In this case there is an accident and tragically several families are affected. Paul is the Church of Scotland Minister in the parish of Burnbrae and in a […]
When you enjoy an author’s writing, you will endeavour to read as much of their work as you can, whatever it is. In a departure to the mostly historical fiction that Barrow produces, Live and Let is the lively and often humorous telling of a young family’s move to Pembrokeshire and their holiday let. The […]
I chose to read this book as a member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and received a copy from the author. This does not affect my review in any way. I like books of shorter fiction. They often give me respite between longer works and are great when travelling or in waiting rooms. At […]

One of my lovely Advance Copy Readers (thank you, Amanda) contacted me recently to say they had finished reading Hard to Forgive (and thoroughly enjoyed it, thankfully) and were loving the series with all the different aspects of suspense covered in each book. I thought that was an important point to perhaps mention again. When […]
I chose to read Things We Do for Love as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and received a copy of the book from the author. This does not alter my review in any way. This story mainly follows the three Bach sisters; Heather, Daisy and Iris who are planning their father, Sol’s, […]
