NEW RELEASE
The Boot Camp - Kate Harrison (2012)
The story centres around three women who could not be more different from each other who spend six days at boot camp using muscles they didn't know existed. Darcy joined boot camp after being a war reporter in Afghanistan. Her agent wants to show she's still got what it takes to be good at her job as a newsreader. Vicki is married to Dave and has two kids. She won her place after her sister entered her into a magazine competition because she thought she deserved some pampering time. She was expecting fluffy slippers and warm bathrobes. Then there is Steph who, after being dumped by her ex, feels she needs this boot camp to show him what he's missing out on. She is very clumsy and funny in all the things she gets up to but she can't help looking after everyone else. Of the ex-forces trainers, Staff Ryan is the sweet caring one while Staff Pepper takes no nonsense from anyone, particularly tardiness. This was a lighthearted read which has every funny moment spot on. (KD)

They have nothing to lose but their muffin tops! SIX... days of dawn runs, blistered feet and non-stop sit-ups... FIVE... women with a battalion's worth of body-image baggage between them... FOUR... poster beds are not included - but it won't matter after ten hours working out... THREE... meals a day - if you count half an apple and an oatcake as dinner... TWO... ex-forces personal trainers with testosterone to spare... ONE GOAL: To feel like a million dollars, for the first time in your life. Leave your Mars Bars and Marlboros at the door... this is Boot Camp!" The Boot Camp is out in August. You can check out the first chapter at the author's website.
