Sing for me by Tam DeRudder Jackson

Posted

Title: Sing for me - #2 Balefire series
Author: Tam DeRudder Jackson

This fantastic rockstar meets girl next door (literally!) romance story is fast paced, believable and engaging. Tam DeRudder Jackson has used the perceived stereotype of rockstars to great effect and created a very worthy second book in the Balefire series. 

Ashleigh loves the garden at her rental place and she has negotiated a reduction in her rent in exchange for maintaining it. When she's not gardening she is working as a substitute teacher or writing concert reviews for a local paper. She fast becomes friends with her neighbour Diane who loves having Ashleigh around and they regularly eat together whilst making small talk. 

Blu is the lead singer in the famous band Balefire and after a gruelling first leg of their world tour, he returns home to spend some time with his mother before hitting the road again. He's never liked the neighbours so he makes sure his arrival on his Harley Davidson is as noisy as possible, only this time it's Ashleigh who wakes up!

Ashleigh takes him for the obnoxious self-centred rock star the media has made him out to be and cannot understand how her lovely neighbour can be his mother. Ashleigh goes to great efforts to avoid Blu, but Blu will have nothing of it. 

A lovely story with a happy ending, and a teaser for book #3 which seems to be focusing on Dakota. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Warrior Romance Press (IBPA) for allowing me to read this eARC. The book is released on 26 August 2021.

More Than Just Mum by Rebecca Smith

Posted
I'll happily pay for a 'mum breakdown service' Title: More Than Just Mum  (More Than Just Mum, Book 1) Author: Rebecca Smith In the reviews by others, this book is described as an "absolutely hilarious, laugh out loud novel of family chaos and reinvention". I wasn't that enamoured with it. Sure, it made me smile from time to time, but it wasn't incredible.  Hannah is the mum of Dylan, Scarlet and Benji. She's tired of being 'the mum of...'. and she's longingly looking back at a time when she was Hannah, not the MUM. She decides she needs to find a job she loves and earn a lot of money.  To earn lots of money she decides she should become a writer, because they apparently all earn a lot of dosh. She has a particular niche in mind...  "... might ask for advice about how to handle being forty-three years old, permanently strapped for cash and doing a job I hate while trying to deal with three exhausting kids. That’s the kind of breakdown ...

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley by Rosie Clarke

Posted
Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley is the latest instalment in the gritty, historical saga series set in London's East End in 1924.  It builds on the first book in the series "Dangerous Times on Dressmakers' Alley" with many of the characters returning and coming further to life.  The girls are enjoying their work at Miss Susie's, the dressmaker's run by a former maid. Recently there has been a series of women being attached and robbed, even in broad daylight.  The Police seem too busy (and somewhat incompetent) so the men of the Dressmakers' Alley create a rota to keep an eye on the area and to keep their wives, girlfriends and sisters safe. The story felt a bit darker than the previous one, and some of the novelty from the first book was now just part of the back story (a Lady designing dresses, a former maid running a business, the Women's Movement, etc).    Dark Secrets on Dressmakers Alley by Rosie Clarke is available on 29 October 2024.
