Sarah Gate's Before You Say Anything touched me more deeply than I could ever have anticipated. Bluebell's story shattered my heart, leaving me overwhelmed by the extraordinary beauty of a character I felt I understood instinctively. A deeply emotional story of love, acceptance and belonging. 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) | ✍️ Sarah Gate | 🏢 Choc Lit |❤️ Before You Say Anything | 🏷️ Zooloo's Book Tours

📅 Welcome to my new Monthly Wrap-ups! September was all about celebrating ten years of MoMoBookDiary, giving the blog a fresh start and, somewhere amongst all the tinkering, finding time to read a few books! 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026)

Emma Bennet has done it again! A wonderful return to Castle Cove, filled with perfectly imperfect characters, a lovely community and beautifully natural storytelling. I loved this one so much I deliberately tried to make it last longer! 🧑🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) | ✍️ Emma Bennet | 🩷 Christmas at the First Sip Coffee Shop

A lovely return to Rowan Bay for a cosy Christmas romance filled with friendship, community spirit and a little uncertainty about the future. I loved Lily and Hamish's story and seeing the village come together when it mattered most. 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) | ✍️ Ellie Henderson | 🎄A Magical Scottish Christmas | 🏢Choc Lit | 🏷️ Zooloo's Book Tours

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this one, but WOW! What a wonderful surprise!

An absolutely brilliant debut. From the sunshine of Kos to south-west Scotland, I loved the atmosphere, the characters and a romance that felt completely believable. Everything just worked, and that ending... just beautiful. 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) ✍️ S.J. Wood 🩷 It Started in Kos 🏷️ Purchased

My first deliberate step into Dark Spicy Romance! Atmospheric, fast-paced and considerably spicier than my usual romantic reading, I loved the gothic setting, mystery and sexual tension, and finished knowing I’ll definitely explore the darker side of romance again. 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) ✍️ Kyla Rose ❤️🌶️ Hunted by Darkness 🏢 Skulls + Roses

A good mystery that kept me curious and forming my own theories throughout. If you enjoy television-style crime dramas where specialist characters are right at the heart of solving the crime, The Fatal End may be one to add to your reading list. 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) ✍️ A.J.

I jumped straight into book ten of the Jack MacIntosh series! Multiple POVs, a fast-paced investigation and an established cast I could follow without ever feeling lost. I didn't need to know what had happened before, but by 30% I absolutely wanted to! 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) ✍️ Michelle Kidd 🚨 Cut and Run 🏢 Joffe Books 🏷️ Zooloo's Book Tours

A fast-paced investigation, wonderfully descriptive writing and two detectives I became completely invested in. Secrets on the Fells worked perfectly as a standalone, but I finished wanting to know everything that had come before. My response? I immediately bought all three books in the series! 👩🏻‍💻 MoMoBookDiary (2026) ✍️ Cath Staincliffe 👮 Secrets on the Fells 🏢 Joffe Books 🏷️ Zooloo's Book Tours
