Review
Praise for Tatiana and Alexander 'This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair ! It also has -- thank goodness -- a welcome sense of humour and discernable characters rather than ciphers.' Victoria Moore, Daily Mail Praise for The Bronze Horseman 'Pulling off the passionate love story embedded in a truly epic narrative is a difficult thing to do. Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind remains the blueprint for the genre, while Tolstoy's War and Peace carries off the literary honours ! it's quickly apparent that the Russian-born author Paullina Simons has the measure of this kind of epic romantic saga ! She is able to make some powerful statements about the durability of the human spirit, but never at the expense of descriptive passages refulgent with power and beauty' Barry Forshaw, amazon Praise for Tully: 'Pick up this book and prepare to have your emotions wrung so completely you'll be sobbing your heart out one minute and laughing through your tears the next.! Read it and weep -- literally' Company Praise for The Girl in Times Square 'Simons' sixth novel considers what happens when life suddenly stops being average. Part mystery, part romance, part family drama!in other words, the perfect book' Daily Mail Further praise for The Girl in Times Square 'A heart-wrenching tale' Closer 'This is a wonderful story, which works on so many levels. The highs and lows of it are amazing. This book may well become your new best friend.' Nottingham Evening Post 'Two people -- one impossible situation; this is a love story for the 21st century written with verve and deep emotion!A powerful story unwinds of love, death and betrayal' Belfast Telegraph

Praise for Tatiana and Alexander
'This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair … It also has – thank goodness – a welcome sense of humour and discernable characters rather than ciphers.'

Praise for The Bronze Horseman
‘Pulling off the passionate love story embedded in a truly epic narrative is a difficult thing to do. Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind remains the blueprint for the genre, while Tolstoy's War and Peace carries off the literary honours … it's quickly apparent that the Russian-born author Paullina Simons has the measure of this kind of epic romantic saga … She is able to make some powerful statements about the durability of the human spirit, but never at the expense of descriptive passages refulgent with power and beauty’ Barry Forshaw, amazon

Praise for The Girl in Times Square
‘Simons’ sixth novel considers what happens when life suddenly stops being average. Part mystery, part romance, part family drama…in other words, the perfect book’ Daily Mail

Format:Hardcover
Paullina is the best there is, and her latest book is no exception. I held my breathe as I travlled across the USA with these 3 teenagers, and lost my heart to Candy, the youngest of the trio, but the wisest, the hardest and yet the softest. As they drove into a future they never knew was theirs, the road was filled with profound experiences, painful truths, stomach aching laughter and warm tears. From page one to the final chapter, I held my breath, I was riveted, I was lost in the world that Paullina can so successfully take us to, time after time. You will love them, hate them, become infuriated with them and be constantly trying to warn them, and you will miss them so much when you close this book.

I love Paullina Simons; Tully, the Girl in Times Square, The Bronze Horseman etc. are amazing reads. Whilst the Road to Paradise is enjoyable and well written it doesn't have the same ability to pull you in like most of her other books.
Even so well worth a read, just don't expect the same 'magic' that you usually find in Paullina's books.

I've read a few of Paullina's books now and undoubtedly she knows how to tell a tale. This book was enjoyable and, as with all of her books I've read, I raced through it. She paints the picture well of the 3 young women's experiences, thoughts and feelings on their journey cross country, with a real element of suspense. The plot is easy to follow, harrowing in parts but ultimately hopeful.
My one gripe is the dialogue between the characters on religion - these conversations (which took up page after page) were, in my opinion, a poorly disguised way of persuading the reader of Paullina's own beliefs.

I loved Simons book 'A song in the daylight' and had high hopes for this one too, but sadly for me, though it started out well, this journey went absolutely nowhere. Read more

Excellent read
As good as Tully but in a different way. Really draws you in and you don't want to put it down. Unpredictable ending.
