The Garden Party by Sarah Challis

I would have given this 3.5 if possible as although well written, I did not like it as much as some of the authors previous books. I found several of the characters either unlikeable or just annoying, so this spoilt my enjoyment of the book a little.

Footprints in the Sand by Sarah Challis

I really enjoyed this book that we had for book group. It was quite lengthy and I know some of the others found that all the desert descriptions were a bit long but I loved them.

I felt that the two girls were representative of the two sides of my character - the practical, sensible one who didn't take risks, and the one who followed her heart and threw caution to the wind and just DID without thinking. The deep dark eyes of the strangers were very alluring too. Really enjoyed it, will try and track down more of hers to read.… (more)
