REVIEW ~ Cassandra by Starlight by Susan Mac Nicol

A London woman is swept off her feet into the glamorous yet surprisingly dangerous world of an up-and-coming star of stage and screen.

 

TO CATCH A RISING STAR

 

Unconventional though she may be, Cassandra Wallace leads the life of an average Londoner, from blind dates to rush hour traffic.  Then, along comes Bennett Saville.  Charming, erudite, the up-and-coming actor is like the hero of a romantic movie.  He sets Cassie afire like he has the stage and screen, and defies the tragedy that brought them together.  From the tips of his Armani loafers to their scorching hot first kiss, he’s perfect.  Only, he’s ten years younger and from the upper class, and those emerald eyes invite dangerous secrets.  The world is full of hungry leading ladies, and every show must have its villain.  Yet a true romance will always find its happy ending.

REVIEW

This is an author I've not read before and I will probably not be interested in reading anything else by her.  It was very slow and extremely predictable.  I was quite shocked that 66% into the book (I have a kindle) it finally surprised me and for the first time wanted to actually continue reading without being frustrated and wanting to read something else.  I think the last 1/3 of the book should have been the basis of the entire book and expanded on greatly.  I would have enjoyed the book much more if it was solely based on Bennett's stalker rather than just some mildly exciting fragments in the last part of the book.

REVIEW ~ Love, Suburban Style by Wendy Markham

Fed up with her moody teenage daughter, Meg Addams decides what they both need is a good dose of suburban wholesomeness. But when they leave Manhattan behind for Meg's humble blue-collar hometown, they find it crowded with wealthy strangers and upscale boutiques. Settling into a creaky fixer-upper, Meg finally spots a familiar face right next door--and it belongs to none other than Sam Rooney. The would-be love of Meg's high school life is now a single dad, her daughter's new soccer coach--and a neighborly ghost-buster whenever things go bump in the night. With three kids and an undeniable attraction between them, Meg and Sam are in for some heart-racing, wee-hour encounters that have nothing to do with spirits...but everything to do with hearts.

REVIEW ~ Lockout (The Alpha Group Book Two) by Maya Cross

Lockout (The Alpha Group Book Two)

Who is Sebastian Lock?

Sophia had never felt attraction like that before. Raw. Electric. Irresistible. Swept off her feet by the dashing, enigmatic billionaire Sebastian Lock, she was taken on a journey of self-discovery, taken to places she never dreamed she’d go.

But things are never as simple as they appear. Sophia’s trust is a fragile thing, and Sebastian seems insistent on testing it. He has his own demons to battle, and nobody has brought them to the fore like she has.

As their relationship deepens, and Sophia begins to break down his walls, all that greets her are more questions. Why is Sebastian fighting so hard to keep her at a distance? Who is the girl on the background of his phone? And why does the strange tattoo on his chest seem so familiar?

These puzzles plague her, but as Sebastian’s mysteries begin to unravel, she must face an entirely different truth. Staying in the dark may be painful, but finding the answers could be deadly.

The Alpha Group Trilogy is intended for readers aged 18 and over.
