London’s Underground – drug lords, crime and corruption! The Ryan family are London’s criminals and drug lords not to be messed with. But someone is messing with them and they need to find out before it’s too late. People being tracked down and tortured for information. Ruthless killings, foul language. A long story – 628pgs. However, there are detailed accounts of what’s happening and who’s who. Too many characters in the story, but a good read with a couple of twists throughout the story. Need to concentrate to be able to catch on to the plot.

Light-hearted, humourous, flirty and fun! Tom Donovan returns to his home town to establish the truth about his father’s death 20 years ago. The one person who knows the truth is his godfather, Holt Hudson, who has not spoken to Tom since his father’s death, nor does he want to see him. Angel Devlin, a sexy Private Investigator is organising a charity benefit in aid of those suffering from Alzheimer’s. The benefit is to be held at Holt Hudson’s house. Tom and Angel meet and pair up to search for the truth. An easy, quick week-end read.

We, especially women, think we can’t afford to invest. Instead we should ask ourselves HOW CAN WE AFFORD IT? It’s never too early or too late to start investing, even if we start small…JUST DO IT!

Trying out blogging for the first time and I hope this works out. Strill trying to figure out what to do, so if anyone can assist, it would be great. I envisage that we are all able to come together through this blog and we can all be a part of something exciting. We can contribute our thoughts, feelings, ideas etc. We can assist each other and post summaries of the books we have read and we can share so much here. Play around a bit and let me know what you think
