****3 stars
I liked the idea of this book as cosmetic surgery isn't something I would normally reach for as subject matter. I liked the main characters, and actually found myself trying to talk sense to the characters. lol. Definitely a light read and enjoyable.
Book Jacket Summary:

With London's biggest tabloid on board and her very own column tracking Jeremy's progress from dud to dude, Serenity is determined to be a success. But when Jeremy's surgery goes drastically wrong and she's ordered to cover all the car-crash goriness, Serenity must decide how far she really will go for her dream job.

Not Without You by Harriet Evans
***** 5 stars Loved!
I enjoyed this book immensely. It had suspense and twists and a wonderful storyline. It was hard to put down and sad to finish. As always Harriet Evans puts out a book you won't want to miss.
Book Jacket Summary:
Sophie Leigh’s real name is Sophie Sykes. But she hasn’t been called that for years, not since the surprise hit of a budget movie. Now she’s LA movie star Sophie Leigh, she can forget all about her old life near Swindon. But in the process of leaving it all behind, she’s lost something of herself, too.
Eve Noel didn’t choose her new name. A Hollywood man did. In fact, he makes all the decisions about her. What to wear, when to smile, who to love. A product of the 1950s, Eve has none of Sophie’s modern self-confidence, but she knows she must follow her heart. One day, she simply vanishes: no-one knows where she went, or why…
As Sophie’s perfect-on-the-outside world begins to crumble, it seems her life might be linked to Eve’s. As past and present collide, Sophie must unravel the mystery around Eve’s disappearance to save them both – but is she already too late?

The Guest List By Melissa Hill
**** 5 stars
I absolutely adore Melissa Hill's books, there is something about sitting down with one of her books and the absolute escape I get to enjoy. This book held true as her others and I found myself enjoying the characters and feeling a part of the story. I was sad to see this one end and look forward to her next one :)
Book Jacket Summary:
When funny, kind and gorgeous Shane proposes, Cara is over the moon, and can't wait to share the news of their engagement with all their friends and family.
Excitement, however, quickly turns to apprehension when it seems that everyone has a fixed idea of the perfect wedding and offers to 'help' with the planning. With tussles over the ceremony and the size of the guest list, sibling rivalry and insistent in-laws-to-be, Cara can see the vision she has of her big day being ripped to shreds.
So she and Shane determine to make a stand and do things their way. But when they announce their plans for a beach wedding on a beautiful Caribbean island, there is uproar. Threats are made, family secrets are revealed, and things turn decidedly stormy.
Will Cara and Shane manage to overcome all obstacles? Or will their dream wedding turn into a nightmare?
