The Professional
Classed by my local library service as a ‘modern’ novel The Professional is very different from any other modern I have ever read. Cole’s website actually lists it as Adult Erotica which I believe is far more accurate. Natalie Porter was adopted from an orphanage by a lovely couple living in Nebraska on a farm. She […]
One Christmas Kiss in Notting Hill
Categorised as a romance novel and released by Harlequin, a division of Mills and Boon the renowned romance publicists, this is a departure from my usual material. Honestly I picked it because it said Christmas and I am a sucker for all things Christmassy. Meet Isla and Hannah Winters, two sisters who live in Notting […]

However Kresley Cole has successfully managed to write a romance novel based in a non-supernatural world and I was rather impressed […]

Book 2 in The Lost Angels Series, which means I have come in part way and missed the start but it was still a really good book. I finished it in 2/3 hours while commuting to work earlier this week. This is a fantasy novel, for a bit different to the horror romance novels of Kresley […]
The Bourbon Kings
This books is scandal after scandal sandwiched with intrigue, betrayal, and strange encounters. I don’t watch soaps like Eastenders or programs like The Real Housewives of “X location” but this is what I imagine them to be like. Maybe this is worse?! Tulane ‘Lane’ Baldwine is the third child of the four children in the […]
The Marine 5: Battleground
So this appeared on my Netflix tonight and I thought ohh The Miz (Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin) is in this movie I’ll give it a watch. It is a veritable mine of WWE Superstars. The Miz, Maryse, Naomi, Bo Dallas, Heath Slater and Curtis Axel. I will confess I have not seen the other Marine […]
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets opens with scenes of the International Space Station and the greetings between different countries astronauts, with David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” over the top. (I confess I did not know the songs name just the lines “Ground Control to Major Tom”) These scenes of humans meeting in space […]
