THE BLURB: As a teen, Indy learned that Destiny wo

THE BLURB:
As a teen, Indy learned that Destiny would lead her to the man of her dreams. His name was Nick.

Fifteen years later, Fate grants her a second chance at her One True Love. And even though leaving her house for anything less than a latte is terrifying, Indy has to take it.

See, Indy O’Neall isn’t anything like the adventurous heroine she writes. For her, a good night is sharing a pint of mint chip ice-cream with her roommate Sasha while cheering on the best damn basketball team in the league.

But this is Destiny calling. Indy can’t ignore it.

Unfortunately, one man is standing in her way.

Ethan Fraser.

He’s six feet of confidence in the body of a superhero, and a bone to pick with her future husband. Indy is happy to steer clear of the gorgeous, motorcycle-riding, rock-climbing, elementary teacher.

The problem is, no matter what Indy does, all roads seem to lead back to Ethan. Ethan is charming. Ethan is flirtatious. But Ethan isn’t her soulmate.

MY REVIEW:
This was such a cute, fun read. Perfect for anyone who has ever wondered if destiny or fate was real.

This is part of a series, but you wouldn’t know it, it can easily be read as a standalone.

The plot is simple to follow and the characters are likeable.

This was a super quick read, easily finished in an hour.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums, foster mums, s

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums, foster mums, single mums, step-mums, grandmothers acting as mums, dads who are also mums, mums to be, surrogate mums, adopted mums, mother figures, mums whose babies grew wings, and those desperately longing to be a mum.

Regardless of if this day is full of pampering, or full of housework, be kind to yourself. Remember that one bad moment does not make you a bad mum, and no one is perfect, despite what social media would have you think x

BLURB: When Lexi Davies discovers that her father

BLURB: When Lexi Davies discovers that her father has sold the fishermen’s cottages that she lives in and runs as holiday lets, she is furious and heartbroken. Lexi realises that her whole future at her beloved cottages is now over.

New owner, handsome, Scottish entrepreneur Oliver Whimsy arrives on the island in a blaze of glory and immediately upsets the locals.

When he offers Lexi her old job, she’s unsure whether to accept but needing a roof over her head for the winter, she finds herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Pride does not pay the bills.

As they get to know one another, there’s far more to Oliver Whimsy than she or anyone else had imagined.

What heartache is Oliver trying so desperately to hide from?

And why was he so determined to buy the cottages?

Lexi is on a mission to find out…

REVIEW: This was a cute read. Set on a small island, the book follows Lexi and Oliver, and a supporting cast of likeable characters.

Finding out her father had sold her livelihood to Oliver was a shock for Lexi, but is Oliver really as bad as everyone seems to think? It was nice getting to know both Lexi and Oliver better and I enjoyed the way their romance blossomed.

I’ve never heard of this author, but this is book three in a series, and can obviously be read as a stand-alone. A sweet, easy, fuss-free read, easily finished in an hour.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this in return for my honest review.

BLURB: Amir Botros, the younger brother of Sheikh

BLURB:
Amir Botros, the younger brother of Sheikh Tariq Botros, could not be more different than his brother. He is a notorious womanizer, but he may finally have met his match.

Soraya can't believe how the arrogant and obnoxious Amir Botros could be so rude! He was always showing up to her university or the restaurant where she works uninvited. He won't leave her alone and won't take no for an answer. So why is she so attracted to a man she knows she should hate?

To Amir, Soraya is fascinating. She is beautiful, elegant and fiercely intelligent - very different from the dozens of other girls he had been with. She constantly pushes him away, rejects him in public and refuses to return his calls. There was absolutely nothing he could do to make her smile. Not once had he been able to make her feel comfortable around him. She never let her guard down around him.

But when he kisses her she melts into his arms.. he couldn't figure her out. She was his biggest challenge. He knew one thing; he was not going to give up on her.

However, when he discovers Soraya is related to one of his closest friends, he'll have to decide how far he will go to win her over..

MY REVIEW:
As much as I love Leslie North’s sheikhs, this missed the mark a bit.

Although this is book 2 in the series, it felt as if I was still reading about the couple from book one. The main characters in this book are supposed to be Soraya and Amir, yet they felt like supporting characters.

The ending is also pretty abrupt.

That said, I still enjoyed it and will read the entire series to the conclusion.

This is a quick read and can easily be finished in an hour. I do think you should read the first book before reading this one, as I do not think it can be read as a standalone.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout in return for my honest review.
