The Lucky Shamrock Carolyn Brown

Despite not being a main character in the story, I really loved Nana Irene! She's the clever lady behind everything that happens!

She forces the three cousins, Taryn, Anna Rose and Jorja to work together to look after her flower shop The Lucky Shamrock whilst she takes care of her best friend Ruby following her recent surgery. They have all got fond memories of their grandmother and the flower shop, but less so of each other so it's not without hesitation and trepidation that the three of them agree to help put. 

It gets off to a rocky start, as expected, but events in the village soon keep them all busy and they have to work together to stay on top of orders coming in. To their help the have Clinton who's been helping Irene and Ruby with deliveries - and now he is finding himself in a bit of a mediator role. 

From the clever Nana Irene and her friendship with Ruby, the village girls competing for Clinton and the many free meals, the dark pasts of the three cousins and the support they provide each other, and the need to work together, to the unexpected ending; this is an amazing story which I highly recommend. 


The book will be available in July 2023 and it's not to be missed.

Action, intrigue, and some politics mixed into another fab Jon Reznick thriller. This is the twelfth in the series but it can be read as a standalone.  This time it's Jon's go-to hacker and computer genius Trevelle that's in trouble.

Big Bad Boss: Midnight, by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

First things first: This book ends with a cliff hanger and after getting over that frustration, it leaves you wanting to hurry up the authors to publish the next one, and the one after that in this Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy. Brick, the lead male, is the stereotypical billionaire a-hole, going through assistants quicker than he changes his underwear - well, that's until Madison comes along and puts him in his place. She's bright, sassy and knows what she wants - enough money to pay her brother's tuition fees and to do some under cover research.   Big Bad Boss: Midnight is an amazingly well written and captivating shifter story mixing hotness and business; a shame it ended with a cliffhanger. It's publishing tomorrow 29 February 2024. #BigBadBoss #NetGalley
