Book Review: One Bed Between Rivals by Joss Wood

One Bed Between Rivals, written by Joss Wood and published by Mills and Boon Modern is a thoughtful eco romance.

Thea and Farrell first met at university, she added an idealistic, studious student, him the playboy son of a hotel property millionaire. Thy didn’t mix in the same friendship group. 10 years on she is a successful travel blogger whilst he has taken over the family business and is trying to fix all th corrupt and damaging practices his father used whilst building his empire of holiday resorts. 

Thea has been invited to the opening of Farrell’s newest resort, an eco resort in th Seychelles.  Financed by Farrell it is one of many initiatives to try and fix the damage done to the eco system by his father. 

A tropical storm hits the resort on the first night. They are forced to share a bed in Farrell’s bungalow and the sparks fly. The media is about to  blow open all the corrupt dealings Farrell’s father entered into when building his empire. Will their romance survive?

One Bed is quite a compact novel, the main characters could have been developed other more backstory. I Enjoyed the story being written from a dual point of view, it made the storyline more rounded as the refer saw the storyline develop from both characters standpoint. 

As usual with Joss Wood’s novels I enjoyed this book, I just wish it had been longer.

Book Review: Her Forbidden Royal Boss by Jadesola James

Her Forbidden Royal Boss, written by Jadesola James and published by Mills and Boon Modern imprint is a Royal romance set in Anwu, Prince Ikem is the Prince Regent until the baby nephew takes the throne at 18. The palace becomes aware of threats gins the baby’s life so Adama is appointed as a nanny /bodyguard as she has military training. Ikem is trying to uphold the legacy of his brother whilst unrest is growing in neighbouring and his own country. Adama and her family has seen and lived through the unrest and understand how Ikem’s decisions could destroy the country. She also isn’t that comfortable around the baby as after her brother died she cut herself from her feelings. Nevertheless the attraction between the pair simmers and explodes as the prince and Adama work together to protect the baby.

A really enjoyable read, well paced and interesting as Adama is a very strong, determined heroine (with issues going back to her childhood) and Prince Ikem, whils presenting as an alpha male hero he also makes mistakes. He also had a soft protective side when it comes to his nephew. I look forward to reading other novels by this author as her writing and storylines are fresh and new.
