Book Review: In The Wee Small Hours by Gil McNeil

Posted on Friday, January 29th, 2010 by Leah

Annie Baker’s life could not be more complicated: her sister Lizzie wants her to be her birthing partner once she goes into labour, her boss Barney has her working like a demon as he tries to make even more outrageous commercials and her friends Kate and Laila are either wrapped up in new men or having an affair with their ex-husband.

Her son Charlie has now decided he wants to be a Pagan and wants a pet pheasant, dog and ferret and she also has to look after her old, and slightly mad, Uncle Monty. To top it all off, just when she thinks she’s getting over Mack, he comes waltzing back into her life. What’s a girl to do?

Her first novel Luxury only came out at the latter half of 2009, but Jessica Ruston already has her second book lined up! It’s untitled as of yet but it’s due out 30th September 2010, and here’s the synopsis:

“Glamour, tragedy and a family curse feature in this gripping epic blockbuster. Hard-working, talented and beautiful, sixteen-year-old Violet Genockey dreams of making a life for herself away from her parents in Dorset - her father, a gypsy turned violent drunk; her mother, a seamstress, bitter with resentment at her lot in life.

With a baby on the way and a job at a miliner’s, life is busy but rewarding. But just a year later, Bryce is murdered, and her own father has blood on his hands. When Violet testifies in court, her father calls down a gypsy curse that chills her to the bone. But she has to start again. With a small trust fund from Bryce eighteen-year-old Violet decides to set up her own shop. Cavalley’s is open for business…As the years pass, the name Violet Cavalley becomes synonymous with the finest milinery in the world. Yet with every triumph, Violet suffers a new tragedy.

Book Cover: No Ordinary Love by Anita Notaro

Posted on Friday, January 29th, 2010 by Leah

Anita Notaro’s last book was released in 2008 so there’s been quite a wait between books but she’s finally back on 1st April 2010 with her next release No Ordinary Love. I loved her first two books Behind The Scenes and Back After The Break so I’m absolutely looking forward to this book! I quite like the simple cover, too. Here’s the synopsis:

Louisa is fed up with every aspect of her life. Boyfriend, job, flat - all these need an instant and radical makeover. And so she decides to change it all in favour of a carefree existence, exchanging her house for a trailer, her car for a motorbike, and her smart clothes for leisure wear. And, most of all, she starts a new business, as a dog counsellor.

With her best friends Maddy and Clodagh she embarks on a new regime - to meet different people, discover new places and find a fabulous new man. Her business brings her immediate and extraordinary rewards, as she meets the owners of dogs whose problems often seem to echo those of their owners. But whatever the stresses of her new life, Louisa has the support of her two friends. If only that could last forever…
