Molly Greene loves being married to her husband Dan, and thinks that the pair of them have a pretty perfect life. They both have good jobs, a nice house, and are both still very much in love. However, when Molly finds one of her ex-boyfriends on Facebook, she can’t resist sending him a little message to say hi. She doesn’t realise though that it is going to set off a chain of events which just might ruin everything Molly has ever worked for, and might push her beloved Dan away for good. Molly knows she has made a huge mistake contacting him again, but she can’t take it back, so what is she going to do? Hide it from Dan and hope it never gets out, or tell him the truth and face up to the fact he might leave her forever? And what happens when Molly can’t shake him off? How far will he go to get Molly back for good?

Goodnight, Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson was released in the USA last week and has had a slight cover change from the UK one. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. I think the US cover looks far more grown up and serious. I’m not a huge fan of Dorothy’s UK covers. They’re OK, but they could be better and I think the US cover proves that. So which one do you prefer?

Nova Kumalisi would do anything for her closest friend, Mal Wacken. She owes him her life. So, when he asked her to be the surrogate mother for him and his wife, in spite of her fears about how it would alter their friendship, Nova agreed. Eight years later, Nova is bringing up their son alone, and she and Mal don’t speak. Months into the pregnancy, Mal’s wife changed her mind about the surrogacy agreement. Already suspicious of how close Nova and Mal were, Stephanie realised her strained marriage was in serious trouble when she found a text from her husband to Nova, saying, ‘Goodnight, Beautiful’. She asked Mal to cut all ties with his closest friend and unborn child. Now, seven-year-old Leo is critically ill and Nova, despite her anger and hurt, wants Mal to have the chance to know his son before it’s too late. Will it take a tragedy to remind them how much they mean to each other?

A.M Goldsher’s fourth Little Black Dress novel No Ordinary Girl is due out on 25th November, and it sounds like quite a unique novel! I’ve never read a Chick Lit novel that features a super-heroine before and the concept really intrigues me and I can’t wait to see if A.M Goldsher can pull it off. Here’s the synopsis:

Abbey Bynum never asked for her strange superpowers; she was born with them and man, does she hate them. Only a few family members and her ex-fiancé, the uptight government bureaucrat Murphy Napier, know her secret. But when supervillain Jon Carson appears on the scene under the guise of a brilliant new defence lawyer at her work, Abbey knows she must embrace her ‘weird stuff’ to have any chance of thwarting his plans for world domination. There’s only one person who can assist her: Murphy. He’s had a complete makeover since their split two years ago, but can he help Abbey triumph in her epic superbattle of good versus evil, winning back her trust and her heart in the process?
