Mix-U{ Under the Mistletoe by Margaret Amatt #Review #GlenbriarSeriesBook11

  We are returning to the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Margaret Amatt's eleventh in her Glenbriar  Series, Mix-Up Under the Mistletoe. This latest festive novel was published on 23rd November by Leannan Press .   She’s always on the outside looking in, but his door might just be the one to open for her this Christmas. ‘Her name’s Tilly. Tilly Thorpe. She lives in London.’   To stop his family from speculating about his love life, travel company CEO Rafe Harrington casually drops Tilly Thorpe’s name as his girlfriend. After all, they’ll never meet – she’s just a name he saw on a rival company’s website. But when Rafe arrives at his family’s home in Glenbriar for Christmas, he’s shocked to find ‘his girlfriend’ waiting for him. He has some explaining to do and so does Tilly. Why did Rafe’s family welcome her with open arms when she’s little more than a spy? Someone who’s trying hard to please her superiors, hoping it’ll bring some desperately desired happiness to h

Up Close and Personal by Kathryn Freeman #Review

I always look forward to a new Kathryn Freeman novel and this one does not disappoint. Up Close and Personal  was published on 12th June by One More Chapter. 





British actor Zac Edwards is the latest heartthrob to hit the red carpets. Hot, talented and rich, he sends women wild…all except one.

Close protection officer Kat Parker hasn’t got time to play celebrity games.  She has one job: to protect Zac from the stalker that seems to be dogging his every move.

Zac might get her hot under her very starched collar, but Kat’s a professional – and sleeping with Zac is no way part of her remit…


My Thoughts

As with all the Kathryn Freeman books which I have read, this novel sizzles with chemistry and I always love how you get to look inside both the central characters' minds. You move from one to the other in a seamless fashion which adds to the story as you get to see both reactions. I totally bought into the story and enjoyed it immensely. 

    Kat is an interesting character who has her lonely, sad moments as well as her brave, sparky side. I liked how she loved her family above all else but had an independent streak and was unquestionably brave. Zac is not your stereotypical Hollywood lead actor. There is much more to him than that and I appreciated how his side of the story unfolded slowly. This is an enjoyable and entertaining read which keeps you engaged from the start.

In short: A bodyguard story with a twist.
 
About the Author

A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero.
I’ve two sons and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), so any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
