Ceri thinks she sees angels … everywhere. She struggles to keep separate what feels like two very different sides to her life. As a manager in an advertising company she’s been working with the gorgeous Alex for two years. The have a friendship based upon the image she portrays whilst she’s at work and it helps to keep her sane. One mad, crazy night spent sharing their secrets and a lot of wine result in them ending up in bed together, and their relationship changes. When Alex explains that the reason he doesn’t date is because someone broke his heart, how can Ceri admit that she feels a deep connection to him?

Ceri knows she’s different. What she doesn’t fully appreciate, is that her task in life is to correct a series of incidents that affect some of the people’s lives with whom she comes into contact. She’s simply putting right little errors that could ripple outwards and change the course of their destiny. When she finds herself getting pulled into things that happen around her, how can she prove that she really has made a difference? Is it all in her head?

She’s alone for a reason; she’s not meant to fall in love in her earthly life. Alex is supposed to cross paths with her and help Ceri, during a phase where she begins to question the signs she’s being given. It’s meant to be a turning point for them both—but in opposite directions. They are destined to travel very different paths … but Ceri doesn’t know that and neither does Alex …

Someone has to win and it could be YOU!

Falling: Angels Among Us the series is published by Harper Impulse.

The Blurb



A must-read for fans of Kate Morton!

In 1920s Blackpool, eleven year old Rose wanders away from her parents and has a unique gift bestowed upon her. This gift will leave a haunting legacy, seeping down through the generations...

Decades later, Louisa has a vision of her mother walking into the sea. This isn't the first time it happens and it won't be the last, but what she sees isn't always what she wants. The rest of her life is spent trying to change the future that haunts her.

In present day Blackpool, Grace is going to be married someday. She knows this because she's seen it; a vision of a white dress, daisies embroidered on the sleeves, the groom by her side, vowing to love her forever. Except the man in her premonition doesn't belong to her- he belongs to her twin sister, Elsie.

Haunted by what they know and what they are afraid to find out, all three women must make a choice: in the face of certain destiny should you chase the outcome that's "meant to be", or throw away fate and choose your own future?

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Hannah also has some exciting news to share!

 

"My next new book has a working title of The Castle of Dreams and will be released by Harper Impulse later this year…

 

In 1939, Evelyn du Reve lives in a Castle that stands at the top of Silenshore, a small English seaside town. Evelyn is rich and beautiful, but she wants more than is offered inside the castle gates. When an exotic stranger gives her a beautiful mirror encrusted with sapphires, the gems of new love, she falls in love with him. But once she is married, Evelyn realizes the love that sparkled in the beginning was perhaps not all it seemed.

In 1964, Victoria Lace sits in her father’s antique shop and stares into the same sapphire mirror. When Victoria looks up from her reflection and sees a stranger standing in front of her, she knows that her life as she knew it is gone. In its place is one where all she thinks of, and dreams of, is the man in front of her.

In 2010, Isobel Blythe is faced with a sudden change when she becomes pregnant after only three months of dating Tom, who seems like the man of her dreams. As she adapts to her strange new life, she struggles to ignore the secrets that linger around her.

Bound by the legacy of the sapphire mirror, the three women try to discover who they really are, who they can trust, and what true love really means.

The Love List-Eve Devon REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY FOR HARPER IMPULSE FORTNIGHT

The Blurb

Falling in love is just not on Nora King’s To Do List…

Neither is accidentally super-gluing her shoe to her hand right before the biggest presentation of her life!

With all the hard work she’d put into securing the family business after her father’s death, Nora has no choice but to accept help from a knight in shining armour.

Disaster relief worker Ethan Love is still haunted by his last deployment, and desperate for distraction. He’s in town to ask Nora for a major favour, and swooping in to save her presentation is a sure way to get her on side.

As Ethan sticks around and helps Nora through her grief, her barriers tumble down…but will she dare to swap her To Do lists for a How to Fall in Love list?

The Review

The Love List is one of the contemporary romance releases in Harper Impulse's back catalogue.  As mentioned in the blurb above it's a 'will they/won't they' struggle between Nora and Ethan, and although it took me a couple of chapters to get hooked, I was well and truly reeled in by the half way point and there was no way I was putting that book down until I found out if they were going to get together!

Being honest, Nora wasn't the kind of heroine I immediately warm to- although I admire a strong, career-minded woman I find them harder to relate to (because my life doesn't revolve around business deals and number crunching).  However, as the plot developed I began to appreciate Nora's character more and why she sometimes came across in a less than endearing light. 

Ethan Love on the other hand...he was wonderful right from the start!  I think I'm still swooning.  A kind hearted, charitable hunk of a man who cares about his family and runs his own business to boot- there's not a lot that doesn't appeal about that!  The tension between him and Nora is sizzling, and I especially love the bike scenes- phew!  Is it getting hot in here?!

Their story is complicated, partly because they are wary of getting too emotionally involved after previous set-backs in life.  Add in family complications, where a shared relative who needs a stable influence could be affected by their actions and their love story appears to be one that is over before it begins...

The love list of the title, which I'd assumed the plot would be built around, isn't revealed until right near the end, but when it is it shows that maybe Nora has always been a girl who deep down knows exactly what she wants.  It certainly gave me pause to wonder what I would have been looking for as a ten year old and whether the adult me would have been looking for the same.

The Love List is an entertaining read with some red-hot scenes and touching moments, and I'm left wanting more of Ethan! I'm looking forward to reading Her Best Laid Plans next, which is actually the first in the series (although the books can be read and enjoyed as stand alones- which this review is testament to!).

With thanks to Harper Impulse for providing me with a review copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

The Love List is available to buy now, in both ebook and paperback format.

Author Bio:

 

Growing up in locations like Botswana and Venezuela gave me quite the taste for adventure and my love for romances began when my mother shoved one into my hands in a desperate attempt to keep me quiet during TV coverage of the Wimbledon tennis finals!

 

When I wasn’t consuming books by the bucket-load, I could be found pretending to be a damsel in distress or running around solving mysteries and writing down my adventures. As a teenager, I wrote countless episodes of TV detective dramas so the hero and heroine would end up together every week. As an adult, I worked in a library to conveniently continue consuming books by the bucket-load, until realising I was destined to write contemporary romance and romantic suspense myself. I live in leafy Surrey in the UK, a book-devouring, slightly melodramatic, romance-writing sassy heroine with my very own sexy hero husband!

Top 5 'Things I've Learned in my 20s' by Elizabeth Aaron INCLUDING GIVEAWAY!

I'm absolutely delighted to have Elizabeth Aaron guesting on my blog today.  Her novel Low Expectations is out today, published by Quercus.

Top 5 ‘Things I’ve Learned In My 20s’ For Books With Bunny

While studying Fashion Design in London, author Elizabeth Aaron interned at Alexander McQueen and Jonathan Saunders as well as doing a freelance project for Givenchy. She moved to Paris in 2012 to write ‘Low Expectations’ while working as a nanny. Think ‘Girls’ meets ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ in Dalston- also featuring her weird/charming doodles.

 

-Do: Say ‘yes’ to Life! There has never been so much choice, stimulation and leisure afforded to us as human beings. If you have indoor plumbing, consider yourself to be living the Utopian ideal. Remember that there is always another avenue open to you. Say ‘yes’ to things you haven’t tried before, relax and have fun. Life is just a collection of experiences before death. Collect some interesting ones.

 

-Don’t: Live your life in fear. So, I actually learned this from Baz Luhrman’s camp extravaganza Strictly Ballroom, but the implications are profound. If you are making decisions because you are scared you can’t achieve what you really want, you’ll be stuck in a rut. It may be a very pleasant rut that leaves you only occasionally dissatisfied. Now is the time to explore! You may fail, but you’ll come out of it stronger, with stories to tell.

 

-Do: Feel like an idiot. This is not a sign that you are a moron but that you are curious and exposing yourself to new ideas. The more you feel like a fool, the sooner humiliation will fade! Eventually you will find your ignorance liberating, declaring it at every turn. You will be educated on subjects by the people most passionate about them and discover new ways of looking at the world. If someone makes you feel like a mug because of it, don’t take it personally and move on.

 

-Don’t: Try to transform into someone else’s ‘ideal version of you’. Whether it is a parent, friend or lover, slowly chipping away at your own preferences will leave you uncomfortable in your own skin. It also sets up an unhealthy dynamic of trying to please them - that is inevitably followed by failure of some kind. This isn’t to say don’t change - just think about what your priorities, dreams and values are. Like what you like, do what you want to do and go your own way.

 

-Do: Be incompetent. Life is a learning experience. Every job I’ve ever had, I’ve blagged my way into and been completely terrible at initially. Happily, if you are friendly and kind, it’s actually quite hard to get fired. You will adapt, learn and improve more quickly than you think. At which point you can move on to a new challenge – i.e. something else you are (for the moment) completely terrible at. Then one day, your accumulated new talents will lead you into something you are challenged by AND are actually qualified for. Huzzah!  

To be in with a chance of WINNING a goody bag filled with make-up and perfume samples from @eaaronwrites to celebrate the publication of LOW EXPECTATIONS (July 17^th) simply tweet ‘Can't wait to read the smart, raunchy & laugh-out-loud funny LOW EXPECTATIONS by @eaaronwrites. A goody bag would be FAB too @quercusbooks’

Good Luck!!!

 

 

 

One Night in Italy- Lucy Diamond INCLUDING GIVEAWAY OF THE BEACH CAFE!

It's the first Diamond Friday!  And this feature has been a long time coming.  This time last year I contacted Lucy Diamond and asked if she would be happy to be involved with a week dedicated to her and she was incredibly supportive.  I was delighted- I am such a fan of Lucy's writing and I wanted to share my excitement with the world!  However, life got in the way for me and it has taken until now to organise what has now become Diamond Fridays- one day a week where Books with Bunny shares reviews, author features and giveaways, exclusively about the shiniest gem in the jewellery box of authors, Lucy Diamond.  I was fortunate to meet Lucy recently (read about it here )and I'm pleased to say she was just as wonderful as her books.

One Night in Italy introduces us to a group of adults attending evening classes to learn Italian.  The unlikely group quickly form a strong bond, and as they in turn face challenges in their personal lives, they will come to rely on the friendships more than they could ever have guessed.  Catherine finds herself facing a new life alone as her children leave for university and her husband calls time on their marriage- but she soon discovers her ex is capable of things she never believed possible.  Anna is building up the courage to search for the Italian father she has never met.  And Sophie, the class tutor, is reluctantly back in South Yorkshire after travelling the world, unsure of what she wants from life.

I found myself completely and utterly swept away by this book.  The characters were a diverse bunch, at different stages of life, yet I could relate to them all, which I think proves that Lucy Diamond has an incredibly rare talent for creating characters with depth.  Even the fringe characters are well crafted and left me as a reader wanting to know more about their lives.

The Sheffield setting also appealed to me-I came to University here in 1998 and have never been away for more than a fortnight since.  Lucy Diamond definitely manages to capture the unique vibe of the city- 'the world's largest village' as it is sometimes referred to.  Knowledge of Sheffield isn't necessary to enjoy the book, but I do think it added to the pleasure I got from reading it.  I felt like I was in on a secret knowing all the pubs and coffee shops mentioned (which makes it sound like I have a much more active social life than I do in reality).

The only downside for me was that it ended when it did.  It isn't a short book at almost 500 pages, but I feel One Night in Italy is crying out for a sequel.  I want to know more about these characters!  Please don't let this be the end!

If you like fast paced books of interwoven lives, with both drama and humour, then this one is perfect for you.

One Night in Italy is out now, published by Pan Macmillan.

Next Friday I will be reviewing Lucy's bestseller The Beach Café and if you would like to win a copy then enter the rafflecopter giveaway below (UK only- entrants from outside the UK will sadly be disqualified).

Q and A with Journey to Rainbow Island author Christie Hsaio including GIVEAWAY!

Today I am delighted to welcome Christie Hsaio to Books with Bunny.  Christie is the author of Journey to Rainbow Island, a fantasy adventure book for children.

How long did it take you to write Journey to Rainbow Island? 

-It took me 8 months to write Journey to Rainbow Island book one. Whenever I felt a block, I would go out into nature- I love going to the beach and hiking and it always seems to help.

Do you find it easy to visualise as you write?

-Yes, it was easy to visualize as I write. I had a clear vision of Rainbow Island from the start, including the Rainbow children, animals and dragon, and all the magical beings and dark creatures featured in the book.

What are your own favourite reads?

-I like fantasy books and romantic comedies; I’m a fan of stories with a positive and uplifting message.  I've been hugely influenced by Asian culture and Asian animated storybooks, which were a big part of my childhood- they all tend to be based in magical and fantastical worlds. I also love historical books, as I'm fascinated by different cultures and the history behind them. 

Which other authors would you compare your writing style to?

-I don’t really like to compare, as I think every writer is wholly unique and has very specific attributes. But in terms of writers that inspire me, I’d have to say CS Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia.

What is next in the pipeline for you?

-I’m writing the second instalment of Journey to Rainbow Island, and developing the second Journey to Rainbow Island video game app. I was really thrilled at the feedback the first one received after it went on the Apple App store and Facebook, so it made sense to develop a second.

There’s also a film based on the book in the works, and I’m currently doing book signings and events in the US, Europe and Asia- it’s all very hectic, but in the best way!

Hope to see you all at my next events!

The Blurb
New York Times Bestseller Yu-ning thinks her perfect life on Rainbow Island will never end--until a nasty dragon called the Obsidigon returns from beyond the grave. Now her beloved island is in flames, her best friend has been kidnapped, and the island's Sacred Crystals have been stolen. To make matters worse, she must venture into the dark corners of the world to uncover secrets best ignored, find a weapon thought long destroyed, and recapture seven sacred stones--without being burned to a crisp by a very angry dragon. With the help of her master teacher, Metatron, Yu-ning embarks on a dangerous journey to overcome not only the darkness attacking her home, but also the scars of sadness that mark her own heart. And while most people just see a normal kid, Metatron--and a few other unlikely allies--pledge their lives to the dark-eyed little girl with a magic bow and a crooked grin.

Books with Bunny is delighted to be able to have a copy of Journey to Rainbow Island to give away to one lucky winner!  Enter below...and good luck! (UK only)

Welcome to Her Best Four Letter Word Blog Hop, celebrating the publication of two HarperImpulse titles:  Eve Devon’s ‘Her Best Laid Plans’ (contemporary romance) and Zara Stoneley’s ‘Love is a Four Letter Word’ (erotic romance).

Look out for the deets for TWO GIVEAWAYS via Rafflecopter and using the comments section on this blog at the end of the post. 

ABOUT ‘HER BEST LAID PLANS’ by Eve Devon

 

Blurb: Love is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans…

The Totally Perfect Life Plan of Amanda Gray

Step 1 – Take total control of own destiny and avoid getting too wrapped up in the details.

Step 2 – Definitely do NOT kiss gorgeous bad-boy businessman who doesn't know how to live life without scheduling it six months in advance, even if he is absolutely irresistible.

Step 3 – Don't even THINK of accompanying him to London as his PA to enjoy steamy encounters in a metropolitan paradise.

Step 4 – Absolutely, positively, whatever you do- do NOT fall in love with him…

Over to Eve...

I feel very privileged to write romantic fiction and the absolute best part is creating sexy heroes, sassy heroines and happy ever afters! There’s a lot written about sexy heroes because, well, yum! But then, what about the heroine who captures the hero’s heart? These women are just like us (by no means perfect!) but…there is always something special about them, that appeals to the hero.

Everyone, I’d like you to meet Amanda Gray from Her Best Laid Plans

Name: Amanda Gray

Age: 24

Height: 5ft 7”

Occupation: Temporary Personal Assistant to her brother’s best friend Jared King.

Motto: Tomorrow has a nasty way of sneaking up on you and upsetting any plans you’ve made, so live for the moment.

About: So, okay, she was a novice at changing the course of her life. And maybe the plan read a bit like a list. But for Amanda it was more of a resolution anyway. A New Year’s resolution to participate in her own life story. Scary as that felt. Unsafe as that felt. Tempting fate as that felt. She had to try.

Description: Shock could do strange things to a person. Something Jared knew for a fact when he turned his head slightly at the woman doing the siren-like slow-mo walk through the maze of tables towards him, and briefly imagined that it was Amanda. Cataloguing sexy high heels, black pencil skirt and form fitting black sweater, long chestnut hair and flawless creamy skin… all his thoughts lurched to a stop when he zeroed in on the pair of twinkly, button brown eyes.

Inspiration: for a sneaky inspirational peak click: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1740092/

Amanda’s reaction after joking to Jared she could come up with a plan to seduce him:

She bit her lip at the delicious thought of testing that famous control of his.

Bit down a little harder at the thought of Jared losing all that famous control.

With her. Because of her.

Disgusted with the lack of her own self-control she plumped her remaining pillows and turned over again.

She was so not going down this road. She was here to kick-start her life. Not give either of them a problem that followed them back to New York. She closed her eyes and tried emptying her mind of all thought.

Ever since joking about coming up with the stupid seduction plan, it had been virtually all she could think about. It meant she spent a large portion of her day and night feeling edgy and unfulfilled. She wasn’t pleased to have her needs and wants highlighted like nothing else in a long, long time.

And she wanted Jared King. Big Time.

Just one of the reasons Jared starts falling for Amanda: He’d told himself over and over that the kiss had been a fluke. There was no possible way that someone, so opposite to him in outlook, could produce such a primal response from a place so deep inside of him he’d forgotten it even existed.

ABOUT ‘LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD’ by Zara Stoneley

 

Take one rich girl who has a thing for the bad boys.

Take one tough guy who thinks possession is nine-tenths of the misery law.

Mix generously with a land dispute and a whole lotta lust…. And what have you got?

Sometimes being bad can be just too good to miss.

Available from AMAZON or click here for other retailers.

 Over to Zara...

Every time I start writing a new book I get to meet a new, sexy hero – and so does my heroine! And it usually takes a special kind of girl to capture his heart…

So, here’s the one girl who might just be able to win bad boy Jake over, meet: Georgie Hampton from Love is a Four Letter Word!

Name: Georgina Hampton

Height: 5ft 10”

Occupation: Front of house at the Veneto restaurant, and location scout for photo shoots

 

About:  Georgie used to be one of the good girls, until her mother left the family without warning, and her father insisted they leave the family home, her friends and her horses. And with a new step-mother on the scene she’s packed off to boarding school and a life she hates. But once she grows up, she can do just what she wants… Chasing the bad boys means she doesn’t have to commit, or think of the future. Chasing the bad boys means she can live exactly how she wants to!

Motto: Being bad is a hell of a lot more fun than being good.

 

Jake’s first impression of Georgie: He let his gaze drift over her lazily again. A black sheath dress that fitted where it touched, caressing every curve of her toned body. It was modest at the neck, but dropped low at the back and where it sat high on her thighs it was just crying out to be nudged that inch or two further. There wasn’t much left to the imagination, but enough. Enough to make him desperate to go there. Explore.

 

Georgie’s reaction when she finds out where Jake lives:

Swallowing the pang of sadness down, she blinked hard to clear the mist from her eyes. It was too long ago, she shouldn’t let an autumn day and walking down this oh so familiar lane affect her like that. It was just a road. It could be anywhere. But when she glanced up, the white puff balls of cloud scudding across a clear blue sky made her ache inside. A lump that hadn’t been there for a long time clutched at her chest, tightened her throat until it was hard to swallow.

 

Just one of the reasons Jake starts falling for Georgie: She tilted her head on one side, surveyed him through dark eyelashes and a tangle of hair. A whisper from the past that sent an ache of longing deep inside him. He’d wanted that sweet little girl lost a long time ago, and he still wanted her now. Whatever.
