Latest Book Releases Including Gill Paul, Bella Osborne and Katie Flynn

Hello. I hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday evening. It’s time for another week of great book releases. It’s a perfect evening for settling down with a book and like I try to do every week, I wanted to share a few with you.

The first book out today is The Secret Wife by Gill Paul (released by Avon.)
This one sounds great. It appeals to my love of history and I am interested in the history surrounding the Romanov family.
The general information on this novel is a Russian Grand Duchess and an English Journalist are linked by one of the worlds biggest mysteries.
In 1914, Russia is on the brink of collapse. The Romanov family face an uncertain future. The Grand Duchess Tatiana has fallen in love with Officer Dmitri but events take a catastrophic turn that puts everything in danger.
In 2016, Kitty escapes to her Great Grandfather’s cabin. There she discovers a jewelled pendant that will lead to the uncovering of a big family secret.

The second novel out today is A Family Holiday by Bella Osborne.
We took part in the blog tour for this book when it was released on Kindle earlier in the year (to read my review, click here.) I absolutely adored this book and couldn’t put it down. If you’re a fan of Katie Fforde, Carole Matthews or Jill Mansell, you will love A Family Holiday.
Charlie is a nanny to four children. When tragedy strikes, Charlie needs to decide to move on or fight for the children she loves. There is also the added distraction of the children’s uncle, Felix.
Charlie gets the opportunity to have a family holiday to Antigua and this leaves Charlie wondering whether the turquoise seas can wash away to present troubles. A Family Holiday was released today by Harper Impulse.

The House on Sunset Lake is the third novel released today. By Tasmina Perry, it’s released via Headline Review.
This is another one that sounds like I’d really like it. Even by reading the blurb to the book, I can imagine myself in front of this big house.
Casa D’or, the mysterious plantation house on Sunset Lake has been in the Wyatt family for over fifty years. Jennifer returns to it one summer full of hope but by the end, she will have a broken heart. Casa D’or stands neglected twenty years later and Jennifer has closed the door on her past.
A reunion though will stir up old ghosts for both of them and reveal the dark secrets the house still holds.

The fourth novel released is A Leap of Faith by the fantastic Trisha Ashley. I am a big fan of this woman’s novels so I will be reading this latest one in the not too distant future. Her novels are always filled with humour and warmth. A Leap of Faith has been released by Black Swan in paperback today.
Sappho Jones stopped counting birthdays when she reached thirty. However, she is now on the slippery slope to the big forty. She is aware of this thought in her head that she is not far off becoming a single eccentric woman living in a cottage in Wales.
She has the urge to do something dramatic before it is too late. Trouble is, an adventurous woman of her age has been there and done that. The only thing she has not tried is motherhood.
With Nye on hand as a potential daddy/donor, Sappho wonders if it is time to consider the biggest leap of all.

We were excited to be taking part in the blog tour for the next novel out today. Val McDermid’s latest novel in the Inspector Karen Pirie series, Out of Bounds was released by Little, Brown and it is fantastic. (To read our review, click here.)
A teenager out on a joyride crashes a stolen car. A routine DNA test post accident reveals this to be linked to a twenty year old murder mystery.
Karen is an expert in solving the unsolvable so finding the answer to this should be straight forward right?
Karen also finds herself drawn to another case she has no business in solving. She will find the most dangerous kinds of secrets.

The final novel I wanted to mention today was An Orphan’s Christmas by Katie Flynn (released by Century.)
It’s set in Liverpool in 1936. Milly has been abandoned in Haisborough Orphanage. She’s desperate to discover more about her background and in trying to find out more, she befriends another orphan named Lenny. They soon sneak out and roam around the streets of Liverpool whilst hatching their escape plan.
Lenny has no idea where Molly has gone when she is forced to leave the orphanage. He soon forgets about her when the war begins and he begins to focus on his posting with the RAF in Scrimpton.
What Lenny doesn’t know is that Molly is desperate to join the war effort. They may soon see one another again.
I am very much looking forward to giving this book a read.

Some great novels out this week. Which ones do you want to read?

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
