A murderer is loose on the streets of Manchester. Nicknamed The Pusher, he is responsible for the deaths of several gay men before changing his victim type to those with unpleasant pasts.

The police speculate that there are in fact 2 killers as the choice of victim has changed, that the original Pusher became a victim of the new one who is seeking revenge on society’s evil.

Jordan disappears one night and it is believed that he ended up in the canal. No body is found and his mother Emma is distraught. Jordan does not fit in with either victim type so the police are confused. Neighbour Jade knows things about Jordan but is keeping quiet. Secrets begin to unravel, leading to shocks for his mother.

Lead police officer Carrie Flynn has her own demons to face. Her whole life has been dominated by an unsolved crime and she joined the police in order to find the person responsible for destroying her family and happy childhood.

The narrative style of this book is non linear and I personally felt that this made the book seem a little disjointed. However, I believe this was the effect that author J.M. Hewitt was trying to achieve as it leaves the reader making the same realisations as the characters in the book and helps us to identify with them.

The emotional impact on Emma is almost painful to read as a mother myself. The despair and fear feels so raw and is well written. Equally good is the anguish faced by Jade as she struggles to deal with past events and reconcile them with her friendship with Emma.

Most of the book is written from the third person perpective so we see how Emma and Jade cope with the revelations about Jordan, as well as the how the police are responding to developments in the case. We do see the occasional first person viewpoint from the Pusher which makes him even more mysterious!

The Night Caller focusses more upon the emotional impact on Jordan’s family rather than on the police investigation. This has the effect of making it more personal but means we don’t get to know the police characters very well. The big reveal about Carrie’s past comes at the end of the book and sets up for future books.

Description:

Detective Carrie Flynn has spent twenty years searching for her little sister, who was kidnapped and never found. The worst part for Carrie is that she was with Hattie on that hot summer day. Carrie saw her sister’s abductor, but she was just a little girl herself, and remembers nothing. She will never forgive herself for letting Hattie down.

When the chance came to join the police force, Carrie didn’t hesitate. She would solve missing person cases and fight for justice – no more families stuck in limbo, no more grieving mothers, no more sisters growing up alone… But now a serial killer is stalking Carrie’s hometown of Manchester: late at night, people are going missing down at the canal. Six years, a dozen disappearances.

When another victim is taken, Carrie is sure the family is hiding something and she’s determined to find out the secret behind their silence. Why does the mother not want to answer Carrie’s questions? Who is the mysterious girl next door? Carrie knows that to track down the killer, she must find out everything she possibly can about the innocents they have chosen to hunt.

Carrie holds on to one fact: last year, standing by the water, she caught a glimpse of the killer, and the distinctive tattoo on his arm. He slipped through her fingers, but she won’t let it happen again. She’ll never stop searching, for the grieving families, for her belief in justice, and her hope that, one day, something she finds will lead her back to her lost little sister.

Can she finally solve the case that has cast a long shadow over her career and will the demons in her own past help her to catch this deadly killer?

If you love Val McDermid, Robert Dugoni or Angela Marsons you won’t be able to put down this dark and twisty thriller. J.M. Hewitt will keep you guessing until the very last page. 

Author Bio:

J.M. Hewitt writes crime fiction and is the author of two previous crime fiction novels and has been published in two short story publications. Her work usually incorporates twentieth and twenty-first century events and far flung locations, and her novels explore the darker side of human behaviour.
In contrast to the sometimes dark content of her books, she lives in a seaside town in Suffolk with her dog, Marley.

When she was ten years old she’d read all the books she owned, all those on her mother’s bookcase and everything the library had to offer. She decided the only course of action to take was to write her own stories. Thirty years later, she is still writing them.

We are reunited with the Bradens, yay! Well, one of them at least until almost halfway through the book!

Savannah Braden has just found her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Determined to clear her head, she gets away from the city and goes on a survival course with no contact with the outside world. Group leader Jack Remington is still devastated by the death of his wife, for which he blames himself.

Jack and Savannah instantly feel attracted to each other and fight their feelings. But the urge is too strong…

Back in the real world, can they overcome their issues to begin a proper relationship?

Readers who are already familiar with Addison Cole’s books will feel right at home with this one. The main characters are both trying to overcome sadness in order to move forward together and truly be themselves.

The chapters are mostly split evenly between the two lovers’ perspectives so we catch a glimpse of their emotional turmoil which helps to explain their actions before seeing the repercussions of events from the alternative viewpoint.

Jack and Savannah both have issues in their personal life which need to be addressed before they can find happiness. He needs to rebuild relationships with his family that he shut out due to his grief after the death of his wife.

As always, it is lovely to catch up with the lead characters from previous books featuring the Bradens and trying t work out which member of the family will be the focus of the next book 🙂 However, the book is also contained so works perfectly well as a standalone.

This book has less steamy details of the physical side to their relationship but the sex is implied so up to your own imagination!

Promise of a New Beginning is a careful balance of love and lust, hope and heartache, sexiness and sweetness.

Take a look at my reviews of the other Braden books:  A Love So Sweet, Our Sweet Destiny, Unravelling the Truth About Love, The Art of Loving Lacy

In PROMISE OF A NEW BEGINNING…

After having her heart broken by a country music star, Savannah Braden has sworn off men. She takes a break from her fast-paced Manhattan lifestyle for a weekend at a survivor camp to rebuild her confidence and readjust her priorities. But when she meets the handsome guide, Jack Remington, she’s drawn to everything about him–from his powerful physique to his brooding stare–despite the big chip on his shoulder. Powerless to ignore the heated glances and mounting attraction, Savannah begins to reassess her hasty decision.

After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Jack Remington found solace in the Colorado Mountains. This solitary existence allows him to wallow in his guilt and punish himself for having made a decision that he believes cost his wife her life. He never expected to want to return to the life he once knew–but then again, he never expected to meet gorgeous, stubborn, and competitive Savannah Braden.

One passionate kiss is all it takes to crack the walls the two have built to protect themselves, and allow love to slip in. While Jack fights his way through his guilt, and struggles to get back into the lives of those he left behind, Savannah is there to help him heal, and together they nurture hope that they’ve finally found their forever loves.

Treat Braden wasn’t looking for love when Max Armstrong walked into his Nassau resort, but he saw right through the efficient and capable facade she wore like a shield to the sweet, sensual woman beneath. One magnificent evening together sparked an intense connection, and for the first time in his life Treat wanted more than a casual affair. But something caused Max to turn away, and now, after weeks of unanswered phone calls and longing for the one woman he cannot have, Treat is going back to his family’s ranch to try to finally move on.

A chance encounter brings Treat and Max together again, and it turns into a night of intense passion and honesty. When Max reveals her secret, painful past, Treat vows to do everything within his power to win Max’s heart forever—including helping her finally face her demons head-on.

She’s spent forever trying to deny her attraction to headstrong, too-handsome-for-his-own-good cowboy Rex Braden. The last thing she needs is that particular man complicating her life.

Fiercely loyal Rex Braden has never put anyone or anything before his family. Despite the irate family history, sparks fly between Rex and Jade, unleashing fifteen years of stifled, forbidden love—and causing the rebel in each of them to rear its powerful head.

Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break–working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and–just maybe–explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.

Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.

When Josh and Riley’s friendship heats up, every steamy kiss, and every passionate caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley’s mentor accuses her of stealing the design.

The Art of Loving Lacy (Sweet with Heat: Weston Bradens, Book 4)

Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden. But how could she ignore the six-foot-three darkly handsome god who tagged and researched sharks for a living—and made every nerve in her body tangle into an overly sensitive knot? Even her fear of sharks could not suppress their intense attraction.

As founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.

More than a year—and hundreds of flirty texts, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.

The Art of Loving Lacy is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you’d expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language.

And Then There Was Us (Sweet with Heat: Weston Bradens, Book 6)

Brianna Heart has a six-year old daughter and a twelve-year plan to keep her life as simple as possible until Layla turns eighteen. That means swearing off relationships and the drama that goes along with them, working two jobs, and being the best mother she can be.

The last thing Capital Series Grand Prix racer Hugh Braden wants after dating media-hungry leggy models and money-hungry fan girls is a blind date. But how could he turn down a favor to one of his best friends? Hugh expected the date to go poorly, but he didn’t expect to be intensely attracted to the beautiful brown-eyed bartender who completely blows him off—and steals his every thought thereafter.

When Brianna’s perfectly orchestrated life turns upside down, Hugh is there to help, softening the turmoil, and maybe even rescuing her heart from the lonely place where it has been hiding. Can a man who doesn’t believe in fate and a woman who doesn’t believe in true love find happiness in each other’s arms forever?

We return to the English countryside which featured in Emma Davies’ previous book The House at Hope Corner, and are reunited with Flora and Ned who have successfully established the flower farm. They are expecting students to arrive and help them for the summer but are disappointed when the students let them down at the last minute.

Amos Fry arrives searching for somewhere to stay in exchange for work. He lives a nomadic lifestyle, travelling from place to place and helping other people to find the peace which eludes Amos himself.

Grace lives near by and is in an unhappy marriage to celebrity Paul. She has reached the limits of her tolerance after discovering yet another affair and demands a divorce. Paul retaliates by beginning the process to sell her beloved home and separate Grace from her bees.

Can Amos rebuild hope as well as the farm buildings or will his own secrets get in the way?

This was a lovely book. It was great to catch up with the characters from the last book and see that their angst and hard work had paid off. New characters Amos and Grace are instantly likeable, making their problems more engaging. I had no idea what Amos could be hiding and the reveal is so sad.

The ending of The Beekeeper’s Cottage was a little saccharine and twee for me. I wanted Grace to come out fighting against her ex, and whilst she did stand up to him, I thought she should have been stronger.

It was interesting to find out more about bees and Emma Davies clearly evokes an English summer through her descriptions making it a fab read to enjoy in your garden in the sun!

Description:

Comforted by the gentle hum of the beehives at the bottom of the garden, Grace drains the last of her tea and walks slowly back towards the little hillside house she adores. Her marriage is over, but is it too late to start her life again?

Beekeeper Grace thought throwing out her cheating husband would be the hardest thing she ever did. But when she opens the door to a property developer one morning, it’s clear that keeping her beautiful home and garden – her only sanctuary throughout her miserable marriage – will be the greatest challenge of all…

Fleeing to her best friend at the farm next door, Grace blurts out all her problems, only to be overheard by Amos, a handsome, free-spirited visitor with a twinkle in his eye. Fascinated by Grace and her bees, Amos offers to stay in the village of Hope Corner, to help turn her home into a guest house in return for lessons on beekeeping.

As Grace shows Amos how to nurture a hive and harvest honeycomb without getting stung, he is charming but secretive. He never stays long in the same place after an incident in his past involving a mysterious woman named Maria. But as their eyes lock over a jar of homemade honey, Grace can’t help feeling that she’d really like him to stay…

Determined to dispel her growing suspicion that Amos is running from something serious, Grace goes in search of the truth about Maria. But when she finds it, will she still want Amos to put down roots in Hope Corner, and will they still have a house to return to? 

No matter how far they travel, bees will always find their way home…

An absolutely perfect feel good romance for readers who adore Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Debbie Johnson.

Author Bio:

After a varied career, Emma Davies once worked for a design studio where she was asked to provide a fun and humorous (and not necessarily true) anecdote for their website. She wrote the following: ‘I am a bestselling novelist currently masquerading as a thirty something mother of three.’ Well the job in the design studio didn’t work out but she’s now a forty something mother of three and is happy to report the rest of her dream came true.

After many years as a finance manager she now writes full time and is far happier playing with words than numbers. She lives with her husband, three children, and two guinea pigs in rural Shropshire where she writes in all the gaps in between real life. It’s a county she adores, her love of its beautiful people and landscapes providing endless inspiration for her books, and in fact the only thing that would make Shropshire more idyllic is if it were by the sea.

Excerpt:

My review:

Emily and Drew meet in Hawaii and instantly have a physical and emotional connection. But both have been widowed (but don’t want to tell each other) and are worried about starting a new relationship so they agree to not mention anything from their outside lives, instead living in the moment and enjoying their holiday passion.

But back from vacation, they meet up again. Both have secrets which are now seeming more like lies due to the lack of sharing agrrement they made in Hawaii (hence the tilte of the book). Can they forgive each other? Can they be honest with themselves?

I admit to a little bit of snobbery. I would not usually choose this book due to the cover (I know, I know, never judge a book by its cover!) I made the assumption that it would be shallow and based on physicality.

Yes, Accidental Lies was steamy and sexy. But it was also very emotional and much deeper than I ever would have judged from the cover. I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed this book and will be reading more from this author and from books with similar covers: lesson learned!

Dana Mason has created well rounded characters in Emily and Drew, and knowing the heartache they have both experienced, we as readers have our fingers crossed that they will overcome the barriers that they themselves have put in place.

Accidental Lies by Dana Mason 

Amazon: https://geni.us/B07RP1QGH3Social

A blissful week on the beautiful island of Maui is exactly what I need…
I haven’t got away in years.
Not since the tragedy that’s overshadowed my life.
Not since my heart cracked into two.
But when I finally take the plunge, what happens?
I get locked out of my hotel room.

The first person I lay eyes on is a golden-eyed guy who’s all kinds of rugged.
Rugged in a dirty-sex kind of way.
The best kind.
Chocolate-brown hair, sun-kissed skin, a sexy dimpled smile.
A built body that I want to run my hands all over.
And that takes me by surprise.
He’s the first man that’s caught my eye in a long, long time.
I’ve never been able to get past the pain that haunts me.
But this man makes me think I might be able to forget.

Four cocktails later, our chemistry is hotter than the Hawaiian sun.
We’re pressed against each other in an elevator.
Soaking wet after being caught in a tropical storm.
I’m moaning in his arms, hands fisting his hair.
Then we spend the rest of our vacation unwinding and undressing…
We have just two rules:
No talking about our lives back home, and this is just a fling.
That means I can’t tell him about the heartbreak I fight every single day.
I can’t reveal my secret.
But when the sun sets on our trip, can we bring ourselves to say goodbye?
I have a feeling he’ll be tempted to break the rules.
The question is, after years of shielding my heart, will I be able to let him in?
And even if I do, will I want him when I find out who he really is?

This is a full-length, standalone romance with some hot-under-the-collar action, no cheating and a guaranteed HEA. For fans of R.S Grey, Whitney G. and Vi Keeland,Accidental Lies features a hot AF alpha and a sizzling will-they-won’t-they love story that will have you totally addicted!

Kelly is a mum stuggling with uncontrollable anxiety, her twin daughters starting school and the sleep deprivation caused by her 3 month old son. The only way she can reassure herself is through counting to 20: obsessive compulsive behabiour which is having a significant effect on her life.

Through flashback chapters we are shown her incredibly sad childhood. She was unloved by her parents who fostered other children to whom they displayed great affection. These chapters were heartbreaking to read as you feel young Kelly’s rejection.

One day, Freya is brought to be fostered and the parents are joyful. So is Kelly as she finally has a sister: someone to love and be loved by. There is a secret in Freya’s background and she reveals to Kelly that she killed her sister.

Freya comes across as very manipulative and selfish but it is important to remmber that she is just a child and has been seriously emotionally damaged by her past, whatever the truth of it may be.

Out of teenaged jealousy, Kelly lies about Freya, with devastating consequences. Now in the present day, Kelly struggles to cope with what she did. Then strange things start to happen: is it all in her mind or not…

We Were Sisters is quite an extraordinary book in that it manages to be an intense psychological thriller as well as a deeply emotional tale with desperate sadness at its heart. There are plenty of twists and unexpected turns: several times I made assumptions about what was coming up but I’d been cleverly misdirected!

Author Wendy Clarke has created flawed but likeable characters. Kelly’s past is skewing her behaviour and relationships in the present. Her need to give the children the childhood she never had is driving a wedge in her marriage to Mitch.

The overwhelming and relentless nature of motherhood is described well in this book. Maternal mental health is an important social barrier which is gaining attention in the media. Kelly’s experience, and that of her own mother, highlights how dangerous it can be to have a perfect ideal of parenthood.

On a personal note, I really related to the main character of Kelly. Before I had children I was almost crippled with anxiety and exhibited the same behaviour using numbers for security that Kelly experiences in this book.

Description:

I turn to where I left my baby in his pushchair and pull up short. With a racing heart, I look around wildly, fear gripping my stomach. I only looked away for a moment. The pushchair and my baby are gone. 

Kelly is taking her twin daughters to their first day of school, ushering them into the classroom, her heart breaking to think they might not need her any more, when she turns around and sees that her newborn baby is gone.

As a desperate search ensues, baby Noah is quickly found – parked in front of a different classroom. But when Kelly reaches forward to comfort him, she finds something tucked beside his blanket. A locket that belonged to her sister Freya. A locket Kelly hasn’t seen since the day Freya died.

And then Kelly’s perfectly-ordered life begins to unravel…

We Were Sisters is a heart-pounding suspense thriller that will grip you until the very last page. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to stop reading this incredible book.
