August was a great reading month for me, not as good
as July, but I’m happy. Here are my tow favourites:
Picnics in Hyde Park – Nikki Moore
The
bit on the back:
A summer to remember…or forget?
When Zoe Harper returns to the UK
after five long years in New York, the last thing she expects is to find her
younger sister Melody jobless, homeless, broke and dumped. Unfortunately, life
has a way of delivering the unexpected. She should know that, given her
ex-fiancé Greg’s faithless behaviour.
Filled with rage and determined to
get revenge on the infamous Reilly brothers for her sister’s heartbreak, as
well as get some answers, Zoe hatches plan Nannygate. Unfortunately that means
moving in with the gorgeous but uncaring music producer Matt Reilly to be nanny
to his two adorable, complicated children. But something isn’t adding up, and
over the course of the hot London summer, she starts to think that perhaps Matt
isn’t so bad after all.
Let down by his last nanny and
weighed down with guilt about his wife’s death three years before, wealthy but
camera-shy Matt has spent a long time pushing people away, including his own
kids. His stunning new nanny challenges him every single day in completely
different ways, but maybe that isn’t such a bad thing?
But what happens when you open your
heart, and someone isn’t who you thought they were? And can it really be true
love when it’s on the rebound, and starts off with a plan for revenge?
My opinion:
Nikki’s style of writing is really
unique. She always finds a gripping way to engage the reader, the scenes flow
beautifully and have an authentic and unique spark. London and the settings
seemed vivid and I felt like being there with the characters and that’s what I
love for in a story!!! FABULOUS, TERRIFIC and JUST AWESOME!!!!!

The Aubrey Rules – Aven Ellis
The
bit on the back:
*If I’m going to indulge in French
fries, I must add extra time to the treadmill the next day.
*Always keep your work and private
life separate.
*Being open to new experiences will
never involve eating kale.
*Never, ever date a professional
athlete.
For Chicago social media
professional Aubrey Paige, the rules are everything. So much so that Aubrey has
painstakingly written her rules for living into a polka-dot Kate Spade notebook
that she carries with her at all times. It’s her personal guidebook to living
her life. These rules are the Holy Grail—ones never to be broken. They guide
her actions for everything, from dealing with workplace drama to finding a
great guy to date. After all, these are her own rules, built from her life
experiences and observations. So they have to be perfect, right?
Or are they?
Because when Aubrey meets a cute
Canadian, she suddenly finds her rules being tested and challenged in ways she
never dreamed possible. Beckett Riley is the shy, quiet, determined captain of
the Chicago Buffaloes, a hockey team on the verge of turning the corner to
becoming a winning organization. He’s Aubrey's opposite, with so many qualities
that Aubrey had listed as ones she’d never want in a man.
Yet Aubrey finds herself drawn to
Beckett in ways she’s never known. And when she unexpectedly finds herself working
with Beckett, she wonders if rules are meant to be broken after all . . .
My opinion:
This is the story of a
hilarious and passionate girl living by rules, but when meeting the right
person she is learning to follow her heart! Two wonderful and relatable
characters, who have an awesome chemistry. Aven’s writing has it all – romance,
passion, humour, heart, love and so much more!!! She really know how to create
a special setting and story!!!
