Posted By Leah on March 22nd, 2010

Lulu Godwin has just met who she believes to be her Mr Right in Charles Adamson. The thing is Charles has a wife and kids. So what should Lulu do about it: tell herself that nothing can happen and do everything she can to keep out of his way or should she just give in to her feelings for him and let the chips fall where they may?

Of course nothing is that simple and when Lulu and Charles end up on location together for an entire week all bets are off. Lulu longs to confide in her twin sister Alice but she’s too busy with her new boyfriend, Richard. Will Lulu ride off into the sunset with Charles or could there be someone else on the horizon who can give her all that she wants?

Book Cover: The Truth About You by Melissa Hill

Posted By Chloe on March 22nd, 2010

Always eagerly awaited by me are the release of Melissa Hill’s novels because they are simply brilliant! Her next book, The Truth About You, is due out on May 27th, and the gorgeous cover was released exclusively in Melissa’s newsletter. In another bit of exciting Melissa news, we want to pass on our congratulations to Melissa and her husband who recently discovered they are expecting their first child next month! Here’s the synopss of The Truth About You:

“One morning in the small town of Lakeview, Ella Harris finds a cardboard box on the doorstop of her café. At first she thinks it’s her usual muffin delivery but is shocked to find that the box actually contains a newborn baby.

But what kind of mother would abandon a defenceless baby like that, and why?

Could it have been newly single Nina who, after being rejected by the father of her unborn child, has no choice but to return to Lakeview to stay with her estranged (and slightly peculiar) dad?

Or was it Lakeview-born Hollywood actress Eva Seymour, who on the eve of her triumphant return home from LA, has a completely ill-advised fling with a handsome co-star. A baby is certain to ruin her hard-fought-for career.

Or perhaps it’s happily married Jess who, as the only non-mum amongst her friends, finds herself increasingly left out. Terrified that she will lose them altogether, she embarks on becoming a mother too. But is she really rushing into something she really knows nothing about?”

Book Review: The Ice-Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson

After the murder of teacher Marcus Halnsley, Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe find themselves suddenly in the glare of the worlds’ media. Poppy ends up convicted of the crime and gets life in prison whereas Serena gets to walk free. Years later Poppy gets released from prison and is determined to clear her name and get Serena to confess to killing Marcus.

Serena, however, wants to keep the past firmly where it is: in the past as she never actually got around to telling her husband Evan about the entire debacle. Which girl will win out? Will Poppy finally be able to clear her name and prove her innocence or will Serena manage to keep everything buried back in the 80’s? The most important question of all though is who exactly did kill Marcus Halnsley?
