My Thoughts: Overall I enjoyed this novel especially since I am familiar with where this novel is set.   I also loved that this novel is about a wedding but in a different since.    The novel is not a how to on planning a wedding but what happens when you ha

Heather is giving away a set of her novels to a lucky participant at the Stonecrest Event on May 18th.  Want to know what you have a chance of winning?   My first novel, "Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo", is available for free download from my web site ( http://www.heatherwardell. com/polarbear.shtml ) and most retailers, and I am thrilled to be giving away five sets of my next EIGHT Toronto-series novels to International Chick Lit Month participants. I thought I'd share with you a little something that five of those books and one upcoming one taught me about writing and life. "Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo" - Writing is supposed to be fun. When I began this book in 2005, I had no idea that someday I would be a full-time writer with twelve self-published novels and three more on the way. I had no plans for the book itself, either, so every day after work I sat down with my laptop and started typing to see what happened next. My h

Anita Hughes has a delicious treat in her next novel Market Street .   She weaves a tale of true desires and betrayal. Synopsis: Cassie is the heiress of the famous department store in San Francisco Fentons.   Her husband Aidan is a professor at UC-Berkley in the Economics department.   One day while in Fenton’s she makes a discovery about her husband.     An event that sends her to her best friend Alexis’s home to recover.    There Cassie is asked to confront her future with her husband?   Career? And life?   How will her experiences help her choose her path?    My Thoughts:   The second novel is even better than the first.   Ms. Hughes novel reminds me of the author Judith Krantz and her style of writing.     The plot is a journey for the main character Cassie.   I loved the question that was asked by different characters in the novel.   “What is your passion?”   What do you like to do?   Is this not a question that we all ask and wonder what the answer is f

In this novel we visit the more romantic side of Alexandrea Weis.   Have you ever kept a secret of a secret act?   How well could you keep the secret? Synopsis: Kara visits the St. Charles hotel for a meeting.     This meeting is with Scott Ellsworth a notorious womanizer.   A meeting that she might regret later, or will she?     Kara wants to feel young and in control.   She is a wife to Cal Barton and the mother of Simone.    Her relationship with her husband is not a good one.   Scott persues her at every day at her job and home.   Will Kara find everything she is looking for with Scott?   Will there be a future? My Thoughts: This novel is not what I thought it was.   When you think of a one night stand you think of an affair that lasts one night.   One character persues the relationship more than the other character. The ultimate question then is will they get together?   Well the plot is a little more complicated in an interesting way.    The end is not w

My Thoughts: This novel is more of a romance novel.    I did enjoy it!   I agonized over the decisions that Nora makes throughout the novel.   The novel is beautifully crafted in plot.   Who doesn’t have a mother who means well
