NEW RELEASE
Looking for Fireworks - Holly Cavendish (2012)
Laney Barwell has been looking for her Mr Right in London after breaking up with her long-time boyfriend because he was too predictable. Though she hasn't found him in London, Laney is sure that he can't possibly be in her father's small village of the Cotswolds. But when her father becomes ill and needs someone to run his B&B, Laney has no choice but to move back home for a while. Not expecting to find any decent men in such a small village, Laney is pleasantly surprised to meet not one but two handsome men who set her heart aflutter. Of course, the more likely candidate, Martin, doesn't exactly cause fireworks when he's near her, but then again the fireworks Toby causes are not always pleasant and usually come complete with an attitude. Despite being a city girl, Laney attempts to make it in the country, but will she survive and find the love she's always wanted? Or should she return to London and to her ex - predictability and all? This was a great novel that kept me wanting to turn the page and find out what happened next. While some of it was very predictable, I still found it endearing and rooted for Laney. (AS)
Looking for Fireworks is the latest book by Ruth Saberton but written under yet another pen-name (Holly Cavendish). The summary says: "When her father becomes ill, single city girl Laney Barwell moves to the Cotswolds to look after him. She's been looking for fireworks in her love life ever since she broke up with her predictable ex-boyfriend Giles, but she has no thoughts of kindling the spark she's looking for here. If she can't find love in a big city like London - with all its internet dating, singles nights, and socials - how can she ever hope to meet the man of her dreams in the tiny village of St Pontian? But there are two prospects when she gets there: Martin who can always be depended on for a kind word of advice. And Toby, who is distant, but who sets her heart ablaze. When it comes to love, should Laney trust the logic of her head or the racing of her heart?" Looking for Fireworks is out in October.
