Posted By Chloe on July 23rd, 2010

Judd Harrington is back in England to cause a stir, and he’s intent on succeeding. He brings along his wife Kitty who is petrified of Judd and his awful temper and his 2 sons, Elliot and Sebastian. None of Judd’s family actually like him but live in fear of him. Ace, his third son, is the only one who is still in America and is still being controlled by him.

Life for Judd’s arch-enemy Lochlin isn’t going too well either. His record company Shamrock is struggling against the newly formed Jett Corporation, run by none other than Judd. His relationship with his wife Tavvy and son Shay has seen better days, and he’s trying to stall his talented singing daughter Iris from joining the ruthless showbiz world.

Judd, however, has other plans. He’s determined to sign Iris to his record label, and uses his son Ace to get her despite what Ace wants. Judd wants to make Lochlin suffer, and at any cost - he wants to ruin the Maguire family once and for all. Will the ruthless Judd Harrington succeed in destroying Lochlin and his family?

Book Cover: Second Hand Heart by Catherine Ryan Hyde

Last year I got the chance to read When I Found You by Catherine Ryan Hyde. When it arrived in my mailbox I wasn’t 100% sure I would like it but I found that when I got around to reading it, I absolutely loved it. So it’s safe to say I was pleased when Catherine announced she had signed a new deal with Transworld and her next release would be called Second Hand Heart. It’s due out on September 2nd and I cannot wait for it’s release. The cover has been released and I love it, too. Here’s the synopsis:

One girl: Vida is nineteen, very sick, and has spent her short life preparing for death. But a new chance brings its own story, because for Vida to live, someone had to die.

One man: Richard has just lost his beloved wife in a car accident. He hasn’t even begun to address his grief, but feels compelled to meet the girl who inherited his wife’s heart.

Someone else’s heart: In hospital Vida sees Richard and immediately falls in love. Of course he dismisses her as a foolish child. But is she? Can two people be bound by a second hand heart?
