Upcoming release: 'The Piano Man Project' by Kat French!

Finding love isn’t always black and white…

You: kind, piano-playing sex god

Me: hopelessly romantic charity shop manager

Honeysuckle Jones has a problem, and her best friends Nell and Tash are on a mission to help her solve it. She needs a man – a caring, intelligent, funny man. But most importantly, a man who’s good with his hands…

Luckily Honey’s new neighbour – moody, antisocial ex-chef Hal – fails on almost every count. Even though the chemistry between them is electric, he’s obviously wrong for her in every way.

But when Honey discovers the devastating reason for his moods she decides to give him another chance. And discovers that the best songs aren’t always in tune…

I was a part of the blog tour for Kat French's debut novel 'Undertaking Love' last year; a book which I read and was one of my favourites of 2014 (click here to read my review). I'm really excited Kat is releasing another novel this July and I already have my fingers crossed I will enjoy 'The Piano Man Project' as much as I did her first novel!

Upcoming release: 'The Cherry Tree Cafe' by Heidi Swain!

Lizzie Dixon's life feels as though it's fallen apart. Instead of the marriage proposal she was hoping for from her boyfriend, she is unceremoniously dumped, and her job is about to go the same way. So, there's only one option: to go back home to the village she grew up in and to try to start again.

Her best friend Jemma is delighted Lizzie has come back home. She has just bought a little cafe and needs help in getting it ready for the grand opening. And Lizzie's sewing skills are just what she needs.

With a new venture and a new home, things are looking much brighter for Lizzie. But can she get over her broken heart, and will an old flame reignite a love from long ago...?

I already fell in love with the cover of 'The Cherry Tree Cafe' the first time I saw it and it sounds like a great chick lit read. The book will be released on the 16th of July and I can't wait to sit down with it this summer and get to know more about Lizzie, Jemma and the new cafe the two friends are opening. Really excited about this and can't wait to get my hands on my very own copy!

Upcoming Release: 'The Heavenly Italian Ice Cream Shop' by Abby Clements!

Anna and her husband Matteo are ready to embark a delicious Italian adventure. After a year and a half running their ice cream shop on Brighton beach and raising their baby Isabella, Matteo is starting to miss Italy. A shared passion for ices means it's easy to settle on a new business idea - they'll open a shop in the town's cobbled square, a short walk from the sparkling blue sea. For a while, life is sweet; but then Matteo's overbearing family get involved …

Anna's younger sister Imogen feels like things are finally coming together - she's living with boyfriend Finn in a beach house in Brighton, and her photography is taking off. Then her career stalls, and the lure of Capri - and a man from her past - prove difficult to resist. 

Join Anna and Imogen and share a summer on the Amalfi Coast that you'll never forget.

In 2013 author Abby Clements treated us to her lovely novel 'Vivien's Heavenly Ice Cream Shop' and I'm incredibly excited a sequel will be released on the 2nd of July! 'The Heavenly Italian Ice Cream Shop' sounds like a great read, perfect to take with you on holiday this summer. I can't wait to revisit the characters in this new novel, but have also heard from others it's definitely suitable to read as a stand-alone as well. So, if you're still looking for a sunny read to pick up, don't hesitate and add this one to your TBR-list!
