Another day, another blog tour – and another book I’m rather sorry I couldn’t make room for on my reading schedule. Beginnings by Helen J. Christmas is the first in a five book series – Same Face Different Place – and I do rather like the fact that it should appeal to romance and thriller readers alike.
Beginnings is a romantic thriller set in the criminal underworld of 1970s London. Eleanor Chapman is 16. She has no idea her father is employed in a world of organised crime until the day he is forced to go on the run, leaving her at the mercy of dangerous people.
Her life is spiralling out of control yet on the night she plans to escape, she stumbles across a mysterious prisoner. His name is Jake, a rock musician from Holland and he has a contract on his life.
Their daring escape across London eventually draws them into a place of hiding before Jake’s chilling story begins to unfold. He was the one vital witness to a sinister scene leading up to the death of a British MP and now those responsible want him silenced. As two young people, thrown together by fate they develop intense feelings for each other. It does not take long for Eleanor to realise that she will do anything possible to keep Jake alive.
Their tender love bond keeps you turning the pages as they live on a knife edge, desperate to escape London. Will they outrun the deadly enemies who stalk them? Or are the people at the top more powerful than they think?

Getting on top of that TBR is impossible isn’t it?
For every book I manage to fit in, there are another half dozen I SO wish I could!
At least! It’s so frustrating…
Thanks so much for featuring me on your blog, Anne and for sharing it. This is my first blog tour and I am really enjoying it. Much appreciated 🙂 x
It was a real pleasure Helen – and although I couldn’t fit it in this time, I’m delighted to see some lovely reviews popping up on other blogs. Next time you tour, I’ll try to do a little more! x
I saw another write upon Sam Face the other day. I found it quite intriguing. Going to add it to my list now. Hopefully I’ll get to it sooner rather later!
Thanks very much for your interest.
