Posted on Saturday, May 15th, 2010 by Danielle
Meet Abbie Arden, a quirky young woman who at last realizes her life’s passion: the written word. Abbie, fledgling editorial assistant, is assigned to the American Open, a tennis tournament held each August, where, among other things, she must interview Max Tadeo, a gorgeous, Spanish, professional tennis player (poor Abbie has a fetish for accents), and, well… Max is a tad unusual himself. Abbie encounters a few problems on her mission to become “superjournalist”: she thinks tennis is for people who enjoy chasing green balls (boring!); she has sworn off all men (even sexy Spaniards); and last but not least, Abbie wants “real” stories, not tennis fluff! Within the pages of Love Match, a sense of belonging envelops Abbie out of the blue, new friendships develop and investigative reporting takes a life-threatening twist. Love Match follows along as the neurotic but lovable heroine ultimately has to choose to live for love or for fear.

Charlotte Sinclair is getting on with her life when fate throws her a curveball courtesy of a fortune teller she meets at a friend’s hen party. The psychic tells her “Love comes through hope alone”, and while Charlotte is pretty cynical, a tiny part of her hopes that it might be true. She’s forced to work every day with her ex-husband Richard and his new partner Suzie, but she won’t let on how much seeing him every day gets to her. The pair are sent on a work trip to Yorkshire (much to Suzie’s chagrin!) and there they meet 2 charities vying for the council’s art funding, and consequently Charlotte finds herself getting pretty close to both Heath and Paul. However, she’s sure no man out there is honest and manages to find a fault in both of them. But is Charlotte pushing away a potential love by being so cynical? Is love really so hard to get?
Katie Agnew’s next book, Saints V Sinners, is due out on 24th June and I’ve finally laid my hands on the cover. I absolutely adore the cover and I think it’s certainly going to stand out on the shelves. The blue is beyond gorgeous. Here is the synopsis for Saints V Sinners.
