Custody for Two -- Karen Rose Smith -- Book Review

Picked up a Mills and Boon after a long long long time...... :)..... but it turned out to be a decent read.

The story is about two characters........ Dylan Malloy and Shaye Bartholomew.

Dylan is a photographer who loves to travel into exotic places like the jungles of Africa to photograph wild animals....

One day he gets a message that his only family... his sister and brother in law are killed in an accident. The only family he has now is his prematurely born nephew, Timmy. The situation is complicated by his sister's will, which gives custody of Timmy to her friend, Shaye. Dylan's wish to be a part of his nephews life makes it very difficult for Shaye. She keeps worrying that Dylan might take Timmy away from her by filing for custody. So now , they have to find a way to trust each other but the bigger problem was that they needed to deal with their budding attraction.

Karen Rose Smith's way of writing is pleasant and is simple and fun to read. Overall, a decent read....doesnt need too much attention so a good travel read i guess....... :)

A Summer Fling by Milly Johnson -- A Review

Just finished reading " A summer fling" by Milly Johnson.

When Christie takes overs as the head of the Bakery department she changes not just the way the department works but also brings about a difference in the people working in the department.

When dynamic, power-dressing Christie blows in like a warm wind to take over their department, five very different women find themselves thrown together at work. But none of them could have predicted the fierce bond of friendship that her leadership would inspire...

Anna, 39, is reeling from the loss of her fiance, who ran off with a much younger woman. Her pride in tatters, these days Anna finds it difficult to leave the house. Her impending 40th birthday also makes her think as if she is turning 60.....So when a handsome, mysterious stranger takes an interest in her, she's not sure whether she can learn to trust again?

Then there's Grace, in her fifties, trapped in a loveless marriage with a man she married because, unable to have children of her own, she fell in love with his motherless brood. Now, that the children have all moved out and have lives of their own Grace has nothing to look forward to other than the family lunch on Sundays and her Job at the bakery. Will she move on ever from this life to have the faith and courage to start a new life.

Dawn, orphaned as a child, engaged to love-rat Calum, is more interested in the security that comes with his tight-knit, boisterous family? As time passes by she realises that she is just stuck in this relationship.......When a sexy, footloose rock singer catches her eye, will Dawn have the courage to follow her heart?

At 28, Raychel is the youngest member of their little gang. And with a loving husband, Ben, and a cosy little nest for two, she would seem to be the happiest. But like that say every one has their secrets.....and her secrets made her unwilling to open up to any one.....

Chirsty, also has some secrets of her own...... she still mourns her husbands death.... Will she be able to move on?

When Christie walks in as their new boss, the girls realize that they all have been going through some tough phases in life and realize that as long as they have each other for support they can overcome these hurdles.None of them though, quite realized how much they needed the sense of fun, laughter, and loyalty that abounds when five women become friends. It's one for all, and all for one!

Overall, it was a good read. The book has some fun moments which make you laugh, some sad moments and some which make you think. Milly johnson's way of writing is fantastic though , she captures the emotions just right but in some parts you do think that she could have done a little more justice with the words.

Happy Reading. !!!!!
