Chick Lit Author: Carole Matthews

Carole Matthews was born in St. Helens, Merseyside, and became an avid reader as a young girl. She had many career dreams- being a teacher, travel guide, hairdresser, but never thought of being a writer. She moved to London from Liverpool and worked a flurry of unsatisfying jobs- secretary, shop assistant, ice cream lady, and had the first thought of writing a book about her experiences when she was working at a mad holistic clinic. Though she never got around to writing that book, she did enter a short story competition for a magazine- and won! She used her winning money on taking a writing course, fell in love with everything about it, got an agent, and sold her first book- Let’s Meet on Platform 8- a week later.
Now, Carole Matthews is an international bestselling author, appearing on the Sunday Times and USA Today bestseller lists. She has won multiple awards, and her books have been published in 24 countries. Her titles include: The Chocolate Lover’s Club, Welcome to the Real World, With or Without You, More to Life Than This, A Minor Indiscretion, Let’s Meet on Platform 8, The Sweetest Taboo, The Scent of Scandal, Bare Necessity, For Better for Worse, Girls Night In, and Girls Night Out.

Tiger Woods Admits To Cheating, Breaking from Golf

Tiger Woods Admits To Cheating, Breaking from Golf

Tiger Woods is finally admitting his cheating ways. The golfer, who has also stated he is taking an ‘indefinite break’ from the sport, has released a second apology on his website yesterday. Here is what he has to say:
“I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.

I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.”

The Men I Didn’t Marry by Janice Kaplan & Lynn Schnurnberger
Chick Lit Review

The Men I Didn’t Marry by Janice Kaplan & Lynn …

Hallie has been dumped. And not just dumped. Her husband of 21 years has left her- for the younger, perkier, cellulite free Ashlee. With her husband gone and children off to college, Hallie wallows her pain away in massive amounts of Oreo’s at her empty house. But she needs to snap out of it and move on. She is a successful lawyer living in New York City with a fabulous best friend and a handful of kooky neighbors, and moving on is exactly what she is going to do. By visiting her past.
Hallie gets the idea to go looking for her ex-boyfriends; the men she didn’t marry. Maybe that can help her figure out how she chose Bill, her soon to be ex-husband who doesn’t seem to realize that you can’t just have a ‘second act’ with a younger woman when you are married. First up is Eric, a college boyfriend who has now become an extremely rich investment broker, but he seems more interested in himself, his money, and his Blackberry. Next is Barry, who Hallie met while backpacking across Europe. His experience turned out to be on the …quiet side, and a whole lot different than Hallie could have imagined. And finally, Kevin. Hallie travels to the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda to find her high school boyfriend, and thinks she may have found love again.
The Men I Didn’t Marry by Janice Kaplan and Lynn Schnurnberger is ferociously funny, a fabulous and witty tale that will keep your interest until the end. The main character’s motivation to keep her head up and not give up on happiness is inspiring and thought provoking for readers. And the flair of mystery- what exactly did happen to Hallie’s sister and who is the mysterious fourth ex-boyfriend- will keep you wrapped up until you can happily mark this must read novel as finished.

The Scent of Scandal by Carole Matthews
Chick Lit Review

The Scent of Scandal by Carole Matthews

The Scent of Scandal by Carole Matthews revolves around Rose Stevens, who has fled busy London to settle down in the small village of Great Brayford. After finding out her lover was already married, Rose is crushed and in need of getting away from everything that reminded her of him. She works as an aroma-therapist, but some of her neighbors believe she is doing much more scandalous deeds, and take to spying on her 24/7. What they really should be spying on are the other neighbors- the one who is a hooker, the one who may or may not be addicted to sex, and one who is a Peeping Tom!
Before she knows what has hit her, Rose finds herself falling for the sexy local builder, Dan, but still can’t let go about the affair that left her fleeing London. And now to make it even worse- her ex Hugh has somehow found Rose in her quaint village, and he is single and wants her back! Rose struggles with her feelings as the many twists and turns keep throwing apart the characters that you know should be together. I enjoyed the romance and the humor in the novel, but there really wasn’t any ‘scandal’ as the title may lead you to believe. Still another good read from Carole Matthews.
