My publisher wanted to find out what readers really love about my books, so they set up a Carole Matthews VIP club to read and review my latest book in advance. Below is a collage of images that some of them sent me and what they said:
A story that will warm the winter nights and leave you believing that love should conquer all - Suzanne Parry An absolutely delightful story, packed full of comedy moments...the perfect winter read - Louise Graham Carole Matthews is the master of just one more chapter books and ‘Wrapped up in you’ definitely does not disappoint
- Karen Louise Palmer Carole's book is perfect - endearing and oh so perfect for the Christmas season. Whether you receive it as a gift or you treat yourself, don’t make any plans as once you’ve opened it, you won’t want to put it down - Nikki Clark When I saw the cover of “Wrapped Up In You”, I just wanted to close the blinds, put the fire on and snuggle down to read it. I wasn’t disappointed - Lisa Martin I’d love to see this made into a film, Carole, I think you could give Helen Fielding a run for her money - Sarah Jane Windridge France Carole’s best book so far!!! - Marcia Whitehead I loved, loved, loved this book! (it is) full of enchantment, and as I was nearing the end I felt a little pang as I didn’t want it to end! All that was missing for me was an open fire and some roasted chestnuts - Anne Connor The twists and turns of the plot had some hilarious laugh out loud moments for me - Tracey Byard Another Matthews masterpiece! Snuggled in a comfy chair with a blazing fire is the best place to be when reading this book, which is a perfect read for the Christmas season - Clare Foody This book made me laugh, cry and audibly ooh and aah. Towards the end I literally could not put it down - Carole Littlehales With the perfect blend of humour, warmth, romance and good feeling, Wrapped up in You is like a sumptuous box of chocolates; utterly enticing, delightfully indulgent and once you begin consuming, you will be unable to stop until completely devoured! - Nicola Kilmartin A wonderful heart-warming festive story that had me hooked from the very first page - Diane Jones This book is heart-warming and witty and guaranteed to make you smile - Nicky Howe Wrapped up in You is the perfect escapism from everyday life - Claire Trevor This wonderful book made me laugh, made me cry and made me sigh with a deep desire to head off on safari - another beautiful “keeper” gem to add to Carole’s list of amazing novels which lift your spirits and remind you of just how wonderful love and life is - Callie Carling In this witty, crisp, sharp humoured book Carole doesn’t disappoint - Helen Standish-Beavan Wrapped up in You is a real winter warmer and in true Carole style, you'll ride the emotional rollercoaster along with Janie so grab a duvet and a box of tissues and enjoy - Jillanne David Wrapped up in You is like a modern day fairy tale and is a must read for this Christmas. The ending was not as I expected and is exciting and nerve wracking at the same time, it is the perfect book to snuggle up with on a cold winters evening - Sarah Taylor
