Book Review: The Seven Secrets of Happiness by Sharon Owens

Posted on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 by Leah

Ruby O’Neill thought she had it all: a gorgeous husband, a rock-solid marriage and a fairytale house. Until one night, on Christmas Eve, Ruby’s world is shattered into tiny little pieces when she finds out her husband has died in a car accident.

As Ruby’s friend Jasmine helps her through her grief, Ruby decides to move house and buy out the shop in which she works. As Ruby and Jasmine make a success of the shop, Ruby’s life seems to be getting back on track, but she still feels as if she’ll never love again - until she meets Tom, a fellow widower. Are Ruby and Tom sufficiently over their grief to be able to love again or will it all end in disaster?

Book Cover: A Perfect Proposal by Katie Fforde

Posted on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 by Leah

Katie’s Fforde’s next book, A Perfect Proposal (what an intriguing title - and Katie says she’s bad at thinking them up), is due for release on 10th June 2010 and the book cover has finally been released. I adore it - I’m so pleased Katie’s covers now look modern and fresh and A Perfect Proposal is no exception! Here is the fab synopsis:

Sophie Apperly has been supporting herself since she left school, but as far as her academic family are concerned she’s never had a ‘proper’ job. And because she’s currently in between work she’s despatched to look after Uncle Eric while his housekeeper is away. Here, whilst tidying his papers, she discovers a document relating to family business in America. Driven mad by her family and wanting to prove herself to them and bring in some much-needed income for them all, when her best friend Milly invites her over to New York she jumps at the chance - what’s more she’s lined up some nannying work for her to pay her way.

However, she’s hardly been in the country five minutes before disaster strikes. She suddenly finds herself with no work, nowhere to stay and very little money. Luckily Milly has a corner in her tiny apartment she can camp out in. A jaunt to an art gallery opening throws her into the path of Matilda - a grand old lady who is delighted to find someone who comes from the same part of the world as she grew up in. She is very taken with Sophie and invites her to her house in Connecticut for Thanksgiving. But Matilda’s grandson Luke is very suspicious of Sophie - what exactly does this English girl want, is she after her grandmother’s money? - and he’s determined to nip this growing friendship in the bud.
