If there is one book you read this year, Barbara O'Neal's THE SECRET OF EVERYTHING is it.Devoured in a day and a half (no mean feat for a busy mum and writer!) I fell into the richness of the story-the food, the scenery, Barbara's evocative way with words and the lush characters.
And they are lush. Lush with reality and life experience and heart-ache, so poignant in parts I cried (and I rarely cry when reading.)
While Tessa is troubled, I wanted to be her, for the simple fact she got to be with Vince.
As a hero, he is magnificent.
Single dad of 3 girls, he is beyond sexy. Thanks to Barbara's amazing way with words.
Read this book.
You'll thank me.
What are you reading this week?

Hope everyone's feeling better! :) Me, I'm reading Stolen Fury by Elisabeth Naughton. Well, trying to, need a couple extra day moments in the day. :)

Kids are better, I'm worse! No surprise, immune system shot at the moment, need a good pick me up :)
Let me know how that book is, Lois. I've seen ads for it.
Hiya, Nicola,
At the moment, I'm reading "the other side of me"--Sidney Sheldon's autobiography--a fantastic read. It was after reading "If Tomorrow Comes" as a young teen that I knew I wanted to be an author.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs,
Monique
I remember reading Sidney Sheldon's 'Master of the Game' as a teenager and being blown away.
Haven't read anything for his for ages...his autobiography would be fascinating!
Thanks for the recommendation.
