Daisy’s love life needs a makeover . . .Beauty therapist Daisy is having one of those days.
She’s just ended things with her boyfriend. Coming home to a huge ‘Sold’ sign planted in their front lawn and hearing him planning to move them into a caravan is the last straw.
To top it off, her greedy landlord, who also happens to be her ex’s best friend, is threatening to ruin her business.
So it’s no surprise a spelling mistake in the butcher’s window is enough to push her over the edge. And fixing it with a can of spray paint from a passing graffiti artist only makes things worse.
The graffiti artist is actually trainee doctor Jackson. Street art helps him to relax when he’s not at his stressful job.
Jackson doesn’t know what to make of the impulsive Daisy, but he can’t get her out of his head.
As Daisy fights to save her business, fate seems to delight in throwing her and Jackson together.
And boy do they make a good team . . . But can a passionate beauty therapist and a sensible doctor really have a future?
My Review
When a chance meeting for Daisy when she steals a spray can of paint from a stranger to correct a spelling (NB: I know how Anni feels when she reads my work.) becomes a story of two people falling in love.
Daisy a beauty therapist who is already under pressure from her landlord to move out of the building so he can turn it into flats. Nevermind the sold sign that’s just appeared outside the home she shares with her soon to be ex Mark.
Daisy’s salon is always busy and along with her two colleagues Molly and Sasha who provides many laugh out loud moments in this novel. They go out of their way when it comes to the customer experience even if Daisy is sometimes unaware of what they and her nephew Robbie are planning.
I like how Anni used the character Robbie to show that even though kids are sometimes screen obsessed. Robbie goes out of his way to help Daisy and not just play Roblox plus there’s that skate board he’s after. At times Daisy also comes across as a second mum to Robbie which I liked as it gave something else to the character dynamic.
Jackson is a trainee doctor and is top of his class, destined for great things, but there is something missing in his life. Until that is he meets Daisy. I liked how Anni made sure that Jackson came across as a real doctor and finds himself doing the things real trainee doctors do and it’s not just glossed over for the sake of the story.
Jackson has his vices of course, he’s a graffiti artist, but he doesn’t just tag places he really draws pictures which make people stop and look one such piece even goes to funding the local fire brigade.
Daisy and Jackson both have busy lives and though there several near misses, Robbie medalling in the proceedings and a dog called Elvis. I really enjoyed reading this book as it took me away from the genre that I’m used to. It was a NICE read and I can’t wait to read more of Anni’s work.

I kinda of feel that this is cheating but the fact I’ve gone back to Cara after finishing The Whole Truth says it all. 
The Whole Truth ties up alot of the loose ends and the plot arch that the books before hand had left. So, I was glad to see the end of that storyline, but then releaved that she continues to use the same characters and style in subsequent books. Having previously listened to the first books on audio I can hear the narrators from the books in Cara’s writing. Which to me tells that the two are perfect for each other.
I hope there is more to come from Adam Fawley and the team, as I need to know more!
After many years of missing out reading books from Angela, I’m glad I managed not one but two this year! Angela has always been more of my MOST FAVOUTIE AUTHORS and every year I miss reading one of her books. I was glad I managed to get two in this year.
Though the fact I’m on book seven and there are 9 / 10 a head of me tells you how far behind I am.
Broken Bones reveals more of Kim Stones’ background and growing up in care homes, and like of all of Angela’s books I found this one a little more heart breaking than the last as it deals with exploration of workers and as well as prostitution. 
Then on top of that there’s a young girls who is befriended by someone over the internet who understands her frustrations with her mum, her parents and her life overall. Does she really know what she is getting herself into?
Dying Truth deals with a private school and an apparent suicide of a student that Kim doesn’t believe to be true and as in all Angela’s books things are never what they seem! Though there is a sad ending to this book as fan cried out THAT ENDING! and I’m only just finding out why! So I really don’t know what to expect from the next book and how the team will cope!
I started to become aware of Will after listening to his podcast “The Writer’s Workshop” and when I found out there was a crime book involving Fire Fighters (I’m married to one) I had to find out more. Moreover I’ve given this book to someone who is a Fire Fighters so we can discuss it afterwards (when he gets round to reading it)
Very cleverly written, someone going around killing the Fire Fighters who were all at a certain fire call but something else is going on in the background that the Fire Fighter’s inadvertently walk into. I loved the new partnership between the lead character’s and can tell there is so much more to come in future books.
I loved this book, it’s got all the elements of a romance read thrown in with my favoutie genre Crime, with of course some mystery on the side. Plus I found this book to be something “different”
I loved this story so much the peak behind the curtain of a rock and roll lifestyle and I’m a sucker for stories when two lonely people end up together (Even though I tend to read crime and thrillers!) I felt a real connection to these character’s who were all betrayed as real people I could relate to, and not “rich people” who were better than me.
As I said in my original review I’d give this book a million stars
What I love about Matt’s books is that he’s started taking “famous” cases and putting a different spin on it, showing us a different angle of what could have gone on and “Demon” is the same. I love the Podcast format, I love the alternative views of what went on I love Matt’s writing in fact I probably love Matt too!
I will read what ever he writes and look forward to the next installment.
I am so glad that he has found a new angle to use for his novels and can’t wait to learn which case he explores next.
what was going to happen next and I really did find a wow factor with this book.
Based on a ski slope, in the snow, in isolation made this an extra haunting read this all these character’s are keeping something from each other STANDARD. Plus they are being haunted by someone they all thought was dead.
There is a scene in this book that I especially love, where two of the main character’s get caught in a game where neither of them wants to say stop and of course it ends up sexual. I really could feel the tenseness and the sexual tension as it crackles through the scenes.
I picked this book up through Net galley, which I have a love hate relationship with, especially when it comes to login. This book offered a look behind the scenes of treating sex offenders in prison. Though a lot of the treatment is now out dated and has changed due to budget cuts. But I found it really interesting about how these people are treated and though there isn’t a magic cured what is done to help them.
This book was especially heart breaking as alot of the character’s had a tough upbringing, which I can’t help but believe contributed to the crimes they went on to commit.
And here’s to 2023’s reading..

horses. A quick disclaimer – all horses in this book are based on horses I’ve known, but, except for Charlie Brown, the Shetland Pony – that was his real name, names have been changed to protect the innocent!
People always tell me that the adrenalin high you get from doing well in competition is the ultimate thrill and worth the anxiety of getting ready to compete. I never agreed. Even the clear-round competition at the local show would have me hyperventilating. 
I was 11 years old, when a lady, my mother worked with, who had a pony, which was a bit of a handful, asked her if I’d like to ride it. Her own daughter had outgrown it, so they’d bought her a horse and needed someone to exercise the pony. I’ve always assumed my mother didn’t understand what a bit of a handful meant at the time, rather than she thought she could afford to lose her eldest daughter. The pony was a rig, with a mind of his own – initially I spend a lot of time on the floor, but it was a great learning curve and I loved him to pieces, spending all my free time at the stables. Eventually, I outgrew him too, but was offered the ride on another horse at the same stables, a lot steadier, and a true gentleman, until a permanent home could be found for him.
riding lessons and hacking out at a local stable for some time, but it wasn’t a considered decision. I didn’t go out that day having decided to buy a horse, but I was told during a lesson that the horse I was riding, would be going to go back to the dealers and not available for lessons the following week. She wasn’t popular with clients other than me, being a head shaker and very green about everything. The deal I struck with my husband was that if I gave up smoking for a month, I could buy her. I never smoked again, I couldn’t, because although I didn’t tell him, I’d already paid for her. 
is by the very talented equestrian artist Lydia Kiernan. I’m not aware that she ever met my horse, but this is just the most picture, it hangs on my wall. It has her facial markings spot on and has really captured her expression. This horse and I clicked, and I just knew I’d found somebody special. There were all sorts of alarm bells that should have rung. She had sarcoids, a cracked hoof, an irregular heartbeat, a dust allergy – I could go on, but the vet took one look at her and asked me what I thought I wanted.
