Book News: It's Now Or Never by Carole Matthews

Posted on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 by Leah

We’ve only just seen the cover for Carole Matthews’ latest novel That Loving Feeling, out on September 17th when we have news of her next novel It’s Now Or Never. It’s due for release on 18th February 2010 and the synopsis reads:

When twins Annie and Lauren attend their sister Chelsea’s fortieth birthday party at the Dorchester Hotel, they wonder why their lives are so totally different from their gorgeous, glamorous sister.

Why is it that Chelsea’s handsome husband is twirling her round the dance floor, with an expression of utter devotion on his face, while Annie’s husband is away on a fishing trip and Lauren’s boyfriend is at home with his wife and kids. Surely, they are doing something wrong here.

The question is, is it too late for them to change…?

It’s bound to be another great read from Carole and I have just started All You Need Is Love so look out for a review of it!

Book News: Someone Special goes to Number 1!

Posted on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 by Chloe

Sheila O'Flanagan - Someone Special According to The Bookseller, Sheila O’Flanagan has achieved her first ever UK number 1 book! Someone Special sold a massive 34,776 copies in just 7 days, and is now top of the charts in both the UK and Ireland! Here’s the synopsis in case you fancy picking up a copy:

“Romy Kilkenny loves her life in Australia she has her dream job, lots of mates, and a best friend in Keith, who understands her better than anyone. Best of all, she couldn’t be further from her family. But when her brother rings to say she’s needed back in Ireland right away, Romy’s world is turned upside down. Flying home to see her mother and her half-siblings, Romy doubts she’ll fit in better now than she ever did, and she’s still not ready to forgive her mother for her truly disgraceful behaviour a few years earlier. Romy also worries that the accidental half-kiss with Keith at the airport may have brought their easy friendship to a sudden end. Whatever lies ahead, it’s not what Romy’s expecting - even the people we grow up with can surprise us, and if love is to be found, it will find a way.”

I have only read one of Sheila’s novels, Anyone But Him which is a few years old and I loved it so I must definitely get a copy of this one, it sounds great!

Congratulations on your number 1, Sheila!

From The Bookseller

Book Review: West End Girls by Jenny Colgan

Posted on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 by Leah

The streets of London are paved with gold …allegedly.

They may be twin sisters, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites - Penny is blonde, thin and outrageous; Lizzie quiet, thoughtful and, well, definitely not thin. The one trait they do share is a desire to DO something with their lives, and as far as they’re concerned, the place to get noticed is London.

Out of the blue they discover they have a grandmother living in Chelsea - and when she has to go into hospital, they find themselves flat-sitting on the King’s Road. But, as they discover, it’s not as easy to become It Girls as they’d imagined, and west end boys aren’t at all like Hugh Grant ...

Book News: Temptation by Olivia Darling

Posted on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 by Chloe

I have loved both of Olivia Darling’s previous books Vintage and Priceless. Therefore I was pleased to see she is back with her third book to be called Temptation. It’s due for release on 18th February 2010 so there’s a bit of a wait, but judging by her other work, it should be worth it. Here’s a short synopsis from Amazon:

“Eleanor is a high-flying hedge fund manager. Juliet, sacked from the same firm after an affair with her boss. Perseverance (aka Percy) is working as a cleaner to fund her ambition to become an opera singer. The paths of all three women collide in Olivia Darling’s sexy, glamorous new novel.”

Published through Sphere, the book is available for pre-order now. No book cover is available yet but we’ll post it when it is released!

Olivia Darling is a pseudonym of author Chris Manby.
