Gigi loves books, especially the kind that have any kind of romance in them. She runs a bookshop that only sells romance books.

She also has a huge crush on a guy she never met. 
When she listened to an audiobook of a story that helped their parents get together, she fell in love with the guy reading it, just based on his voice.

Her friends buy her a ticket to England, on a tour bus, run by the guy she is crushing on. She believes that every great love has a great story of how they came together and she believes this is the start of hers. But when she arrives, she is very disappointed, the guy is not there due to some family emergency and is left to go on a tour bus with a bunch of strangers. It's hard to escape disappointment, but after a little while she makes friends with people on the bus. Especially with the driver. They have a special connection, but she is set on how her story should go.

Then the guy arrives finally, and slowly the romance she built in her mind crumbles. He is nothing like she imagined. But, just maybe she can see past the fantasy and notice what and who is really there for her.

It's such an awesome story, I had so much fun reading the book. So many different characters on the bus, each with their own quirk really made the story pop. And then there is Gigi, who goes through huge character development, learning to live, not just reading about living.

I adore the book! Highly recommend it!!!

happy reading,

The Sunset Cove Swimmers by Sian O'Gorman

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Freya just lost her business, her car broke down and is being evicted. As her life crumbles around her, she realises nothing is holding her at Blossomwood.  So she goes to the French countryside. Her estranged uncle died a year ago and his house which should have already been sold is still on the market. The real estate agent that should be the best is no help. With her parents always on the road, she takes it upon herself to clean up the place and sees to the sale.  As she explores the town, she meets all of the wonderful people living there and falls in love with the town and the town mechanic. It's a lovely story, so full of French vibes that it makes you want to move to Provence. There is romance, but the best part was the growth that Freya went through and the small-town vibes. It's a bit long in places with descriptions. However, that doesn't take away the charm of it. rating❤❤❤❤ cover❤❤❤❤ book info series The Blossomwood Bay #2 genre romance, contemporary, adult publ

So she is in magical therapy run by the Denari.  Her life growing up was very sheltered, she never went to normal school or take normal classes. Now her aunties are pushing her to get married to her fake boyfriend, who she can't stand, Philpot. She and her best friend Elle tend to run schemes and cons.
