My Reading Getaway

Welcome to my stop on Rachel’s Random Tours for a new thriller! About the Book: She knows your darkest secret… Can she keep it? It’s a normal sunny day when Mia sees her ex-boyfriend on the street where she lives. But she knows that’s crazy. She knows it can’t possibly be him. She knows… because she killed him. Mia and Carrie have been best friends since school. They share everything: clothes, shoes, a home… and their secrets. Only Carrie knew what Mia did that night. Where everything went wrong and Mia’s boyfriend attacked her, so she attacked him right back. Carrie made the problem go away. Like she always would for her best friend. They’ve got on with their lives. Mia’s even met someone new – a man she thinks she could be with forever. But now it looks like her ex is back. Alive and well. So either Mia is losing her mind, or somebody very close to her has been lying… Review: This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised at all the twi...

Happy Sunday! I have a great romcom to share with you today as part of Rachel's Random Tours. About the Book: Driven and smart, Marissa Mayer has worked her way to COO at a major Fintech startup as well as launching her own successful app on the side. Now what she wants more than anything is a baby. And having given up on love after her heart was broken by the boy next door, she’s prepared to do it alone. Recently returning to New York from LA, Dr John Raikes is an expert in his field of neonatal medicine. But when John introduces himself as Marissa’s doctor, sparks fly, and not in a good way. Because Dr John Raikes is no stranger: he’s her teenage sweetheart all grown up. Marissa knows she should keep John at arm’s length, lest she have her heart broken again... But there’s something about a man in a white coat. And with John determined to show Marissa he’s changed, can she keep saying no when her heart is saying yes? A gorgeously funny enemies-to-lovers, second-chance rom...

Thank you to Rachel's Random Tours for having me on this virtual book tour. Today I have a romcom for you. About the Book: Lizzie Rose knows what she likes and likes what she knows. Her role at the London Museum is more than a job, it’s her safe place and her passion. So when Lizzie is passed over for a chance in a lifetime opportunity in favour of her ex-boyfriend and fellow Egypt nerd Friedrich Klein, her heartbreak over their relationship pales into insignificance compared to her sadness at losing the project. Best friend Colette thinks an evening of cocktails is just the medicine for a broken heart, and meeting dashing, charming, but very much ‘not her type’ Finn Bryson at the bar puts a smile on Lizzie’s face too. But Lizzie isn’t used to spending time outside of her comfortable world of academia and doesn’t believe in mixing business with pleasure. So when Finn’s job brings him to the museum, she’s determined to put an end to any notion of romance between them. But wh...

Do you love flying or do you hate it? This story opens with the main character on a plane and terrified. If you are not a fan of flying, most of the story takes place on land so you are safe :)   I'm happy to share this book with you as part of Rachel's Random Tours. I hope you enjoy! About the Book: Funny how one lie can spiral… One thing about me: I HATE flying. It’s my worst nightmare. That’s why I book seat 2A every time I fly. Since my big win, I've been booking seats 2B and 2C as well. They’re my comfort seats, they cushion the claustrophobia, and at last I can afford them. I am now determined to live the life of luxury. I deserve it, after all. How to Live Like a Millionaire is the book I’m reading on this flight. When it lands on the floor, a handsome guy hands it back to me. I know he clocks the title, because he’s totally charming and talks to me as if I’m one of the Marbella Millionaire set. When I land in sunny Spain, I’ll be acting like a millionair...

I'm excited to share an exclusive interview with Anna Blake! Enjoy and feel free to check out other tour stops by clicking on the picture below.   Interview with Anna Blake: Q. What genre do you write and why? A. I’m committed to Creative Nonfiction, the pretty term for memoir. All stories begin inside our minds with what we see and need to understand. Those are the stories I want to tell, sometimes through poetry and sometimes prose. Nothing beats real life. Undomesticated Women started as a suggestion from a friend to submit an article when the New York Times put a call out about how COVID changed the way we work. I traveled training horses, but suddenly, I was sitting in front of a computer screen training in Zoom meetings. Once the lockdown ...
