Books Read: Georgie Carter - The Perfect Christmas

Source - Bought (Sainsburys)

All I want for Christmas is you!

If you're a wedding planner it's best not to have affairs with married men.  This is a view that Robyn Hood (yes, her  parents really did call her that) would subscribe to.  But then she meets Jonathan...

After a delicious dalliance in the dance studio, Robyn and Jonathan fall truly, madly, deeply in love.  Jonathan justifies his actions because his wife is a workaholic, while Robyn finds the glamour - free from any mundance concerns - thrilling.

But then the pressure mounts up: the guilt, the lies, the strain of it all.  With the festive season approaching, can Robyn make this the best holiday ever or will it be the nightmare before Christmas?

Sisters - best friends or deadly rivals?

Deeley is the girlfriend of a Hollywood hunk - a secretly gay Hollywood hunk. But when her 'girlfriend' contract is up, his cut-throat publicist wants Deeley out. Dejected and penniless, Deeley heads back to London, where she hopes to re-establish links with her two estranged older sisters - only to find herself struggling with a forbidden attraction.

Devon is married to the nation's favourite rugby hero, and has a successful TV career as the seductive, voluptuos presenter of her own cookery show. But behind the perfect facade, Devon is lonely and frustrated. When a live celebrity cook-off goes disastrously wrong, she flees to Tuscany - and learns a few lessons in the bedroom as well as in the kitchen from an Italian master...

Politician's wife Maxie is fiercly ambitious. She's furious when Deeley sells the sisters childhood story to a gossip magazine, revealing their impoverished roots and their mother's criminal past. Maxie must use all the weapons in her armoury to preserve her image as a future PM's wife and avoid the devastating fallout. But Maxie is only too aware that there are many more secrets Deeley could yet reveal...

Hello from Shaz

Hi,

I'm new to this blogging lark but thought I would give it a go to see how easy/hard it is and as a record of the number of books I buy/read a year ....might regret the latter later ;)

I work full-time for an insurance company so don't get much time for reading but when I'm not working you are likely to find me with a book very close to hand!  Most of the time I have at least 2 or 3 on the go... one in my handbag, one in the bathroom and one on my bedside table ;)

Unfortunately, due to lack of storage space I cannot keep all the books I read so I regularly have a clear out and list books on Ebay, Amazon and on Bookmooch.  Most of the money I earn on book sales simply gets ploughed back into buying more books...I think I'm definitely a bookaholic.
 
I tend to read mainly chicklit/women's fiction with the odd crime thriller thrown in.  Would love to hear book recomendations from any other bookaholics out there.

Hope I haven't bored you!

Shaz
