems like the perfect answer. No internet, dodgy phone coverage, and a stunning setting in Cornwall sound like paradise to Clancy at the moment. But her arrival in the small village isn't welcomed by everyone as Clancy is unfairly lumped in with her flighty cousin who was last seen fleeing from the village after breaking the heart of local man Lee. As Clancy starts to settle in and explore her new life, she cannot help but feel an attraction to Aaron, Lee's brother, who owns the other half of the business but as the past bursts back into the present, could it ever work between them? And as Clancy must face up the pain of what has happened to her in London, is Cornwall her forever place or just a stopgap along the way? The setting is stunning and I have come to expect nothing less from Sue Moorcroft. I fell in love with these characters but Clancy is by far my favourite - strong, kind, understanding, and very relatable, Clancy quickly became a friend that I didn't want to leave until I knew how it would all work out for her. There is plenty of drama, laughs, and tears, and I loved getting to know this small community as they dealt with their own issues and the hardships that they had to navigate. A SUMMER TO REMEMBER by Sue Moorcroft is a wonderful story that will warm your heart and I cannot wait for more from Nelson's Bar.

ABOUT THIS BOOK Surely fairy tales don’t happen in real life? After being jilted at the altar, high-flying journalist Sam doesn’t believe in love any more – and she certainly doesn’t believe in fairy tales! So, when she’s asked to cover the Royal Wedding, it’s the last thing she wants to do. And when she crashes into a ridiculously handsome stranger, Anders, later that day, things are going from bad to worse. But as the big day draws closer, Sam finds herself being swept up in the excitement – as well as swept off her feet by Anders! But there’s something that Anders’s hiding from her – and when he finally reveals his secret, might Sam just have the happy-ever-after she never thought she wanted…? MY REVIEW A light and easy read, HOW (NOT) TO DATE A PRINCE by Zoe May is sure to entertain you on these bright evenings. Sam isn't really a fan of love and marriage ever since she was dumped at the altar by her ex a few years ago. Since that day she has thrown herself into her career as a political journalist and spent time with her friends who have always been there for her. But when her boss gives her a new assignment, Sam is not happy. Covering the royal wedding may be a dream come true for some people but not for Sam. But when she runs into a handsome reporter, Anders, also covering the wedding, things may be just looking up for Sam as she contemplates opening up her heart one more time. But is Anders everything he claims to be? Fun and flirty, HOW (NOT) TO DATE A PRINCE by Zoe May is sure to please romance readers everywhere, especially anyone who loves a little royalty thrown in for good measure. Zoe and her friends are amusing and there are plenty of misunderstandings to keep the pace of the story moving. An undemanding and pleasing read all round. AUTHOR BIO Zoe May lives in Oxford and writes romantic comedies. Zoe has dreamt of being a novelist since she was a teenager. She spent her twenties living in London, where she worked in journalism and copywriting before writing her debut novel, Perfect Match. Having experienced the London dating scene first hand, Zoe could not resist writing a novel about dating, since it seems to supply endless amounts of weird and wonderful material! Perfect Match was one of Apple's top-selling books of 2018. It was also shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Joan Hessayon Award, with judges describing it as 'a laugh out loud look at love and self-discovery - fresh and very funny'. As well as writing, Zoe enjoys walking her dog, painting and, of course, reading. She adores animals and if she's not taking a photo of a vegan meal, she's probably tweeting about the dairy industry. She is half Greek and half Irish and can make a mean baklava. Zoe has a thing for horror films, India, hip hop and Radiohead. She also has an encyclopaedic knowledge of handbags from having spent several years working in fashion copywriting and could probably win Mastermind if this were her specialist subject!

ABOUT THIS BOOK Cassie Crow, a pop-culture reporter for a TV talk show, is focused on becoming a “serious” journalist. But when she stumbles into a kilted Highlander with a killer accent, Cassie decides that taking one night off from work and spending it with a sexy Scot couldn’t hurt. . . Logan Reid has built a career on his charm, hosting a series of off-the-wall hijinks on the Web. But when the Scottish prankster meets the all-American, equal parts intelligent and irresistible Cassie, Logan realizes that one night of fun won’t be enough. Could it be that this career-focused, commitment-phobic couple is finally ready to take a chance at true and lasting love? MY REVIEW Sexy, fun, and steamy to boot, GETTING HOT WITH THE SCOT by Melonie Johnson is a feisty romance that is sure to please. Cassie Crow is thoroughly enjoying her holiday abroad with her best friends and picking up a collection of charms for her bracelet is the perfect way to remember her trip when she returns home. But Cassie didn't plan to pick up a sexy highlander while touring the stunning beauty of Edinburgh castle. But Logan Reid is known for being a prankster so can Cassie really trust him? Determined to take a more serious role in her career as a reporter on a tv talk show, Cassie knows she should focus on her career but there is something about Logan that tempts her far too much, and Logan soon realises that he wants more from Cassie than he has ever wanted before ... Emotional, witty, and enjoyable from beginning to end, GETTING HOT WITH THE SCOT by Melonie Johnson was everything I wanted it to be and more. The characters are likeable and I enjoyed getting to know them, and the settings are brought to life in a fun way which really worked for me. There is drama, friendship, and love nestled among these pages and I highly recommend this book to all romance fans. AUTHOR BIO A Star Wars junkie and Shakespeare groupie who quotes both Yoda and the Bard with equal aplomb, award-winning author Melonie Johnson—aka #thewritinglush—is a two-time RWA Golden Heart® finalist who loves dark coffee, cheap wine, and expensive beer. And margaritas. And mimosas. And mules. Basically any cocktail that starts with the letter m. She met her future husband in that most romantic of places—the mall—when they were teenagers working in stores across the hall from each other. Today, they live happily ever after in the magical land midway between Chicago and Milwaukee with their two redhead daughters, a dog that’s more like a small horse, and a pair of hermit crabs. After earning her Bachelor of Arts magna cum laude from Loyola University Chicago, Melonie taught high school English and Theatre in the northern Chicago suburbs for several years. Now she writes smart and funny contemporary romance and moonlights as an audiobook narrator under the pseudonym, Evelyn Eibhlin.

ABOUT THIS BOOK Summer is on the horizon, and the people of Porthmellow are eagerly awaiting the annual food festival. At least, most of them are… For Sam Lovell, organising the summer festival in her hometown is one of the highlights of her year. It’s not always smooth sailing, but she loves to see Porthmellow’s harbour packed with happy visitors, and being on the committee has provided a much-needed distraction from the drama in her family life (and the distinct lack of it in her love life). When their star guest pulls out with only a few weeks to go, everyone’s delighted when a London chef who grew up locally steps in at the last minute. But Gabe Matthias is the last person Sam was expecting to see, and his return to Porthmellow will change her quiet coastal life for ever. MY REVIEW A PERFECT CORNISH SUMMER by Phillipa Ashley is a wonderful story about community spirit, determination, and love against the odds. Years ago, Sam Lovell lost a lot - she lost her beloved mother, her brother was sent to prison, and the love of her life, Gabe, was the one who put him there. Alone with her sister, Sam threw herself into organising a food and family festival that just might save their lovely town. Now ten years later, and their festival is growing bigger and bigger, with celebrity chefs, hundreds of unique stalls, music, and fun for everyone. When the newest committee member and Sam's friend, Chloe, realises that they have been let down by their celebrity chef, she is delighted to find an even bigger and better replacement who even has links to the area. But Sam is shocked when she learns that Gabe is flying to the rescue. How will she ever deal with the man who broke her heart and destroyed her family? But sometimes there is often more to the truth then what one believes. And as someone seems to be out to sabotage Sam and the festival, will she be able to get her heart and her head on the same page, and find out the truth about everything? Set in stunning Cornwall, this book made me wish I was there, experiencing the festival and the beauty of the area for myself. With wonderful, adept descriptions there is no stone left unturned with this story - you will feel every emotion, smell every smell, and taste the sea air on your tongue as you turn the page. The characters in this community are superb and eclectic, and I especially loved Chloe's story as she tried to help her daughter and granddaughter. Sam is feisty, strong, and a little too stubborn at times, but she is a great character that you would want to be friends with in real life. There is drama, vandalism, friendship, secrets, and true love deftly woven throughout A PERFECT CORNISH SUMMER by Phillipa Ashley and I cannot wait for more from this marvellous author. AUTHOR BIO Phillipa Ashley is an award-winning author of 17 novels under three pen-names. Her best selling new Cornish Cafe series is available in e book and paperback now. The first in a brand new series - Christmas on the Little Cornish Isles: the Driftwood Inn was published on September 18th. She also writes the Oxford Blue series as Pippa Croft.

ABOUT THIS BOOK Inverness, 1820 Perched on the North Sea, this port town―by turns legendary and mythological―is a place where Highland rebels and English authorities clash in a mortal struggle for survival and dominance. Among the fray is a lovely young widow who possesses rare and special gifts. WANTED: Isabella Drummond A true beauty and trained physician, Isabella has inspired longing and mystery―and fury―in a great many men. Hunted by both the British government and Scottish rebels, she came to the Highlands in search of survival. But a dying ship’s captain will steer her fate into even stormier waters. . .and her heart into flames. FOUND: Cinaed Mackintosh Cast from his home as a child, Cinaed is a fierce soul whose allegiance is only to himself. . .until Isabella saved his life―and added more risk to her own. Now, the only way Cinaed can keep her safe to seek refuge at Dalmigavie Castle, the Mackintosh family seat. But when the scandalous truth of his past comes out, any chance of Cinaed having a bright future with Isabella is thrown into complete darkness. What will these two ill-fated lovers have to sacrifice to be together…for eternity? MY REVIEW HIGHLAND CROWN by May McGoldrick is an engaging historical story with strong characters and plenty of drama which quickly became addictive. Isabella Drummond is unlike other women of her time and is wanted by both the British and the Scottish for their own reasons. Determined to flee, Isabella unexpectedly ends up saving the life of Cinaed Mackintosh who has his own demons and secrets lurking in the dark, and their instant connection is unexplainable but fierce. He will keep Isabella safe any way he can and his family castle seems like the only place they can turn. But there is danger around every corner threatening to tear them apart ... Adventurous, energetic, and compelling throughout, I thoroughly enjoyed HIGHLAND CROWN by May McGoldrick and look forward to the next instalment in this new series. The characters are well-developed and I enjoyed Isabella's grit and strong spirit as she faces every challenge and the love between her and Cinaed made my heart flutter. The historical time period comes alive on the page and I felt fully immersed in it all from start to finish. It has been a while since I read historical romance but I won't let the time lapse again. HIGHLAND CROWN by May McGoldrick is perfect for historical romance fans and I highly recommend it . AUTHOR BIO Two peas in a pod, a pair of halfwits, the Laurel and Hardy of romance fiction...Nikoo & Jim McGoldrick were married in St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin 68 years ago before a worldwide television audience. After a honeymoon tour of their oil fields in Iran, they embarked on a writing career that has produced dozens of New York Times bestsellers, two Academy Award Winning film adaptations, and a Nobel Prize for Literature. After all this, fortune FINALLY smiled on them and they won the New Jersey Lottery. Taking their two sons, Nikoo and Jim spent a year backpacking through Africa and then seven years in Tibet, teaching the Dalai Lama the subtle intricacies of Scrabble. Upon returning to the States, these two storytellers wrote forty adult and young adult novels, four of which were RITA finalists and three which were NJRW Golden Leaf winners. They have also written two nonfiction works. Nikoo picked up an engineering degree somewhere along the way, and Jim has a PhD in 16th Century British literature. These two write under the pseudonyms of May McGoldrick and Jan Coffey and now reside in southern California.
