Description
Fall in love with Jilly Cooper, one of Britain's most popular authors, in this up-beat and unmissable rom-com. Octavia is used to having anything (or anyone) she wants - but will she get her just desserts this time? Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Marian Keyes, Dolly Alderton and Jane Fallon. 'Jilly is about bringing joy into your life: daft, silly, boozy joy ... There is no one else like Cooper' -- Guardian 'The Jane Austen of our time' - HARPERS & QUEEN 'Joyful and mischievous' -- Jojo Moyes 'Fun, sexy and unputdownable' -- Marian Keyes 'Outstanding read. If I could have given this book ten stars, I would have.' -- ***** Reader review 'Utterly timeless! Love it!' -- ***** Reader review 'Guaranteed to lift the spirits of every female who reads it. Brilliant!!' -- ***** Reader review 'Couldn't put it down' -- ***** Reader review ******************************************************************** As soon as Octavia catches a glimpse of Jeremy in the nightclub, she knows she just has to have him. It doesn't matter that he's just got engaged to an old school friend of hers: good natured Gussie. His look suggested bed rather than breakfast, and made her weak at the knees... Rich and stunning, Octavia is used to men falling in love with her at a moment's notice and an invitation to join Gussie and Jeremy for a cozy weekend on a canal barge comes like a gift from the gods. How can she fail to hook Jeremy? But the other part of the foursome is whizz-kid business tycoon Gareth Llewellyn, a swarthy Welshman with all the tenderness of a scrum-half...definitely not Octavia's type! And one way and another, he certainly manages to thwart her plans...
