Publisher's Summary:

Sarah Williams is a spirited, independent Aussie who has always dreamed of New York City. So when a job opportunity arises to become an au pair for a successful businessman in the heart of Manhattan, Sarah jumps at the chance to follow her dream. What she didn't bet on was a beautiful newborn and a distant, abrasive man whose eyes hold a million anguished secrets. Determined to care for his daughter and face the challenges of the impossible Ben Worthington, Sarah is prepared to follow her heart; she just isn't prepared to lose it to a complicated man like Ben.

4 Stars

Sarah, an au pair (Nanny) from Australia, always dreamt of visiting New York City. Jumping at a chance of a lifetime, Sarah relocates to New York City to interview and possibly work as an au pair for the Worthingtons', an affluent New York family.

The Worthingtons' are full of soap opera like drama and secrets, and are a mixed bag of personalities.

Ben, the father of baby Grace, came across as guarded, unemotional, and very serious with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Dominique (Nikki), Ben's sister, was relatable, down to earth, fun and heavily pregnant with her fifth child. Nikki calls it as she sees it and didn't conform to the mold of a privileged and wealthy person.

Emily, Ben's sister and Penny, Ben's mother appear to be cut from the same cloth, snobbish, and all the other stereotypes of the wealthy.

Alistair, Ben's brother came across as a free spirit, very likable, until we find out that he really isn't and is a spoiled and selfish character. It seemed as though everyone was afraid to talk to Alistair about his behavior (past and present) and have him experience the consequences, instead the family tidies up his messes, sweeping them under the rug.

Though Sarah visits only a few places in New York City, you are right along with her as she experiences it for the first time.

I liked that Sarah stayed true to who she was, she really followed her heart and was patient with Ben as he learned to open up and become more hands on with baby Grace and more human like and she stood up to Penny not changing to suit Penny nor her views on what an au pair should be like.

All in all, though I preferred reading "Paris Lights," "New York Nights" wasn't so bad. The writing was good but sometimes seemed to drag on, the secret was underwhelming, and the connection between Ben and Sarah was just eh for me. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Not all is as it appears

Second book in the A Heart of the City Romance series takes us to New York where Aussie nanny Sarah is hired to take care of widower Ben's daughter. All is not as it seems with the Worthington family with plenty of skeletons in their closets.

A quick and easy read that kept me entertained. Twists and turns I didn't see coming add to the telling of this tale.

Honest Review

I don't know how this book got 4 or 5 stars. It was a lousy story that made zero sense. Isn't it an au pair supposed to watch the child while the parent works? Why is she complaining so much? Is Alistar just a bad person or was he making amends? This book ends so ubruptly that it made no sense.

Publisher's Summary:

Greer O'Reilly needs to start over. Her partner of 12 years has left her, and she's moved to a blueberry orchard in the Victorian hills. When she and daughter Sophie arrive to take possession, the former owner, 81-year-old jazz lover Charlie Chandler, refuses to move out. Dying and desperate to spend his last days in his old home, the unlikely pair soon form a close bond - one that will offer the strength and inspiration Greer needs.

Critic Reviews:

"Reading Blueberry made me think Glenna Thomson knows my secret dreams.... I wish I could crawl inside the pages and live there." (Toni Jordan)

Members Reviews:

Four Stars

It was a nice book.

Exceptional debut!

Greer OâReilly was struggling after her partner Nick left her and their daughter, six year old Sophie. Her job in Melbourne was high stress; Sophie needed after school care more often than Greer was happy with. So when the opportunity to purchase a rundown blueberry orchard in the Victorian bush near Euroa presented itself, Greer decided to take the chance. The peace and quiet would be a balm after the hustle and bustle of the city and the laid back lifestyle could be just what both Greer and Sophie needed.

The day they arrived at their new home, Greer realised her rose coloured glasses had hidden the age and neglect of the old home. But she was a stubborn and independent woman â she would make a go of this venture; after all it couldnât be too hard could it? Her shock at finding the previous owner, eighty one year old Charlie Chandler, housed in his studio at the back of the home was great. But her sympathy at his plight soon came to the fore. Charlie was dying â heâd lived in the home, working on his paintings and listening to the jazz music he loved with his beloved wife (who was the blueberry orchardist) for the whole length of their marriage. Charlieâs absent son Warren wanted to install Charlie in a nursing home, but crusty old Charlie didnât want to goâ

As Greer learned about the blueberry orchard which was now her livelihood, she did her best to help Charlie. The unusual bond the two formed had Greer comparing Charlie with her father. But what was to be the outcome to the standoff and tense situation? And would Greer manage everything that was required in the art of blueberry farming?

Blueberry is the debut novel by Aussie author Glenna Thomson and itâs an exceptional piece of writing in my opinion. Thoroughly enjoyable, the depth of characters from six year old Sophie to eighty one year old Charlie is extremely well done. I could easily visualise the property where the orchard was located; the bush and winding roads; the small town of Euroa â Blueberry is a novel by a new voice which I highly recommend. (And I love the cover!)

Critic Reviews:

"Plenty of humorous moments [...] an enjoyable read." (Canberry Times)

Members Reviews:

Heartwarming

Beth hasn't had a holiday in years. She's a dog trainer and works very hard. She survived a terrible illness and went through a nasty divorce, so she deserves a break. Her grandmother sends her to Australia to have some fun. Beth decides to stay in a beautiful cottage among the vineyards. Here she meets the Hardy family, a welcoming group of people who are making her feel at home straight away. Only her stay is only temporary, eventually Beth has to go back. Will she be able to say goodbye to everything and everyone she's come to love?

Summer Harvest ï¿is a wonderful story about a woman who went through a difficult period in her life. Beth is ready for some good times after everything that happened to her. I loved how she eventually comes out of her shell. The Margaret River wine region is stunning and I enjoyed reading Georgina Penney's lively and detailed descriptions. Beth needs a fresh starts in many ways and it was amazing to see her develop into a more complete version of herself. She slowly becomes a woman who can be bold and confident. I had a great time reading about her adventures and I liked the vivid way Georgina Penney tells her story.

Beth and Clayton have amazing chemistry. Only there are some fears that Beth needs to overcome. I admire the sensitive and honest way in which Georgina Penney writes about them. The beautiful surroundings, the amazing wine and the fabulous company put a smile on my face. Summer Harvest is a fantastic book and the writing flows easily. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. I immediately loved the Hardy family. They're warm and welcoming. They also have their issues and secrets and it was interesting to find out more about them.

Georgina Penney's stories are heartwarming. She makes her characters come to life extremely well. While reading the story I felt like I was there. Summer Harvest is romantic and sweet while it also has several layers of depth. It's the perfect summer read and I highly recommend it.

Beautifully written!

When Beth Poole received the air ticket for her birthday to fly to Australia for two months for a holiday, she was flabbergasted. Used to her grandma Violetâs extravagant but different gifts, she thought this one had beaten them all. Beth was a dog trainer; living in London with her grandma and Louis, Violetâs second husband after the dreadful events of the past few years, she had felt nothing but love and caring.

Is this love or just a game? Tori Rivera thinks Jamie McCade is rude, arrogant and, worst of all...the sexiest man she's ever laid eyes on. His reputation as a player is almost as legendary as his surfing skills. No matter how her body heats up when he's around, she's determined not to be another meaningless hookup.

Jamie McCade always gets what he wants. The sickest wave. The hottest women. And Tori, with her long legs and smart mouth, is definitely the hottest one. He knows Tori wants him - hell, most women do - but she won't admit it. After months of chasing and one unforgettable kiss, it's time for Jamie to raise the stakes. Jamie promises that soon Tori won't just want him in her bed, she'll be begging for it - and he might be right. Somehow he's found the spot in her heart that makes her open up like never before. But with all she knows about his past, can she really trust what's happening between them? Is Jamie playing for keeps or just playing to win?

"The perfect mix of funny, hot and heartwarming. I enjoyed it immensely!" (Mia Sheridan, New York Times best-selling author)

Members Reviews:

Frustratingly hard work

Story lacked substance. It seemed to be in the hear and now & then suddenly skipped nine months. Events that took place within the that 9 months were referred to later in the story - i may have understood Torie's issues a bit better if this part wasn't skipped. For the most part Tori was judgemental with a terrible attitude towards Jamie. Jamie was dominant, crude and wouldnt take no for an answer. They played the game of

a love/hate relationship and were back and forth again & again which was frankly exhausting. Tory in my mind was slightly mad and needed therapy. Jamie was up front & honest with Tori but she was defensive and in denial of her feelings. it was very much a one sided relationship and noone would blame Jamie for bailing but he hung on in there. Once Tori admitted liking Jamie, and believe me it took a while, she then became whiney, jealous and needy. The narrator soundex exactly as portrayed. A positive is Sebastian Yorks voice - I could listen to him for hours but

Overall disappointed with the story

3.5 Stars

Not sure how to rate this book. I wasn't sure if I even liked the characters during the first half of the book. The story follows cocky Manwhore Jamie McCade who has his eye on Tori Rivera , Tori has recently had her heart broken and is in no way interested in men, at all. Jamie, though, will not take no for an answer, and is extremely persistent. Written in dual POV I found that when I read Tori's POV, I disliked Jamie immensely, I didn't like the way she perceived him, and I did not particularly like Tori either. Yet when I read Jamie's POV he did not come across quite as distasteful, but more endearing and cockily cute. I even liked Tori much more from Jamie's POV. As the book progressed so did my love for Jamie.

Magic and Dreams

This was an enjoyable read although at times I kind of zoned out. It just didn't hold my interest as much as I thought it would.

At the beginning of each chapter, there was a spell from Miss Mary's book of dreams. So Miss Mary is basically a book, not a character in the book. I enjoyed the magical parts but felt as if the story was lacking something. I didn't feel a connection with any of the characters. I think I liked the authors style of writing more than the actual story. I have to say that I would try another of her books.

* I was provided an ARC of this book to read and reviewing it was voluntary.
