Emma's Element by Amanda Zook

Don't believe everything that's written in the press, especially not if it's about superstars with headline grabbing and sensational font all over the internet. Marcus is one of these celebrities who's constantly chased by the paparazzis, hardly able to even go for a short walk without being hassled. He is most happy when he manages to escape the hustle and bustle and go hiking on his own. During one of these events he has an accident and needs rescuing by the Nighthawks, a search and rescue team of volunteers.

Impressed with their professionalism and skills, Marcus arranges to be trained by them in preparation for a new film he's planning, and their best coach Emma is assigned to him. She couldn't care less for the superstar and tries to wriggle out of the assignment, but reluctantly agrees.

Working together, Emma and Marcus start to develop a mutual respect and Marcus slowly becomes one of the Nighthawk team. Public life is full of challenges and being the super start Marcus is, he gets more than his fair share of it. He tries to shield Emma from it all, including walking away from her.

This is the third book in the Nighthawk Search and Rescue series, but if you like me haven't read the previous two books you can still happily read it and thoroughly enjoy it! PS. There's a fourth book in the series, and all are available on Kindle Unlimited when I write this review.

The Harbour Lights Mystery by Emylia Hall

Lovely, laid back off-season Cornwall is the scene for The Harbour Lights Mystery written by Emylia Hall. It's the second book about the Shell House Detectives, but you can read it standalone (although you may like it as much as I did and read the first book in the series afterwards!). December in Cornwall and there are probably more locals than tourists attending when the famous Christmas lights are turned on in Mousehole harbour. Ally, one half of the Shell House Detectives, is watching the lights with her friend Gus and she's worrying that he may be after more than friendship. Anything that was about to be said is abruptly stopped when there is a piercing scream ripping through the darkness. Joining the crowds, Ally finds out that someone has been brutally murdered and dumped in a fisherman’s boat. It turns out that the victim is the not so very popular chef JP Sharpe, but what has Ally and her detective partner intrigued is an unfinished letter found in Sharpe's coat p...

The Social Distance Between Us / Hostile Environments by Darren McGarvey

This book seems to have two different titles: 'Hostile Environments' and ' The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain' This is a MUST read!! A real eye opener and a perfect book to base important discussions on. Yes, the book contains views belonging to certain political camps, but the painstakingly detailed research that has gone into creating this book including a huge number of real life examples make Darren McGarvey and his book forces to be reckoned with. Politicians, policy makers and those who want to, or more importantly can , influence decision making in Britain, should make it a priority to read this book. The book extensively discusses how proximity is one of the biggest reasons for failure in most of the political system used in Britain today. The lack of actual lived experience of policy makers in Whitehall and the devolved nations, make policies fail miserably; in many cases not by ill-intent, but because the policy makers just c...

The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda E Brunstetter

This is not your typical quilting club! Title: The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club Author: Wanda E Brunstetter Quick and easy read with some heartwarming sections; all in all a feel-good, easy read. Emma (an Amish widow) decides to start a quilting club to earn some extra money to support herself, rather than getting re-married or relying on her children to take care of her.
