A man's heart - Lori Copeland

I liked this novel. Jules broke off her engagement to Cruz twice before and she returns back from her college when her father passes away. She is not close to her sister Crystal and this story is now about Jules and how she gets back with Cruz, Crystal and also about her close friend Sophia. Jules ends up having to take care of Sophia's two little kids and also a potato farm left to her by her father. I really enjoyed reading this novel :)

The accidental virgin - Valerie Frankel

This was a chickflick novel that I had picked up. Didn't like it much. It is about Stacy Temple , a designer at an online lingerie store, who broke up with her boyfriend one year back and hasn't gone on a date since a year and how she tries to get laid with anyone before that one year is up. It was just okay for me and I didn't quite like it.

The red scarf - Kate Furnivall

This book actually captured me because of its cover and story line. It is set in Russia and is during a very brutal time during communism.


Sophia Morozova and Anna Fedorina are in a Russian labor camp. They both become friends and Sophia vows to get Anna out. Anna had told her about her beau Vasily who she had last met when she was twelve and he was fourteen. Sophia has to escape from the camp and convince Vasily to help her and on the way, there are many interesting things that happen and how she mistakes different people who ultimately all come together to help her achieve her goal.

The first time - Joy Fielding

I was having a hazy feeling when I picked this book that I had read it earlier before. I wasn't 100% sure though, so I started reading and by the first chapter, I realised I had read it before :D to my surprise I hadn't reviewed it here. It is an interesting one and brings up lots of issues. Mattie Hart is married to Jake and has a teenage daughter Kim. Jake is leaving her and is with another woman Honey Novak. Then tragedy strikes and Mattie has Lou Gehrig's disease. Jake feels guilty and comes back and starts living with Mattie and Kim again. Unresolved issues start coming back and the three of them are forced to deal with it. Nice book :)
