Review: The Second Chance Shoe Shop

The Second Chance Shoe Shop by Marcie Steele
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well Marcie Steele has done it again. This is now the 3rd book I have read by this author and just like the other two books, I loved this one.
​Right from early on, you just know that you are slowly being dragged into the story. It's almost like Hedworth is the town where you live, that you know Riley, Sadie and Dan because you've been in the shop a million times. It really does make you believe.
​I just loved the way the story went. It's a real feel good book. Friendship, love, romance but not all plain sailing, there are a few ups and downs thrown in for good measure.
​The weather is improving, the sun is popping it's head out a little more, this is one of those books you can go out in the garden with and get lost into it. (the book not the garden).
​It's down to Riley and her gang at the struggling shoe shop to get sales and profits up, not easy when the shop doesn't cater for the people it needs to. Can Riley and her trusty work mates get things turned around and keep the shop going. Well you'll have to read it and find out.


​I don't want to spoil any of the story for anyone, so what else can I say other than, You really do need to buy this book and read it. And if you Haven't read the other two, then you might as well treat yourself and get those at the same time. After all it's nearly summer and we all need that feel good factor, and you will certainly get it from these books.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Every Mum has Magic Kisses: A step by step parenting book to heal yourself and raise your kids with love

Every Mum has Magic Kisses: A step by step parenting book to heal yourself and raise your kids with love by Ber Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A brilliantly touching well put together book. How one woman overcame struggles from her past, and managed to find a way forward. A way forward that worked for her, that helped her become the person and the mother she wanted to be. How she over came child hood memories that were less than perfect, but how she managed to turn herself around.
A really interesting and touching read.
​It's important as a parent to understand, you will not know how to do everything, that sometimes you will get things wrong. But you can pick yourself up, and carry on, and at the end of the day the most important part of being a parent is loving your child, caring for them and doing your best. No one can ask for more than that.

​Well don Ber for having the courage to write this book. Thank you for my review copy, it was much appreciated.

Review: Alex Cross, Run

Alex Cross, Run by James Patterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

're read
Wowzers... Book 20, I had read this what seems like forever ago, and wanted to get back into the series so rather than just go right in and read book 21, I decided to do a re read of this first. I have to say this is one of my many many favourite detective series. There is just something about Alex Cross that amazes and fascinates me. How the hell he is not dead yet I don't know. But luckily he's not or the series would have to stop, and I don't want that to happen.

​Another interesting read.

Review: Pop Goes the Weasel

Pop Goes the Weasel by M.J. Arlidge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow. This book certainly has a whole lot of action packed into it.
​Having just re read the first book, Eeny Meeny (which I would recommend if you are going to read, read them in order) I thoroughly enjoyed book one, but this one just blows it out the water.
So much going on, you just want to continue reading, and once I started it, it really didn't take me long to finish as I had to read it ever time I got chance.
​
​To say I'm a little behind on this series is a bit of an understatement. But I do have the next 3 books on my Kindle waiting for me to start them, and I'll be diving into book 3 real soon, that's for sure.

This book just flowed along brilliantly, with more than enough to keep you interested. A brilliant follow up to the first book, and I think it's safe to say this is going to be one hell of a series of books.
​If you have read book one, then you will Know Helen Grace is certainly a complex character. She has Flaws, Drive, Ambition and a past she's not to keen on. She also has BALL's, she is not afraid to challenge things, and deals with her stresses of her job and her life in a very different way to how other Book detectives deal with things. she's certainly not your normal head for the pub and get wasted kind of copper, after a bad day.

Once you start this book, then I think you should put all plan's on hold. As you will not want to do anything but read it.

Review: Deadly Obsession

Deadly Obsession by Nigel May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Huge well deserved 5/5

First of all let me start by saying, If you are looking for a book that is going to get hold of you and drag you right into the pages from the first page to the last, then this is the book for you.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

Riley and Amy Hart, a pretty hot couple, not only are they sexy they are rich too.
Pretty much the perfect happy couple. Or that is at least what Amy thinks. Or thought, until her husband is shot dead in their nightclub.
Who could possible do something like this, kill innocent people.
​Only who is the innocent one.
​We soon learn that people are just not as they seem. And it becomes a big issue about who you can and can't trust.
Is Amy really in the right state of mind, to decide who she can talk with, who she can trust. Or is every one out to take her for a ride.

​This is the second book by Nigel May that I have read, and it is just as good as the first one I read, which I must say was pretty awesome. I have one more of Nigel's books to read on my kindle, and one more I need to purchase to read, but I will be doing that sooner rather than later.
​This book does not disappoint, there was no stage all the way through that I wasn't sat wide eyed reading wondering just what the hell else can happen.

I just can't say enough good things about this book. It really is an awesome read.

​Super big thanks to Netgalley, The Publishers and Nigel May for allowing me a review copy of this Amazingly fantastic book.
