I love nothing more than putting on some cosy clothing and getting comfy on the sofa with a good book. I bought four books to read over the summer and I thought I would do a round up of them. You will notice that the main jist of all the books is escaping your real life and having an adventure and I'm sure you will agree that after the year I had, I could do with one myself.
Starting off with the first book I finished, A Match Made in Devon by Cathy Bramley.
There are a few different story lines happening within this book and one of the story lines i loved while another bored me a little. The main plot is about an actress from London who has to leave the city and go into hiding as such and ends up in the village where her older brother lives. A few things happen and she ends up helping an old friend who is in a sticky situation, that story line i followed and loved reading more about, then it adds in a boathouse i wasn't that interested in and a love interest who didn't tickle my fancy. The idea of the book was really appealing to me but once the ending to the plot of the story that i liked happened, i wasn't really interested in the last few chapters. It just wasn't my cup of tea but that's just my opinion.
The second book I read was The Greek Escape by Karen Swan which is about a girl called Chloe who has an amazing job working among the filthy rich. The story follows her life with her annoying ex boyfriend who followed her from England to America and the crazy chaos which comes with her job. The story includes small chapters dedicated to a mysterious women who at the end of the story you realised where she fit in. I didn't expect it to be so gripping based on the front of the book but it really surprised me how much was going on, i mean it is no Dan Brown book but it did keep me glued.
The Perfectly Imperfect Women by Milly Johnson
This book caught my eye in Tescos mainly because i thought the illustration on the front was really cute and i thought it would have a cute story behind it. I love books set in quiet villages with old women and this story is about a brilliant women called Lilian who invites a strange to visit the village she owns. Marnie, the said stranger, is running away from her life back in the city and finds a lot of secrets hidden in this small village. The plot of this story is really cute and such an easy read, i definitely want to read more of Milly's books especially The Mother of all Christmases because i love a Christmas love story!
This could change Everything by Jill Mansell
This was the last book i read out of my little summer haul and it didn't disappoint. I love Jill Mansell books so much, i find them so easy to read and become really embedded in the story. The story follows Essie who's life turns upside down after an email circulates of her saying exactly what she thinks of the people around her. I loved reading about Essie, Conor and Lucas and i think you will too. My favourite book by Jill Mansell so far is You and Me, Always which i was recommend to you all. There are too many books to choose my next read.
I have mentioned before that I am a total bookworm and since getting my iPad I have read so many books on it I think it is about time I gave you a low down of my favourites.
Shadow Demon Series by Sara Cannon
This is my current series that I am reading and every book is free on iTunes which is a bonus. It consists of 8 books and is about the existence of shadow demons in a small town. It is very much a young adults novel and not surprisingly it includes a little romance with a 'bad boy' as he is refereed to by the other characters. The main character has had a hard life but finally feels like she has a place when she moves to a new town and realised she was born a witch. As she learns more about what she is and what the town have planned for her, her willingness to become what the town want her to be becomes too much. I am currently on the 3rd book and I am loving the series, each book isn't very long so you get into the plot very quickly and aren't waiting around for something to happen.
This book is good for people who like romance, magic and mystery.
The Dimily Series by Estelle Maskame
This is my favourite series I have read in a very long time. It consists of 3 books, Did I mention I love you, Did I mention I need you and Did I mention I miss you which is released at the end of July. This book is about true love which isn't considered the norm as the characters involved are step siblings who hated each other at first. Eden and Tyler are my OTP and you see their relationship grow through the books overcoming obstacles like parents and other partners. I have been waiting what feels like a year for the last book in the series to come out and I don't know if I'm ready for it to be the end.
This book is good for young people who like romance and drama.
The Sullivans Series by Bella Andre
This series was one of the first book series I read on my Ipad and I become totally obsessed with it, reading the books in 2 days and then buying the next one start after. There are 17 books in total in the series and I had read 7 before I had to stop because it was taking over my life. Each book follows a member of the Sullivan family find love with the most unexpected people, I am not ashamed to say I feel in love with the male in each book. Each person has their own problems and life challenges which mean they've never been serious with anyone before which makes the events in the books so much more intense.
This book is good for people who like romance, drama and adult themes. (very naughty!)
The Silence Series by Natasha Preston
This is a more serious series which really pulled on my heart strings. This series of 2 books follows a girl called Oakley who hasn't talked since she was a 5 and is trying to finding her way in life and romance but at the same time holding back a secret that would rip her family apart. It made me so emotional and had me rooting for Oakley the whole way through. Her romance with Cole is the purest, cutest thing I have ever seen and his willingness to do anything to protect her made me fall for him.
This book is good for people who like romance, drama and adult themes.
So what have we learned today? I fall in love with every male character I read in books apparently... I have to give credit to the authors for making the characters so real! I have focused on the series' that I have read in this post but I have plenty more stand alone books on my iPad that I can talk about if you are interested. Also if you have any good recommendation on young adult romance books, leave them in the comments below!
