Book Review: Are You Ready? by Amanda Hearty

Posted on Monday, July 6th, 2009 by Leah

Ready for…love? Ready for…a new job? Ready to…grow up? Ready for…change? Ready for…life?

Life has been good for Ali, Molly, Ben and Sarah, things have seemed easy and uncomplicated and they have had the world at their feet. But now as they say goodbye to their twenties and thirty looms they begin to question themselves…

Is Ali really ready to get married and become a wife, or is everything moving too fast? Molly has followed her dreams and changed jobs, but has she made a big mistake? Ben is still living at home - surely it’s time he moved out? And will Sarah ever find someone to love or will she always be single? Life is full of twists and turns and change is inevitable.

Now they must ask themselves…are they ready for it?

Book News: Bad Money by Louise Patten

Posted on Monday, July 6th, 2009 by Leah

Bad Money is Louise Patten’s debut novel and will be released on September 3rd. It sounds like a good read - perfect for fans of Louise Bagshawe. The synopsis reads:

Mary Kersey, the breadwinner in her family, juggles her job as a high-flying management consultant at Lock Chase with trying to be a good mother to her 8-year-old daughter Grace and keeping Trister, her husband’s ancestral home in Suffolk, in a decent state of repair. It is enough to challenge the most organised of women. When the headmistress of Grace’s boarding school calls to say that Grace is acutely homesick and should come home, the demands on Mary’s time and energy become almost overwhelming. Dr Alan Dove is CEO of biotechnology company, Pneumatech. He wants to buy a competitor who specialises in cosmetics, F-ACE.

They’d be a perfect fit if only he could afford them. Enter Ivan Strawe, evil genius head of M & A at Wolkenbank, who’ll find a way to lower the F-ACE share price with the help of a hedge fund that’s only too happy to help. Of course there’ll be a nice little cut for all of them once the deal goes through. Meanwhile Mary, who surprisingly retains a conscience in this dog-eat-dog world, is recruited by the Treasury to investigate dodgy dealings at hedge funds. Her world and that of Dove and Kona are set on a collision course…

Book Review: Just The Three Of Us by Clare Dowling

Posted on Monday, July 6th, 2009 by Chloe

claredowlingthethreeofus

Geri and Bob have a good marriage, or so they both thought. They have 2 children, have good jobs and a nice home. But when Bob meets Debs by chance in a sandwich shop near work, sparks fly and the two embark on an affair, without Geri being any the wiser of course. Debs loves Bob very much and wants him to be a part of her life, but Bob is of course far more reluctant.

But as things begin to get serious for Debs and Bob, will their sudden relationship survive the scrutiny, and is Geri ever going to find out that it’s more than just the two of them in her marriage?
