Nina Bilinszki “No Waves too high”
Nina Bilinszki's new adult novel, "No Waves too high", is the third part of the moving romance novel series "Love Down Under", set in the picturesque coastal town of Eden, Australia.
Dive into the world of dream beaches and a love story that shows the way back to life.
Until a fatal shark attack six months ago, Alicia Taylor was something of a celebrity in the small coastal town of Eden: The 22-year-old never wanted to be anything other than a surfer, and she was really, really good.
But when Alicia is finally released from rehab and excitedly grabs her surfboard, she realizes that she can only get within a few meters of her beloved sea.
Then the memories come crashing down on her – and with them the sheer panic.

BK Borison, Michaela Link “Lovelight Farms – Flower Magic”
After “Lights Shine”, “Blütenzauber”, the second volume to sympathize and rave about, has been published.
A friendship that starts everything turns into love.
Can the fear that grips the heart pass?
For anyone who loves Julie Caplin and the Gilmore Girls, this is the perfect Valentine's Day entertainment.
Evelyn is not the woman you forget.
After an incredible weekend in Maine, Beckett immediately recognizes the attractive woman when she meets him at Lovelight Farms.
The young farmer had no idea that she was actually a well-known social media influencer.
But Evelyn St. James needs a break from her online career.
At Lovelight Farms she wants to recharge her batteries and find out what really makes her happy.
She had no idea that she would find shelter with the withdrawn Beckett - nor that a rugged, tattooed farmer could be so adorable.

Charles Simmons “Salt Water”
An atmospheric novel full of lightness that reveals the big feelings.
As a reader, you immerse yourself deeply in the story and the thoughts of the characters.
The conflict that Michael experiences in the story is close enough to touch.
A book about first love that can be devoured in one sitting.
“In the summer of 1963, I fell in love and my father drowned.” This is how the story begins about a summer at the end of which nothing is the same: Like every year, fifteen-year-old Michael spends the holidays with his parents on the Atlantic.
But this time there is a change, because the seductive Mrs. Mertz moves into the neighboring guest house with her twenty-year-old daughter Zina.
The otherness and openness that surround the two women fascinates not only Michael.

Ildikó by Kürthy “Half an eternity”
Wrote 25 years ago
Ildikó von Kürthy wrote her first novel “Moonlight Tariff”.
Now the heroine from back then is back in the new novel “Half an Eternity”.
It is a homage to long relationships and at the same time a story about farewell and a new beginning.
With this novel, the author achieves something that you only know from very good friends: despite the long time between seeing them again, it is as if you had only recently met them.
A wonderful reading pleasure.
She is on the run from her memories.
For half an eternity.
Until she comes across an old diary.
It had a happy ending.
But life went on.
Her name is Cora Hübsch, her children are big and her marriage is fragile.
Too much everyday life, too little adventure.
But this weekend her life is going crazy: the swapped dress, the old guilt, the shadowy figure in the photo.
Is this a coincidence?
Or a last chance?
