Escape to the Northern Lights by Carrie Walker #Review

  I am happy to feature a sparkling wintry read,  Carrie Walker's, Escape to the Northern Lights . It is published today by Aria on November 6th.   Packed with humour, romance and a love affair with nature, Escape to the Northern Lights is a story of transformation, second chances and finding home in the most unexpected places. High-powered lawyer Sara thought she had life figured out – until her whirlwind marriage ends in divorce, her dream promotion slips away and a burnout diagnosis forces her to take a break. Desperate for a reset, she books a four-week spa retreat in Norway, imagining a luxurious escape. Instead, she finds herself in the rugged wilderness of Firefly Forest, knee-deep in reindeer droppings and stuck with an annoyingly bohemian – and ridiculously attractive – outdoorsman, Henrik. What starts as a nightmare turns into a journey of self-discovery as Sara swaps designer heels for bare feet, legal briefs for tree-hugging, and fleeting fling...

Greek Millionaire, Unruly Wife by Sun Chara ** Blog Tour Review & Giveaway** #YearOfSun

Today Sun Chara's contemporary romance, Greek Millionaire, Unruly Wife is featured on Books, Life and Everything. There is also a  great International Giveaway  for you to enter- details are at the foot of this post. 


A tempestuous fling…a marriage…a betrayal?


When Michalis Leonadis’ bride jumps ship at the first sign of rough waters, he’s annoyed. When she costs him a marriage and a billion-dollar deal, he’s furious; but when he discovers she ditched him whilst harboring a secret…he’s out for revenge.

Ex-model, Julia Armstrong gave up everything for Michalis but when she catches him with another woman, crushed, she jets out of his life. The proud Greek blasts back into her world seeking retribution—in exchange for a divorce, he demands she relinquish the one thing she cannot. Her daughter. Only one other bargaining chip remains…Julia herself.



 My Thoughts
This novel sizzles from start to finish and for people who enjoy their romance with a great dollop of sexiness, it will hit the mark. I don't read many books from this genre, but stepped out of my comfort zone and gave it a go, despite its rather clumsy title. It is a fairly short, enjoyable read although the lack of communication between Julia and Michalis did get rather frustrating as they seemed to deliberately misunderstand each other!

    The two protagonists are stubborn, proud and volatile which makes for some explosive scenes between them. There were few surprises in the plot as the reader seems to be able to deduce what has happened even if they can't but if you are after an escapist read with some stunning settings, you will enjoy it immensely.

In short: contemporary romance with attitude.
