Let the Reading Begin

With the arrival, finally, of some sun (cross fingers, don’t speak too soon...) my Summer Reading campaign has got underway…

First up are two books from New Work, Diva’s which is coming in August and perfect for everyone off on their Jollydays this Summer and Between The Sheets which came out last month, and is set to be an all year round favourite for me…

Diva’s is a back-to-basics bonk-buster, with hot hot men, hot hot sex, scandal, shopping, stripping, money… oh, all the good stuff! Lola and Evie are connected in a way they never imagined – It-Girl Lola is the daughter of an indulgent multi-millionaire who has been pampered her all her life and Ex-Pole Dancer, never-had-it-easy Evie is the mistress, holed up in a penthouse flat with her $100,000 diamond stripper pasties.

But then, shock horror, Old Man Fitzsimmons is placed in a diabetic coma and evil stepmother bitch Carin takes control of both their lives with dramatic and scandalous results….

This is a fantastic roller coaster of a read, takes absolutely no brain power at all to get through and the final chapter had me roaring with laughter….

I have two sneaky copies available for the first two eager beavers to leave a comment...

Between the Sheets is an altogether different book. Not chicklit. Not a bonkbuster. Nothing like a lot of the old claptrap that is out there right now. It’s much more women’s fiction – classy, grown up, dealing with real issues and the twist and turns of real lives.

Romantic novelist Dana De Lacey hides some tragic and devastating secrets and when the lid is lifted on them by her gorgeous architect husband Gus, her life gets turned upside down. Unable to finish her current book, and without Gus at her side, she finds relief in the bottom of a wine glass and is forced to face up to her past in a way she never thought possible…

I’m sure I must have read some of the authors previous work – and she has been compared by many to Marian Keyes so you would have thought I would remember at least one of her other books, but I don’t remember any of them… the up-side of this, is that I’ve now managed to add another five guaranteed excellent books onto my must-read-now pile.

Again, two copies are sat beside me right now, and can wing there way to you if you leave me a suitable comment...

"The Hong Kong Connection" is a legal thriller about a gutsy female attorney who takes on high ranking International officials. It's a taut, rollercoaster of a ride from New York to Palm Beach to Washington D.C. to Hong Kong. The plot is expertly woven, the characters persuasive, and the dialogue snappy and spot on.

mmm... not quite the sort of comment I was expecting, but none the less, my word is my bond - so would you like a copy of Divas or Between the Sheets?!
