<span style="color: black; font-weight: 400;">Amy Daws is an Amazon Top 25 bestselling author of sexy, contemporary romance novels. She enjoys writing love stories that take place in America, as well as across the pond in England; especially about those footy-playing Harris Brothers of hers. When Amy is not writing in a tire shop waiting room, she’s watching Gilmore Girls, or singing karaoke in the living room with her daughter while Daddy smiles awkwardly from a distance.</span></div>

This is another read that has followed me from my childhood.. Sundays in my house consisted of going to Mass followed by reading of the The Sunday Post at either the church hall or my grandparents house. I wasn't interested in reading the rest of the newspaper, it was always about the comic strips. Every time.<br />
It soon became family tradition that come Christmas we would receive The Broons and Oor Wullie annuals as gifts. My older sister and I would ignore everything else whilst we read a book each before swapping with each other.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
This tradition is something I have tried to carry on with my own kids, unfortunately they don't really appreciate the strips the way I did and the tradition instead seems to be I buy a book for my husband at Christmas. then pinch it for myself after he's read a few pages.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Harriet Wheatley is the mastermind behind the Ladies of Virtue's quest to rehabilitate the gentlemen of the ton. So when it comes to selecting her own target, she knows who to choose: Oliver Weeks, Marquess of Davenport—the most extravagant wastrel in all of London.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Known for his opulent lifestyle, Oliver isn't surprised by Harriet's confrontation. It's obvious Harriet longs for any way to take him down a notch. She says she'll help him find a bride, but he knows it's only because it gives her the excuse to chastise his indulgent ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oliver has good reason for his flagrant overspending, but Harriet will hear nothing of it. So he has no choice but to teach the lady a lesson, even if it means risking his heart to the hard-headed and fiery woman.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chelsea London is looking to misbehave. What's being good ever gotten her, besides getting dumped and passed over for a big promotion at work?

And suddenly, one night of bad-girldom isn't nearly enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.tarynleightaylor.com/">Taryn Leigh Taylor</a> likes dinosaurs, bridges, and space, both personal and of the final frontier variety.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She shamelessly indulges in cliches, most notably her Starbucks addiction (grande-six-pump-whole-milk-no-water chai tea latte, aka: the usual), her shoe hoard (I can stop anytime I...ooh! These are pretty!), and her penchant for falling in lust with fictional men with great abs (Roarke, Harvey Specter, Kid Chaos, Dean Winchester, and so on, ad infinitum.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She also really loves books, which is what sent her down the crazy path of writing one in the first place.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Excerpt</span></h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">A slight breeze stirred, and despite the fires, Erica found herself shivering in her thin sweater.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I think I’ll just go back to my room and grab a jacket.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She stood up, and so did Jean-Luc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Fine,” he said. “I’ll just grab my rifle.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Erica had forgotten that because out past the dining area, the camp was unfenced, guests were forbidden to walk around alone after dark and had to be accompanied by an armed ranger. She picked up her backpack while Jean-Luc took his rifle out of its case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“This way.” He ushered her out of the boma and onto the path toward her room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She shuddered slightly as his hand touched the sensitive area of her upper arm. “Wait, what is that noise?” she asked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">They both paused mid-route. Across the still night, they stood motionless, and listened to a strange, throaty growling sound, followed by a kind of deep bark.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Lions,” said Jean-Luc casually. “Sounds like they’re mating.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Really?” asked Erica. “I thought lions hunted at night.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Actually, during mating season, they will have sex for three days. For all of that time, they don’t hunt, or even sleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Don’t worry—they are actually quite far off. When lions are near, I can smell them. You are perfectly safe.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Erica felt safe from the lions, with a six-foot-four armed ranger at her side. But was she safe from the ranger? Or more to the point, was she safe from the desire she felt building in her at every second? </span></div>

One of my very earliest reading memories was this book. Or rather this story.<br />
The version I read was included in one of those fortnightly/monthly subscription magazines. Each issue came with a magazine filled with serialised stories and accompanying tape cassette so very young readers could read along (including a ping at the end of every page so you knew when to turn over). My mum bought us the whole collection, but Gobbolino's story is the only I truly remember. And I loved it. I would fast forward the tapes to find the next instalment (I think it was split into chapters) I just new I couldn't wait til the next instalment to find out what had happened.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Over the years I have spoken to others about this story and not one other person had ever heard of it and I was convinced that I must have remembered it wrong, or imagined it. Until one day I was browsing in the local charity shop and I found this copy. I just knew I had to buy it. Sadly for me my kids were not as keen as i was... until my second oldest decided to give it a go and loved the book as much as I did.<br />
<br />
Fast forward almost 8 years later and we found a female cat in our garden who had given birth to a litter of kittens in my daughters playhouse. We looked for the owner but couldn't find one, so we took care of the momma cat, made sure she had plenty of food and water and in return she let my kids play with and socialise with her babies... and when we saw this little guy we just knew his temporary name would be Gobbolino.. he doesn't have the white paw like Gobbolino in the story but the name most certainly it him. When the kittens got to about 6 weeks old, one day the mommma cat left the kittens behind and didn't come back, so we found a lovely home for Gobbolino (his name was changed to something the family preferred though) and one of his sisters and we ended up keeping his other two sisters. And incase anyone thinks this is a sad story dont worry we have since seen the momma cat we just think she'd had enough of raising babies.<br />

Ellie Malouff returns with a smashing standalone contemporary romance novel that was named a finalist for the 2018 Stiletto Contest and 2018 Molly Contest.<br />
On October 1, travel across the Atlantic with Cara Montgomery when she inherits an English estate with a devilishly handsome Brit.
Reid Lewis is handsome, successful, and every bit the English gentleman. Years spent in England’s finest boarding schools will do that.<br />
Cara Montgomery is a California girl through and through, even if she was born across the pond. As a struggling graduate student, she works part-time at a coffee house, slinging espresso for San Diego’s
caffeine addicted.<br />
When these two strangers are named the sole beneficiaries of a substantial English estate that rivals Pemberley, their worlds collide and tensions flare. They couldn’t be more different. Cara’s got a flair for Mexican food, books, and leggings. Reid is as posh as they come and a regular on the black-tie gala scene.
Against Reid’s better judgment, he agrees to stay and play house with Cara so she can search not only for keepsakes from her childhood but for the family secrets that have been hidden from her all her life.<br />
Spending the summer together in a Somerset mansion isn’t what either of them had in mind, but it has its perks, especially when the person you want beyond reason is living under the same roof.

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Excerpt</span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“So, to what do I owe the honor of your divine company, Miss Holden?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She quirked a neat eyebrow and opened her rose petal lips, a motion he watched with sober interest. Everything about her stirred a subtle, yet alarming attraction. All of this forced him to keep reminding himself the woman existed only as a means to an end, nothing more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“My lord, I’ve come…” She hesitated, he believed, to gather enough courage to go through with her reason.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You’ve come,” he repeated in an overly husky voice, trying to fluster her further.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She puffed out her cheeks and tempered a few silent words. He wanted to chuckle. He refrained, instead, by hiding his mirth behind a tight fist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You think my discomfort is amusing, do you not?” she asked, seeing right through him. If she expected an answer, she didn’t wait to hear it, her body set in motion at a hurried pace in his direction. “Edward told me—”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Wesley shot out of his relaxed stance and met her halfway. He towered over her, trying to intimidate her. To his dismay, she didn’t cower, she didn’t even flinch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Yes,” he said, bending down low enough to see a hint of amber reflected in her distrusting eyes. “Go on. I’d love to hear more about your dear cousin, Miss Holden.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">As he waited for her response, the light from the open window shifted, bathing his guest in the brilliant radiance of the late-day sun. She remained silent, her hands flying to the pocket of her dress, as if to protect whatever lay inside. Beyond any doubt, Wesley believed she knew something. She would not be here, would not have come swathed in mystery and risking her own reputation, if this did not involve Edward’s guidance in some way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The curiosity of what she held compelled him to keep her at Penndrake until he found out what Edward Garrett wanted her to know. Out of patience, he eased away from her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Miss Holden, may I suggest we take a walk in the gardens? The day is almost gone, but there is enough light to see us through, allowing us to discuss this further without interruption.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Again, she opened her curved lip but said nothing. Suspicion sprang from her demeanor, her gaze darting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">around the room as if searching for the closest exit. Instead of fleeing, however, she motioned with a surrendering nod, stepping forward until the coat of arms over the fireplace caught her attention.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">He studied her as she examined the Wesley motto, her lips moving mutely as she read the three words embedded at the bottom of the shield. Shameful heat rose from deep inside him, and he lifted a rare prayer to the heavens for her not to know the meaning of those powerful words. Maybes he was too poor to have been schooled like her giddy cousins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Even so, he studied her curious face until she turned to him, her eyes void of any awareness or comprehension. Breathing a sigh of relief, he held his arm out for her to take. She paused, a timid and uncertain hand coming up to rest on his sleeve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Outside, the day had faded into dusk and dazzled the sight, impressing upon it a majestic beauty of pearl-pink altostratus clouds. Behind them tumbled a blanket of slate-gray vapors, an ominous forewarning of twilight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The much cooler breeze tugged at the tails of his heavy jacket. He slowed his pace and continued to escort her down a flight of stone steps onto a spacious unblemished lawn. They walked for several hundred yards in silence, him admiring her wondrous interest. On their way to the garden, they passed the stocked fish pond and the honeysuckle-laden labyrinth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Toward the east, he halted at a stone fountain, centered in the thickest part of the coppice. Large shadows turned the evening darker, the chilly autumn wind transforming Miss Holden’s dewy skin to a nice pink. With his arm outstretched, he persuaded her to a wrought iron bench on the opposite side of where they stood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Please have a seat with me.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">He pointed, and she accepted his invitation, much too carelessly, he thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She sat down first, her behind resting on the farthest edge of one side. Not to frighten her, he followed suit, allowing enough space to fit her three female cousins between them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">After a quiet moment, he pronounced, “I believe you don’t think too highly of me, Miss Holden, and I would like to persuade you otherwise.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She drew back and gawked at him with wide sage-like eyes. A wisp of her hair tumbled down into her thick lashes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Unhindered, she blew it away with a quickly exhaled breath.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Her refinement, or lack thereof, surprised him. Most women—no—<i>all </i>women of her lower station practiced the art of how to appeal to a man and his interests, enough so to attract an amiable and sensible husband. Perhaps, however, Miss Kathryn Holden had no reason to draw the attention of the opposite sex, especially since she had another companion in mind. He tried to convince himself it didn’t matter either way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Her experience might play to his advantage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Still, he sought the truth on the matter, just because his thoughts weren’t able to let it go. “Forgive me if I seem too impertinent—”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She scoffed. “You’ve just now thought of apologizing for something you’re about to say? How extraordinary.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">He chuckled and shook his head. “Sarcasm does not become you, madam.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Neither does naivety.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Who do you turn to when the law is the problem?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Marisol hoped divorce was the key to a new life—one away from her crazy ex-</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
husband. Instead she’s working two jobs and struggling to make ends meet as</div>
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">her problems escalate. Terrified and desperate for help—any help—she turns to</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
a stranger, a man her brother swore could help with just about any problem. The</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
answer to her problems is tall, dark, deadly and everything she’d once thought</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
she wanted in a man. But to him she’s a job. Nothing more.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No one should fight an impossible war alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Ethan founded Counterstrike he expected a challenge but nothing could</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
have prepared him for Marisol. She’s smart, courageous, compassionate,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
headstrong, and everything he’s ever wanted. But her troubles come with a price</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
tag he didn’t expect when he must face his own personal demons to keep her</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
safe. </div>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I’m sorry I fell asleep,” she whispered, unsure exactly how that had happened. She’d thought she’d never sleep again, yet she’d literally gone so comatose she’d fallen asleep in a stranger’s truck.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">He’d freaking carried her into his house, or she assumed as much since she had no clue how she would’ve gotten inside otherwise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Adrenaline surged within her as her fight or flight response kicked in again. The damn thing activated instantaneously. Slow reactions resulted in pain, and she’d never been a big fan of that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Chester wouldn’t be too happy that she’d filed a police report. He’d send someone else to hurt her. That someone would hurt anyone between her and him. The thought spiraled her mind onto a new path.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Ethan had been nice, he’d gotten her away when she needed to go anywhere but where she was at. But she couldn’t let him or anyone else get hurt by Chester and the assholes who did his bidding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I should go.” She yanked on the bottom of her scrubs even though everything was hanging where it should. The sooner she got away from Ethan, the better for him. “Thanks for your help.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Well, Mari, I was raised to believe friends didn’t abandon friends having troubles. And you, sweetheart, have a big pile of those slithering all around you like an angry nest of vipers.”</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Blurb</span></strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Elise Cormier has hated Cole Whitehurst since she was five years old. He's always known just how to make her feel dumb, shabby, and — worst of all — invisible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Even when they live under the same roof.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">But that's where Elise learns Cole's terrible secret and why he is the way he is. Despite how he's always treated her, Elise becomes his ally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Cole Whitehurst has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Day in and day out, it's up to him to keep his mother and sister safe. He's used to giving up everything he wants in order to protect them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">And there's nothing he wants more than Elise Cormier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Cole has no business falling for his housekeeper's daughter, but how could he resist? She's funny. She's real. And he trusts her with his life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">But, as Cole knows, loving someone comes with a price, and it may take him years to pay it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Chapter Twelve Excerpt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I didn't think about it. I didn't even hesitate. I tugged her hand, pulled Elise against me, and covered her mouth with mine. Her startled gasp met my tongue, and a bolt of desire shot clean through me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">This morning, our kiss had been a measured exploration. But not this time. This was a conquest. And even though I led the kiss and it was my arms that wrapped around Elise and gathered her tight against me, I was the one conquered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Even as I plundered her mouth, I knew surrender was my only option. How could I resist her? She was fearless. She was flawless. She'd redefined what I knew of beauty. Yes, anyone could see she was beautiful. But who else but me knew how brave and capable she was? How ingenious and resourceful? How genuine?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She knew all of my secrets, and still she opened her mouth to welcome my outlaw tongue. And those were her hands diving inside the shelter of my jacket, skimming over my thin dress shirt and leaving behind a signature of heat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I had no business getting hard in the shadowed hallway of my parents' house on the night of our escape. With Elise Cormier, no less. But under her touch, I was like a brick. I'd never wanted anyone like this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I had to stop. I knew this. But I just wanted to keep kissing her. To lie down with her. To listen to that delicate cry she sang into my ear as my lips moved to her neck. But what I wanted more than anything was time. Time to discover all of her secrets. I wanted to hear everything she wanted, and I ached to give her whatever I could.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">But I could have none of that. Especially time.</span></div>

I know many will be wondering why I chose Half Blood Prince and not one of the earlier books in the series... we'll get to that. Be patient.<br />
<br />
Harry Potter, everyone has heard of this wizard, whether you have read the books, watched the movies or even ignored them all, you've heard of him. I first heard of Harry around the time when Order of the Phoenix was being released. I remember hearing about the huge queues outside of book stores so that people could get their hands on copies as soon as possible. And I remember thinking what a complete over reaction. I knew grown adults who were excited to get their copy and I remember feeling incredulous that adults where falling over themselves to read a childrens book. A childrens book. I avoided the books and by association the movies too just because of this fact.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Fast forward a few years... Deathly Hallows had just been released and I had more and more people telling me I should read the books. I had just rediscovered my love of reading and had delved into genres I wouldn't have before and I decided to give them a go. It didn't stop me scoffing my way through Philosophers stone and tutting at it for being a kids book. But as I progressed through the books I became more and more enthralled, Rowling had certainly woven magic into these stories and they had me hooked. But it was this book that saw me break from my firm believe that these books were aimed at just children.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If you have been living under a rock and haven't read this book or seen the movie then maybe stop reading now.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqzlESjnDvpYb6AaJE9d2pfFNmgYQjsM0NKrS5XZ14fayArnQ5Sf7Pu-aEcKNp8o59CIbdCYY3O3pv652b0iPsGPqRAuwtf0ftiTDP1-o8dP1vbArb4l1x9kiK31PTNTpT1bqLGXDDQE/s1600/IMG_20180802_175523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqzlESjnDvpYb6AaJE9d2pfFNmgYQjsM0NKrS5XZ14fayArnQ5Sf7Pu-aEcKNp8o59CIbdCYY3O3pv652b0iPsGPqRAuwtf0ftiTDP1-o8dP1vbArb4l1x9kiK31PTNTpT1bqLGXDDQE/s320/IMG_20180802_175523.jpg" width="240" /></a>It was this scene right here that changed my mind. Despite everything we had been told up to this point, and the fact that Harry had also survived this very same curse, I was sure Dumbledore would not be slain by this curse. When I realised that he had in fact died I was sobbing uncontrollably... and then bizarrely, laughing at myself or crying at a childrens book.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book will always be my favourite, despite my beloved Severus' actions here, because this was the moment I realised how much I loved this series. And finally accepted that this series wasn't just for children.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is another series where I have lost count of the amount of times I have read the books, or watched the movies. But it still brings me great joy every time (except for those bits that make me cry lots... I'm looking at you Deathly Hallows). But my most favourite part of this series is the ability to share it with my children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
And now a confession...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This isn't even my copy of Half Blood Prince. My copy is the adult version, but it is a first edition library copy, which means that it has been well read and much abused, the spine is broken and a few of the pages are loose (all of which happened before I rescued it from a charity shop). This copy was loaned to me by a stranger for my daughter (then 9 or 10) to read since my copy was so fragile. But to my horror she decided it would be a good idea to read it with pens in her hands and she drew on this copy, which made me incredibly grateful that I didn't allow her to read my copy but it did mean I then I had to buy a brand new copy to replace the one the kind lady had loaned us.</div>
<br />
<br />
I would have preferred to have used a photo of my actual copy but due to its condition I have tucked it away from prying hands to protect it and have for the moment forgotten where I have placed it oopsies... perhaps the house elves have squirrelled it away somewhere.<br />

Its hard to believe that nine years ago I had never read a word of this series, had never watched a movie and didn't really know what the whole series was about.I knew a few people who liked the books but it was at a point in my life when I wasn't reading. I hadn't been able to enjoy reading for a few years.<br />
Roll on movie night with my husband and <b>he</b> picked Twilight for us to watch, he'd been told it was good. I enjoyed the movie, but didn't get what all the fuss was about. My Facebook friends urged me to read the books. So I took a chance and ordered all four books. And there was no looking back.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I devoured the four books in about 2 weeks, and then spent a week wondering if I could re-read them before diving back in again. I've lost count of how many times I've read this series, yet I've never written a review for these books. Even now, I will walk past my shelves and see this sat there and i'll just pick it up and start reading it. I know these books cover to cover but i still get the same level of enjoyment from it that I got the first time I read them. For me these books will never grow old.<br />
<br />
There is so much love and hate regarding this series, but for me this series will always hold a place in my heart, not just because I genuinely love the story, but because it restarted my love of reading. It also opened my eyes to genres other than horror and gave me my first glimpse into paranormal. There are so many books I would not have even looked at if I hadn't first read Twilight.<br />

Shona's review 5 of 5 stars</h4>
<div>
The tag line for this book is a real hook <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">THE SERIAL KILLER ISN'T ON TRIAL. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>HE'S ON THE JURY... </b>I know this because it pulled me in not once, not twice but three times. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The first time was when I received the email from Netgalley telling me the book was available to request, the second time was when I purchased the audio book from audible, and the third time was when I purchased a paperback copy. This is what happens when you forget what books you have. And yet, not once did I read the actual blurb for this book so I failed to spot that this is in fact the fourth book in the Eddie Flynn series, that being said you don't need to read the first three books to enjoy this one. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">One of the things I loved about this book was getting inside the killers head, but still being completely oblivious to his real identity, knowing that he is working with someone but having no clue who that person could be. I loved following Eddie as he tries to pick his way through the case after being called in last minute. I didn't necessarily like being kept in the dark as he found clues to his clients innocence but it definitely added to the mystery as he revealed these things in the courtroom, and ramped up the excitement levels as the actual killer seethed from his seat on the jury as he felt his fellow jurors decisions being swayed.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will be definitely looking for the first three books in this series and finding out more about Eddie Flynn.</div>

<br />
Tattooed, pink-haired, Bettie Page lookalike Nina is addicted to bad boys. Like Heathcliff and Cathy, Nina firmly believes that true love only takes one form: wild, mad love, full of passion and fire and tempestuous arguments, and she won’t settle for anything less.<br />
<br />
But years of swiping right has uncovered nothing but losers and flings, and Nina is no closer to finding her One True Love than she ever was. And when a man from her past walks into the shop Nina knows she has nothing to fear. The geekiest boy in her school has become a boring business analyst who's welded to his iPad and with his navy blue suits and ginger hair, Noah has no chance of making her heart go pitter patter.<br />
<br />
Which just shows how little Nina knows about bad boys, business analysts and her heart…<br />
<br />

Claire's Review 5 of 5 Stars</span></h4>
Oh, how I love this book series! I was so excited when I saw this book was out and I'm even more excited that there will be another after this as well, I really never want these books or the series to end!<br />
<br />
This is the third book in the series and follows Nina and her mission in life to find her 'Heathcliff'. Nina is such a funny character and has many different levels to her personality. On the outside, she is bold and funny, with pink hair and a loud fashion sense, but underneath she is vulnerable and not as confident as she seems.<br />
<br />
In comes Noah, a friend of Sebastian and the complete opposite of Nina. he is hired by Posy to analyse the bookshop to see where they could make changes. Once Nina gets to know Noah, she is pleasantly surprised, but her past holds her back.<br />
<br />
These two were just perfect for each other! I was rooting for them the whole way through! I could just picture Noah as similar to Eddie Redmayne! I could really shout about every part of this book but I would post too many spoilers! <br />
<br />
I am now counting down the days till the next installment and cannot wait!

Real life has prevented us from being anywhere near as active as we would have liked. Hopefully normal service can resume... with a few changes.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First up will be a Monday Roundup of books due to be released that week. So authors, if you have a book releasing and would like to feature in our post, please send me the link for your book no later than the Friday of the week before release date.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next will be our Tuesday Teasers. And I'd like to think the name speaks for itself. If you would like your book to be featured please send me a photo teaser and buy link for your book. Again no later than the Friday of the week before.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which brings us to Throwback Thursdays, where we will be sharing old reviews and favourite books.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Freebie Fridays will (hopefully) see us share a list of books that can be picked up absolutely free (no subscription required). If you know of any books that you think others would love to get their book loving hands on for free then dont hesitate to drop us a link. If the book in question is on sale for a limited time only please let us know when the sale ends so we can ensure we get the link shared during the right week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you would like your books and teasers featured please don't hesitate to contact us on Bookyramblings@gmail.com with either Monday Roundup, Teaser Tuesday or Freebie Friday in the subject header.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><em>I want revenge.</em></span>
<span style="color: black;">With scars like these, I knew I could never forget my past.</span>
<span style="color: black;">With threats like these, I can’t escape, either.</span>
<span style="color: black;">This time, I’m fighting back. I don’t just want my life back. I want vengeance for what was done to me.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I didn’t plan to fall in love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><em>I want to save her.</em></span>
<span style="color: black;">A girl like her isn’t easily forgotten.</span>
<span style="color: black;">A girl like her doesn’t trust easily.</span>
<span style="color: black;">I’ll fight for her—I’ll fight with her. Together, we can build a new life, free from the past. Together, we can rise.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Even if we could lose everything by trying.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Two decades ago when a magical war nearly destroyed all societies, those with supernatural gifts emerged from the shadows to help save the humans. Yet despite their contributions, the Magic Users are still treated like second-class citizens, being forced to register like criminals and monitored by traitors to their own kind.</span><span style="text-align: justify;">
</span><span style="text-align: justify;">
</span><span style="text-align: justify;">As a necromancer hiding her talents, Cressa struggles to raise enough money to free her mother from the Reformatory, a place far worse than prison. With a brother who’s working against her and graduation on the line, Cressa finds it difficult to follow the laws of her world. And when the alluring Noah enters her life with an opportunity to take back what is hers, she can’t resist the temptation to break all of the rules. Even her own. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">
</span><span style="text-align: justify;">
</span><span style="text-align: justify;">But Noah’s intentions are not clear, and his own mysterious background lands Cressa in the middle of a supernatural battle she hadn’t bargained for. He has plans of his own, and whether or not Cressa fits into them, is a question she must answer alone. Preferably before her heart makes that decision for her.</span></div>

<strong>Excerpt</strong></h1>
EXCERPT: LOVE AND…GUILT<br />
“So…here you are.”<br />
“Here I am.”<br />
“A good cop on a shit planet. Surrounded by criminals who want to feast on your innards.”<br />
I attempted a grin. “Only some of them. And what makes you think I’m a good cop?” That was quite a leap.<br />
“Any other flatfoot would have delivered me to Granny. Let me get carved by Scale.”<br />
“Maybe not all of them.”<br />
She snorted. “You put yourself at risk, helping me. They wouldn’t have done that.” Probably not. She turned a bit; her gaze became steadier. “Why?”<br />
I stared at her exquisite face. Swallowed. My pulse thrummed. She was far too close, I could smell her breath. Feel her warmth. That old familiar ache swelled. “Haven’t you figured that out yet?” A whisper. No need to say it out loud.<br />
“I—”<br />
Didn’t let her finish. Didn’t want to hear. Couldn’t bear it if it was some kind of gentle rebuff.<br />
I leaned forward and silenced her with a kiss. A soft one. Gentle. <br />
She didn’t pull away. Our lips clung.<br />
Her taste suffused me, filled my brain. Elated me. Made me whole and left me empty at the same time. Left me longing for more. I knew it couldn’t happen. Could never happen, but that didn’t quash my hunger. My hope.<br />
“Guess I’m pretty lucky too,” she murmured. And then she nestled closer and laid her head on my chest. I froze. And then, when I could manage it, curled my arms around her and held her. <br />
And tried to ignore that annoying ripple of guilt.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nineteen. There’s something about that number; it not only brought us together, bonding us forever, it also played a hand in tearing us apart.<br />
<br />
The nineteenth of January 1996. I’ll never forget it. It was the day we met. I was seven and she was six. It was the day she moved in next door, and the day I developed my first crush on a girl.<br />
<br />
Exactly nineteen years later, all my dreams came true when she became my wife. She was the love of my life. My soul mate. My everything. The reason I looked forward to waking up every morning.<br />
<br />
Then tragedy struck. Nineteen days after we married, she was in an accident that would change our lives forever. When she woke from her coma, she had no memory of me, of us, of the love we shared.<br />
<br />
I was crushed. She was my air, and without her I couldn’t breathe.<br />
<br />
The sparkle that once glistened her eyes when she looked at me was gone. To her, now, I was a stranger. I had not only lost my wife, I had lost my best friend.<br />
<br />
But I refused to let this tragedy be the end of us. That’s when I started to write her letters, stories of our life. Of when we met. About the happier times, and everything we had experienced together.<br />
<br />
What we had was far too beautiful to be forgotten.<br />

Shona's review 5 of 5 stars</h4>
<div>
Let me start by saying I have been in an awful slump recently and haven't been able to enjoy reading so I was a little anxious when I picked this one up. I needn't have worried though, I instantly loved Braxton and Jemma's story, so much so I finished this in two sittings. It was just so easy to slip between the pages, and truthfully if I hadn't had to deal with real life stuff I could happily have devoured this in just one sitting,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I loved reading Braxtons letters just as much as Jem did, and I loved hearing about how they became best friends and how they then fell in love. And I loved how their now seemed to echo their past, it added an extra dimension to their relationship and allowed Jemma to make new but old memories at the same time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the first time I have read anything written by Perry and so had no expectations going in to this book. But given that I loved it so much I think its safe to say that I shall be branching out and seeking out Perry's other work.</div>
