Love
Me for Me – Jenny Hale
Libby Potter has just lost the
perfect job, the perfect apartment and the perfect boyfriend. Moving back to
the same home town that she couldn’t wait to escape when she was younger was
definitely not on her todo list. Especially as it means running into the man
whose heart she broke when she left.
Pete Bennett can still walk into a
room and make Libby’s world stop with just the sound of his voice – even ten
years on. Only now, she is the last person in the world that he wants to see.
As everyone else welcomes Libby
home with open arms, she realizes she’s missed that special closeness that
comes from lifelong friendship. And, as Libby tries to make
amends with Pete, she begins to
wonder whether she made the right choice in leaving all those years ago.
When an amazing career opportunity
gives her the chance to leave again, Libby will have to decide what her version
of perfect is… and where she really belongs.
My opinion:
This
book is amazing!!! An emotional, touching and beautiful story of a woman
finding her way in life and figuring out what she wants. Coming back to her
home town and being around her high school sweetheart again makes her see life
in a different way. I enjoyed every step of Libbys journey and Pete is just
great. Jenny created a wonderful story, with so much atmosphere and spark. I
just fell in love with everything!!! You can all read my review later this
month, closer to the pub date for the book May 23rd.

If
You Only Knew – Zanna Mackenzie
The bit on the back:
Is the past about to destroy the
future for Faith when she discovers her new boyfriend and her first love are in
business together?
Would you have the courage to feel
the fear and fall in love anyway...?
Faith owns The Coffee Pot in the
outdoor adventure sports mecca of Derbyshire’s Peak District. She hasn’t had a
man in her life for a while, as she has been too busy serving cakes to weary
rock climbers and mountain bikers to find time for the complications of a relationship
with the male of the species.
Then Zane and Matt arrive on the
scene as the new owners of the Carrdale Adventure Sports Centre.
Dating Zane, she soon discovers
he’s not the Mr Perfect she thought he was; and why is he so reluctant to talk
about his past?
As for Matt – well, to Faith he
isn’t Matt at all because he was a completely different person when he broke
her heart all those years ago.
With her new boyfriend and her
first love running Carrdale as business partners – Matt out to cause trouble
and Zane keeping secrets – Faith struggles to keep the peace between them
whilst trying to figure out how she feels about the two men in her life…
My opinion:
A sweet and adorable love
story, combined with a lot of drama. I couldn’t put this book down, such a gripping
read about love, trust and letting go of the past. The characters are lovely
and bring so much spark into this wonderful story. Zanna found a great way to
describe their feelings and the writing is gripping and riveting! Review is to follow this month.

Closing In – Sue Fortin
The bit on the back:
Helen has had to leave everything
she’s ever known behind; her home, her family, even her own name.
Now, returning to the UK as Ellen Newman,
she moves to a small coastal village, working as a nanny for Donovan, a
criminal psychologist. Attractive, caring and protective, this single father
and his sweet daughter are a world away from Ellen’s brutal past. She thinks
she’s escaped. She thinks she’s safe.
But Ellen can’t shake the feeling
that something’s wrong.
Strange incidents begin to plague
her new family, and their house of calm is about to become one of suspicion and
fear. Who can be trusted? Who is the target? Who is closing in?
My opinion:
This novel is gripping,
vivid, dramatic, emotional, touching, adventorous, brilliant, catchy, adorable
and much more, go read it now, it's worth every single page! Watch out for the blog tour of this book later this month.
