Short, sweet and fun. There's a lot packed in to this heartwarming story. From long-term friendship, self-love and a beautiful relationship, all the way to conquering Everest. Following Cindi through her journey was a great experience, little things felt like I could really relate to her. She's kind and compassionate with insecurities that almost everyone has from time to time. Luckily she has her best friend Tara by her side. They make a great pair, thought the chemistry that they're both hiding makes Cindi blush up a storm!!
Two characters well written and supported by some equal fun and interesting other characters, makes for a nice cozy afternoon read. Worth having some chocolates to hand for this one.

Raj dishonoured his family by going to America to chase a woman he has fallen in love with. Will he get his happily ever after?
First off, let me say yes, I know it says it's an erotic book. It really is. It certainly made me blush in parts, as well as wanting to say aww bless as he is so innocent. It just proves how different cultures work.
I read it as if Raj was talking, as that's how it seems to be written. Not sure if it was intentional but it works. It's not a story that I would read again but I enjoyed it.

I loved this: it’s pacey, rip-roaring, the historical detail is on point and the story itself is unputdownable. The characters were fascinating, and I was cheering from the sidelines for Quinn, the Queen of Fives, even though her goal is to rip off the landed gentry (not such a bad thing, surely?!). The moral greyness of this is at peak level!
The narrator, Polly Edsel, is perfect and brings the cast of characters to life.
There’s dishonesty, family honour, independent strong women, peril, love, lies and fraud.
Highly recommended!
