MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW

Cosy, charming, and full of festive feels!

Sue Roberts delivers a heartwarming second-chance romance set in a snow-dusted village you’ll never want to leave. Ruby and Nathan’s slow-burn love story is filled with gingerbread, nostalgia, and just the right amount of holiday magic. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain.

Sue Roberts delivers another heartwarming festive treat with Home for This Christmas, a charming second-chance romance that wraps you up like your favourite woollen blanket and doesn’t let go until the final snowflake falls.

The story follows Ruby, a talented London chef who reluctantly returns to her quaint hometown to judge a charity gingerbread competition – only to find herself face-to-face with Nathan, her brooding childhood sweetheart. What starts as an awkward reunion soon turns into something far more compelling as shared memories, snowy mishaps, and gingerbread-fuelled encounters rekindle old sparks.

Roberts beautifully captures the nostalgic pull of home during the holidays – from cosy libraries and village carol singers to unexpected snowstorms that force characters to stop, reflect, and reconnect. The festive setting is almost a character in itself, filled with twinkling lights, heartwarming community spirit, and just the right amount of small-town mischief.

What really makes the story shine is its slow-burn romance. Ruby and Nathan’s chemistry is sweet but subtle, rooted in shared history and grown-up yearning rather than grand gestures. Roberts avoids overly dramatic tropes, instead opting for emotional realism – the weight of past choices, the tension between ambition and belonging, and the quiet ache of "what if?"

Though some plot points may feel predictable (it is a Christmas romance, after all), the journey is no less enjoyable for it. Ruby is a relatable protagonist – driven, loyal, and a little lost – while Nathan brings just enough broody charm to keep readers invested in their will-they-won’t-they dynamic.

If you’re looking for a feel-good story about rediscovering love, the meaning of home, and the quiet magic of Christmas, Home for This Christmas will be the perfect addition to your winter reading list. A must-read for fans of Sarah Morgan and Heidi Swain, it’s as comforting as a mug of hot cocoa on a snowy evening.

She always assumed that ‘one day’ she would write a book, always having a busy household and a job, the idea remained firmly on the back burner but never forgotten.

BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

  MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...

BOOK ON TOUR #SWIPE #CRIME #PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER #RG BELSKY #BONNIE TRAYMORE #REVIEW #SUSPENSE THRILLER

MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW  RG Belsky and Bonnie Traymore in their new novel SWIPE has put together all the troubles those dating apps or online dating can bring. Especially to anyone looking for love in the wrong places. This story has looked in depth at the unsuspected danger, risk, threat and guilt that comes to married people who think it's casual or normal that they can cheat their spouses behind their back. It's very evident that they are lonely, desperate or unhappy in their lives or relationships.  Jake, a Journalist at New York Banner is hellbent to prove the mysterious death of Matt Furman. Matt a hiker and a married man who dated women online behind his wife and children's back ended up falling down accidently to the Hudson river. Was Matt's death a tragic accident or murder? The irony is that Matt was dating Sonya online. Sonya disliked Matt at their first encounter at the Palisade trail. Jake who covers stories desires to know why Matt committed infidelity...
