rather emotional, have the tissues handy!
Tess has woken up in hospital with no recollection of how she got there, nobody is telling her anything thats happened and all she wants is to see her boyfriend and her best friend, what is the big secret why is nobody telling her anything whats gone on! shes got to sift through her memories to find out the secrets everybodys been hiding from her.

oh my gosh so many emotions through this book, so much guessing and yes i did cry! it was brilliantly written and kept you gripped from the first paragraph. Its great how when she gets her memory back its not everything is hunky dory right as rain she has the support needed to get her through the difficulties she facing. When she did get her memories back my heart sank for her i was devastated.

This is a fantastically written story with the emotional core of a rollercoaster keep some tissues handy.
a deffinate reccomendation 4/5

Magda and Bronko are sailing to Jamaica. Bronko wants to have a quiet life, however, Magda has other ideas. She wants more than just to settle down and become a wife.


This is the second instalment of the Walk the Walk series. I haven't read the first.

I found this story quite slow going, to be honest. It seemed to take a while to build up to the climax and by the time it got there, I was at the end of the book. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as I hoped. I don't know if it's because I haven't read the first book.


I do like the way the characters get to know each other through the story. You can feel the emotions and feelings becoming entwined between the 2 main characters, as well as the protectiveness of the rest of the crew. There is quite a bit of banter I found myself giggling at, so there are some fun times had.


Give it a read I hope you enjoy

The Plantagenets and Tudors are my first love in historical fiction, and I seem to be reading more Anne O’Brien books lately. I like how she tells a story from the woman’s perspective. This is a side of the story that we rarely hear from in the real history books - men wrote them, and many women weren’t encouraged to read and write (I’m very sure some did, by the way!).

I liked the way this was set out: from the letters between characters, to the fictional England’s Chronicle (which had some great sarcastic comments).

Cecile Neville, Duchess of York, was Edward IV and Richard III’s mother. She lived through some pretty turbulent times, and must have feared for her own and the lives of her children on several occasions. But she always remained true to her husband and their belief that they were the true rulers of the realm. What a time to have lived!

The emotions were so well conveyed, the historical information so well explained, and it never felt like a history lesson. Just a really great read!
