Boys For Sale: A Novel about Human Trafficking
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Boys-For-Sale-Book-Trafficking-ebook/dp/B009TPTB8E/ref=sr_1_17?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1390834169&sr=1-17&keywords=for+sale
More than 2,000,000 children worldwide are bought and sold each year to be used as slaves.
This may be just one of their stories....
When his parents agree to send Tavi off to a special school in the city that promises wealth and success, they have no idea that they are handing their son over to real life human traffickers.
Tavi's excitement soon turns into horror as he learns what kind of a life he has been forced into and the things that are expected of him. As his world comes crashing down around him, he struggles to stay true to himself in the midst of the darkness.
But when one of his friends dies a horrific death, Tavi knows that he must escape if he is to survive and ever have a chance at a normal life again.
This is a story about Tavi, a boy who has been sold into human trafficking, and the man who is responsible for Tavi's fate.
Disclaimer - This book is based on real-life anecdotes from children who have forced into this kind of situation, and so there are a couple of gritty, unpalatable images that would have been unrealistic to leave out.0 -

Bride And Gloom: sometimes love is better off blind.
(follow up to Dating In The Dark: sometimes love just pretends to be blind)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00G7RQ0TK/In the first book of the ‘Sometimes love …’ series, ‘Dating in the Dark: sometimes love just pretends to be blind’, Jason Harding thought he’d committed the ultimate betrayal. No, not cheating; he pretended to be, you guessed it, blind. For Emma, the woman he was stupid enough to think he was fooling, it wasn’t anything like a betrayal. It was both sweet and sad at the same time and, as people in relationships have a tendency to do (if they don’t split up because of one party’s wild lies), Emma and Jason decide to get married.
Just how Jason manages to deal with the huge life change that is marriage is what this book is about. From getting his specially made suit tailored to his short height, to trying to keep a lid on his best man’s plans for a wild weekend in Liverpool, he is going to struggle to make to through to the wedding without having a full nervous breakdown. His second best friend, Boris, also returns in this book, although he has lost his taxi, his wife and his ability to seem sober even when he’s drunk six litres of vodka.
Jason is foolish enough to add Neil, Emma’s wayward cousin, and Terry, the owner of Jason’s favourite fish and chip shop, to his list of groomsmen. This is the fairly tragic band of men that are to ensure Jason makes it to the church on time, in possession of both his of his eyebrows and, of course, the rings …If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.0 -

Growing up in Manhattan, Zack McCrady did not have an easy life. First, his father died in a skiing accident. Then his mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Eventually Zack was left orphaned, and his big sister Jenny took over parenting and provided him with the unconditional love he craves. But after Jenny's death during the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York, Zack begins spending his days pondering his rage toward Al-Qaeda, his dark feelings toward his own government, and his enduring pain and inner turmoil. On the other side of the world, Afghanistan is rotting from within. The Soviets have withdrawn and, technically, the Mujaheddin have won. Hakeem Rashid, raised by a surrogate father since infancy, is bright and gifted and knows the lessons of the Koran in depth. Despite growing up in war torn Herat, Hakeem has managed to remain civilized and with a sense of purpose, but when Hakeem's real father returns, everything is subject to change. Zack is involved in a violent crime. Hakeem has become his father's minion. As two men on opposite sides of the world battle intense psychological tumult, one of them is about to uncover a truth that will change him forever.0 -

(perfect if you are one of those people who prefer imperial to metric measurements!).Product Description
AMAZON BEST SELLER!
You don't need to be British to enjoy the delicious traditional cakes found in this collection of 20 recipes. Traditional British Cake Recipes are fun, simple baking recipes. Most British cakes are easy to bake. There are a variety of home baking recipes for every taste and occasion. From the simplest sponge cake to the more exotic traditional British Christmas cake you will find great cake recipes in this book.
"I grew up in the south of England at a time when most Mums still stayed at home and looked after the house and kids. My Mum loved to bake - cakes, pies, scones, tarts and puddings. My happiest memories are of sitting in the kitchen watching the weighing and measuring, mixing and pouring, kneading and rolling. Waiting patiently until it was time to lick the mixing bowl clean.
Baking is almost a lost art form. Store bought cakes are the norm these days. But home made cakes can't be surpassed for taste, economy and most of all, the pleasure of feeding good food to your family. There are so many additives - preservatives, colorings, chemicals and worst of all, high fructose corn syrup - in commercial products. Home baked cakes are just so much healthier and you will know exactly what went into each and every bite."

The Girl Before Eve by Lisa J.Hobman

Clicky
Unrequited love is the biggest heartache…
Lily and Adam have been best friends since the dawn of time. Well, the dawn of their time. Okay…since primary school actually. Everyone accepted them as best friends. Until one day, aged 18, Lily made a fateful discovery. She was head over heels in love.
With Adam.
Her unrequited feelings are hard to deal with initially but become even harder when Lily inadvertently introduces him to the love of his life. It all started as a bit of a joke thanks to the other woman's name.
Eve.
Many years later and Adam is once again single and heartbroken and Lily is there to help him pick up the pieces. Her methods are sometimes a little unorthodox and lead to ridiculous consequences.
Can Lily help Adam move on and find happiness again? And can either of the friends recover from losing the love of their lives?
Sometimes the one thing you want is way out of reach.
I have read her previous 2 books and enjoyed them.Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £26,322.670
