Really enjoyed this book and learning about Africa and different cultures. There were some hilarious moments in the book too, especially with Dominic adjusting to a new culture. Can't believe how racist Janie's friends were towards Dominic though. I just found Nina so spiteful. If she was my ...
'Wrapped Up In You' is an easy to read, romantic chick-lit book, about a hairdresser Janie and Dominic, a Masai Warrior, she meets when she travels to Kenya for a holiday. I loved the insight into the African culture, and I wished there was more about it. I was slightly disappointed with the endi...
Finalmente ho finito i romanzi 'rosa' in offerta speciale per San Valentino gentilmente promossi da Amazon.it...Allora, questo libro è stato davvero inaspettato! Forse darei anche più di quattro stelle, è divertente ma non mancano anche i momenti tristi e commoventi, in più non è semplicemente ro...
I spent the majority of this book hating the main character! She complained about everything! I mean come on lady...get-up for an adventure! Change isn't always a bad thing!Then I had to remind myself...it's just a book!I loved how this one ended! At the risk of a **SPOILER** I will say...she...
I have read all of Carole Matthews books, I depend on her for a good chick lit when I am in the mood for one. I have to say that I was really disappointed with this one. I didn't warm to Nell, the main character, at all. The chapters didn't flow as they normally do and although chick lit is oft...
Having seen the cheery cover of Summer Daydreams I wanted to know if the confident, smart, sweet lady on the front was actually over confident and about to fall flat on her face or whether this was a woman whose dreams really have come true. I hoped for another classic Carole Matthews escapade an...
I said before that I wanted to read more of Carole Matthews and my wish was granted. A Minor Indiscretion is the second book of hers that I read, and although I didn't like/love it nearly as much as The Only Way is Up, I still enjoyed it a lot. A Minor Indiscretion occurs when Ali decides to pon ...
Carole Matthews tenth novel, Welcome to the Real World has been short listed for the 2007 Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year. A lighthearted novel filled with quick wit and totally unrealistic developments that will have you rolling your eyes and laughing at the same time. Welcome to the Real Worl...
I am a self confessed chocoholic and when looking for a new book in the library in the week how could I walk over Carole Mathews The Chocolate Lovers Club. I also saw whilst I was there The chocolate lovers diet by the same author and I wasn't sure which one to pick up. I am lucky I picked this o...

He lugs another box out of the hired van and starts to climb the stairs.‘It’ll be fine,’ I assure him. ‘It has to be.’As it turns out, we have borrowed a stonking amount of money from the bank to fund this shop. It’s a figure that has more noughts on the end than I’m happy with. But what can I do...
‘We’re very sorry.’ She touches my arm. Why do people do that to widows? It doesn’t make them feel any better, trust me. ‘Thank you. That’s why I’m going back to London. We had such big plans for this house,’ I say. ‘It would have made a lovely family home.’ She’s a publisher and he’s a lawyer up...
Where could she go? Where could she hide? Tyler would come after her, she was sure. Well, she didn’t want to see him, didn’t want to hear the honeyed words, the ridiculous explanation that would pour from his mouth. He was so well practised in the profuse apology that it meant nothing any more. S...
The snow was getting heavier, and his thoughts turned again to Lisa and Izzy. What if they hadn’t been able to get out for a few days? What if they had no shopping in? What if their bastard landlord still hadn’t fixed the boiler? &...
I’ve eaten the chocolate that was on my pillow. Not bad. Not great. A fairly poor quality chocolate, in fact, considering that it could absolutely be my last chocolate as a single woman. I should have brought a stash from Chocolate Heaven to keep me going. That’s a severe oversight on my part and...
