Title: Cock & Bull Author: Laura Barnard:  My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Description: Who knew that owning a pub would come with so many extras?

🌸Title: The Perfect Life 🌸Author: Valerie Keogh 🌸My rating:⭐⭐⭐ 🌸Description: Molly Chatwell has a beautiful house, a handsome husband, two children and a job she likes. It all seems so perfect but when her two children leave for university, she realises her life has become dull and empty. When her husband refuses to go away with her, Molly decides to go alone.

She notices that her husband, whom she claims to love so much looks troubled and behaves in a str...
