Five years older. Five years wiser. Five years down the road, we reconnect with Jake and Lori.Over the years since Bonded Souls, the Silver Lake family has grown and the band have seen their career go from strength to strength.

Fresh off the road after a gruelling tour, Jake has high hopes of enjoying a relaxing summer at home with his family.An unexpected tragedy and an act of betrayal shatters all hopes of that and throws their plans into disarray.

The combination of both results in Shattered Hearts for Jake and Lori and the Silver Lake family. Can they recover from this?

My Thoughts:

I have loved this series and all the characters within the book. In this story we catch up with Lori and Jake ( you need to read the first three books to get a sense of all the characters), their life seems to be going well until tragedy strikes, will they survive it? Another excellent read from a brilliant author.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.

With their wedding vows still ringing in their ears, the new Mr & Mrs Power start a new year with new projects, new tours and a new arrival on their minds.
However, a chance meeting for Jake with, not one but, two of his musical idols ensures life will never be the same again.
A dark twist of fate forces Jake to confront the demons of his past and takes the Silver Lake family on an emotional and intense journey.

As rock ‘n’ roll, love and family intertwine to perfection, will Silver Lake emerge unscathed? Will the bonds of friendship hold true?
Will Jake and Lori remain Bonded Souls?

My Thoughts:

I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have read Coral’s previous novels in this series so was happy to find out I would be reading book 3 for her. I would suggest reading the other two books first so you get a sense of the characters and find out a bit more information about their backgrounds. I couldn’t put this book down, I wanted to find out what happens next and it certainly did not disappoint. I hope Coral has many more books to come as she is such a brilliant writer.

Here are a list of the other books, with their links below:

the missing

This title will be released on April 7, 2016.

You love your family. They make you feel safe. You trust them.

But should you…?

When fifteen-year-old Billy Wilkinson goes missing in the middle of the night, his mother, Claire, blames herself. She’s not the only one. There isn’t a single member of Billy’s family that doesn’t feel guilty. But the Wilkinson’s are so used to keeping secrets from one another that it isn’t until six months later, after an appeal for information goes horribly wrong, that the truth begins to surface.

Claire is sure of two things – that Billy is still alive and that her friends and family had nothing to do with his disappearance.

A mother’s instinct is never wrong. Or is it?

Sometimes those closest to us are the ones with the most to hide…

My Thoughts:

I received an advanced copy of this book, as I have read Cally’s other books I was looking forward to getting stuck into this one. I enjoyed it but not as much as Cally’s other books. I guessed early on about who knew about more about Billy’s disappearance. I wouldn’t say it ruined it for me as there is more than meets the eye, there were twists and turns which kept me gripped. I liked it, I just didn’t love it as much as I hoped I would.

After a successful tour, Jake, Lori and the rest of Silver Lake are busy making plans for the future – new arrivals, new business ventures, new music and a new tour. An unexpected turn of events throws these plans into turmoil.

Life for Silver Lake will never be the same again. Can Jake and Lori maintain their relationship, gruelling schedules and overcome tragic losses? Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to find how strong you truly are.

Friendship, love, family and music dominate this contemporary romance as the Silver Lake family rise from seemingly Impossible Depths. Impossible Depths is Book Two of the Silver Lake series.

My Thoughts:

I was lucky enough to get a advanced copy of this book. After reading book one which is called Stronger Within I was looking forward to getting stuck into this one. The characters are all brilliant and I felt myself getting emotionally involved with them. There is lots going on in this book, but you definitely wont be disappointed. Congratulations to Coral for making this such a fantastic read, well done, I look forward to reading book 3.

He also happens to be the boy she spent her teen years pining after, and Paige is determined not repeat her past mistakes. But the more time she spends with Jake, the more Paige realises the one thing that was missing from her world all along: The perfect New York love story…

My Thoughts:

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I love books by Sarah Morgan they always seem to bring a smile to my face. I loved all the characters in this book, I liked Paige as she had a fall but managed to pick herself up again and I think that was the right thing for her to do. She has some brilliant friends who remind me of my friends as in would do whatever they could for you. I also really liked Jake, I mean who wouldn’t, lucky Paige is what I say. Even though I could predict the ending, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. It may make you a little hot under the collar so be careful where you are reading it. I loved it and look forward to Sarah’s next book.

Stronger Within is Book One of the Silver Lake series.
Lori – in recovery following a serious accident, our fragile heroine is at a crossroads in her life and has sought sanctuary at the beach.
Jake – hard working and with a heart of gold, a struggling musician who is chasing his dreams as front man of local rock band, Silver Lake.
Vulnerability meets rock in this tale of two creative souls following their own paths in life. When their paths collide neither of their lives will ever be the same again.
Stronger Within, set in the small town of Rehoboth, Delaware, is a contemporary love story telling a fast paced tale of rock music, convalescence and unexpected love. It’s a tale of friendship, family and following your heart.

My Thoughts:

This is a new author to me and if your a fan of rock music and romance then this is the book for you. Lori and Jake are the main characters in this book and I love the way their story is believable. This is such a beautiful love story, I reckon the next book will just be as fantastic.

Lose your heart to Cornwall’s Polwenna Bay. Watch fishing boats dance in the harbour, hear the waves breaking on the beach and explore the pretty village where new friends wait and there’s love to be found, warmer than the summer sunshine…Running Away…

Since leaving Polwenna Bay for the bright lights of London, actress Summer Penhalligan has tried her hardest to never look back; Jake, her childhood sweetheart, let her down terribly and the beautiful Cornish village holds nothing but painful memories. It’s only when a volatile relationship threatens to destroy all she holds dear that Summer finds herself returning to the place she knows so well.

Jake Tremaine has travelled the world but reluctantly finds himself drawn back to Polwenna Bay to run the family marina and take care of his unruly siblings. While Jake knows his attention should be on the rescuing the business, determined Ella, daughter of a wealthy hotelier, is set on working her way into his affections and beneath his sheets. The last thing Ella will tolerate is the reappearance of a rival…

As the holiday season approaches and seaside life gathers pace, Jake suspects that Summer is keeping a huge secret from him. But Summer is not the only person in the village with something to hide. Is she just an echo of Jake’s past or are there far more important matters at stake?

My Thoughts:
I was very excited to read and review this book by Ruth herself as I have read some of Ruth’s books before and they are brilliant. From the very first page I felt drawn into the story, there is romance, humour and some really lovely characters who I felt I connected with. The cover looks amazing, really summery and I look forward to the next book. A perfect chick lit for a summer holiday. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ll Take New York By Miranda Dickenson

I’ll Take New York By Miranda Dickenson

Not out till the 4th December 2014

 

Have you ever given up on love?

When her boyfriend lets her down one time too many, Brooklyn bookstore owner Bea James makes a decision – never again! No more men, no more heartbreak, and no more pain.

Psychiatrist Jake Steinmann is making a new start too, leaving his broken marriage behind in San Francisco. From no on there’ll just be one love in his life: New York.

At a party Bea and Jake’s paths cross. United by being the only two singletons there, they make a pact: no more relationships….

But the city has other plans…

My Thoughts:

I loved this book, I have only ever read one of Miranda’s books before and quite liked it. I know it is predictable what is going to happen early on in this book but Miranda has written it well so that it didn’t really bother me.I think the main character Bea is lovely, i mean who wouldn’t fall for Jake he sounds utterly gorgeous and a decent kind of guy. I love the way Bea and her Gran write letters or emails to each other and that it is written in a different font, it somehow makes it extra special. Bit of a shame the plot was predictable but I totally loved it no matter. The cover is gorgeous too, it is a must if you like chick-lit.
