SOMETIMES SIZE DOES MATTER
Belinda Gordon thought she had it all—a great job, wonderful friends, a home of her own. She’s even come to love her voluptuous body. But she still can’t shake the feeling that something is missing. And then Carter Lancaster, aka Her Biggest Mistake, shows up in town, as irresistible as ever, and shakes up her entire world.
WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE
Carter never expected to find Belinda in town, looking as delicious as the day he married her five years ago—before she walked out on him after six weeks and a painful misunderstanding that included his baby daughter, Ruby. A quick divorce is the sensible option—but Carter can’t let Belinda go now, not when he can see the family they could be. Love may be a curveball, but this time he’s going to prove to Belinda that he can hit it out of the park…

It took some convincing for Elle to come away on this
singles' holiday and now her MD has turned up! As the matchmaking
activities begin, from blindfolded wine tasting to crushing grapes
barefoot, Elle tries her best to enjoy herself but it's not easy with
her boss around. Nor is it that easy when she's being set up with every
man on the holiday. All in all, this isn't turning out to be the fun
break Elle was hoping for. Thank goodness for Jamie, the vineyard
owners' son - he's exactly the kind of company Elle needs right now
because he's not interested in finding a partner either. So what if
Jamie is delicious to look at and his dad thinks they're perfect for
each other? They're just friends. Nothing more. And that's all there is
to it . . .
I’m very happy to welcome you on my blog! You can please introduce yourself to my readers.
I am Em, and I am a book blogger, a part time geek and lover of tea and lipstick :)
Where do we find your blog and how long have you been blogging / reviewing?
I blog over at
www.afternoonbookery.blogspot.com and I have been blogging over a year now. I used to be a beauty blogger, but I found my true calling in book blogging!
How do you overcome a reading slump?
I read something I really
want to read, or I take a clean break for a few days. Sometimes it's
because I have read a brilliant book and nothing compares so I tend to
give myself time to recover from the said book.
Do you have a certain 'style' when it comes to organizing your books eg alphabetical, best-worst?
No, my shelves are just split into to read, and read at the moment I hope to get them organised at some point.
It's my pleasure today to welcom Zara Stoneley on my blog. She recently releaed her first novel with Harper Impulse (August 14th 2014). Find out more about her book Stable Mates and how she found her inspiration for the novel.
Secrets and scandals, love and lust – when the ‘Cheshire Set’ are up against the ‘Footballer’s Wives’ the only common ground is carnal…
Flirting and fun seem the perfect antidote for Lottie's battered heart, and where better to find them than back in tranquil Tippermere, home of sexy eventer Rory Steel, the smiling Irish eyes of hunky farrier Mick O'Neal, and mysterious newcomer, model Tom Strachan?
But when landowner Marcus James drops dead unexpectedly, and the threat of his waggish wife Amanda selling the heart of the village out from under them looms large, things look like they're about to heat up in and out of the saddle.
With tensions running high, and the champagne flowing as freely as the adrenalin, is it any wonder that love catches more than one of them unawares?

Top Ten Authors I’ve Read Only One

It's been a long time since I published my last Top Ten List... Since I started my own blog last year in December I've been lucky enough to have been introduced to many new authors I have never heard of before. This week's top 10 focuses on authors I've only read one book from but I'm definitely curious to check out more of their work.

Recent college graduate
Avery Andrews is ready to begin a new life in the big city. She’s landed
an apartment in Chicago’s famed Lincoln Park neighborhood–and has her
eye on the cute commodities trader just a floor above.
If Premier
Airlines knew about her fear of flying, they never would have hired her
to be their marketing assistant - but it’s not like Avery wants a
lifelong career. Right now she simply wants a job to pay her bills…and
fund a few little shopping excursions, too.
Her new lifestyle
comes with a price tag, as Avery is not only faced with paying a
ridiculous rent but finds she’s perceived as one of the vacant,
husband-hunting fashionistas who live in the area. Avery resents this
stereotype—so she doesn’t want a lifelong career, and she loves fashions
she can’t afford, but that doesn’t mean she is empty-headed and
spoiled, does it?
When an opportunity to
participate in a documentary at work arises, Avery finds a two-fold
solution to her problems. She’ll earn extra money for it, and the
documentary will show her as a serious career woman, enabling her to
shed that husband-hunting fashionista label for good.
When the
camera is on, Avery attempts to be a motivated professional woman. But
when she is challenged by Deacon Ryan, the videographer assigned to
cover her story, Avery finds herself wanting things she was never
supposed to want—like a lasting career—and Deacon. And Avery might just
gain more from the experience than a perfect career image and extra cash
to put in her Tory Burch wallet…
