Reviewer’s Thoughts

For those that like Sophie Kinsella style books, this is a cute story about a guy determined to prove he won’t fall for a woman…even after ten dates and a girl trying to keep to her vow of “no men” despite what she might think about the one the seems to be pursuing her.

Ed Mitchum’s sister thinks it’s time for him to find a more permanent woman, rather than having the revolving bed he does with woman only interested in his money.  To prove a point, Ed makes a bet with this sister and best friend that he can go ten dates with a woman without falling for her.  A lot of money is on the line, but Ed is confident he can win the bet.

Millie Brown has been hiding out in the countryside, staying away from her family and her cheating ex-boyfriend.  She’s hoping she can prove that she doesn’t need any of them to stand on her own two feet.  Enter Ed Mitchum.  He comes to her aid after an explosion at the local quarry scares the pony she was riding and then becomes a mystery to her.  Her pursues her endlessly, even when she’s rude to him and he makes her rethink her “no man” vow.

The story was very cute.  English stories always amuse me because of the quirkiness of the characters and Jane Linfoot didn’t disappoint with Ed and Mille.  Their relationship went from confrontational to hot in a matter of minutes.  When they stopped sneering at each other they discovered that they really did enjoy each other’s company and that the other was a soothing balm when they spoke of the things from their past that still hurt.  Regardless of a bet or one’s personal promise, these two couldn’t keep away from each if they tried.

About the Author

JaneI write fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines and a bit of an edge. Writing romance is cool, because I get to wear pretty shoes instead of gumboots. I live in a mountain kingdom in Derbyshire, England, where my family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos – happily, we’re in walking distance of a supermarket. I love hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things french. When I’m not on facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, I’ll be walking, or gardening. On days when I want to be really scared, I ride a tandem.
