Since November 2009Chick Lit Classics: Stealing The Show by Christina Jones

Chick Lit Classics is a new feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!
This week I’ve picked one of Christina Jones’s older books Stealing The Show. It was a toss up between that and Running The Risk and I think Stealing The Show just shaded it! I’ve been a huge fan of Christina Jones’s earlier books and I think it’s a huge huge shame they aren’t still available to buy new. I truly think Christina’s publishers should re-publish her older books because they are classic reads and deserve re-designed and modern covers!
When Nell Bradley discovers a set of dilapidated gallopers - an antique roundabout with carved horses - for sale, she is delighted. She and her brothers, Danny and Sam, run a traditional fair which, so far, has afforded them a good living. But times are changing, and Danny and Sam are keen to expand by investing in more ambitious rides. Nell, more of a traditionalist, loathes the new technology. And she’s also having second thoughts about the man to whom she is unofficially engaged. So Nell buys the gallopers secretly and arranges to have them renovated. But what she hadn’t realised is that the horses come with their own very sexy restorer . . .
