More About Tess

Reader Reviews

"Every once in a while, you pick up a book that doesn't just entertain you, but completely captures your heart. Time to Shine is exactly that kind of story. It is a breathtakingly beautiful, deeply moving, and profoundly inspiring read that leaves you feeling lighter, stronger, and completely full of hope...

Tess Molesworth has written a masterpiece about resilience, female friendship, and the beautiful truth that it is never too late to start over... An absolute must-read. This book is a gift to anyone who has ever forgotten their own worth."

Reader Reviews

"... This story was emotional, empowering, sensual, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at the same time. 'Time to Shine' is a reminder that it's never too late to start over, never too late to heal, and never too late to become the version of yourself you were always meant to be. Easily one of my favourite reads."

Reader Reviews

"If I could give 'Time to Shine' more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This book completely pulled me in from the very first page and never let you go... And the way Delaney slowly evolved throughout the book made the title "Time to Shine' feel incredibly meaningful by the end... I'm officially invested in the Reignite Love and Life series and cannot wait for the next book."

I'm sure we've all got a few, and I understand if you don't want the world to know😘

However, I won't shy away from a little truth...
Judged a book by its cover - I literally won't buy or read a book if I don't like the cover. Unless a friend says I HAVE to read it.
Lost sleep from reading - I have had to put an extra layer of make-up on to cover the lack of sleep evidence, LOL.
Skipped ahead - unless it is an ebook, I will regularly read the last page... I just have to know.
