NEW RELEASE
Summer of Love - Katie Fforde (2011)
Single mum Sian has just moved with her young son Rory to a country cottage where they can grow vegetables. Her devoted friend Richard is hoping she'll soon decide to settle down with him. Sian meets friendly local Fiona, who offers her the use of her barn to do her furniture restorations. As the twice-married Fiona tries a bit of internet dating, her wandering son, Angus, is about to return to the village. And it seems he and Sian have met before. Obviously it is no surprise as to who Angus is but what follows is a pleasant romantic read.
Katie Fforde's 2011 release Summer of Love is about a single mother who moves to the country with her son for a fresh start. The summary says: "Sian Bishop has only had one moment of recklessness - a moment that resulted in her beloved son Rory. It's not that she doesn't love the outcome of that wild night, but since then she has always taken the safer route. So she sees it as a fresh start when a dear friend - dependable, devoted Richard - persuades her to move to the beautiful English countryside. And leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind, she throws herself into the picture-postcard cottage garden, her furniture restoration business and Rory. But her good life is torpedoed on a glorious summer's evening with the arrival of Gus Berresford. One-time explorer and full-time heart-breaker, Gus is ridiculously exciting, wonderfully glamorous and the most inappropriate man that Sian could ever imagine for herself. And yet she already has. Because Gus and Sian have met before. Sian is poised on the brink of a perfect new life; her vegetable patch is heaving, she is fighting off wardrobe commissions and to cap it all, she has a lovely new group of friends. She has no use for a fling, and she can't fall in love with the most unlikely suitor ever to cross her path - twice. But who knows what can happen in a summer of love." Summer of Love is out in March.
