Starting Over by Sue Moorcroft was a good read. There were some parts that I felt could have been written better.
Just posted my review on The Scent of Jade by Dee DeTarsio. Awesome book!
“Wish You Were Here” by Phillipa Ashley was a great read, but one or two things bugged me.
“The Neon Graveyeard” is the last book in Vicki Pettersson’s The Sign of the Zodiac series. Joanna is a really strong, but flawed character and I loved reading about her!
Caprice Crane’s first book “Stupid and Contagious” is a riot! I loved it!
This one is the first debut novel I’ve done for the challenge. Lisa Becker’s Click: An Online Love Story. If you’ve ever ventured into the world of online dating, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

I really liked “Simple Jess” by Pamela Morsi. It was much more intricate than I thought it would be!
Christie Ridgway’s “Then He Kissed Me” was a nice quick read. I’m really looking forward to her next book though!
Chances by Freya North. The first book of hers which has stood out to me.

I wasn’t very impressed with “The Sins of Viscount Sutherland” by Samantha James.
“I’m With Cupid” by Diane Stingley was an interesting book narrated by your not-so-average Cupid.
“Something Blue” by Emily Giffin reviewed
Reviewed “Death In Daytime: A Soap Opera Mystery” by Eileen Davidson, who plays Ashley on The Young & the Restless. It was just “ok” – not one of my favorites….
“The Bride Hunter” by Amy Appleton was a nice read. It’s great summer reading!
“The Continuity Girl” by Leah McLaren was a miss for me!
The Single Girl’s to do list. A great easy read xx

I’m bonkers for “Bonkers” by Michelle Holman. Please forgive my horrible pun. It was intentional! :p
“Without Him” by Fiona O’Brien is the first book by her I’ve read, but it won’t be my last! I loved how unpredictable this book was!
I finished my last dedut author for 2011. I read Lagan Love for chicklitclub.com. I agreed to the review.

“Saffron Skies” by Lesley Lokko was a shocker!
Just posted my review for Hollywood Ending by Lucie Simone. I’m currently reading Starring in the Movie of my Life!!
Laura@thereadingnook recently posted..ChickLit Blog Tours- Hollywood Ending by- Lucie Simone
“Scandal in Scotland” by Karen Hawkins didn’t really have a lot of scandal in it….
Claire LaZebnik’s “if you lived here, you’d be home now,” was a great book. I really loved it! I’m looking forward to reading more of her books!
I read Marian Keyes’ “Rachel’s Holiday” – only $0.80 for Kindle!
One of her best books, I think.
“Nine Months” by Sarah Ball was a nice surprise for me. It was a great read!
“Going Topless” by Megan McAndrew was a complete miss for me.
Maya Malik from “My Bollywood Wedding” by Rekha Waheed, is sort of like a Bengali Bridget Jones. You can’t help but laugh and cry at her antics! This book was a great read!
I really had to fight to finish “Mistress by Midnight” by Nicola Cornick. I’ve liked some of her previous releases a lot more than this one!
“I Did (But I Wouldn’t Now)” by Cara Lockwood was a great read! I loved Lily’s attitude. She was able to get away with so much!
Zoe Rice has only one release, “Pick Me Up,” and it’s a great read!
2 more books read – both debut authors and I enjoyed them both.

I posted my review for The D Word, loved loved loved this book.
Jane Porter sent me a copy of her novel, Mrs Perfect, which I was delighted to accept and read. Having never read this American author’s work before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. As a Brit in the UK I felt very removed from the main character, Taylor Young, otherwise known as ‘Mrs Perfect’. Taylor lives the lifestyle of a rich stay-at-home mum who spends her day volunteering to chair school committees, book clubs, fund raisers, you name it. This she does with great aplomb, always turned out immaculately in a Designer wardrobe even if it’s just for the school run. Home is a mansion, the garden is a vast expanse with lake and private boat, there’s a gorgeous hubby earning megabucks, endless shopping trips with three very spoilt little girls, the family holidays here there and everywhere. For a while I couldn’t relate to Taylor or her offspring and felt like I’d just parachuted in from another planet whilst observing this character from a distance. At times I felt Jane laboured Taylor’s points but decided she must really want to emphasise them for a good reason. And this good reason became apparent when, in the snap of two fingers, everything material is taken away. Taylor’s husband, Nathan, is out of work. And has been for months. He’s just not been man enough to tell Taylor. As one month blends into the next, the unpaid bills get bigger. It’s only when Taylor’s card is declined in front of a friend whilst buying coffee, that the full bankruptcy picture emerges. The reader is then taken on an emotional roller coaster journey where Mrs Spoilt becomes Mrs Humble and learns how to accept who she really is, who her true friends really are, what really matters in life, and how to rebuild the family unit once again. It took a little while to hook me, but once it did it became a page turner. Applause for Jane!
I love books by Christina Jones and “Seeing Stars” was no exception! I’m eager to read more about people living in Fiddlesticks and neighboring villages!
Yay! I finally got a debut author read:) Great novel too. One of the funniest books i”ve read all year! Click: An Online Love Story by Lisa Becker

“A Hollywood Affair” by Lucy Broadbent wasn’t really heavy on the affair, but was full of drama!
I was bawling at some points of “Skipping A Beat” by Sarah Pekkanen. If you haven’t read this, I strongly recommend you do!
Finally have the post done! I read “Wedding Season” by Katie Fforde and absolutely adored it. Perfect summer read.

“Notorious Pleasures” by Elizabeth Hoyt was a wonderful surprise. It’s very deep for a historical romance!
