Book Review: I Heart New York by Lindsey Kelk

I Heart New York is the first in the I Heart series by Lindsey Kelk and it is fabulous! I accidentally read the latest book in the series first which I loved so the lovely Charlotte from Harper kindly sent me the first two books so that I could start from the beginning.

Angela Clarke flees to New York after she finds her boyfriend Mark with his pants round his ankles cheating on her with his new tennis partner. She shuts herself away in a glamorous hotel and starts abusing the mini-bar. Jenny, the hotel's concierge comes to the rescue, she picks Angela up and shows her the glorious city of New York. Soon Angela has a new wardrobe, new hair, a new writing job plus dates with two very eligible men. She has to decide whether New York is going to be her new life or whether she must stop running away and return to face the music at home.
Angela Clarke is the best part of the book for me, as a character I find her entirely believable. She is a Libran like me so completely indecisive and always trying to create some kind of balance in her life. The relationship that she forges with Jenny is also a really important part of the book. Jenny is exactly the kind of friend that every girl needs, always there with a bottle of wine and a shoulder to cry on but also not afraid to point out when you are wrong about something.
I cannot recommend these books by Lindsey Kelk enough, they're so good and I can't wait to find out what happens in I Heart Hollywood.

Book Review: I Heart Paris by Lindsey Kelk

I Heart Paris is the third book in the I Heart series by Lindsey Kelk, I haven't read the other two but I shall be catching up with them as I really enjoyed this one.

Angela Clarke is on her adventures again, her boyfriend Alex who is in a rock band asks her to go on a week long trip to Paris where he has a gig, at the same time, the ultra trendy Belle magazine ask Angela to do a travel piece so it's not long before she is packing her bags and heading for the airport. Things however do not go smoothly, Angela falls in love with Paris but everything is against her. Someone is trying to sabotage her article and then Alex's gorgeous Parisian ex-girlfriend shows up. Angela is very tempted to run away back to her old life in London; she has to decide if what she wants is worth fighting for.
Lindsey Kelk has written a brilliant book, I really loved the character of Angela Clarke, she feels very real but incredibly entertaining at the same time. She is placed into so many difficult situations throughout the book and I loved wondering how she was going to get out of the latest one.
This book very much made me want to go to Paris again; I wanted to wander around with Angela, visiting the beautiful shops and bustling cafes. If you are looking for a good, entertaining read then I would highly recommend this one. As I said, don't need to have read the other two in the series to understand I Heart Paris. I am going to read the previous ones though as I would love to know about the adventures that Angela has already got up to!

Many thanks to the lovely people at Harper for sending me a copy to review, this book is published today.
