Only Isla by Bronnie Thomas

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #LBTContemporaryRomance Only Isla has a pretty front cover and I like the title it goes well with the book. The story about Isla who is grieving from the loss of losing her parents, and then she discovers a secret she has a brother. This is a contemporary romance genre and is a very sweet book and I like Isla instantly. Only Isla is a cosy and heart-warming read. The story is written well and engaging from the start. There are some good twists and turns in the book. Only Isla is a great and enjoyable read that you will not be able to put down. 5 stars. I not read any books from Bronnie Thomas before, and I will defiantly be reading more. Blurb Isla Munroe, a stalwart of sustainable British fashion, is grieving the sudden loss of her parents when she discovers a secret her mother has kept from her – she has a brother. Her excitement turns to horror when she learns he’s none other than Alex Rutherford of the Rutherford Group, whose empire includes global fast-fashion chain, Halo. Isla is drawn into the family fold by her charming nieces, Em and Harri. Alex’s beautiful wife is something of an enigma, and while Isla can’t quite figure her out, the beginnings of a friendship blossom between them. Alex appears to want a relationship with Isla, but they bang heads on almost every occasion, leaving her angry and uncertain of her future in the family. And then there’s the complication of Alex’s best friend, the lovely, big, charismatic Will. There are a thousand reasons why she shouldn’t, but Isla finds herself falling in love with him. When events take a tragic turn, and Isla and Alex finally lock horns, she must decide if she wants to fight for her place in his family, or walk away for good. Author bio Bronnie Thomas writes stories about women and the challenges they face as they endeavour to find their place in the world. Originally from Invercargill in New Zealand’s South Island, Bronnie now lives in Christchurch with her husband Matt, and their children, Henry and Ella. She studied English Literature at the University of Otago and followed this up with diplomas in Journalism at Wellington Polytechnic, and Speech and Drama at Trinity College, London. Bronnie worked in public relations before becoming a mother and CEO of the Thomas family unit. When she’s not writing, Bronnie spends her time falling into rabbit holes as she seeks out information on how to function in today’s world, including, and not limited to: how not to stuff up parenting (hard), how to fuel hungry teens (constant), how to stick to healthy habits (very hard), where to travel next (fun), what books to read (joyous); and last but not least, how to stay sane (impossible)!

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory.

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening ...

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
