Some bonds can never be broken

One terrible moment changes everything for teenagers Kate and David. Brought together during the darkest of times, a spark of hope is ignited between them – a hand held in the darkness, a promise whispered. Neither of them will ever forget those moments.

With so much at stake, have they missed their once chance at happiness? They only way they will ever know is to risk everything to be together. Is that too high a price to pay for love…?

Shaz's Book Blog is 9 today 📚

I can't believe that it's that time of the year again especially when this year has been such a strange one but I couldn't let my blog anniversary go by without doing a giveaway to say thank you for all your support over the last 9 years. 

As you may have noticed I have been struggling with reading and blogging over the last year or so but thankfully the blogging and book community are always on hand for moral support, both in good times and the bad. And on that note I want to give a massive shout out to my blog sidekick Emma to thank her for her friendship over the years and for her fab reviews... she has single-handedly carried the blog over the last few months whilst my reading and blogging mojo has gone AWOL... if anyone knows where it is, can you send it back my way!  

In previous years I have run a number of giveaways between the anniversary date until Halloween but sadly this year I can't afford the cost of postage for multiple parcels so instead there will just be one combined giveaway for this bundle below.

Irish Fiction Month Sneak Peeks: Emma Heatherington - One Night Only

Having read all of Emma Heatherington's previous books, including her books written as Emma Louise Jordan, I was definitely interested in finding out more about her new book, One Night Only, when I saw on Amazon that it was being published on 28 March.  Fortunately Emma kindly provided me with the synopsis and book cover and it sure sounds like it's going to be another cracking read from Emma.
