James Bond is everywhere in London

October 21, 2012 by Helena Halme 3 Comments

I have to admit to being a bit of a Bond fan. I grew up with Roger Moore as the Bond, and have since had difficulty in thinking anyone else can be as good as him in that role (I know, I know, Sean Connery was the original but I’m too young  – ahem – to remember him). But, our current Bond, Daniel Craig is doing a pretty good job to win me over. He’s so much more edgy than the Bonds of my youth. As the Telegraph Magazine yesterday said, ‘There’s a real sense that this man is burning up from the inside.’ How true (shivers down my spine).

So I cannot wait till Friday when I’ll be seeing Skyfall. Not only because it’s a new Bond film, or because Craig is such a dish, but also because my current near-obession, the Swedish actor, ex-husband of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-famed, Noomi, Ola Rapace also stars in Skyfall. Such a shame he’s playing a baddie…although, perhaps that’s a good thing…(more spine tingling).

    I admire you, Helena, that you actually like the Daniel Craig Bond – because I can't, however much I try (and can see the "edgy" bit). But I just cannot for the life of me get over the fact how UGLY he is – those ears! that potato face! No, for me Craig just doesn't cut the mustard as Bond, I'm biding my time until there'll be a new one 🙂

Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter romance, To Melt A Frozen Heart, is now on pre-order!
💙
To Melt A Frozen Heart is Book 1 in a new series, titled, The Anderssons.  In the first novel in the series, we meet  Kat Andersson, a passionate environmentalist TV producer. Heartbroken after a devastating betrayal by those whom she most trusted in her life, she travels to Lapland, where she meets – and immediately hates – Mikael Hult, a ski instructor from a wealthy Finnish mining family.
💙
Here’s the full blurb:
When trust is betrayed by those closest to you, can love still find its way?

Kat, a TV producer nursing a shattered heart from a celebrity chef's betrayal, seeks refuge in Lapland. There, she crosses paths with Mikael, a Finnish ski instructor from a wealthy mining dynasty.

Their worlds collide like ice and fire, yet an irresistible attraction blooms. Kat, an ardent vegan and environmental advocate, has sworn off holiday romances. Mikael embodies everything she detests about privilege: fast cars, inherited wealth, and disregard for the environment.

But destiny has other plans. When disaster strikes in Lapland's pristine wilderness, Kat and Mikael find themselves drawn together. In their struggle for survival, they uncover shared values and a connection they never expected.

Will Kat's heart thaw, granting her a second chance at love, or will it remain frozen forever? 

To Melt A Frozen Heart whisks you from London's bustling streets to Lapland's enchanting landscapes, where the Northern Lights and twinkling stars illuminate Kat and Mikael’s path.
