Blog Tour: How Not to Chaperon a Lady by Virginia Heath*

 

'His childhood nemesis…

…is the woman he can’t resist!

Chaperoning Charity Brookes while she’s on a singing tour should be easy for Griffith Philpot—he’s spent his whole life sparring with her over her flighty ways! But as he discovers that she’s much more than the impetuous girl he thought he knew, a passion ignites between them… Sharing a steamy kiss leaves him torn – he’s supposed to be responsible for guarding her virtue!'

This is the third book in the ‘Talk of Beau Monde’ series which tells the stories of the Brooke Sisters. This 26 Chapter story focuses on the youngest of the trio, Charity. More specifically this is the story of Charity Brookes and Griffith Philpott. 

From the very beginning of their interactions Griffith and Charity have witty banter that will leave readers with the giggles. Their banter is just one thing these two have going for them. They also have this undeniable chemistry that neither wants to acknowledge. 

Throughout this story readers are also given life updates on Charity’s older sisters Faith and Hope. This aspect will be loved by readers of the series as they get the continuation of their stories. New readers to the series will also love it as they get the opportunity to meet these characters. No worries if this is the first book of this series you are reading as they can all be read as stand alone novels. 

One thing that is similar between this book and it’s predecessors is that readers will quickly become addicted. Not only to the story but also to the scenery. The descriptions of the scenery are so detailed

Let me tell you a little bit about the Author Virginia Heath. When she was a little girl it took her ages to fall asleep, so she would make up stories in her to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories got more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace her insomnia and start writing them down. Despite that, it still takes her forever to fall asleep.

Overall I absolutely adored this story and was utterly captivated at learning Charity’s story. Readers will find themselves addicted unable to put it down until they have read every word. You can get your copy HERE

Blog Tour: Taylor Partially Matured by Grayson Avery*

 

'Twenty-seven year old Taylor Quinn rocks the three I's. She's immature, impulsive, and totally inappropriate.

Now  that she's been admitted to the Sweet Water Circle, a group of long-time friends now in their 30s and 40s who love to push each other to be their best selves, Taylor is tasked with growing up. God knows they have no hope of curing her inappropriate behavior. After calling for a Sweet Water Circle intervention, fellow Circle member and Taylor's boss, Shelly, puts Taylor on the clock: figure out what she wants to do with her life or join the unemployment line. Who knew getting paid to do nothing wasn't a long-term career option? Taylor certainly didn't, so of course, she rebels. Why think about the future when she's having so much fun in the present?

The pressure on Taylor intensifies when the a love match set for Shelly falls for Taylor instead. This love match is none other than Benjamin Bach (Billionaire Ben), a contemporary of the Sweet Water Circle who has since made it big in Silicon Valley. Should Taylor take Ben on as her sugar daddy or pursue her own career? Or will the Sweet Water Circle's top-heavy nemesis, Sasha, beat her to it?

Follow Taylor on a journey of self discovery and misadventure (and total inappropriateness) in love and life. If you've read Project Kaitlyn or Jenn Reinvented you know that full maturity for Taylor is out of the question, but perhaps partial maturation is possible? Or maybe not. How can Taylor grow up and find her passion and still be Taylor? You'll laugh out loud as she tries'

This is the third book in the ‘Sweet Water Circle’ series and what an addition it was. This book, as you can tell from the title is all about Taylor and ‘Billionaire Ben’. Their story is told over the course of 41 Chapters which readers will fly through, just like they did with the other two books in this series. Just like the second book in this series, this book also gives readers an update on the previous couples. What’s brilliant about this update is that the books don’t have a huge time jump.

Now although romance is one of the biggest aspects of this book, there is another that needs mentioning which is Taylor’s growth as a person. Throughout the book the read is given the opportunity to watch as Taylor grows. This is brilliant to see and is just as important as the main romance theme in this book.

This book is choc full of witty moments that will make readers laugh. It’s not just the situations in this book that will keep readers laughing but also the character interactions. This funny side of the book is just one of the reasons that readers will be addicted and find themselves devouring good chunks of this book in one sitting.

Now let me tell you about the Author, Grayson Avery who wrote The Sweet Water Circle Series. A romantic comedy series that focuses on childhood friends in their 30s and 40s as the help each other navigate the stormy waters of dating, marriage, divorce and a whole lot of inappropriate, naughty and downright hysterical situations. 

Overall this book is addictive and will keep readers entertained from the moment they start right until the very end. This book will make series readers fall in love all over again, while making new readers want to read the rest of the series, if they haven’t already. I, for one personally cannot wait until the fourth book comes out in January 2022. You can get your copy HERE

After an accident, Amal has lost her memory…including forgetting Manny’s marriage proposal and her rejection! Manny will help her seek treatment, but can he protect his heart when their journey brings them closer than ever…?'

This is the story of Mansur and Amal, two people who definitely have a shared past. Their story is told over the course of 12 Chapter +Epilogue). Now 12 Chapters does seem like a short book, however not in this case. The story is still packed full of details that readers will love. 

From the very beginning of this book, readers will be intrigued about the hinted past the main characters share. The past is slowly revealed as the story continues, but the interest stays even after all is revealed. Mainly because once the past has come to light, the question remains 'Can a forgotten past pave the way to for ever?'

Throughout the book the point of view switches from Mansur to Amal and back again. This switching point of view allows readers to see where the characters are emotionally and mentally. Both characters come to the situation not wanting to be hurt but from different perspectives. 

Now let me tell you about the Author Hana Sheik, who falls in love everyday reading her favourite romances and writing her own happy-ever-afters. She has worked previously as a data entry operator, customer service rep, telemarketer and ghost writer but being a romance author is without a doubt the best job ever!

Blog Tour: The Dating Game by Sandy Barker*

 

'Once upon a time, twelve women joined the hottest reality TV show looking for love. Except one had a secret identity . . .

Abby Jones is a serious writer. Or at least she will be, one day. Right now, she spends her time writing recaps of reality television under a secret identity.

When a recap for The Stag – the must-watch dating show – goes viral, her editor thinks she should be on set, writing the drama as it happens. The good news: the next season will be filmed in Sydney. Sun, sea and a glamorous trip abroad, this could be Abby’s big break.

The bad news: the producers don’t just want Abby to write the recaps, they want her to be on the show. Abby can’t think of anything worse than being undercover and followed around by cameras. But her career depends on it, and when she meets gorgeous producer Jack, Abby begins to wonder if this job might not be so bad after all . . .'

This is the story of Abigail and Jack, which is told over the course of 25 chapters (+Epilogue). As you can probably tell from the blurb this isn’t your typical romance story. Boy does meet girl but not in the most ideal settings. However this fact does not stop this being a really great romance story.

From the moment readers start this story they will fall in love with the main characters but only that they will be intrigued by situation they are in. This intrigue will keep readers attached to this story to the very end. They will want, no need to find out how if these characters can figure out how to be together. 

This entire book is littered with moments that will leave readers laughing as well as the odd moment that may leave them a bit emotional. This variety of emotions for the reader to go through will just make them even more attached to the story. Whether they are laughing or tearing up, each emotion will make them want to finish this book.

Now let me tell you about the Author Sandy Barker, who is a writer, traveller and hopeful romantic. She has a lengthy bucket list and many of her travel adventures have found homes in her novels. Sandy is also an avid reader, a film buff, a wine lover and a coffee snob. She lives in Melbourne Australia with her partner, Ben, who she met while travelling in Greece. Their real-life love story inspired Sandy’s debut novel ‘One Summer in Santorini’, the first in the Holiday Romance series with One More Chapter, an imprint of HarperCollins.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I will confess it is the first book I have read by this author, however it will certainly not be the last. I am about to head to Amazon to go check out more by Sandy Barker. You can get your copy HERE

Blog Tour: The Knight's Maiden in Disguise by Ella Matthews*

 

'Risking her life

To save a knight!

Disguising herself as her late twin brother keeps Avva Carpenter, and her family, safe. Until Sir William Devereux arrives in her town. As the castle’s stable master, Avva can’t avoid the knight—or the desire he instantly stirs in her. He’s everything she never knew a nobleman could be: honest, kind, brave. When danger surrounds them, the only way to help William is to reveal her true identity, but can she trust him enough?'

This is the story of Avva and William and is told over the course of 21 Chapters. This book is well written and have readers falling in love with the main characters as well as the story. 

The meet cute for the two main characters is very different to a lot of books. This point alone will have readers gripped wondering how everything will unfold. Also it really sets the book up well for the story to come. 

Another thing readers will love about this book apart from the main character who just happens to be a very sexy knight is the character interactions. Even just between William and his squire James. 

Now let me tell you about the Author Ella Matthews, who works and lives in South Wales. When she isn’t thinking about handsome heroes she can be found walking along the coast with her husband and two children. Though she probably still be thinking about heros but pretending to be interested in everyone else. 

Overall this is a brilliant and well written book. If the storyline doesn’t draw the reader in then the characters will. You can get your copy HERE

Until Next Time
