The Secrets of Dragonfly Lodge (2025) Rachel Hore "A fascinating story of one woman's fight to be recognised. I loved this delightful novel - strong characters, an intriguing world, a gorgeous setting and an uplifting ending. Perfect! It reminded me of Rosamund Pilcher, the kind of read you get truly lost in."
The Golden Hour (2025) Kate Lord Brown "Kate paints such beautiful pictures with her words, you feel as if you are right there, in the heat and the dust. Epic, sweeping and gloriously romantic, this is the kind of book we have all been longing for, with all the ingredients of a classic page-turner - exotic locations, intrepid women and thrilling adventure. An absolute delight."
Things Don't Break on Their Own (2024) Sarah Easter Collins "A beautifully-wrought story of shattered lives and the bond of true love that mends them. About light and dark; love and not hate, but something more damaging: fear. Exquisite, poetic, intricate and page-turning. Sarah is a ferocious new talent. Simply stunning."
The Midnight Hour (2024) Eve Chase "The Midnight Hour is an intricate family drama with Eve's trademark lyricism, dishevelled, dysfunctional glamour and beguiling characters. I was completely drawn in and held my breath through twist after twist, clinging on to the emotional rollercoaster right to the very last page when I collapsed with a satisfied sigh. Emotionally astute and beautifully descriptive with a plot as tightly sprung as a Swiss watch, this will put Notting Hill back on the map. Absolutely wonderful."
The Honeymoon Affair (2024) Sheila O'Flanagan "A glitzy, glamorous rollercoaster of a romance - hugely entertaining escapism and so satisfying . . . Sheila O'Flanagan at her sparkling best."

Sylvia's Second Act (2024) Hillary Yablon "This sexagenarian-in-the-city tale is brimming with warmth, energy and humour.

Fabulous fun!"

The Family Holiday (2020) Elizabeth Noble "Wisdom, warmth and wit in a sumptuous setting - you won't be able to tear yourself away. Elizabeth's understanding of how families tick is second to none. A summer delight - strawberries and cream in book form. Wonderful!"
Just My Luck (2020) Adele Parks "A modern-day tale of (dis)loyalty and toxic friendships as a dream come true turns into a nightmare. Utterly gripping and fiendishly twisty. You'll never do the lottery again."
The Matchmaker's List (2019) Sonya Lalli "Bright and vivid, and fresh and funny—I was utterly charmed by this insight into Raina's struggle to be the perfect Indian daughter."
