My Novels.

WHAT A GREAT REVIEW. A film, ooh I hope so…

Croissants and Jam seized my heart of steel and barbwire… and melted it into a simmering pool of marshmallow and milk chocolate. Hollywood take note: Croissants and Jam is what heart-pounding and nerve-tingling romantic comedies are made of. Breathtaking. Intelligent. Magical. Mesmerizing. Pulse-pounding. Rip-roaring. Spine-tingling. Soul stirring. Unforgettable. Whimsical. I can go on and on and on describing Lynda Renham’s bewitching novel, but I want to cut to the chase so you can grab a copy and see for yourself.

Annabel “Bels” Lewis has just two days to get to her wedding in Rome but her trip is plagued with one catastrophe after another as destiny takes hold and casts its spin.

Enter Christian. A dashing and adventurous stranger she encounters along the way. Will Bels get to her wedding on time or will the mesmerizing Christian transform her life?

Croissants and Jam is without a doubt one of the best romantic comedies of our time — yep, including those on the screen. I even visualized the cast in my head. I think David A Gregory would be a juicy Christian and Bree Williamson would be a smashing Bels. *sigh*

Renham inks an action-packed, quick paced adventure with strong characters who interact fluidly from start to finish. Renham also illustrates a gift for deftly balancing sizzling chemistry, effortless humor and witty dialogue.

As for the ending, Renham would be wise to release a sequel — soon. SOON! SWOON! SOON!

Lynda has completed the Open University creative writing course. Lynda’s first work was published a children’s comic at age ten. She has written a number of short stories and novels albeit most are unpublished.

Wedding Cake to Turin is a romantic comedy which was published as a paperback and on Kindle. The novel was launched in January 2011 under the name of Lynda Renham and held the number one bestseller spot for all paid Kindle books for several weeks. The novel has stayed in the top ten paid kindle humour bestsellers for over six months with readers eager for Lynda’s next offering. One reader commented:

“I started reading this in the evening at six p.m. I finished at two in the morning as I could not put this book down. It has to be one of the funniest books I have read in a long time… I loved the whole story line but for me the winning factor was Charlotte’s take on everything in her life. Her though processes were so hilarious. She dissed, cursed and completely put down people in her head all of the time, but she also had vulnerability about her that I liked. (By Marushka- Amazon.co.uk).”

Following the success of Wedding Cake to Turin Lynda has written Croissants and Jam, a second romantic comedy. As Lynda has a wicked sense of humour and is a prolific writer we can expect many more to follow!
