Chick Lit Classics: The Sweetest Taboo by Carole Matthews

Posted By Leah on July 29th, 2010

Chick Lit Classics is a regular feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!

I am a huge fan of Carole Matthews and have read the majority of her books. In fact I only have one or two still left to read so it was inevitable one of her books would, eventually, be deemed a Chick Lit Classic and there’s many to choose from because all chick lit fans should read Carole Matthews! However the one that stands out the most to me is The Sweetest Taboo. Essentially the book is one big love triangle set in the backdrop of LA, but it’s so much more than that and I truly never knew where it was going to end. It’s a total must-read and I can’t wait until I get the chance to re-read it again!

Falling in love isn’t easy. Sadie Nelson ought to know – she’s got two men to choose from and neither one is hassle-free. First there’s Gill McGann, a Hollywood producer who’s flown her from a grey day in London to sun-soaked LA in order to win her heart. He has more to offer Sadie than she could ever have imagined… Then there’s gorgeous actor Tavis Jones, whose sense of fun makes Sadie feel immediately at home. But can they ever be more than just good friends? The longer she leaves it, the harder it gets, and Sadie’s about to discover that in LA anything can happen…

Book News: Always On My Mind by Colette Caddle

Posted By Leah on July 29th, 2010

Colette Caddle’s latest book Always On My Mind is out in Ireland (and on Amazon.co.uk) from 31st July 2010 and, according to Colette, should be out in the UK next year sometime! I really enjoy Colette’s books and this one sounds as good as ever. Here’s the synopsis:

Before 28-year-old agony aunt Molly Reynolds finally settles down and marries Declan, her boyfriend of three years, she has a six-week window of opportunity, while he is away on a business trip to Japan, to put a few of the ghosts in her past to rest.
Declan is sweet, funny and dependable, and Molly loves him to bits, but she can’t help but wonder if she still has feelings for Luke - her childhood sweetheart who left the country when they were both 21 to play for a world-class Rugby team. It’s been seven years, and Molly isn’t one to dwell on the past (well not much, anyway!) but she decides to set off to find him and see him one more time, just to make sure . . .
