It is a sure bet this story will have you laughing and give you enough entertainment to leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy for days to come.” Rated 5 coffee cups. http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookReviews/barefootbymichelleholman.html

“A story of mayhem , family life and interferring biddies – Barefoot has it all.” – The Phantom Paragrapher

“I found Barefoot just as readble as Bonkers, if not more so. It’s a real page-turner as you just want to know how things will trun out. Plus it’s a real twist on the usual love story.” – kmtv 

For Knotted…

“High class chick lit, rollicking good fun and a very hard read to put down. High on my list of must-read novels.”- Wanganui Chronicle

“ This is one of those books that once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down. “Rated 9/10. – www.chicklitclub.com

For Bonkers…

“It’s a fantastical scenario, but suspend your disbelief and settle back to enjoy a lighthearted warm read from an exciting new novelist.” - New Idea

“This is a delicious and light read…Bonkers is a fluffy, feel-good fairytale which, despite its implausible plot, is filled with family personalities and dramas we can all relate to. Holman’s down-to-earth style makes this an entertaining indulgence.” - Herald on Sunday 06/01/2008

“There are plenty of laughs, as well as some more heartfelt moments during Bonkers — the debut novel from Kiwi Michelle Holman — and it’s worth a read.” - The Dominion Post 06/12/2007

“A quirky debut novel that meets all the criteria for a good girly read…it has a wonderful New Zealand flavour which illustrates just how ingenious us Kiwi girls can be.” - Taranaki Daily News 15/03/2008

…Just wanted to let you know that I have just finished the book “Bonkers” by Michelle Holman… and it was great. My son (7) summed it up while talking to one of our friends ” mum hasn’t been reading, she’s been looking at her book and then laughing”! I’ve just started reading the other book by Michelle Holman, Divine and am really enjoying it.” Teena Joyce, 13/1/2009.

“If you like your romances completely bonkers, Michelle Holman’s hilarious Divine is for you. After her husband decides to become a woman, trophy wife Tara has to move out of the family home so he can pay for his surgery. So Tara heads for the country, but becomes Mistress Fury – a telephone dominatrix! Totally made cow stuff – fantastic!”  – Women’s Day, 15/12/2008

 

 “This is a genuine, home-grown masterpiece that will ensure you never see farm life in quite the same light again. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry (and it will make you laugh until you cry!).” - Entertain Me, 2009.

“The picture the author paints of Tara forever getting into strife through her lack of knowledge and her insistence on wearing high heel boots for tasks they weren’t designed for is a hoot. As is her depiction of the town bully and his ham-fisted attempts to seduce her. Fortunately, there is also a handsome, patient and available farmer just across the road, who is able to effect rescue. A great read for when you need something to take your mind off things.”

 “Unearthed family secrets, a saucy new career and a darkly handsome farmer combine to create an entertaining story.” -  (Divine) Your Weekend Magazine, 22/11/2008

“Those who laughed out loud at Cambridge author Michelle Holman’s debut bestseller Bonkers are going to love her second novel (Divine).” – Matamata Chronicle, 9/12/2008

“More rollicking fun from Waikato-based Michelle Holman…” – (Divine) Herald on Sunday, 22/11/2008
