- Korte biografie
- Jane Lovering was born in Devon, England but, following extradition procedures, now lives in Yorkshire. She has five children, four cats, two dogs and doesn’t believe in housework so the bacteria and dust are approaching sentience and now rank among the pets. Incidentally, she doesn’t believe in ironing either, and the children all learned self-defensive cookery at early ages. She works in a local school and also teaches creative writing, which are extreme ways of avoiding the washing up.
Published since 2008, she writes romantic comedies which are often described as ‘quirky’. One day she’s going to find out what that means. Jane is a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and has a first class honours degree in creative writing. In 2012, her novel Please Don't Stop the Music won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award by the RNA.

The Forgotten House on the Moor: The page-turning… door Jane Lovering
Long (cudda been 2 books). Ending wasn’t a surprise. Perhaps was too long getting there for an AHA moment. Rating is generous.Narrator did well.
This book was an exploration of love, figuring out one's true desires, and forgiveness.
The lights this book was titled for were a rather cute addition to this book and provided the means for the two to meet and communicate.
Phinn was my favourite aspect of this story. He was quirky and insecure, rather different from most male leads in this type of novel. I enjoyed getting to know him and the strange escapades he had. I also enjoyed hearing about Molly's love of horses; her passion really shone through and made her feel alive.
It took me until about halfway through for the characters to capture me and for me to want to continue reading this book. I felt like a lot of sections could be condensed, and I just wasn't gripped.
This was narrated strangely. Most of the book was written from Molly's first person point of view; however, we also got sections told in third person about Phinn that had all of his emotions and thoughts. I found this to be disorienting. This also made the book more predictable as we knew what both of the main characters were thinking, wanting, and striving for. There were some points that didn't quite make sense, like the pill in the later part of the book, and a lot of the characters' back story became confusing, but overall, this had an easy to follow plot.
I simply didn't enjoy the writing style. Molly, our main first-person character, seemed quite conscious of how she was narrating and at points even commented on her word choice. This kept pulling me out of the book and was distracting.
There's nothing bad about this book; however, it did take me a while to get into and I'd only recommend this is you're someone who enjoys a lot of character development and if you're someone easily gripped.
I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.… (meer)

I bought Please Don't Stop The Music on my birthday, 1st February, which also was the publication date of this book. I really enjoyed reading it too as it was set in York one of my favourite cities and only 1/2 drive from my home town.
There were many twists and turns and secrets which came out throughout my read.
I want a Ben in my life, he sounds gorgeous though a bit skinny! I'm not mentioning anything else as i really don't want to spoil any of this book for the readers.
All i'll say is that i'm going to be looking out for more of Jane Loverings books to download to my kindle as i really REALLY enjoyed this fantastic book.… (meer)

A truly wonderful Christmas read. I laughed, I pondered and I thoroughly enjoyed pounding the streets of London. Dogs and books make me happy so when Kells bundle of chaotic joy arrived, you could say I was in my elliment.
