Hi everyone, I’ve just discovered Smashbomb and I’m so excited to speak to people who are obsessed with reading as much as I am! What is everyone’s favourite genre at the minute? I love thrillers and horror but at the minute I can’t get enough of historical fiction!

I really enjoy a great thriller! I also like romance novels and I occasionally read erotica.

This is the second book in Allen's series about the Ravenshurst cousins and I loved it! It's well written and funny and the two central characters are both endearing.

I loved the polar bear and the incident with the bathing machines - very enjoyable historical fiction with a very sexy romance!

"Chains” was my introduction into the world of historical fiction, and oh what a lovely introduction it was. Laurie Halse Anderson writes about the unbreakable bond of love between two sisters, a love that carried them through the hardships of slavery, to fight for the freedom of both themselves and America."
