Sister Sister by Sue Fortin
Sister Sister is a thriller full of twists and turns and it includes family, love and friendship. These things all put together with great writing create a novel you can’t miss. I’m not that big on thrillers, but this one is fabulous!!! You don’t know which way the story is going and that’s fascinating! The storyline is very clever, gripping, riveting, spellbinding and mesmerizing. I got so hooked, because I just wanted to find out the truth. You can feel the tension through the words and you just can’t let go.
A Song for Tomorrow by Alice Peterson
This book has so many great elements. Alice Peterson put a lot into this book, she based it all on a true story, added her own experiences and combined it all into spellbinding, inspirational, uplifting and heart-breaking story. The way she included a difficult topic like this in a story is very impressive. Make sure you have some tissues close by, because you definitely need them. Alice Peterson’s writing is touching, moving and very emotional. Already a definite contender for my Books of the Year!
Big Sexy Love by Kirsty Greenwood
The humor in this book is on point, the storyline has a wonderful flow, the characters are authentic and real, there are emotions and feelings included as well and it all has a deep meaning. There is also a lot of detail in the writing, which I always like and it just makes me sees the story as a movie as well. This story really touched my heart and I think it’s amazing that Kirsty Greenwood managed to make this book very emotional and yet very funny, it’s the perfect mixture! On top of that: it’s also romantic, so it definitely has everything you need in a perfect book! It really is perfect, read it now!
This Love by Dani Atkins
This story is a roller-coaster ride of emotions, feelings play a very important role in this book and Dani Atkins captured them beautifully. Dani Atkins created some wonderful characters here, full of heart and love. They are very well drawn out and seem very authentic. Through the writing I always felt really close to the story and what happened, it's captivating, spellbinding, heart breaking and poignant, I advise having a box of tissues close by, you are going to need them.
I Heart Forever by Lindsey Kelk
I was hooked from the start! I wanted to know, how the story continued every time I put the book down, but at the same time I didn’t want it to end. I loved being back with Angela, Alex, Jenny and Co. Lindsey Kelk created a fabulous world around these characters, it’s set in New York and it’s just AWESOME!!! I HEART IT!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!
The Honeymoon by Tina Seskis
I was hooked to this story from the start! It’s tense, full of drama, intrigues, lies and secrets. It’s def the best thriller I have ever read, very unpredictable and with a shocker of an ending! I was literally at the edge of my seat after every chapter and just wanted to find out what really happened. A brilliant book, cleverly written and JUST WOW!!!!!
The Last Piece of My Heart by Paige Toon
I couldn’t put this book down! There is enough drama included, some wonderful and beautiful scenes, a fab setting and so much more. I also think the title of this book is brilliant!!! I absolutely adore the world she always creates around her characters. The are also somehow connected to each other and if you have read her previous books, it’s just fabulous to read about certain characters again. The atmosphere and ambiance in this book was not to beat, that’s probably also why she is still one of my fave authors.
A Christmas Wedding by Paige Toon
This book is absolute perfection and it showed me once again, how talented Paige Toon is. The world she created around her characters is unique and I love, how they are all connected in some way. The ending is perfect and just makes me want to read another book by her.
A Summer's Lease by Carrie Elks
The setting is absolutely stunning, I felt at home immediately and that’s also thanks to Carrie Elks’s descriptive, sweet and passionate writing. I was hooked from the start and never wanted to leave the story. I’m so glad this is a series, can’t wait for the next book! I adore how this story touches different topics. Love obviously, but also family, self discovery, dealing with your job and dealing with failure. A very thrilling, fascinating and sweet story, I loved every second of it!
Christmas in St Ives by Miranda Dickinson
I absolutely adore Miranda Dickinson’s writing. It’s warm, passionate, full of details and just magical. I loved every second of this book and I just adored the characters. The story covers topics like love, family, relationships, friendship, trust, honesty and much more. The setting is absolutely beautiful and of course it includes a lot of christmassy elements, which is just fantastic. JUST MAGICAL!!
