Blog Tour: Review ~ Sweet Reflection by Grace Henderson


Book: Sweet Reflection
Author: Grace Henderson
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Laurel Matthews’ career rests on helping brides-to-be with their most important wedding purchase – their dress. She will go to any length to ensure her customers get their perfect happily ever after, but has accepted the fact she may not get hers. The only two men she ever loved, left her, and she vowed not to let the heartbreak happen a third time. She leaves guys before they leave her and usually she’s fine with that, until one night that she can’t remember, changes everything.  James Dawson, self-proclaimed ladies’ man and all round womaniser has the best one night stand he’s ever had and does he get the chance to repeat it? No, because she can’t even remember it! With his ego pushing him to remedy that immediately he sets about pursuing the woman who could easily be his downfall. When someone from James’ past settles herself in town and threatens the reprise he was hoping for, will he be able to overcome the temptation and prove himself to be the man Laurel can’t live without? Or will they both let underlying fears, past mistakes and uncertain futures lead them down a different path? Book Two in the Truth Series - can be read standalone.

Ramblings . . .

This is book 2 in the Truth series. You can read them as stand alone book. I had not read the first book in the series but that didn't matter. The only instance I felt slightly lost is when you meet the characters from the first book. You feel as though missed something but this doesn't effect the story at all.

This is a fresh story. It felt great to be reading about our fair London with characters in realistic jobs, leading realistic lives. This gives a feeling of empathy with the characters. Both of which I loved. James and Laurel are our love birds in Sweet Reflection. What starts as a one night drunken fling turns into a full blown romance. I love how the story grows from the beginning. The banter that they share is great throughout the book and full of sexual tension. I was rooting for them because they are just so perfect together. 

This story comes without much drama which is really refreshing to read if you want something easy to pick up. It is a fun book but there are some emotional bits that will choke you up. There were a few instances where I wanted to know more. Laurel's ex pops up a few times in conversation then we finally bump into him later in the book but I don't feel the meeting was really needed, brief as it was.  I would have liked to know a bit more of her history with him there but that is out of my own curiousity.

The sex scenes are rather juicy. For starters, we have two hotties that have sparks flying between them. Sexual tension is radiating between them from the start so when they do finally get down to business, the fireworks pop. I felt like a somewhat pervy fly on the wall ;) which is what we want truthfully right?

I thoroughly enjoyed Sweet Reflection and would recommend it to anyone that likes a good romance. I would also like to read about some of the other characters so I will definately be looking out for the next in the series :)


When Grace isn't working her day job, she is huddled in the corner writing or reading romance novels. Having always loved both, it was only after changing jobs and having to put up with a long commute that they took over as an obsession. Now there isn't a day goes by that she lets her Ipad out of sight. She lives in the UK with her husband and two cats, and is a compulsive tea drinker.

This book was way to short for my liking...seriously man it felt like a starter but i thought the pre-qual (Scorpion Mc: Ryder) was the starter this was going to be all heavy and bam juicy meal but no..more teasing. God, you making me more hungry for the next. 

This story continues on with Ryder and Jade, where they face they first, yet toughest challenge of their relationship. Caught in the middle, facing love or their family. Decision decision. Ryder has to make this difficult choice for the both of them, its even more tough for him as the choice between the love of his life or his closest family. Leaving either one, is like a stab to the heart, fighting hard but sometimes decision are force upon you that you have to take that road. 

The story does take you on a little emotional journey, fight for the one you love as well as your family, protecting them, yet which one comes first, the heart and mind fighting against each to other. The chemistry between Jade and Ryder is strong, you can really feel they love they have for each other and have a flying sparks between them. 

The story is just building up, i feel there more curiosity busting to come out. More barrier to test Ryder and Jade's love. 


   






Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.

Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.

Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).


 


Blog Tour ~ Review: Enjoying the Chase by Kirsty Moseley

ETC 2
Title: Enjoying the Chase
Author: Kirsty Moseley 
  Release Date: 25th March 2013 
  Tour Host: All Things Books
  
~Blurb ~ 
  Nate Peters is living the playboy life. He has great friends, a great job, no responsibilities, no girlfriend, and he loves it. Nate, being incredibly skilled with a pick-up line, has never failed to get a girl in his life… until one day he meets Rosie York. Rosie is completely uninterested in him. Being unable to stand a dented ego, Nate makes it his mission to win her over. Not used to putting in much effort, Nate is surprisingly enjoying the chase of this off-limits little brunette. Maybe he has finally met his match… But Rosie has a few surprises of her own which will make it remarkably more difficult for him to get close to her. *Please note that this is a companion novel to Nothing Left to Lose*

Ramblings...

Absolutely loved this book from start to finished, it just captures you right in with all the Mr Peters charms. Seriously that man is full of it, as sweet as Lucky Charms and smooth  as silk. A major player, that is ace at his game but he soon meet his match. 

Kirsty, has done it once again with another awesome book under her pen, i love it. This author has yet to fail to delivery another amazing story, that is why i keep a ear and eye out for her upcoming products and of course never hesitate to sign up for a chance to review her book. 

Enjoying the chase is full of banter and flirtatious pick up lines from Nate and Rose. I seriously have a silly grin on my face all the way through the book and lots of laugh out loud moments, especially all of Nate's flirting skills. Its funny to see all his charms and one lines, isn't working when it comes to Rose and she has her own game on her hand. Totally backfire Nate's ego. Sometimes i wonder where Kirsty get all this pick up lines from, either its from experience or she's been hiding out on the men's toilet ear-dropping on there conversations. 

This book is full of laughter, heart warming and dangerous moments. You would not feel a moment dragged, you would be smiling along all sweeten up by Nate and DJ and and...Aston is in there too! The witty banter and flirty lines between Nate and Rose is just awesome to read, they were a total match, just like watching tennis match back and forth. The story also interrelate back with Anne and Aston which i didn't know until the pop up. I love those two as well. You would have to read - Nothing Left to Lose. That's equally amazing. 

Going back to Enjoying the Chase, the title really does say it all. The challenge, the things you give up on willingly and without realising it's special. Sometimes you find something that is worth the change and wait. There is always the expectation, Nate and Rose might have became each others expectation not just another challenge. Unexpected things, that people by surprise. Its not always what you see from the outside, its the inside that draw you in.

Kirsty Moseley  My name is Kirsty. I was born in Hertfordshire, England. In 2000 I moved to Norfolk, it was there that I met my husband, Lee. Now, what can I say about Lee, apart from everyone should have one? He's my biggest supporter, and I wouldn't be where I am today without his encouragement and endless support. He is my inspiration behind most of my male leads, I always try to bring a little of him in somewhere, be it his kindness, selflessness, or just his ability to make me feel treasured. In 2005, I was gifted with the birth of my son. He is, and always will be, the best thing I have ever done in my life. As you can probably tell, I'm a very proud mummy. I have always been interested in writing, but after the birth of my son I accidentally came across an amateur writing site. After a couple of months of just reading on there, I finally plucked up the courage and posted one of my stories. I was shocked and overwhelmed by the support of readers on there and they gave me the confidence to get where I am today. In April 2012, I self-published my first novel ‘The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window’. And in October 2012 I took the plunge again, publishing my second novel, 'Always You.' Lastly, if I had to sum myself up in one word, it would probably be ‘daydreamer’ – but unlike most of my school teachers, I don’t necessarily view that as a bad thing. After all, I read somewhere once that books are like waking dreams….

A story that will make you feel a little heart broken but with a little ray of light, hope. Sometimes people are just meant to be together, not matter how much distant, time or even  obstacle between them, fate will always bring them back together because there path doesn't stop there. This story takes you on a journey that anything can happened, if you believe and sometimes you don't have to carry all that bundle on your own, no matter how independent you are, we all need that someone to love.

I really did enjoy this, i loved the banter between the two, they both so strong character and good for each other. They need each help each other without knowing, fear to face the truth. The author really feeds you in on the emotions and build the picture has how they both are going through. At time i did feel like it was over dragged, but from another prospective it could be they were living and enjoying the moment but i was hoping it bit more.
