Meet Me at Pebble Beach by Bella Osborne



Meet Me at Pebble Beach was originally published as a four-part serial. This is the complete story in one package.

Regan is holding a winning lottery ticket.
Goodbye to the boyfriend who never had her back, and so long to the job she can’t stand!
Except it’s all a bit too good to be true…

When Regan gets pranked, she finds herself jobless, homeless and boyfriendless in one fell swoop.

Luckily her friendly seaside community provides a beacon of hope, proving to Regan that sometimes you really can rely on the kindness of others – and one local in particular, a handsome fireman called Charlie, helps Regan realise that this could be her chance for a fresh start.

Armed with a list of ways to change her life, Regan decides it’s time to step out of her comfort zone. Because – as Charlie knows all too well – life is for living . . .

A feel-good summer read, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Veronica Henry and Cressida McLaughlin.

Our Review


This book had me laughing out loud most of the way through, apart from the devastatingly sad bits. Regan is a bit of a disaster, everything that can go wrong does. The bit at the beginning was so funny and the sort of thing you would imagine happening to Bridget Jones.

When she meets Charlie she thinks her luck might have changed for the better but she is very much mistaken and things go from bad to worse.

Set in Brighton I was able to visualise clearly all the places that she went to which I really enjoyed.

Regan was rather annoying at times but lovable and a very loyal character. Even if she didn’t have anything she would still try to help other people and put them first. I loved her relationship with Elvis the dog and the other characters in the book.

A fun read with lots of laughs and a touch of heartbreak. Regan’s journey is filled with ups and downs and she is a character that will definitely stay with you.

Wedding Bells for Woolworths by Elaine Everest







July 1947. Britain is still gripped by rationing, even as the excitement of Princess Elizabeth’s engagement sweeps the nation… In the Woolworths’ canteen, Freda is still dreaming of meeting her own Prince Charming, and Sarah's idyllic family life is under threat with worries about her husband, Alan. The friends must rally round to face some of the toughest challenges of their lives together. And although they experience loss, hardship and shocks along the way, love is on the horizon for the Woolworths girls.

Our Review

I was delighted to read Wedding Bells for Woolworths as I really wanted to catch up and see what the original Woolworths girls had been getting up to.

Things had changed a lot for Maisie, Sarah and Freda and their boss Betty as three of them were married with children. Freda the youngest of the group found herself in a bit of a scrape due to perhaps misguided loyalties and subsequently risked the amazing friendships she had built with the other girls.

The story is set in post war Erith against the backdrop of Princess Elizabeth’s wedding and the Olympics being held in London. Although the story is fiction I found it even more interesting because of the snippets of history that were weaved throughout.

There is a troubling incident that happens which escalated as the story unfolds and becomes extremely shocking which totally pulled the rug from under my feet. I really don't want to give the game away so I won't say any more about that.

I love how Maisie manages to make clothes for the girls out of bits and bobs and I can really see the outfits in my imagination.

One of the things I love about the Woolworths series is that it gives the reader a glimpse of a more innocent and simple way of life, people didn’t have much but they shared what little they did have. The matriarch of the family Ruby was amazing as usual and still looked after everyone she came in contact with and treated them like they were her own.

There are lots of happy moments to look forward to with Wedding Bells for Woolworths but there is also heartbreak as things don't work out quite as well as they should do for some of the characters. It really does show that life isn't all plain sailing. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Woolworths series and The Teashop Girls by the same author.

Our Review

You know that lovely cosy feeling you get when you kick off your shoes at the end of the day and curl up with a hot drink and a bar of chocolate to watch a Christmas movie? Well that's exactly how I felt when I finished reading this book.  I absolutely loved it. 

I saw Carmel being interviewed by the fabulous Kim Nash and was completely struck by how bubbly she was and I immediately pre-ordered the book just from the conversation. I'm so glad I did because her bubbly personality really comes through in the writing.

Greta was a girl after my own heart, she was lovely but couldn't see herself how other people saw her. She was from an athletic family which made her feel like the odd one out because she was the curvy one. Sometimes her dad was a bit hard on her but there is no doubt that her family loved her, they just didn't really understand her. Unfortunately Greta found herself with a serious problem and her life spiralled out of control. During her recovery, her uncle, with whom she has always had a special bond, came up with the perfect solution. A road trip across America to see her favourite life coach quickly ensues and Greta has the time of her life. Whilst travelling she learns quite a lot about herself and helps her uncle with a journey that he has found himself on too. I loved hearing about the unusual places they travelled to and the connections to Greta's family's favourite film.

Greta's journey opened her eyes to so many things but the most important one was that she was worthy, her story was told with sadness and heartbreak but lots of humour too that made me laugh out loud. The book is really fast paced as we are carried along on Greta's life changing trip which is made even more fun when a couple of other characters tag along.

I really enjoyed the close relationship that Greta had with her uncle and the fact that when no one else understood her, he always did and he believed in her from beginning to end, even when she didn't believe in herself.

Funny, captivating and uplifting throughout.

The Secret Admirer by Carol Wyer





‘I tried to talk to you today but you snubbed me and walked away. It wasn’t wise to give me the brush-off, Gemma. I can be a truly good friend but I also make the perfect enemy.’

Sasha’s eighteen-year-old daughter Gemma was all she had in the world. Sasha fell pregnant with Gemma when she was still at school, and the two are as close as sisters. So when Gemma’s burned and broken body is found, Sasha’s world ends. What kind of person would want her beautiful daughter dead?

Leading the case is Detective Natalie Ward, scarred by her own recent tragedy. When she finds a note in Gemma’s diary from ‘a secret admirer’, she moves quickly, determined to un-mask them. But interviews with Gemma’s devastated ex-boyfriend, and her charismatic teacher, who has been seen embracing his student far away from the classroom, don’t give Natalie the answers she’d hoped for…

And then the case takes a devastating, personal twist. CCTV footage reveals Natalie’s estranged husband David followed Gemma home every evening the week before she died.

Natalie is forced to put personal feelings aside and follow procedure, even though she can’t believe David could be guilty. But when Gemma’s housemate is found murdered, Natalie thinks the killer could still be at large. Is she right to trust her instincts about David and can she discover the truth before another precious life is taken?

Grippingly fast and nail-bitingly tense, The Secret Admirer will have you flying through the pages long into the night. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Karin Slaughter.

Our Review


This is the sixth in the Natalie Ward series and wow Carol Wyer certainly puts her characters through their paces as Natalie faces her toughest case yet.

If ever a book shows that actions have consequences then this is it.

The book starts with an horrific attack on a young girl called Gemma and quickly escalates to more bodies being found.

Natalie and her team are under immense pressure to find the killer before they strike again.

As always the momentum of Carol’s books carry you along so fast and really make you feel part of the investigation and I’d say that from midway until the end my heart was pounding as I teetered on the edge of my seat as various channels of investigation were exposed.

What I’ve enjoyed most about this series is watching how Natalie has evolved as a person as each book takes her to a different stage of her personal life. When she speaks to Gemma’s mum she is able to communicate with her on a completely different level because of sharing the same type of loss.

Natalie is constantly being pulled in so many different directions as she tries to be the best detective, mother, wife and eventually lover but she never ever gets a chance to find out who she is as she never has time to herself. Natalie has always been a flawed character from the beginning but I think she’s learned a lot from what’s happened to her and in some ways although heartbroken for ever she seems to have found some sort of peace. I really think she deserves a holiday somewhere exotic that she can unwind and as she lives in a fictional world, unlike us, she should be able to do so.

I’ve completely loved this series and although the case is solved I think Natalie's private life has been left on bit of a cliff-hanger so I'll be waiting with baited breath until book seven comes out in July.

Well done Carol Wyer this series has been incredibly heart-breaking, gripping and left me with a sense of hope that Natalie can pick up the pieces of her life and move on to a happier future.

Our Review

Clover Cottage is the third instalment of the Heartcross Series of books set in the Scottish Highlands, complete with mountainous views, herds of Alpaca's and cosy country pubs and tearooms. Allie and Rory are a happy couple who still live apart . She in her parents' pub where she helps out and he is a cottage his parents own. When an opportunity arises for them to make the next step of moving in together Allie is very shocked to find that Rory is not as enthusiastic as she is.

When the famous Zach moves in to a glamping site temporarily for a break in filming he opens a whole can of worms and shows Rory a glimpse of what his life could be like in the public eye. 

An overwhelming sense of warmth and cosiness envelops me when I read a Christie Barlow book and no matter what happens I feel safe in the knowledge that it will all end well. There is such a thriving community in Heartcross and it is easy to feel as though I know all the characters as they do become a part of your life. 
This was a story with a difference as it wasn't two characters meeting for the first time, Allie and Rory were in a loving relationship and Clover Cottage basically tested their relationship to the limit. Their problems were the sort that happen in real life and this story of a couple working through their differences is just as enjoyable as one where they first meet. There were lots of sad moments but I was left feeling completely uplifted by how touching the acts of the community were to a character who was going through so much. There were also plenty of those moments that made me laugh out loud too. Along with family secrets what more could anyone possibly want from a book?

I thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and coming together of the people at Heartcross and Mop the Alpaca is so cute I really want to meet them. A cosy blend of escapism, heartache and humour.

Author Q & A with Giulia Skye


When former Olympic Swimmer, Michael Adams—now Canada’s hottest reality TV star— insults his fake showbiz wife on social media, he escapes the ensuing scandal and jumps on the first flight to Australia. Desperate to experience ordinary life again—if only for a few weeks—he becomes “Adam”, just another tourist traveling through the Outback. But with a reward out for his safe return and his fame’s nasty habit of catching up with him when he least expects, he needs a better disguise… and he’s just found it.

Sweet and scruffy British backpacker, Evie Blake, is taking a year out of her busy London life. Tired of lies and liars, she’s looking for adventure to heal her broken heart. So when the hot Canadian she meets at the campground offers to be her travel partner through Western Australia’s wild Kimberley region, she grabs the chance, unaware he’s got the world out looking for him.
He’s just a down-on-his-luck traveler, right?


Title:    When Adam Met Evie

Author Q and A 

We are delighted to welcome the fabulous Giulia Skye to Sincerely Book Angels today to talk about her brand new book When Adam met Evie.



What was the inspiration behind When Adam Met Evie?
I’ve always loved a good road trip romance, both in real life and in films and books, and it’s one of my favourite tropes. There’s something about two people, from completely different worlds, meeting, going on a journey together and falling in love along the way that always gets my imagination revving up. The inspiration to set this book in Australia came from my own backpacker travelling days, and the inspiration to write about a runaway celebrity came from on my own experiences of working in the TV industry and seeing the downside of being famous.


Did you always want to be a writer? 
Yes, but as a child I rarely did any writing other than pottering about with a few sentences. Growing up, I didn’t have my head buried in a book but rather my eyes glued to the TV as I loved watching old Hollywood films. I think this is where I got my sense of story telling from. I’m also a day dreamer with a very vivid imagination and tonnes of empathy and understanding about human nature. It’s only in recent years that I’ve actually taken my writing seriously and have learnt that to be a writer, you have to do writing. Which is the hard part.


What other jobs have you had? 
My career, since Uni, has been in TV production. I started as a Production Secretary, working my way up to Co-ordinator, then Manager and now I’m a Production Executive, although I work very part time on a consultancy basis. I’ve absolutely loved working in TV. I’ve met some amazing people and had some really memorable experiences. It’s rarely felt like work but after 22 years in the industry, I’m very happy to put it on the backburner so that I can concentrate on my children, and my writing.


Have you ever had writer's block? All the time! Sometimes, I find it really hard to construct the simplest of sentences. The words just don’t flow. Other times they do. The problem usually stems from not knowing what to write, rather than how to write it. Once I get that hideous first draft of a scene done, I can edit it forever, so I think my writer’s block comes from the fear of a blank page and not fully grasping what I want to say.


If so how did you overcome it?
I love gardening and exercising and I usually find that doing something completely different unblocks my mind enough to understand my story better and think about what I want to say. However, it’s still writing it down that is the hard part and there’s no way to overcome this other than sitting at my desk and writing. Slowly, slowly, I then have a scene, or a chapter, that I can work with and make better.


What motivates you to keep writing?
The fact that – despite finding it so hard and often soul destroying – I enjoy it! I love the play of words, I love creating, and I love spending time in my own head with my characters and what they get up to.


What three pieces of advice would you give to an aspiring writer?
Keep on writing.

Write what you like to read

Don’t pay attention to self-doubt.


If your book was made into a film what song would you choose for the opening credits?
David Guetta’s Lovers on the Sun. I’m not sure if it’s an opening credits type of song but it’s definitely one that I hear at the back of my mind whenever I think about Adam and Evie alone in the Outback together. It’s a hot, sexy song!


Who would you choose to play your favourite character in the film of your book? 
My heroine, Evie, has huge brown eyes and so I imagined her to look a bit like Mila Kunis.


What is your next book about? 
My next book is called The Summer of Sebastian and like When Adam Met Evie, is the story of two people from different countries and backgrounds who meet by chance while taking time out of their normal lives. Canadian Sebastian is a former Olympic swimmer who is working in England as a Sports Ambassador, hoping this new job will help repair his bad reputation until disgraced computer-geek, Helen, is mistaken for his girlfriend. She’s a far cry from the English Rose he really wants to be seen with, but when they’re locked into working together, Sebastian begins to wonder if there’s more to her than meets the eye.

Thank you so much for joining us today Giulia and good luck with the book.
Here's our review for When Adam Met Evie


Sincerely

About the Author

Italian-born Giulia Skye spent her childhood watching classic Hollywood films and thinking up her own romantic stories. After two decades working in TV production, she knew turning those stories into novels would be much more enjoyable - and far cheaper – than turning them into films. She still keeps her hand in TV production but is at her happiest being a stay-at-home mum, spending time with her family, growing her own vegetables and conjuring up sizzling stories about sexy heroes meeting fiesty heroines who aren’t always as they at first appear.  When Adam Met Evie is her first novel, Book 1 of her “Take a Holiday” series.

Spring Blogger Evening 2020






One of the highlights of the booky calendar for me has always been the Spring Blogger Evening hosted at Simon & Schuster HQ by the amazing Sara-Jade Virtue and the fabulous Books and the City team.
Sorry I didn't manage to get a pic with all of the authors on

Our invitation had promised us a quiz with fizz, cakes and amazing new books by the magnificent seven.

When we arrived we were plied with nibbles and fizz and given a coloured sticker with our name on, we had to then find our tribe and sit together to take part in the quiz. I was in the pink team with the fabulous Maureen Stapleton who was in charge of the pen and the lovely Santa Montefiore was on our team too.

We were quizzed on various books from Simon and Schuster authors from last year and it's a good job we'd been paying attention because WE WON! Sara-Jade presented us all with Lindt chocolate chicks and bunnies and I would have taken a picture of mine but unfortunately I have eaten them all, I'm a confirmed chocoholic so please don't judge me.





Next the authors were tasked with either pitching their books to us or reading from them, some even did both and one did something completely different which I'll tell you about in a minute. After the readings each author had to tell us two truths and one lie which was hilariously confusing as some of them thought it was two lies and one truth, we then had to judge which author was the best liar and we unanimously voted for Anstey Harris who's lie left the room open mouthed in shock and the relief was palpable as we realised that thankfully it was the lie, it was so funny and SJ's face was a picture.
As we milled about with the fanciest cakes which matched the book covers we were given the opportunity to get our books signed and take a look at the flat lay room where the team had created the most beautiful and artistic displays for each book.



The first book was called The High Moments by Sara-Ella Ozbek and Sara-Ella did a reading which was both shocking and hilarious and made me laugh out loud, I've already predicted it will win the Romantic Comedy Novel Award next year just from the first few pages.


Amazon



Santa Montefiore talked about her book which is called Here and Now about a lady with dementia and a community that come together to share their memories of her, she said that she didn't want it t be a depressing book but instead she wanted it to be full of love and uplifting. I found the description very moving and beautiful.







Paige Toon has had me in tears many a time and her book The Minute I Saw You sounds absolutely intriguing, it's about a woman who is an optician and has to get quite close to a man who has an eye test and the chemistry is definitely there but the next time he comes in he's a shadow of his former self, apparently it was quite dark in places and Paige couldn't talk too much about it without giving away important plot points.

Amazon

 




Holly Hepburn's new book Coming Home to Brightwater Bay is about a woman who moves to the Orkneys and finds herself welcomed into a friendly community, apparently there is a couple of love interests including a really hot Viking type hero in the book with whom Holly has fallen in love with and so I'm sure we will too. Holly made me laugh with one of her truths which she still cringes about now, I'd tell you what it s but what happens in S &S HQ stays in S &S HQ.

Amazon


Christina Pishiris was up next and she had the original idea to talk about her character as though she was writing to Reddit as part of AITA Am I the Arsehole, she explained how the boy she fell in love with was now back in the country but so was his ex and she needed to befriend the ex to get an interview with a celebrity. It was really funny.


Amazon









Next was Caroline Scott with her story When I Come home Again which sounds very moving, set in the first world war, it's about a soldier who has lost his memory and an appeal is sent out to see if anybody knows him. Three women come forward, one who says he's her brother, one her son and one her husband, each claim seems genuine as certain pieces fit but also there are parts of their stories that don't fit. 

Amazon



Finally Anstey Harris whose previous book, The Truths and triumphs of Grace Atherton won the Sapere Books Popular Romantic Fiction award the night before at the RNA Romantic Novel Awards, talked about her book and also read a small section to us too. The book is called Where We Belong and is about a mother and son who move to a museum to stay just for the summer but whilst there they uncover secrets, the piece she read out was intriguing and had me wanting to know more and if it's half as good as her previous one it will be fantastic.

Amazon





Even though she wasn't there it was lovely to see Outstanding Achievement Award Winner 2020, Milly Johnson's new quick reads book, The Little Dreams of Lara Cliffe, was tucked away in the goody bags.

Amazon

It was lovely to meet up with so many familiar faces amongst bloggers and authors and the Books and the City team and I had a lovely time. Thanks again to Sara-Jade Virtue for the event and the super haul in the goody bag, my dog was very interested in it.

Sincerely
Book Angel x
