  Gripping Captivating Exhilarating Contemporary Fiction/Spicy In Deep by Sarah Colliver Writing “Working for the Spanish Underworld, was never been my ideal career choice and I was starting to get the feeling that it would be wise to get out of it altogether as soon as I could”. Tony and Paul were certainly treacherous associates. “If I can just get this one last job done…..”. (Bill) The client and courtesan lines were fast becoming blurred when it came to him. “I’d been at his beck and call for years, and it is regular work, but what I feel for him is much more than I am supposed to, I am supposed to feel nothing”. Receiving payment for emotions, and an act that she has long since given willingly, seems so inappropriate now. (Tate) “He’d never win any awards for father of the year, and yeah, he’s an ok Dad when I see him, but he has always been better at throwing money at a situation, as opposed to giving his time…and just being how a Dad is supposed to be”.

  Engaging Compelling Intriguing Genre: Contemporary Fiction/Romantic/Adventure The Love Island Book Shop by Kate Frost - Author Books had been her companion throughout her life. Brought up as virtually an only child, with parents who had clearly found the restraints of a second child constraining, reading had been her main pass time and a way to escape the loneliness. She’d had a best friend from the age of seven who had been like a sister for a large chunk of her life, but that had been unexpectedly and cruelly taken from her. Owen hadn’t been much of a support at all during the excruciatingly heartbreaking time that followed and all she really had left were once again, her many works of literature, plus her job,, where more of the same awaited, although she actually loved it…and, there was of course, Aisha. Maybe the newspaper advert was a sign, telling her that it was time for a new start somewhere she could get away from all the complications, disappointments and sadness that...
