Book Review: Breaking The Silence by Diane Chamberlain

Posted By Leah on January 7th, 2011

Laura Brandon’s promise to her dying father was simple: to visit an elderly woman she’d never heard him speak of before. A woman who remembers nothing - except the distant past. Visiting Sarah Tolley seemed a small enough sacrifice to make. But Laura’s promise results in another death - her husband’s. And after their five-year-old daughter, Emma, witnesses her father’s suicide, Emma refuses to talk about it…or to talk at all. Frantic and guilt-ridden, Laura contacts the only person who may be able to help, a man she’s met only once before - a man who doesn’t know he’s Emma’s real father. Guided only by a child’s silence and an old woman’s fading memories, the two unravel a tale of love and despair, bravery and unspeakable evil. This is a tale that links them all. It is a tale shrouded in silence…

Cover Wars: Temptation by Olivia Darling

Posted By Chloe on January 7th, 2011

Olivia Darling’s third novel Temptation was due to be released last year (2010) but has been pushed back to 9th June 2011, which is a pain for her fans but I hope it’s going to be worth the wait as I love her books! The book has also had a cover redesign - I much prefer the new version (left) to the older dark version (right). Which do you like? Here’s the synopsis:

“International singing star Cosima has it all. Talent, fame and a super-sized overdraft. Will the promise of a big pay-day tempt her to embark on a six week tour where she’ll be forced to share the stage with her ex-husband, the only man who ever broke her heart?

For the past five years, high-flying banker Juliet has been sleeping with her married boss. She thinks it’s love, but when his empty promises are revealed, will she be tempted to risk her life to use a dangerous secret against him?

Mercy is struggling to make ends meet as an office cleaner while longing to follow in Cosima’s footsteps and make it big as a singer. Will she be tempted to break the law to take the first step towards her dream?

Three very different women set their worlds on a collision course when they give in to their desires.”
