Two clear winners:
Reality Blurred – Aven Ellis
The
bit on the back:
He lied to her. Fed her
the same lines as he did all the other girls. Instead of proposing, he dumped
her on national TV. Would a romance with a hockey superstar prove just as
disastrous—or could it be the greatest love story of her life?
Cast as America’s
reality show sweetheart after being jilted on a dating show, Skye Reeve is
ready to stop being a brokenhearted woman by proving she’s more than what the
camera portrayed her to be. She’s landed her dream job as a TV lifestyle
reporter and promises to work hard to be a success.
Skye also vows never to
be swept up in a fairy tale romance ever again, as she obviously has no clue
what real love is.
Being in the same city
as Denver Mountain Lions hockey star Maxime Laurent, however, might make this
last goal impossible.
Dealing with ghosts from
his own past, the Belgian hockey star is known for keeping his life off the ice
private. He’s not sure if outgoing Skye could be a match for him, but he can’t
deny his attraction to her.
When the two embark on a
romance, will they be able to move forward from the past to let love into their
hearts? With no reality blurred, will Skye find real-life love to be
what she had been looking for all along?
My opinion:
Aven Ellis did a fab job
with the characters. Both of them have a lot of depth, a past and all these
things come into the story. Their personality and feelings create a wonderful
story full of love, romance, drama and friendship. Aven Ellis has a fantastic
writing voice, her style is charming, sweet, romantic, exciting and fresh. Oh
and the title of this book is ON POINT! Full Review - Reality Blurred

The Sunday Lunch Club – Juliet Ashton
The
bit on the back:
The
first rule of Sunday Lunch Club is … don't make any
afternoon plans.
Every
few Sundays, Anna and her extended family and friends get together for lunch.
They talk, they laugh, they bicker, they eat too much. Sometimes the important
stuff is left unsaid, other times it's said in the wrong way.
Sitting
between her ex-husband and her new lover, Anna is coming to terms with an
unexpected pregnancy at the age of forty. Also at the table are her ageing
grandmother, her promiscuous sister, her flamboyantly gay brother and a memory
too terrible to contemplate.
Until,
that is, a letter arrives from the person Anna scarred all those years ago. Can
Anna reconcile her painful past with her uncertain future?
Juliet
Ashton weaves a story of love, friendship and community that will move you to
laughter and to tears. Think Cold Feetmeets David Nicholls, with a dash of the joy of Jill Mansell
added for good measure.
My opinion:
I was
hooked from the start and couldn’t put the book down. There were several twists
in the plot and that just made it more exciting. I felt like being there with
the characters and was actually sad when it all ended. Full Review - The Sunday Lunch Club
