Fraught with danger and romance, the plot line is full of surprises. Truly an unpredictable read coupled with the thrill of danger and the sweetness of blossoming romance.
- Girls of Gabe's Place 3: Robyn
on March 27, 2012

Amazing book! I absolutely loved the characters, they made me laugh, the made me cry, it was wonderful!
- Escape
on May 07, 2012
The characters were very well written. The plotline could have been expanded on some more. It has quite a few grammatical errors. However even with the grammar issues it is a very interesting read.
- Kidnapped the Wrong Sister
on May 07, 2012
Absolutely brilliant read! It keeps you interested right until the end with the twists in the storyline, the great sense of humour and the sheer arrogance of the characters with the attitude that older siblings know best!
- The Beauty Bride
on May 14, 2012
I absolutely loved this story! It's so sweet and well written! I love how fiesty Madeline was and how adorable Rhys was in turn. The twists and turns were so exhilarating. I loved the mix of action and romance in a historical story. I would gladly re-read this novel multiple times.
- Safari Moon
on May 21, 2012
I loved the plotline, one of those typical novels where you're yelling at the characters because you know they love each other but they're too blind to realise it themselves.
This was a very well written story, with some eccentric characters and a female who knows what she wants but is too afraid to go after it.
I hope to read more from this author. Photography has never seemed so sexy before now!
- Return to You
on May 21, 2012
Absolutely loved it!
You start feeling like you know what's going on but then the plot thickens. I love the twists and turns.
This is more than just a common love story between two characters there's multiple love stories happening at the same time.
The characters were so well written, they really came off the page and came to life, Olivia is a very believable character with a lot of inner strength and Michael is the typical male with no clue what he's doing and why.
This book made me laugh, cry and go all goo-ey on the inside.
I couldn't stop reading and at the end I wish it just kept going.
- The Mystic Wolves
on May 28, 2012
I absolutely loved the characters. The storyline reduced me to tears and I never saw the twists in the story coming.
Such a well written novel with an amazing storyline with incredible characters.
I loved how cheeky Darcy was and the incredible vulnerability that the Alph showed to the woman he loved.
- The Summerland
on Oct. 03, 2012
This was an excellent read. I can normally pick the identity of the killer from the start but this book was a pleasant surprise, with twists and turns I never saw coming. Altogether it was an extremely well written story.
- The Bad Luck Wedding Dress, Bad Luck Wedding #1
on Oct. 25, 2012
I absolutely loved this book, it had great suspense and twists in the plotline that I had never seen coming!
The daughters were so cute and totally reminded me of my own sisters.
Trace and Jenny are riddled with constant misunderstandings and both feel vulnerable but they find their own way to love one another.
It's a great story about family.
- Love, Lies and High Heels
on Oct. 25, 2012
This book touched my heart, a father who is afraid his daughter will leave him, a man who is hurting over his past and a woman who needs to learn that money and fashionable clothes aren't the only thing to life.
Such a sweet story, with real emotion.
- Bewitching You
on Oct. 25, 2012
Loved the idea of Mr Right being just around the corner and knowing he's there.
- Wedgewick Woman
on March 25, 2013
I loved this story, the twists and turns, the characterisation. It made me yearn for more after they finally got married.
- Twice Tempted (Holland Springs Series ~ Book 1)
on April 10, 2013
I loved the plot line and the tension between the characters, it made you want to yell at them to get their heads on straight and realise what they have.
I loved the characterisation and how easy it was to relate to each of the characters!
- The Daddy Pact
on April 11, 2013
Even though this piece was riddled with typos it was still easy to read. The characterisation was brilliant and the beginning few chapters were so emotive that it felt natural to relate to Jess and her emotions.
I found it interesting to constantly be bouncing between characters but not in the usual literary way of third person, the author clearly chose one character's view to portray at a time, which ingrained the reader further into the novel.
- The Game
on April 25, 2013
There was great tension between the two main characters and even with Damon's character flaws, I still felt myself crushing on him. The only problem I had was with the ending, it felt a bit rushed and I wish there was more about them after they both decided to make a go of it.
- His Property - Season One
on May 20, 2013
I really liked the concept of the plot line, however the characters need further development especially Stephan. I don't think there's a single 'meaningful' or insightful conversation about him. And I felt like Lorraine's reactions were not exactly realistic or authentic.
There's moments in the piece where it would have been better if the scene was shown not told, instead of telling the reader that they're talking about fluff and stuff, show them by using conversation. I did find this piece was distinctly lacking in speech and conversation between characters.
Altogether it was very well written with no grammatical issues and a very intriguing plot line.
- Back in the Saddle (Jessica Brodie Diaries, Book 1)
on May 22, 2013
An interesting story however there were many homophone issues throughout the story.
I enjoy strong female characters who don't let a man rule her life, so I was really frustrated when the main female character repeatedly swooned whenever she saw Blake.
Altogether the dialogue was witty and intriguing yet it was too frustrating waiting for Blake to get his head out of his hoity-toity a** and admit hid feelings.
- The Passionate Greek
on May 22, 2013
As a fan of Harlequin-ish novels, I can say that I enjoyed it. I understand that some people do not have the same appreciation for corny lines and dramatic events that I do.
I adored the drastic Melanie, her enthusiasm for mischief made me giggle with glee. She's a very loveable, strong female with a moral compass.
This book was so well written, it was an absolute pleasure to read.
