BLURB: 

A second chance romance. 

What happens when you fall for the boy next door?

Bea Norwood had the market on normal.

Drama free life? Check.

A single-mother who doubled as her confidant and partner in crime? Check.

A neighbor and best friend she trusted more than anyone? Check.

But that was until the day her mother remarried. The day that changed everything.

When her best friend's cousin, Liam Falcon, is sent to live with his aunt and uncle to clean up his act, Bea finds herself falling for the boy next door. With their hearts so infinitely entwined, Bea turns to Liam as her only escape from her new step-brother's daily torment at home. Bea thought their love could conquer anything. But she was wrong. Love was for fools, and she was the biggest fool of them all. When Liam left Lakeport, he took her heart with him, shattering the organ to pieces.

Six years later, Liam takes a trip back to Lakeport to visit his family, and to see HER.

His first love.

The girl who holds his heart.

The same girl who shattered it six years ago without looking back.

Liam is hell-bent on seeing Bea again after six years, but what he finds tears his heart in half. Bea Norwood is a shell of the girl he fell in love with. Underneath the baggy clothes, and pale skin, he knows she's still in there somewhere, he just needs to find her. 

Liam will stop at nothing to win his girl back, but sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and Liam isn't prepared for Bea's truth.

MY REVIEW

ACHE is an all-new emotionally charged second chance romance by S.M. Soto and it's LIVE! 'What happens when you fall for the boy next door?' 

Emotionally charged... yep that’s true.

After reading this story I still wanted more so I read the authors note to her readers. The author tells us of her struggle to release this. Of how difficult it was to write due to the subject matter. I’m so glad she found the strength to release this story as it needs to be read. 

Bea believed she had everything she wanted in life. She was even happier when Liam entered her life. He gave her the happiness she didn’t know she was missing. 

Then he left. 

He took her heart with him. 

She broke. 

Liam has missed Bea so much. When he returns he sees a very different Bea. 

He needs to find out what happened her.

Can they move forward or will Liam find closure.

This is certainly going to be one of my favourite stories this year. My heart broke for these characters over and over again. I knew what I wanted to happen but did I get it? 

A heart wrenching but beautifully told story that will stay with me for a long time x

BLOG TOUR

I Want You Gone by Miranda Rijks

#IWantYouGone @damppebbles #damppebblesblogtours

Book Blurb:

The only obituary you never want to read – is your own.

Laura Swallow is dead.
A life cut tragically short, says the newspaper obituary.
But that’s a lie.
Estate agent Laura did not die in a car accident. She is alive and well.
At first, Laura thinks it’s a sick joke.
But multiple announcements of her death are followed by increasingly sinister real-life events. Already fragile, struggling to recover from a recent divorce, Laura is plunged into a living nightmare.
Who can she trust? Her new lover? Her clients and work colleagues? What about her ex-husband and his smug fiancée? Can Laura even rely on her best friends? And why is it that Laura’s present troubles are so tied up with her sister’s sudden death all those years ago?
But one thing Laura is sure of – someone out there wants her to suffer. Wants her gone.
Forever.

MY REVIEW

The blurb of this caught my attention straight away so as soon as it landed on my kindle I jumped right in. I barely put my kindle down as I pretty much inhaled this in one sitting. It truly was that good. 

Laura Swallow is dead. Well according to Facebook and the local paper she’s dead. How devastating would that me. 

There was times I wanted to shake Laura for being so silly and other times I was hoping that everything would get cleared up and she’d find the happiness she deserves. 

This was a well thought out story that I really enjoyed. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Review: Beautifully Brutal

Beautifully Brutal by Dani René
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fabulous introduction to this much anticipated series. Don’t get me wrong this is a full story and what a story it is.

Lance Knight is a fearless man and a member of the Cavalieri. He fears nothing or no one. Now he finds himself fighting for the woman he loves....

But when everything is against him can he find the strength to fight for what he craves the most.

Giuliana has had a sheltered life but u like how she’s come out strong and ready to fight for what she wants.

Absolutely brilliant read. I couldn’t read this fast enough. I’m so looking forward to reading more in the series. Bring em on:)

This is book five in the Deliver series. Each book is amazing and must be read in order. 

When I read of Tiago in Devastate I was really looking forward to reading his story. Take was epic and so much more. It certainly blew my expectations.

Your not gonna get any spoilers from me of Tiago and Kate’s story. Nothing. Nada. I will say I absolutely love these two characters. I was really rooting for Tiago. Yes I’m warped lol read it for yourself and disagree lol 

I’m in awe of this author. Just when I think I’ve read her best book she releases another and blows my mind. I can’t wait to read more from her. A must read for lovers of dark 🖤

When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

The Spitfire Girl in The Skies – Fenella J. Miller

About the book

The second Spitfire Girl novel from bestselling author Fenella J Miller.

The ATA training base, Hampshire, 1940.

Ellie Simpson is attached to an Air Transport Auxiliary base in Hampshire. Life as an ATA pilot is tough, but despite the long hours and danger, Ellie can think of nowhere she'd rather be. Not only does she love flying, but doing important war work, alongside new-found friends, provides a welcome distraction from worrying about loved ones fighting on the front line.

Being an ATA girl is definitely exciting, but as Ellie soon finds out wearing the distinctive blue uniform also means putting her life on the line every time she takes to the skies. It will take friendship and a strength she didn't know she possessed to help her county – and those she loves – to survive.

An inspiring story of an incredible girl going above and beyond during World War II.

She has worked as a nanny, cleaner, field worker, hotelier, chef, secondary and primary teacher and is now a full time writer.

EXTRACT

By the time the lorry had returned to his base at Hornchurch after Neil’s funeral it was as if nothing untoward had taken place. The men were smoking, joking and talking eagerly about getting to the mess for a few beers and a knees-up that evening.

Greg wanted to mourn his best friend for longer than a few hours but his wasn’t the only squadron to lose members and the last thing that was needed was for the base to fall into a sombre mood. To win this war they had to stay focused, positive, push the negative things aside and get on with it.

He was about to head for the Officers’ Mess on his multicoloured bike – a Christmas present from his darling girl – when someone from his squadron yelled at him.

‘There’s a party somewhere – hop in – we’ll give you a lift.’

Why not? He might as well get legless, drown his sorrows, and what better place to do it than at a party? Neil had been his best friend. His loss was going to be hard to adjust to. Obviously the chaps in this squadron would miss him, but they hadn’t trained with him, known him since long before this bloody war started. Stiff upper lip and all that.

The vehicle they were travelling in had been requisitioned – at least he hoped it had – for the evening and was crammed full of young men just like him, all eager to forget they might be next to go for a Burton.

‘Do we have to take any booze?’ Greg asked the man he was crushed against.

‘No, just drop a couple of quid in a kitty on the way in.’

‘Who’s holding this shindig?’

‘No idea. Open invitation to all the bods here.’

The conversation was cut short as the driver spun the wheel and the vehicle lurched sickeningly, throwing him against the man sitting next to him. By the time they’d untangled themselves they screeched to a halt outside an impressive building.

‘Here we are, lads,’ the driver yelled. ‘Not sure when your transport will be returning – hope you’ve got permission to be out all night.’

The CO had told the squadron to go out and get drunk but hadn’t specified when they should return. He hoped to God there wouldn’t be a German raid tonight as there’d be no one sober enough to fly.

He followed the noisy group up the stone steps, under the portico, and into an entrance hall that reminded him sharply of his own ancestral home. But the resemblance was superficial as this place was in urgent need of repair – whoever lived here must be land rich and cash poor, unlike his own unpleasant family.

There was a dozen or so partygoers milling about in the space but the sound of jollity and revelry was coming through the open double doors of the drawing room. No sign of a bar so he couldn’t find himself a much needed drink before he entered the fray.

The drawing room, like the hall, was vast, elegantly furnished, but definitely run down. Two sets of French doors stood wide open onto a terrace. This was where the party was. The last thing he wanted was to smile and be sociable but that was how it was done in the RAF. Onwards and upwards – think about tomorrow not yesterday.

As he was making his reluctant way towards the terrace a familiar voice hailed him. ‘Greg, how wonderful to see you. I hoped you would be here.’ The honourable Elizabeth Hamilton rushed forward and threw her arms around his neck. She was a deb he’d had a brief affair with a couple of years ago. He’d met up with her again at a village social just after he’d been transferred to the squadron and had spent an enjoyable day catching up over a picnic. She wouldn’t ask him how he was feeling, want to talk about his grief; she was exactly the distraction he desperately needed.

‘Elizabeth, I might have known you would be anywhere there was a party going on.’ He extricated himself from her arms without reciprocating her kiss but she seemed unbothered by his rejection.

‘I’m sorry about your friend, I know you have just returned from his funeral. The night is for forgetting, for having a jolly good time and I’ll help you do that.’

The next few hours passed in a haze of loud music, too much alcohol and wild dancing. By the time it got dark he’d forgotten everything apart from the pleasure of holding a beautiful girl in his arms and twirling her around the ballroom. His misery at the death of his friend had been numbed by drink. Live in the moment is what they were advised to do and he was doing that with a vengeance.

‘I’m bushed, I need some fresh air and another drink.’

‘So do I, Greg, let’s get one and have a stroll around the garden. Now it’s dark, it’s lovely out there.’

When she kissed him he responded and what happened next was inevitable. If they’d still been inside, in full view of his comrades, things would have been different.

He tumbled her to the ground behind a concealing shrub and she was as eager as he to make love. For a few minutes he forgot Neil, Ellie, everything that mattered to him as his baser instincts took over. It had been too long since he’d slept with a woman and not even a bomb dropping could have prevented him from being unfaithful.
