Posted By Chloe on August 25th, 2009

Finally we have a synopsis for Erica James’ latest book, The Queen of New Beginnings. It’s due for release through Orion on 18th February 2010, and there’s no cover yet but here’s the synopsis to whet your appetite!

Clayton Miller’s life is a mess. His career as one of the country’s best comedy script writers has stalled and his long term girlfriend has left him for his ex best friend and ex writing partner. Just when he thinks his life couldn’t get any worse, he commits a spectacularly public fall from grace and with the press hounding him, his agent banishes him to the middle of nowhere until the dust has settled.

At a remote country house he meets Alice …

Alice Shoemaker is a voiceover artist who habitually goes to great lengths to avoid telling the truth and after agreeing to help out a friend, by shopping and cleaning for the unknown man staying at Cuckoo House, she soon becomes suspicious that her strange and obnoxiously rude client has something to hide. But equally so, she has plenty to hide.

When they discover the truth about each other they form an unlikely friendship, but then Alice discovers Clayton has betrayed her in the worst possible way.”

Chick Lit Reviews has a re-design

We’ve had another re-design so let us know what you think and tell us of any errors you come across. It isn’t too different to our other design but this one is more HTML-geared.

I apologise if the site looks a bit weird, I’m trying to add “Home” to the navigation bar but it takes so long to update that I can’t tell whether or not it has worked!
