And everyone loves the way Maddie’s so happy behind the scenes – except Maddie herself.

We Were On a Break: The hilarious and romantic Top Ten bestseller by Lindsey Kelk

Is it a break? Or is it a blip?

‘You’ve just had a holiday,’ I pointed out, trying not to yawn. ‘Wasn’t that enough of a break?’
‘I don’t mean that kind of break.’

There’s nothing worse than the last day of holiday. Oh wait, there is. When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out.

Friends and family all think they’re crazy; Liv throws herself into work – animals are so much simpler than humans – and Adam tries to get himself out of the hole he’s dug.

But as the short break becomes a chasm, can they find a way back to each other? Most importantly, do they want to?

One in a Million: The hilarious and heartwarming love story to escape with by Lindsey Kelk

Everyone wants that special someone…

Annie Higgins has one goal this year: to get her tiny business off the ground. But – infuriated by the advertising agency across the hall making fun of her job – Annie is goaded into accepting their crazy challenge: to make a random stranger Instagram-famous in just thirty days.

And even when they choose Dr Samuel Page PhD, historian and hater of social media, as her target, Annie’s determined to win the bet – whether Sam likes it or not.

But getting to know Sam means getting to know more about herself. And before the thirty days are out, Annie has to decide what’s really important…

Review

Annie has a competitive streak a mile wide, always pushing for the next thing and aiming high. Something that has led to her starting her own Digital Marketing business with her best friend. It’s going well, or it would be if clients paid their invoices on time!

Her personal life is filled with friendships and more work, with her love life in the gutter. Especially when she sees her ex proposing to his new girlfriend before the England football match on TV. But she’s fine, totally fine about it, honestly! A bit of work banter with Charlie (they work in the same building) goes a little too far after he mocks her business. So they come up with a bet to get the next person who walks through the door 20k followers on Instagram in a month.

Dr Samuel Page doesn’t know what has hit him when his usual, quiet life is interrupted by Annie. Offering to help him win back his ex-girlfriend with help and advice, whilst she makes his social media famous. Sam doesn’t do social media, and they have different opinions about many things – yet somehow they manage to spend an awful lot of time together.

A slowish start, with Annie coming across as a bull in a china shop, but once you see her with her family and friends she grew on me. A classic tale of not seeing what is in front of your face until it is possibly too late.

In Case You Missed It: the funny romantic comedy by Lindsey Kelk

When Ros comes home after three years away, she’s ready to pick up life exactly where she left it. But her friends have moved on, her parents have rekindled their romance, and her bedroom is now a garden shed. All of a sudden, she’s swept up in nostalgia for the way things were.

Then her phone begins to ping, with messages from her old life. Including one number she thought she’d erased for good – the man who broke her heart. Is this her second chance at one big love? Sometimes we all want to see what we’ve been missing…

Review

Ros has just returned to the UK after a three-year stint as a producer at an American radio show. She’s keeping quiet as to why she is back suddenly and is in for a shock when her parents have built a garden shed for her to move into rather than staying in her childhood home. Whilst she might be jobless and living in a shed she has her wonderful friends to catch up with.

With a new phone, her friend Sumi suggests sending a group text to all of Ros’s contacts to say hi and that this is her new number. Her previous contacts backed up on the cloud, it sounds like the easy option to let everyone know that she’s home. Whilst this leads to a last-minute job offer, it also prompts her ex-boyfriend Patrick to get in touch with whom she split before heading to America. Her friends aren’t keen on him, but she is longing for a slice of her old, uncomplicated life and suddenly she is meeting up with him and potentially picking up where they left off.

Things have changed with her friends over the years, not least the bar they opt to meet up in. This leads to a new friendship with John the owner who Ros finds easy to talk to. Opening up to him more than her friends, could it be that it’s time to move on from the past and look towards the future?
