Can love conquer all? A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match.
Katie Fforde lives in the beautiful Cotswold countryside with her
family, and is a true country girl at heart. Each of her books
explores a different profession or background and her research has
helped her bring these to life. She's been a porter in an auction
house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved
behind the scenes of a dating website, and she's even been on a Ray
Mears survival course. She loves being a writer; to her there isn't
a more satisfying and pleasing thing to do. She particularly enjoys
writing love stories. She believes falling in love is the best
thing in the world, and she wants all her characters to experience
it, and her readers to share their stories.

In Fforde's latest, which is just as charming as her previous eight novels (e.g., Second Thyme Around), Nel is appalled to learn that the land used for the local farmer's market is going to be sold to build vacation homes for the rich. As she mounts a vigorous campaign to stop the whole process, she runs up against the hunky Jake, who is handling the legal affairs for the opposition. The two can't help but be attracted to each other despite their opposing positions. Nel has a stodgy boyfriend, an understanding daughter, and a couple of sweet but messy dogs to complicate her life. Although slightly predictable, this novel is written with such spirit and old-fashioned good humor that readers cannot help but be totally captivated by Nel and her growing relationship with Jake. This is chick lit at its best for the 40-plus set. Recommended with enthusiasm for all public libraries.-Margaret Hanes, Sterling Heights P.L., MI Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
