Review - Surfing in Stilettos - Carol E Wyer

Woohoo!  Amanda is having another adventure courtesy of the lovely Carol E Wyer


  • Publisher: FeedARead.com (17 Jun 2012)
  • ISBN-13: 978-1781764886


Amanda is back for a welcome sequel to Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines.
She is still writing her blog about life after retirement with her ever happy husband, and a mother who refuses to grow old gracefully. 

Amanda and her husband are in France with Bertie, their campervan,  on a leisurely tour taking in the sights and flavours en route.  That is until Bertie breaks down in rural France, disaster strikes back home and hubby has to leave Amanda in France and return to England.
Todd Bradshaw is also back.  Is it really over between him and Amanda?

With old friends from Mini Skirts.. and new colourful characters, there are misunderstandings,  cases of mistaken identities and unexpected events. Amanda’s leisurely tour in Bertie is about to get turbo-charged!

Can be read as a sequel to Mini skirts, or as a stand alone as the author, Carol, does bring readers up to speed on what has happened before.  With a mixture of narrative and blog posts, with bloggers’ comments, the adventures keep the reader entertained and laughing out loud.

I even have a cameo role in this sequel.

5 stars!

Review copy – I received a review copy for an honest review, and having a cameo role did not influence my review in any way 


Carol is offering one copy of Mini Skirts and one copy of Surfing in Stilettos to lucky readers. UK Only
