Andy Jones – The Two of Us
After slogging through the last book over a painful two weeks of forcing myself to pick up the book and continue, it was nice to read something so compulsive that I just couldn’t put it down. I initially dismissed the book as the usual chick-lit style book, but I was wrong to judge the book…

Milly Johnson – Afternoon Tea at the Sunflower Cafe
First up, I need to say that Milly Johnson is my favourite Chick-Lit author. And I don’t mean Chick-Lit in a disparaging way as it is sometimes used, there’s nothing wrong with getting lost in a fantasy for an afternoon, and you’re not exactly going to get that with a thriller. This book was originally…

Jane Austen – Persuasion
I’ve read this book once before a fair few years ago, but since my re-read of Pride and Prejudice, I couldnt resist moving straight on to this. I loved it the first time round (how can you not like Austen?), but since the audio version was free on Kindle, I thought it would make a…

Jane Austen – Pride and Prejudice
I think it’s no secret that I love love love this book, and as I’ve read it many times before, I won’t be reviewing the actual book. It’s a work of genius and we all know it, I’ve read it so many times that I find myself anticipating the words that are coming. Rather than…

Jo Baker – Longbourn
After my last disastrous foray into alternative Pride and Prejudice interpretations, I swore I wouldn’t try another one for a long while! However, when I was trying to decide what to read, I saw this one sitting on my shelf since I bought it probably over a year ago, and the cover just drew me…

Regina Jeffers – Darcy’s Temptation
Okay, so I’m not really sure where to start with this book. I absolutely *love* Pride and Prejudice, it’s probably one of my favourite books, I could re-read it until the cows come home. But no-one can write Darcy like Austen, and it seems like anyone who tries just ends up falling about a mile…

Marni Bates – Decked with Holly
This book was one of the top Christmas themed books within Kindle Unlimited, so although it seemed to be a book aimed at teenagers, I thought I might as well give it a try. But it was most definitely aimed for teenagers, and I found the main character quite immature and annoying. The fact that…

Jill Mansell – The One You Really Want
Well after a lot of heavy fantasy books, I decided to give my brain a bit of a break and catch up on some of the books I’ve got downloaded on my Kindle. I’m not one to dismiss chick-lit as useless or mind-numbing, and I definitely don’t use chick-lit as a derogatory word. When it’s…

Milly Johnson – White Wedding
Well it’s been a long time since I started reading this book, over six weeks in fact. But I’ll blame that on Game of Thrones since this book was abandoned in my bedside drawer while I went on a fantasy epic. But after finishing Game of Thrones, and realising that I was going to a…

Rachel Schurig – In Search of a Love Story
I read a few of Rachel Schurig’s books earlier this year and really enjoyed them. It’s typical predictable chick-lit, but that’s not always a bad thing. If you want to get lost in something easy to work where you can become completely absorbed with the characters, there’s nothing better than a good chick-lit book. I found…

Milly Johnson – Here Come The Boys
Oh how I wish this book had been longer. It was released a couple of weeks ago as a short story ebook in the run up to Milly’s new book which is released very soon. I don’t think I’ve ever read a bad book by Milly Johnson, and this one was no exception. I love her style of…

Nicholas Sparks – Nights in Rodanthe
Well I think this is a first; a Nicholas Sparks book that I didn’t enjoy. Usually I love his books and get lost in the romance, but I just wasn’t feeling it with this one! I just couldn’t form any kind of connection to the main characters, I think in part because they were much…

Rachel Schurig – Three Girls and a Leading Man
I have to say, this was definitely the most disappointing book of the series. Having read Three Girls and a Baby from Ginny’s perspective and Three Girls and a Wedding from Jen’s, I was right about Three Girls and a Leading Man being all about Annie. But for some reason, I just couldn’t click with…

Rachel Schurig – Three Girls and a Wedding
Since I was left with mixed feelings after reading Three Girls and a Baby, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Three Girls and a Wedding. As Ginny got engaged at the end of the last book, I expected that the book would revolve around her upcoming nuptials. So I was surprised when it turned…
