Author: T. A. Williams

Series: What Happens in… (standalone)

Release Date: July 11, 2106

Genres: Chick Lit

Publisher: HarperCollins/Carina UK

Summary

For the perfect summer romance…

It’s finally time for Natalie Dryden to decide what she really wants! After ditching her sparkling engagement ring, and her ghastly fiancé, she jets off for the sun-kissed shores of Southern France – the only place that has ever truly felt like home. For the first time ever, Natalie is determined to forget all about men and follow her dreams!

…head to the French coast!

Only, avoiding the male population isn’t quite so easy, especially when she meets smooth-talking Philippe and gorgeous fisherman, Remy! But then Natalie, quite literally, bumps into brooding millionaire Mark whilst swimming in the glittering azure-blue bay – and her life is turned upside-down.

Love might be off the cards for Natalie, yet suddenly she finds herself in her dream job and working with her dream man! But is it all too good to be true…?

Review: Yet another "What Happens In" novel set in an amazing location. This time, we get to visit the beaches of Southern France where Natalie is recovering from her broken engagement. She meets several interesting men, and there is one she just can't seem to get off her mind.

Enjoyed getting to know Natalie--and her 90 yr. old grandmother is a favorite character of mine. She is like a surrogate mother to Natalie, and provides her with a voice of reason, trying to steer her in the right direction.

If you are a fan of romance, this is the series for you!

Author Biography

Firstly, my name isn't T A. It's Trevor. I write under the androgynous name T A Williams because 65% of books are read by women. In my first book, "Dirty Minds" one of the (female) characters suggests the imbalance is due to the fact that men spend too much time getting drunk and watching football. I couldn't possibly comment. Ask my wife...

I've written all sorts: thrillers, historical novels, short stories and now I'm enjoying myself hugely writing humour and romance. Romantic comedies are what we all need from time to time. Life isn’t always very fair. It isn’t always a lot of fun, but when it is, we need to embrace it. If my books can put a smile on your face and maybe give your heartstrings a tug, then I know I’ve done my job.

I‘ve lived all over Europe, but now I live in a little village in sleepy Devon, tucked away in south west England. I love the place. That’s why you’ll find leafy lanes and thatched cottages in most of my books. Oh, yes, and a black Labrador.  

I've been writing since I was 14 and that is half a century ago. However, underneath this bald, wrinkly exterior, there beats the heart of a youngster. My wife is convinced I will never grow up. I hope she's right.

BOOK TOUR AND GIVEAWAY: Blood Symmetry (Alice Quentin #5) by Kate Rhodes

Blood Symmetry

Kate Rhodes

on Tour July 11 - August 20, 2016

Synopsis:

Clare Riordan and her son, Mikey, are abducted from Clapham Common early one morning. Hours later, the boy is found wandering disorientated. Soon after, a container of Clare's blood is left on a doorstep in the heart of London.
Psychologist Alice Quentin is brought in to help the traumatized child uncover his memories, with the hope that it might lead the authorities to his mother's captors. But Alice swiftly realizes Clare is not the first victim… nor will she be the last.
The killers are desperate for revenge… and in the end, it will all come down to blood.

Book Details:

Genre: Thrillers, Crime 

Published by: Witness Impulse 

Publication Date: July 12, 2016 

Number of Pages: 368 

ISBN: 1444785605 (ISBN13: 9781444785609) 

Series: Alice Quentin #5

Purchase Links:

Review: Although this is the fifth in the series, it is very easily read as a standalone novel. Most references to things in the past are fairly well explained, and I never felt lost or confused at all.

This story is based on fact, using real life experiences of people who received tainted blood transfusions in the 1970s and 1980s (I personally had a friend who died for that very reason). I can almost understand someone wanting to take matters into their own hands and exact revenge/justice on those they held responsible.

If you are someone who gets squeamish reading about blood, then you might want to skip this book. There is a LOT of blood/bleeding involved throughout. Other than that, however, the story is very well written and keeps you in the grips of emotion.

I found Alice to be a very likable character, and particularly enjoyed her interactions with Mikey Riordan. When she finally reaches a breakthrough moment with him, it leads to some excitement in the storyline, but the situation is still far from resolved.  The entire book holds surprisng twists, and often has you wandering off in exactly the wrong direction in terms of solving things. I found it a wonderful read, and hope to read more of this series in the future.

Read an excerpt:

Saturday 11 October
The trees on Clapham Common are aflame with autumn colour. A couple are holding hands on a park bench, watching the leaves turn from red to gold in the early sunlight. They’re sitting in a deserted copse, the path ahead shrouded by thickets of hazel.
‘Maybe they won’t come,’ the man says, the chill already sapping his strength.
‘Give them time. Not panicking, are you?’
‘Of course not. It was my idea, remember?’
She leans over to kiss him, face shadowed by the collar of her black woolen coat, but the moment of intimacy soon passes. The man strains forward as he hears footsteps crunching on gravel – someone racing towards them through the trees.
‘Now,’ he whispers. ‘Let’s put it right.’
The first jogger is a slim brunette in a blue tracksuit. A young boy drifts in her wake, his smile wide and unquestioning, frame so slight that his sweatshirt flails in the breeze. The man steps out from the shadows and grabs the jogger from behind; she fights hard, a look of stunned recognition on her face. Her elbows gouge his ribs as she yells at the boy to run, but the woman has already caught him. The child goes down fighting, thin form collapsing as he inhales the anaesthetic, a blindfold covering his eyes. A chloroform pad is pressed to his mother’s mouth, before she’s dragged into the bracken.
The couple lift the victims’ inert bodies on to the back seat, their car camouflaged by thick foliage. The man’s hands fumble as he covers them with blankets, morning traffic thickening as the woman slips into the driver’s seat. The most dangerous stage is over; all they have to do now is deliver mother and son to the laboratory. When the man peers under the blanket, Clare Riordan’s face is pale as candle wax, the child’s body curled behind the driving seat. His gaze shifts to the road ahead.
‘Not far now, almost there.’ He repeats the words like a mantra.
Close to their destination they pause on a side street, a delivery van blocking their way. But when he looks back there’s a flicker of movement. Through the rear window he sees the boy sprinting across the tarmac.
‘Jesus,’ the woman hisses. ’I thought the doors were locked.’
The man’s heart thuds as he spills out on to the road, his skin feverish. The boy has vanished. His gaze skims over houses and empty front gardens. At the junction he comes to a halt, heaving for breath, frustration flooding his system. Thank God the child didn’t see their faces. The mother will be killed once she provides the information they need, but her son is beyond their reach.

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE: You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott #SRC2016 #bestsummerever

Book Information

Genre: Mystery/thriller

• Hardcover: 352 pages
• Publisher: Little, Brown and Company (July 26, 2016)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 031623107X
• ISBN-13: 978-0316231077

Synopsis: Katie and Eric Knox have dedicated their lives to their fifteen-year-old daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful. But when a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community just weeks before an all-important competition, everything the Knoxes have worked so hard for feels suddenly at risk. As rumors swirl among the other parents, revealing hidden plots and allegiances, Katie tries frantically to hold her family together while also finding herself drawn, irresistibly, to the crime itself, and the dark corners it threatens to illuminate. From a writer with "exceptional gifts for making nerves jangle and skin crawl," (Janet Maslin) You Will Know Me is a breathless rollercoaster of a novel about the desperate limits of desire, jealousy, and ambition.

Review: This book was scary--not only in the events that occurred but also in the way the characters dealt with them. While the things which happened in the gym seemed very realistic in terms of competition and sacrifice, certain things that happened outside the gym just didn't seem real. It definitely provides the reader with food for thought: how far would you go to help your child achieve her dream?

I honestly can't decide how I felt about the character of Devon. At times she seems like a confused, naive little girl, and at other times she's a cold, heartless bitch. I think she really needed a parent who was going to take her in hand and help guide her through adolescence, not parents who let a lot of her behaviors slide because the gymnastics was the important thing.

BOOK TOUR AND GIVEAWAY: His Secret Life by Kim Cano

Gay men don’t fall in love with women. Do they?

Philip is a gay man working for a conservative corporation. After his recent promotion, he needs a date for a company function and asks his sister’s new roommate, Emily.

Emily is an actress, waiting tables while starring in local plays and hoping for her big break. She agrees to be Philip’s date for the party, and soon they are attending one event after another together.

Philip and Emily click on many levels. Lines blur as the people they pretend to be start feeling like the people they are, causing a rift with Philip’s boyfriend Jason.

When Philip no longer works for the company, he doesn’t need Emily to play the role of his girlfriend anymore, but to his surprise, he can’t let her go.

Review: I was fascinated by the synopsis of this book, and thrilled to be able to read and review it. I have read one other book by this author, as well, which was fabulous. So I definitely had high hopes for this book.

I was not disappointed by it, for sure. The plot is unique and told in a very compassionate way. We are privy to both main characters inner struggles with the situation, and with their emotions. The author writes them so authentically and realistically that you can't help but feel connected to them.

I'm not usually a fan of romance stories, but this one is a remarkable exception. It shows that love is love, regardless of gender or any other labels people try to put on it. Open-minded readers will devour every word of this beautiful story.
