Bat Out Of Hell - Review

Hubby and I recently went out together - no kids - shocker! And we had a delightful evening at the Cliffs Pavillion Theatre to enjoy the Bat Out Of Hell Musical.
I am a Meatloaf fan, sort of. I mean, I know and like the album and the songs. I always thought they sounded like a story so here we are at the theatre to enjoy the musical. 
First up - the band! Superb. And the cast! Brilliant. High energy Read more of this blog post »

Thanks for the message Nell, I'm afraid it's not a genre I usually read but I wish you the best of luck with your books.

Nell Grey Hi Claire,
I am a new writer and this is my first venture. It's an action romance series of four books, beginning with this one. The stories are set in Wales on the Welsh Celtic coast.

The Strictly Business Proposal

The Strictly Business Proposal (Freshwater Bay Novel Series #1) by Nell Grey

You can read it free at the moment as a free Amazon download.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZQS79L3

I'd really love you to read and review it, if you enjoy action romance novels.

Best wishes and hope to hear from you,

Nell
