Reviews

Fall Guy has all the drama, sex, romance, and betrayal required to keep your pulse pounding until the very last page. No one writes hot, sexy, good boys with a touch of naughty like Liz Reinhardt.

—— Abbi Glines

Winch and Evan sizzle on every page. Keep a fan handy . . . or a fire extinguisher!

—— Tammara Webber

Robert Goolrick has a warm and easy way with words … He’s crafted a wily novel about place as well as passion, and as you turn the last page, you’ll feel like you’re leaving a tiny piece of your heart in Brownsburg.

—— Daily Mail

Deliciously dark and dangerous

—— O, The Oprah Magazine

Written with a beautiful sense of compassion Goolrick provides an excellent portrayal of the town’s inherent separation, tradition and frustration … A novel of dreams versus reality, secrets and lies, this is a story of just how far someone can go when they are in love … A terrific read with elements of both The Great Gatsby and Romeo and Juliet. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until its shocking finale.

—— Daily Express

You just have to know what happens

—— Sunday Times

A beautiful backdropA devastating love story. This book is expert at pulling at the heartstrings, but in an unsentimental way … It’s difficult to come away with a copy of Heading Out To Wonderful that’s not full of underlined phrases and turned-down pages. There is a phenomenal skill in Goolrick’s writing, right from the start. A book worth savouring, re-reading and lending to everyone you know.

—— Psychologies magazine

A seductive, slow-burning drama of epic place and operatic passion. Wonderful.

—— Saga magazine

A beautiful novel with a tangible sense of place and time … It made me hold my breath wondering what would develop … [A] beguiling and devastating novel that provokes feelings of deep joy and sadness.

—— We Love This Book

A writer with a big heart and a deft hand for drama.

—— Washington Post

Goolrick’s tale of doomed love resonates like a folk ballad... the narrative builds slowly to its violent climax, packs an emotional punch, and then haunts [its] readers

—— Publishers Weekly

Beautifully written... Rich, evocative… passionate and tragic

—— Garth Stein , author of The Art of Racing in the Rain

A mesmerizing gothic tale of a good man gone wrong ... Finely crafted fiction from a captivating writer

—— Booklist, starred review

Ridgway is a splendid writer . . . The River of No Return is the kind of book that is meant to be read under the covers with a flashlight, or, in the pale grown-up substitution, staying up much later than you know is good for you.

—— Chicago Reader

In her stellar debut, Ridgway manages the permutations of the time-travel trope with originality and aplomb.

—— Booklist

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.

—— Library Journal

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.

—— Lauren Willig, author of The Pink Carnation series

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.

—— Jennifer Gilmore, author of Golden Country and Something Red

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?

—— William Galperin, Professor of English, Rutgers University, and author of The Historical Austen

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.

—— Heather Love, R. Jean Brownlee associate professor in the humanities, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Feeling Backward

Fielding’s comedic talent remains undimmed.

—— Nicola Shulman , Mail on Sunday

There is poignancy as well as humour.

—— Eleanor Mills , Sunday Times

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

—— Caroline Jowett , Daily Express

Feels like visiting with your funniest friend

—— Jessica Shaw , Entertainment Weekly

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.

—— Jenna Bush Hager , Today

Fresh, frantic and very funny.

—— Fanny Blake , Woman & Home

Long-awaited.

—— Reader's Digest

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.

—— The Bristol Magazine

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

—— The Lady

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

—— No 1 Magazine

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

—— Chris White, fiction buyer for Waterstones , UK Press Syndication

Tender, touching and often hilarious – a welcome return.

—— Sara Lawrence , Daily Mail

Bridget is as hopeless, loveable and funny as ever.

—— Stylist

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

—— UK Press Syndication

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

—— Louise Denyer , Suffolk Magazine

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

—— UK Press Syndication

Hilariously written

—— Emma Lawton , University of Nottingham Impact

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

—— Naomi James , Church Times
