Shades of Grey eclipsed by new novel [Bared to You]

Several shades sexier and a hundred degrees hotter

A spectacular debut. Brill skillfully combines a forbidden love story, the struggle for women's rights, and early scientific exploration of the heavens. I cheered for Hannah Price, our feisty heroine, as she unraveled the mystery of her own desires while burning a trail for other women to follow

Probing yet accessible, beautifully written and richly characterized

A bittersweet story, movingly told. Brill's uncluttered prose mirrors her heroine's clear eye and Quaker reserve as Hannah explores both the expanding universe and her burgeoning emotions -- amid increasingly binding circumstances.

Lots of sex and gripping story lines

Full of emotional angst, scorching love scenes, and a compelling storyline

They are powerful, sexy and unputdownable

Several shades sexier and a hundred degrees hotter

Wonderful. Brilliantly observant about the way we live now. Comic and haunting

Beautifully written and consistently engaging. Charming, warm-hearted and thought-provoking

Inventive and engaging

A highly entertaining romp; [Ridgway's] historical details are accurate, and the characters are believable. Fans of Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series should enjoy this time-traveling romantic adventure, which may also attract readers who like historical fiction with a twist.

A compelling race through time in a historical world turned upside down-the Regency as you've never seen it before. Take one nobleman and one gently born lady; add time travel, intrigue, a vast conspiracy, and a wicked way with words; shake; and serve.

While on its shining surface The River of No Return is a fantastical time traveling page turner, it is also a novel that takes on complex issues of culture and nationalism and how or memories form us. And it is a riveting love story to boot. Bee Ridgway is a treasure and her debut is a triumph.

The River of No Return is an innovative and sophisticated first novel. At the heart of this entertaining story--set primarily and convincingly in Regency-era England--is a serious and timely question: what does it mean to be on the winning side of history?

The only thing more fun than reading this book would be to actually travel through time yourself. Erudite and beautifully crafted, The River of No Return is at the same time a lush, riotous fantasy. Ridgway's ingenuity and charm are apparently without limit.

Fielding’s comedic talent remains undimmed.

There is poignancy as well as humour.

We are back to the old Bridget Jones in all her life-affirming glory.

Feels like visiting with your funniest friend

I read the book. I loved it. I loved her. She’s smart, she’s funny and she makes us all feel like we’re good just the way we are.

Fresh, frantic and very funny.

Long-awaited.

Bridget is back! ... The third book in the series does not disappoint, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of Bridget's life as a 50-something, and all the highs, lows, tears and laughter that you'd expect.

What remains unchanged – and addictive – is its diary format.

Life may have changed dramatically for Bridget, but you can still prepare to laugh and cry at Helen Fielding’s latest novel.

Fans of the original books have not been, and will not be, disappointed.

Tender, touching and often hilarious – a welcome return.

Bridget is as hopeless, loveable and funny as ever.

An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the triumphant return of our favourite Everywoman.

Laugh-out-loud funny, as well as punctuated by moments of genuine sadness, which are proportionately balanced throughout the story.

Timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious

Hilariously written

This book is an innocent pleasure, and made me laugh a lot
