Welcome to my Review of I Wanted To Tell You by Anna Mansell! What They Say: ‘Sometimes I think that if I’d found a way to talk, we’d be together now…’ When Helen finds a bundle of unsent love letters, tied with a red ribbon, and signed only  ‘the love you wished I could be’ , she wonders who they could belong to. The same day, however, her husband  Alex announces he’s leaving. She’d believed their love would last a lifetime, but now he’s gone and she hadn’t even realised there was anything wrong. Desperate to understand, Helen doesn’t know where to look for answers. But the letters keep drawing her back. As she reads the words of loneliness, loss and regret, something in them helps her start to make sense of it all… Even as she realises someone has been keeping heart-breaking secrets. But  who do the letters belong to? Can the sender ever be reunited with the one they love, or is it too l...

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Christmas at the Palace by Jeevani Charika!  What They Say: Snuggle up with the perfect Christmas romance that readers have fallen in love with this year, as one ordinary girl learns what it means to love a prince. Not even in her wildest imaginings did Kumari ever think she'd become a princess.

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Dreaming of Christmas by TA Williams! This book sounds absolutely wonderful and I can't wait to read it! Extract From Dreaming of Christmas: She had barely stepped into her flat when the phone started ringing. Pushing the door closed behind her, she set down her weekend bag and her briefcase and answered it. ‘Zoë Lumsley, hello.’ ‘Hi, Zo, it’s me.’ ‘Hi, Jules. Long time no speak. How’re things with you?’ She and Juliet had shared a tacky old house with a bunch of other students when they were in their last year at university. That was all of ten years ago now and she had pretty much lost contact with lost of the others – apart from Grant, of course. She and Juliet had remained really good friends and, seeing as they both lived in London, normally managed to meet up several times a year, but she realised she hadn’t heard from her since the winter, and now it was already late summer. ‘Not bad really. I’ve moved on from A & E a...
