Book talk - Review of Perfect Timing by Owen Nicholls

  Musician Tom and comedian Jess have brilliant timing on stage - but soon after a chance encounter, they learn the hard way that, when it comes to love, timing isn't so easy... Perfect for fans of will -they-won't-they love stories, romantic comedies and Josie Silver. For Jess and Tom, timing is everything. For her, it's the moment she delivers the perfect punchline. For him, it's the heartbeat in the music he makes with his band. And from the night they meet, sharing the same stage at the Edinburgh Festival, their attraction is undeniable. At first, it seems their timing is as perfect in the wings as it is in front of a crowd. But as Jess and Tom's careers take off, the moment for true connection is always just out of reach. With fate pushing them together, only to pull them apart, will the timing ever be right? After all, when it comes to love, the timing has to be perfect. . . doesn't it? I kindly received an early copy through Netgalley and have since been ...

Novelicious book review- How to get a (love) life - ROSIE BLAKE

How to get a (love) life is Rosie Blake's fabulous debut and I was fortunate enough to get a copy  from the sweet ladies over at Novelicious.  HTGALL had been on my TBR for several months and so I was particularly excited to get started  on it once I  finally got my hands on it.  So the next day, I believe it was a sunny tuesday,  I made myself a lovely cuppa, popped on some Miles Davis and went outside  into the garden, kindle in the left hand, cuppa in the other.  I  sat down and got started.  (Ooo, and let's not forget the custard creams here. A definite must!) So there I was, basking in the glorious sun, burning through the pages like there's no tomorrow. For those who haven't read it yet, (Tsk, tsk!)  the story follows young  and petite  Nicola Brown on her quest to  find, well... you guessed it, to find  herself a nice bit of romance.   The ingredients:  1 x s...

Teaser Tuesdays 27th.. (DAY LATE.. Apologies.)

Teaser Tuesdays  is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading! (See last post here .)  Teaser:  Until he found me. His eyes wide, Leo stopped in his tracks, and the man behind him bumped into him. ''Hey!'' the man said, taking off his baseball cap and sunglasses, he looked familiar somehow.   ''Oh he's cute. All four of them are.'' Look at them, '' Andrea said. I didn't, but from her eyes, I noticed they were moving again.  Taken from: New release '' Breaking the Reins, p.37.

The secret of Ella & Micha BY J. Sorensen

The Secret of Ella & Micha (The Secret #1) Genre: YA, Contemporary romance, coming of age,  Written by: Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback and Kindle edition  Published: October 2nd '12  Buy it here :  ''Just because it's broken doesn't mean it loses its importance and I figured i'd give it to you one day when you realized it was okay to make mistakes.”  Just after a couple of pages in, I had a feeling I'd enjoy the book, Jessica's writing style is so sweet, it's hard not to fall in love with her characters.   It didn't feel like she was trying too hard to appeal to certain audiences, her words just flowed naturally and nothing felt forced or too much. And isn't it always a little frustrating  when you come across an author who tries too hard to sound 'young and hip' and  all want to do is give 'em a stern glare, pat their back and tell them that no-one talks like that.  Seriou...

Back to you BY Priscilla Glenn

                                                              Back to you        Genre: NA, contemporary romance, child abuse/neglect, YA     Written by: Priscilla Glenn    Available as Paperback and Kindle edition   Published October 20th '12 by Creative Space   Get it here :       "I always knew I would fall in love with you," he said softly, "but you were never supposed to love me back." Now as you see by the rating alone, this one's quite high up there, especially because I hardly tend to rate anything higher than 3, even if I really enjoyed it. Usually my motto is, '3's plenty, no need to get rating happy! I've just seen a lot of people rating all of their previously read books above 4 and 5, completely throwing all caution to th...
