Author Interview: Alison Kervin

Posted on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 by Leah

Alison Kervin is the author of the hilariously funny A WAG’s Diary and A WAG Abroad - both of which I loved and her third novel, Celebrity Bride (which I’ve just read and reviewed - look out for it soon!), was released in June. She kindly agreed to do an interview with us and here are her answers!

1. Describe your latest novel in a sentence.

Celebrity Bride is about a beautiful young girl who falls head over heels with a handsome, rich man who also happens to be the most famous actor in the world. Meeting him pulls her into a new and complex world which has her becoming paranoid and worried about her life, her friends and her love. She even finds herself caught up in a murder investigation. It’s light and humorous but with a darker edge that looks at the world of celebrity, female friendships gone wrong, and what it is out of life that we all really want… (sorry, not a sentence!!)

Book News: Sweet Nothings by Robyn Sisman

Posted on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 by Leah

Robyn Sisman’s seventh novel, Sweet Nothings, was due for release in March 2010 but has been put back until 6th May 2010. The synopsis, which sounds great, reads:

Kate is a rising star in one of London’s top barristers’ chambers. Smart, competitive and driven, she is jubilant when she lands a high-profile case representing the film-maker and charity activist Jez Carnaby. Children are involved, as are houses, helicopters, racehorses, private islands, and money - lots of it. Winning this case will guarantee Kate the success and stability she craves.

There’s only one problem: the man leading the opposing legal team is her own husband, Riki. Frost settles on their previously hot marriage. Kate is outraged by Riki’s sympathy for his female client, whom Kate sees as a negligent mother and freeloader. Riki is disgusted that contact with Carnaby is making her as selfish as her client. Suddenly issues which they could laugh off or resolve in bed erupt into quarrels, whether about who puts out the rubbish bin or about Kate’s ambivalence towards having children..

Through fighting the case in the court by day while sharing a bed by night, both must reassess their ideas about parenthood, fidelity and the equality of men and women in a modern marriage. From the leafy quadrangles and panelled chambers of London’s legal heartland to glitzy country mansions; from courtroom ritual to party excess, SWEET NOTHINGS is a fun and fast battle of the sexes, packed with wit and emotional truth.

Book Review: Gym & Slimline by Emma Burstall

Posted on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 by Leah

** Read our exclusive interview with Emma Burstall here **

A swanky new gym has opened in leafy south-west London. Four women bond over push ups and Pilates and become firm friends.

Percy likes sorting out other people’s problems, but her own life is a shambles, with a terrible secret addiction. Can she kick it and win back the love of her husband? Patrice, wealthy but damaged, wants another baby, but husband Jonty isn’t interested in sex. Is it her imagination, or is he getting too close to the husband of one of her new friends? Carmen is living dangerously, determined to get pregnant by her cold, treacherous boyfriend. She doesn’t see what is under her nose until it’s nearly too late. Suzanne adores her sexy second husband, but is she neglecting him for her job? And has she realised what is happening to her teenage daughter?

New best friends. Their friendship is about to be tested to the limit.
