So I became a fan of Barbara's when I read Strangers. I looked on goodreads and saw this one, the cover was similar to Strangers and so I figured I would give this a try and see what it's all about. I read some of the reviews and was instantly intrigued. I decided this was going to be a good one....
The first part of this book isn't an easy read. It's....well in places it's horrible. It made my chest ache. Poor Tyler. I felt for that kid I really did. He successfully backed himself into a corner and it was heartbreaking. Haris pissed me off slightly, especially with his trust issues, but I g...
I loved this book! It was emotional with wonderful characters and an actual plot and everything. It certainly doesn't hurt that the heroine got to be in a hot man sandwich with two guys who also like each other. Where can I get me some of that? :DI want to hear more about these characters!On a si...

3.5 stars. What a great personality this writer has. A fun and cute story...and v funny, which is why it gets the extra half. Obviously it's going to stretch the realms of what is believable in terms of relationship development, but I think you have to accept this when you are reading shorts...
Before yesterday, I had never heard of an author by the name of Barbara Elsborg. In 24 hours, I've read TWO of her books. I have no shame. This book is about love...unrequited, love lost, conditional love, love unconditionally, forbidden love, blinded love, displaced love, and heartbreak.I hate w...
Another book in the Naughty Nooners series, Barbara Elsborg's "The Bad Widow" is a story that almost appears to be set in the days of the Salem Witch Trials of the 17th century. This is the story of Rose who meets up with Will who saves her from 2 of the local town thugs. They make passionate lov...
I want to give this book 4 stars, but just can't. The writing was good, I liked the plot, it was very interesting and quite amusing! However, it was so sappy at the end I nearly gagged, and the love conquers all shit was just tooo fucking much. It was too hokey, too prevalent, too blatant, too fu...
Charlie thought it was more like slipping into periods of unconscious exhaustion. He was relieved to find they were back in bed and not on the floor but he ached. He had his arm wrapped around Kate, his leg between hers, her back pressed against his chest.“Oh God,” Charlie groaned.“Are we still a...
He’d taken out his sorrow and anger on the horse when it wasn’t the animal’s fault Peter was dead. But when he’d walked into the stable and seen Aden about to ride Captain, he’d felt his stomach fall into a deep hole. He also hadn’t missed the way Shadow’s owner had been ogling Aden. ...
What Baxter didn’t know was that Tye intended to change places with him. Tye had given Liam little smiles when Baxter couldn’t see. Liam liked him best. He licked his lips when he looked at Tye. He didn’t when he looked at Baxter. Once Liam agreed to them having a shower, ...
Well, she knew exactly how. When Kirsten told her Willow wanted her to come on the hen night to make up for not believing her about Giles and Henry, Flick had wavered. When Kirsten said Beck would drive them in the minivan and that he felt terrible because he hadn’t trusted her, the wavering slow...
Ellie repeated the word as she walked down the drive. Disappointment sat on one shoulder like an overweight devil, while the angel on the other left her in the lurch. She’d wanted the jewels to be the Kewen, and they weren’t. She suspected Jago had tipped out the bag to check she hadn...
Nothing or a dress? Not brave enough for the former, she wriggled into her little blue sundress and put on her strappy sandals. As she stood in front of the mirror, she practiced her smile. Not bad. After she’d scared herself stupid with the folder, she’d discovered a private patio at the back of...
He was reluctant to approach those who lived at the farm for help and possibly lose Inigo’s sanctuary. Better that he moved as far away from here as he could, though he still wasn’t giving the vampire much chance of survival. Without a way back to the other side, he was stuck. They were both stuc...
Oh God. Who knew Land Rovers were so powerful and walls so thin? And that grown men could be so attached to sporting equipment? Good thing that she and her father were close. He eventually forgave her. Afterward, when anyone in the family had a bad day, someone managed to bring up that day to top...
A man behind almost bumped into her. “Sorry,” she said to his back as he tsked his way past to the cashier she’d been heading for. Stupid, stupid, stupid. She pushed the paying-in slip and cash deep into her purse and walked out again. If she was right and the women were call girls, did she reall...
“Where are the bags?” “I’ve taken the liberty of putting them upstairs,” Michaels said. “I’ll hang your coats in the drying room.” “Where’s that?” Archer asked. “Down the corridor, second on the left.” ...
He had a different footfall to Conrad. No point wasting time arguing, trying to make him go back. “I’ll cover the back door,” Archer whispered. “Stay up here. Watch the front door.” “Don’t kill unless you have to. We need evidence against Kinsale—if...
She opened the outer door, pushed open the next and froze in her tracks. The hanging fabric screen that divided the room had been shredded into ragged strips that dangled from the ceiling like the broken wings of giant moths. Jagged fragments of glass from broken lights co...
