****4 stars
I had seen alot of advertising for this book and was looking for a book to read. I haven't read a Tasmina Perry book. I really liked this book with the two intertwining stories. I loved the characters and found myself taking this book slow and enjoying it. I will definitely have to look into other books by Perry, if they are well written as this one, I have a new author to add to my favorite list :)

No-One Ever Has Sex On A Tuesday: A Very Funny Romantic Novel by Tracy Bloom
*****5 stars
Ok, I know in the title it says that it is a very funny romantic novel, but they hit the nail on the head. This was a bit of a twist of a plot and very fresh. I truly laughed out loud, found myself squirming and being frustrated in this book. It kept me hooked from the first chapter and I will definitely go back and reread this one again.
Book Jacket Summary:
Childhood sweethearts Matthew and Katy agree they must never see each other again after they end up in bed together following a school re-union. So all is forgotten... until eight months later when a shock meeting at an antenatal class forces them to confront the fact that Matthew could be the father of Katy's baby. Oblivious to the mayhem unfolding, Matthew's highly-strung wife frets over giving birth to twins and Katy’s much younger boyfriend refuses to take fatherhood seriously.
Love and life are messy but Katy and Matthew take things to a whole new level as deep emotions begin to resurface and hormones run riot.
How will they navigate their way through this almighty cock-up?

If you haven't read Lindsey Kelk's I Heart series, you are definitely missing out. I absolutely adore these books and can never wait to see what Angela gets herself into next. I recently loaned my series out to a friend who is now addicted as well. This is a lovely addition to the series and will have you smiling and enjoying the next adventure of Angela.
Book Jacket Summary:
Angela’s planning her very own fairytale of New York…

Once friends start turning up uninvited on her doorstep (and leading her astray), can Angela really have a merry little Christmas? So much for happy holidays – something’s got to give…
