I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

Disaster-in-Waiting is a story of love, passion and the realisation that everything you have ever known and imagined as your future may not be as secure or set in stone as you thought.

Another NA romance!!!
Well, I can't say that this book is a perfect book. There are some scenes that make me happy, angsty, and annoyed. It's pretty fast paced. For anyone out there who is a big fan of NA romance with mystery touch in it, please do try reading this book!
Thanks to Netgalley and the pubisher for the copy!

I received a complimentary copy of Disaster-In-Waiting in exchange for an honest review. What a great start to the novel. Everything about the meeting and chemistry and meeting between Eloise and Michael kept making me want to read as fast as I could to see what was going to happen next.

As the book went on, it became long winded and repetitive. I finished the book, but it definitely could have been shortened and several story lines could have been removed involving of the family drama on Michael's side.

I 100% recommend this book! I did not like El and Michaels relationship at all and was happy when Cy came in! I felt their connection through the book!!

Disaster-in-Waiting by Elle M Thomas

This book was a bit of a slow starter but there were many twists involved .

Some parts of the book were very repetitive and on the whole a bit predictable.

It was a longer read than it needed to be thus making me lose interest in the story a bit disappointing.

This started out great. I was really drawn in and thought about the chemistry between our hero and heroine, but as time went on (this is a surprisingly long read) and more characters were brought in, it started to get into melodrama. The mystery won't be a surprise for many readers, but who got together, in the end, is a stretch for a happy ending I don't think was needed and brought my rating down.

I enjoyed this. I actually devoured it in 24 hours. There were a few things keeping me from fully loving this book. Some of the dialogue was a bit rough for me to get through. I also felt it was a tad predictable which I don’t entirely mind. Other than that while it is not my typical type of romance I did think it was a great read and would definitely recommend this book!

This book was a very fun read and the forbidden aspect really enticed me but the writing felt dull at times. It was sexy, but there was always some spark missing. But overall I really enjoyed the main couple’s romance!

Fantastic, really compelling, twisty story. I became immensely involved with the characters and the complexities of their lives. The storyline built up expertly with lots of hints and clues along the way and the writing ticks loads of boxes for humour, mystery, family secrets and definitely not least its racier side. The story holds up on any of those genres, however, on their own so as a whole it’s an absolute treat which gels really well and seamlessly.
I read the whole thing in two sittings as I really needed to know how it panned out for El and although I guessed the ending, it was quite near the end that it all clicked together for me and definitely not disappointing. I absolutely recommend this, my next read has a lot to live up to.

Disaster in Waiting is the story of relationships and secrets that are revealed about relationships between several individuals. Eloise Ross had been pushed into marrying an older wealthy man by her sister. Eloise loved Michael however she was frustrated that he never wanted to have sex anymore. Due to health issues, Michael sold his company to an American friend of his and she was going to work as the PA for the new owner. One night when she was feeling restless, she went out to a bar. After drinking a large amount of alcohol, she was enjoying her time on the dance floor. A man came up behind her and they proceeded to “dirty dance” together. This very attractive man pulled her upstairs to an office and she had sex with him which was the first time she had ever cheated on her husband. This awakened a strong restless feeling with her sexless marriage. She went to work at her new position to find that the man she had met in the bar was the son of the new owner. He was now going to be her new boss as the owner had decided to run the US branch. This created a huge dilemma as he did not date married women or employees. In addition , she did not want to cheat on her husband even though they were very attracted to each other. There attraction was so strong that they had many sexual encounters. Their attraction became obvious to coworkers and his sister. El had a number of uncomfortable situation as she and her husband went to dinner at the owners house and her lover was there. Michael began having secretive meetings that kept him out of town and he would not tell El what he was doing. This led to further distance in their marriage. As the story progressed, many secrets were revealed about the relationships between the various friends and family members. I recommend this book.

I really liked this story.
It was a lot longer than I expected. It took me about 10 hours to read.
Plot lines kept closing and new ones would continue the story right away. The sex scenes got very repetitive and I ended up skipping over the majority of them after about halfway through the book.
The plot kept me engaged, even as I kept thinking I was close to the end of the book. The first time I thought the book was almost finished, a major plot line came to a close, was like 16% through the story. No complaints here though. I liked the characters. No one annoyed me too much. I read it almost straight through.
