New Year, New Love… or Old Love, New Start?
Everyone
keeps telling Frankie Taylor that a new year is a time for new
beginnings. She's not so sure. Single for six months, she's been more
than happy on her own, thanks very much! At least, that's what she
thinks until she receives a note on New Year’s Eve inviting her to
follow the clues, and her heart, across Knightsbridge.
But who's
behind the romantic adventure? Old flame Christian who she loved for
years and was always there for her, or new admirer and work colleague
Zack, who has the habit of turning up in all sorts of unexpected places?
There's only one way she's going to find out…

Kate loves Alf. And Alf loves Kate… Doesn’t he?
Kate
can’t wait for her long-term boyfriend Alf to propose. So he might be a
bit of a control freak who’s obsessed with his career … and he also
seems to have conveniently forgotten their two-year plan to get married,
buy a bigger house and have children. But Kate’s sure that ring will be
on her finger soon.
When her thirty-second birthday ends in
humiliating, proposal-less disaster, even Kate is left wondering if Alf
really is The One. Then Alf’s friend, Marcus, needs a place to stay.
With his dark eyes, easygoing manner and kind concern for Kate, Marcus
is everything Alf is not - and it's not long before Kate begins to
wonder if there’s more to life than diamonds.

Sage’s life as a
teenage runaway in San Francisco is simple: Snatch a few hours of sleep
on park benches and bus stops; dodge perverts, predators, and cops; and
make enough as a street musician to eat. But her world flips upside down
when she meets Derek – hot, tattooed, and charming, a singer from
Seattle whose looks and talent take her breath away.
What begins
as a reluctant partnership quickly develops into a cross-country race
against time - and awakens a hunger in Sage that’s unfamiliar and
exciting.
As they travel from coast to coast, Sage and Derek
pursue their dream, only to discover that they can never run far enough
to escape the demons from their pasts.
I did not intend to write to this blog post but somehow
Rebecca of
Brunette Lifestyle inspired me to do it. I’ve read her wonderful post about
confidence. She has been so honest with herself and to all blogger friends, I really admired that. I think she has a kick ass personality and I am happy for her that she changed her life for the better. This is what I am going to talk about. Change. There are lot things in my life I want to change but never had the strength or courage to do it. It’s time to put myself together because I want to be happy again and enjoy life to the fullest.
Maybe you’re asking yourself why I am sharing this with you. For one reason I want to mix the posts on my blog more often. From now and then I’d like to share something personal with all of you. This post hopefully will help and encourage me to fulfil my hopes and dreams. I’m sure there is going to be a moment in the next few months when all is getting too much and I want to give up about everything I’ve written here. Then I want to back look at this post and remember what I am fighting for.
Get my driving licence
For many people it seems like the most ordinary thing in the world but it’s not for me. The main reason I did not do it when I turned 18 was because I did not had the money. In Germany it’s common that parents or grandparents are paying for the licence but my family never had that much money. I need to save up my own money to pay for my licence (which I did by now). I did get on well without a licence so far. I do have a good public transport to work, vocational school and into town as well. Although I’m limited with my choices and travels. Luckily my mom always had been there for me when I needed her. I don’t have a problem to climb into a car with someone who will to drive me somewhere. However, when I think about to drive myself, it just horrifies me. That’s another reason I’ve always pushed this topic away from me. I still not feel I’m ready for it but it’s about time. No more excuses, just do it! So many people done it as well so I can do it too.
Cate Sanders is a 32-year-old woman living on her own in Atlanta, who’s at a crossroads. After being laid off from her corporate job, she’s determined to find a new career path. To help guide her, she looks to the woman she admires most, Oprah Winfrey. At every new phase she writes a letter to Oprah, knowing in all probability her hero won’t be reading them, but finds hope and inspiration from imagining what Oprah’s words of wisdom would be.
With Amelia Bedelia tendencies and a Chelsea Handler attitude, Cate’s mishaps provide humor, while her relationships give the story depth. Throughout her amusing and heartwarming trials, she searches for the answer to one question. Can she find her purpose in life by pursuing her passion?

Today I'm welcoming Lily Graham on my blog. She published her debut novella
The Postcard in Dezember 2014. I had the pleasure to read it shortly after the pub date. You want to know how much I loved
The Postcard? Then read my 4.5 star review
here.
She always said she’d find a way to let me know that death wasn’t the end …”
When Ivy Everton, a children’s book illustrator, moves to Cornwall to start a new life with her husband Stuart, she gets given her mother’s old writing desk, a bittersweet token from a mother who made childhood magical.
When she clears it, she finds that the desk holds an unexpected surprise; one she wishes, in a way, that she hadn’t found, as wedged in the corner is a blank, faded postcard addressed to her, in her mother’s hand. At first, the postcard serves only to haunt her; a constant reminder of her mother’s last message, now forever silenced, and she can’t help but wonder what unwritten secret lies unsaid.
Yet, as the days pass mysterious inexplicable things begin to happen, odd items go missing from her studio, only to reappear, ethereally transformed in the seemingly empty desk.
Soon Ivy realises that the postcard was never really blank, it was simply waiting … waiting for her to find it.

Harley...
I only wanted a tattoo. A
mark on my body to remind me of who I used to be. Something to hold
onto when I started my penance for all the things I’d done wrong, the
bad choices I’d made by the time I turned nineteen. Instead, I found a
night of possibility, of truth, of hope for the future. And the most
intense physical connection I’ve ever had.
The only one I’ve ever had, and one I will never forget.
Trey...
When
she walked into my tattoo shop, I knew she was like me. Harley had
secrets. She had a messed-up past, and things she wanted to run from, or
forget ever happened. I couldn’t let her go. So we agreed on one night –
to spend it together wandering around the city, getting to know each
other, the clock ticking because we knew tomorrow would bring an end to
the possibility of an us. Unless tonight was only the start.
How can one night be the start of something when tomorrow it has to end?
