Escape To Polkerran Point written by Cass Grafton published by Canelo Books

 





Lauren Kirkham is a high flyer, she is now living through an unplanned pregnancy -solo as her boyfriend has decided he does not want to be involved with the baby.

Needing a break, she goes to visit her best friend Anna in Polkerran for a holiday. On the first day she bumps into local handyman Danie is who building his own house on the cliffs and his story is being followed by a “Grand Designs” type tv programme. When the tv company arrive to film, they are expecting a happy couple however Daniel has recently split up with his girlfriend and needs a fake live in one instead and so Lauren and Daniel join forces, but can you really fake love?

I have to say before I picked up this book I was in a complete reading slump. Several books before hadn't grabbed me and it was really getting me down - this book proved to be my reading saviour!!! It reignited my reading mojo!

Straight away Lauren and Anna and all the locals felt like friends of mine, I could completely relate to them, and was desperate to pull up a chair, pour myself a cup of coffee and grab one of Anna's home cooked brownies!

It was only when I finished that I realised this was a set of books, but how magical that it didn't impact on my reading and at no point did I feel lost that I was missing parts of the story.

Honestly, I can't stop smiling when I think of this book as not only was it a fantastic story, but it got me back into my reading groove!!

Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington

  Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down! Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels. Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!

The Commuter written by Emma Curtis and published by Atlantic Books

  In The Commuter , we follow Rachel, who has just woken from a coma after a car accident, only to be told that her wealthy husband has been murdered in their family home. As Rachel begins to recover, she experiences flashbacks, including memories of a mysterious fellow commuter—a man whose name she doesn’t even know. Strangely, since her husband’s death, this man has vanished, and now the police suspect that Rachel may be involved in the murder. As the investigation deepens, Rachel finds herself racing against time to uncover the truth before she is wrongfully imprisoned for a crime she knows she didn’t commit. The Commuter is a psychological thriller that explores suburban life, blending suspense, deception, and complex relationships. While the story maintains tension throughout, I found the plot became quite complicated toward the end, and I did feel lost at times. Some parts left me feeling a bit detached, but overall, it was an engaging read. Rating: 3.5/5
