    Book Review: Busy Woman Seeks Wife by Annie Sanders

    Posted on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by Leah

    anniesandersbusywomanseekswifeWhat you need,’ said Saffron, pouring Alex another glass of wine, ‘is someone to take away your worries, someone you can rely on, someone to deal with all the boring details.’ ‘But I’ve got a bloke already,’ protested Alex. ‘No, no!’ replied Saffron. ‘I mean, what you need is a WIFE.’

    On the surface Alex Hill is every inch the polished high-flying career woman. But that just means she’s rushed off her feet with barely enough time to take out the bins, let alone pull together an amazing product launch. Then she discovers her Spanish cleaner has been using her flat to turn tricks in the afternoons, and in her bed!

    And to top things off, her demanding mother - an ageing 60s style icon - has a bad fall, requiring her to move in with Alex indefinitely. With so much to juggle, Alex begins to realise that she needs someone more committed than a cleaner - so she advertises for ‘a wife’.

    Enter Ella - a brilliant cook and carer. But Ella isn’t quite what she appears, and pretty soon Alex is contemplating ‘divorce’...

    Author of the Week: Annie Sanders

    Posted on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by Leah

    annie_sanders_images2Annie Sanders, one of our favourite authors, is in fact two people: Annie Ashworth and Meg Sanders and they are a huge hit here at chicklitreviews. I’ve read and reviewed Warnings of Gales and will be posting a review of Busy Woman Seeks Wife after this post. Chloe has reviewed The Gap Year For Grown Ups and all of the novels we’ve read thus far have been brilliant. Here is a small biography of Annie & Meg:

    Annie Ashworth and Meg Sanders met at ante–natal classes and bonded as they learnt the benefits of raspberry leaf tea and relaxation breathing. Neither remedy worked but a friendship was born. They started out together with a mission to save the planet from grammatical horrors and badly�placed apostrophes by offering their services as website content writers. Luckily they were rescued from catatonia (after a very dull foray with a government quango report) by the commission to write a book. A tedious train journey spawned the germ of an idea for a novel and the rest is literary legend...

    They are the authors of Goodbye, Jimmy Choo, Warnings of Gales, The Xmas Factor, Busy Woman Seeks Wife, The Gap Year For Grown Ups and their latest release, out in August, Getting Mad, Getting Even which sounds fabulous. Their seventh novel is already up on Amazon due for release in 2010.

    To find out how two authors can write one novel, take a look over on their website to find out exactly how they do it! Believe me, it’ very interesting - I always wonder how two people can write one novel.

    If you haven’t read an Annie Sanders novel, they are well worth reading. Both that I’ve read so far have been brilliant and I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest!

    Book News: Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes

    Posted on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by Chloe
    • Please note the cover image can now be found on this later post: The Brightest Star in the Sky Cover

    It’s not due out until October 29th but Amazon already have the synopsis for Marian Keyes’ latest book, Brightest Star in the Sky. Here it is:

    “At 66, Star Street in Dublin, someone is watching over the lives of the people living in its flats. But no one is aware of it – yet… One of them is ready to take the plunge and fall in love; another is torn between two very different lovers. For some, secrets they want to stay buried will come to light and for others, the unveiling of those secrets will have tragic consequences. Fate is on its way to Star Street, bringing with it love and tragedy, friendship and heartbreak, and the power to change their lives in the most unexpected of ways…”

    I have recently read my first few Marian Keyes books and very much enjoyed them, so I shall be looking for it when it’s released later on in the year. We’ll post a picture of the cover as and when it becomes available!

    Book Cover: The Runaway Wife by Susy McPhee

    Posted on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by Chloe

    The cover for Susy McPhee’s new book, The Runaway Wife, out on September 17th, is finally up at Amazon. If it’s as good as her debut book Husbands and Lies, then it’ll be a great read. Here’s the synopsis in case you missed it before:

    “Marion Bishop’s life has fallen apart. Her daughter Hope was killed in a hit-and-run accident six months ago, and now Sam, her beloved husband, has walked out. Left alone with her grief, Marion has begun to contemplate the unthinkable. However, even her suicide plans go awry.

    Firstly, she’s all out of pills, and then she’s mugged when she goes out to get more. In fact, it’s the mugging that wakes her up to the fact that she’s perhaps not quite so ready to die as she’d thought: an awkward realisation when you have a knife at your throat. When her mugger’s girlfriend intervenes in the attack, an unlikely friendship blossoms between the two women and Marion begins to contemplate a future. And what of Sam? He may have given up on their marriage but he hasn’t given up on Marion entirely.”

    Published by Ebury in September, it looks to be a great read.
