BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES is the third book in the Second Chances series and we finally get all the details on the two squabbling children who have made their feelings towards each other known in the previous two stories!

We all know it's a case of forbidden attraction between Wolf and Spencer, but here, we actually find out their childhood backstories as well more recent happenings between them.

Now, Spencer hasn't been my favourite 'friend' in this series, but I was pleasantly surprised by how relatable he is in this. He and Wolf have similar backgrounds in some ways, but whereas one goes one way, the other goes another. Make sense? It will do, trust me.

This is a slow burn - after all, it's been years since they were at college together - but hold onto your hats, because when it gets on, IT GETS ON!!!

A great ending to the series with an added bonus scene (if you can get it - my Paperwhite didn't like it for some reason, so I can't comment on specifics). A fun read with lots of emotions covering a multitude of events, this is absolutely recommended by me.

HEART OF A WOLF is the first book in the Viking Wolves series. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next book.

In this one, Kieran is visiting Iceland with his friend, Amanda, after finding his boyfriend cheating. After being given a beautiful carved wolf statue, he is whisked away to another time, where werewolves and fated mates are real. Will Kieran stay with Wulfric or will he return to his own time?

Paranormal and fated mates? We're talking insta-love then, right? Wrong! Wulfric feels a pull to Kieran but it's not insta-love and I loved that! As for Kieran, well, he's just a pathetic human so he won't have any idea anyway. These two together were amazing. I loved how Wulfric did small things for Kieran without making a big fuss, including cooking and training.

The inclusion of Norse mythology made this a great read, and I loved how the wood of Yggdrasil was used. This story had a multitude of characters I want to know more about and I'm really looking forward to the next book.

A great read and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.

I received an Arc Copy for an open and honest review.
I loved this book, I am a huge supernatural fan.... My favourite type.....werewolves and this did not disappoint. It kept me intrigued, it kept me in suspense and wanting more!
I love Nate and the kids of Tether and the unique situation they are in and also I love how Nessa evolves and matures right before your eyes.
Also the way the Wolf family was written really made you think you were they, playing with pups and singing with them and gives you a little sneak peak into the wolves pack dynamics.
Just could not get enough of this book and really hope there is a sequel :)

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!!!

All baking recipes are themed on Game of Thrones with an artistic or puntastic edge to them.

From Hot Pie’s Wolfbread (a basic wholemeal bread, shaped into a wolf like he did on the show) and Sansa’s Lemon Cakes to a Red (velvet) Wedding Cake (3 tier cake with ‘blood’ pouring down the side) and the one I really REALLY wanna try myself Oberyn’s Smashing Surprise (long story short a decorated chocolate shell filled with red jelly so you can re-enact the scene and squish it open with your fingers, just like The Mountain did to Oberyn’s skull, mwahahahahaaa).

Oh yes, I shall be making a few of these recipes.
