The Man Who Didn't Call * Rosie Walsh

The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh 

Imagine you meet a man, spend six glorious days together, and fall in love. And it’s mutual: you’ve never been so certain of anything. 
So when he leaves for a long-booked holiday and promises to call from the airport, you have no cause to doubt him.
But he doesn’t call. 
Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence.

On the 2nd June, Sarah comes to the same spot, at the same time to remember the tragedy that ruined her life. What she didn't think would happen, was that she'd fall madly in love with a complete stranger, that she's only known for seven days. 

Seven wonderful, marvellous, days she'd spent cooped up with Eddie David's. Then out of nowhere, he just vanished without a trace or even a phone call. 

Sarah can't shake the feeling that something is wrong; they shared life stories, dreams and even a little wooden mouse! So where did he go? When did it all go wrong? 

As Sarah battles with a loss she never knew she had, a love so fierce it may send her into madness and heartbreak so strong, that it physically hurts. One things for certain, she has to find Eddie David's before its too late and who he really is.  

The Man Who Didn't Call by Rosie Walsh, is the first book that Walsh has written under her real name. Before, she has written under the pen name 'Lucy Robinson'. You can't begin to imagine my excitement when I realised this revelation and I couldn't wait for it to be released. I adore Rosie's writing, and her stories are just so beautiful. 

The story was nothing like I'd expected, I suppose I thought it would be like her other ones, but the story just took me by surprise and what a fabulous surprise it was! It's very well written, the plot is great and the ending, oh that ending. If there's one book you should read before the year is out, please go pick this one up and give it a read, you won't be disappointed! 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and seriously can't wait for more by Rosie.

I will be giving this book 10/10

Locked * Maya Cross

Locked by Maya Cross

Who is Sebastian Lock?

The bar Sophia Pearce is in doesn’t look like much. The wine is bad and the decor worse. 


But when a sudden attack of curiosity leads her to sneak past security and into the back room, she discovers something unimaginable. 

The most lavish party she’s ever laid eyes on, in the most unlikely of places.

When Sophia and the girls are out on the town, anything goes. Secrets are shared, memories are made and bets get promised. Yet, when she sees a dainty, dimly lit room to the back of the bar, Sophia can't help but wonder what lays behind it. 

With some liquid confidence and a helping of motivation from her friends, Sophia soon finds herself sneaking through the door. Though when she does, her whole world is turned upside down. 

Sebastian on the other hand, is a man of many mysteries. Sworn to secrecy by the alliance, she shared very little about life, and his personality. Though he can't shake the need and desire to tell Sophia everything there is to know about him, but can he trust her? More to the point, can she trust him? 

But when Sophia plays hard to get, the game becomes very interesting for both players.

Locked by Maya Cross, is a great read and its the first instalment in 'The Alpha Group' series. I really enjoyed this book, if you have been following for a while you'll know that I'm always on the look out for books that are as good as the Night and Day series by Kitty French. I can happily say that I have found another series that is worth the read. 

I loved Sophia and Sebastian's characters so much, they're completely different yet the same, though they bounced of one another well which is wonderful. The plot behind the characters grew more and more within the book and so did the pace. I felt like it was a quick read but in the sense of something always happening. 

Of course, it was hot in its own ways but most importantly, the story was good, which is what I look for. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be reading more of the series. 

I will be giving this books 8 out of 10

*This book was read in August, so this is a late review.
