Back in March, I had the immense pleasure of discovering The Mercury Travel Club by Helen Bridgett when invited to be part of the blog tour organised by Red Door Publishing. And when I saw that Helen was taking the book on tour again – this time with Rachel’s Random Resources – I really wanted… Read More »

I’m delighted today to welcome author Jenny Harper as my guest on Being Anne. I’ve had the pleasure of reading and reviewing two of Jenny’s lovely books – Between Friends and Mistakes We Make (links are to my reviews) and really enjoyed both – Jenny has a real talent for creating three-dimensional characters who become… Read More »

I had the real pleasure of meeting Katherine Garbera recently, when I had lunch with the Belmont Belles – a warm and lovely lady. And I was delighted to see that Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources was organising a blog tour for Katherine’s latest book, Christmas at the Candied Apple Café, published by Harper Impulse… Read More »

It’s a real pleasure today to be joining the blog tour for Fox Halt Farm, the debut novel from Celia Moore, published on 1st November, and available in the UK and US. For once, it didn’t take a blog tour with Brook Cottage Books to make me aware of this book – I’ve had the… Read More »

I had the real pleasure this week of some on-line chatting with Melanie Price from Head of Zeus/Aria Fiction, and she was telling me about some of their excellent recent and forthcoming books. This is one I thought looked like a lovely read, and might really appeal to some of my readers – Hattie’s Home… Read More »

It’s a real pleasure today to join the blog tour and share my review of Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb, published in e-book and paperback by Harper360 on 5th October. When Helena at Harper360 contacted me about this book and offered me an early e-copy, I’ll admit I did hesitate… Read More »

I can’t believe it took me so long to discover Linn B Halton’s gorgeous writing, but now that I have I’ll make sure I never miss one again. I really enjoyed my time in the Italian sun with The Secrets of Villa Rosso (catch up on my review here), and now I’ve equally enjoyed Christmas… Read More »

Ooh, I do love Christmas! And if I could, I’d happily read every single Christmas romance published – but that’s sadly so impossible. I love the look of The Best Little Christmas Shop by Maxine Morrey, published on 3rd November by HQ Digital – and I’ve been reading some great reviews. Here’s the story: Come home… Read More »

When Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources asked if I could read and review Wide Awake Asleep by Louise Wise, I do wish I could have said yes. I’m a bit of a pushover for something a little different, and I really rather liked the look of this one. If you like the look of it… Read More »

I’m delighted to be joining the blog tour today for The Lido Girls, the debut novel from Allie Burns, published by HQDigital on 2nd October. I sadly just couldn’t fit in the reading of this one – but I’ve certainly added it to my wish list to catch up with later. Escape to the inter-war years… Read More »

A bit of a first for Being Anne today – but when it’s from one of my favourite publishers, Blackbird Books, it’s a pretty safe bet that as well as being a little different it’ll be a little bit special too. Call of an Angel by Patricia O’Toole was published yesterday, 7th November, and is… Read More »

Delighted to be joining the blog tour today for the new romantic suspense novel by Rachel Brimble, If I Want You, published on November 8th by The Wild Rose Press, and available via Amazon in the UK and US. I haven’t had the pleasure yet of reading one of Rachel’s books, but this one really looks… Read More »

It’s a real pleasure today to welcome author Linda MacDonald as my guest on Being Anne. Linda’s been here before – with an excellent guest post on taking a second chance on love. You might also remember my review of the wonderful The Man in the Needlecord Jacket (read it again here) – just between you and… Read More »

When you look at the impressive number of books written by Sara Alexi, it’s rather amazing – although I have several in my kindle library – that I’ve never read or reviewed one of her books before. Her books have many devoted fans: in fact, I queued in the library one day behind a lady… Read More »

I have such a treat for you today! Tomorrow – 2nd November – sees the publication of the paperback edition of Another Woman’s Husband by Gill Paul, one of my very favourite books of this year, as you’ll be able to tell from my review. You might remember that her previous book, The Secret Wife,… Read More »
