Welcome to episode 67 of the Lesbian Book Club! This month the focus is on me as I round up my goals for 2021, including publishing three books and four audiobooks, as well as getting more stretchy in body and flexible in life! I also shine a light on my new release Hot London Nights, and give you a listen of the first chapter of my Made In London audiobook – all of which should get you bang into the London Romance mood.

2. It’s got family drama and steamy romance amid dreamy London rooftops. Also, chocolate biscuits galore.
3. It’s got a bonus second-chance love story that will melt your heart. Trust me on this.
4. It’s your chance to catch up with everyone’s favourite London lesbians including Jess & Lucy, Kate & Meg, Alice & Rachel, Tanya & Sophie and Eden & Heidi!
5. The story is sprinkled with next-level romantic stardust. Who knows, it might just rub off on you!
It’s been over a year since the last book in the London Romance series, and I hope this one keeps you engaged in the stories and the city, and most of all, wanting book eight (out later this year).
