It’s at this point that if you were close to me you would probably want to hit me when I tell you that I am writing this from my lounger by the pool in Fiji.  Yes, in answer to your question, the weather is amazing. I am feeling totally relaxed having had my latest instalment of vitamin D.  I can honestly say I haven’t looked forward to a trip as much as this one and it has definitely paid off.  I am very relaxed and ready to face the world again when I get home.

I have also managed to lose myself for a couple of days in Louise Bagshawe’s latest book, Passion.  I’ve been transported around the world in an exciting chase for survival, fallen a little bit more in love with my husband due to the love story and have decided that I haven’t worked anywhere hard at getting myself fitter in 2009.

Seriously isn’t this why we buy them. These books certainly don’t require you to have a university degree to read them nor do you really need to concentrate hard. I managed to keep reading this over the laughter and screams from my kids in the pool.  But I have really enjoyed just chilling out and no you don’t have to come to Fiji to enjoy the book.  In fact, this could the very thing you need when the weather is bad and you are looking for an escape. 

I read her book Sparkles and loved it, so I was thrilled when her new book came out just before my holiday.  This has also lived up to Bagshawe’s reputation as a great read.  Remember though, I did warn you that it won’t make Oprah’s best book list but it may just make your life just that little bit more bearable on those dreary winter days.

Passion by Louise Bagshawe

 A failed marriage between Melissa Elmett and Will Hyde did a lot of damage. She was too young, he was hurt when she left him. Years later, Melissa becomes the target for a kidnap plot, a consequence of her father’s ground breaking energy saving invention, and Will is the only man who can protect her. Now they’re on the run, thrown together again by the pursuit of vengeance, will their passion for each other reignite?
