I read constantly and have a huge collection. This is my way of keeping track of what I have read. It is also a way to reach out and open up discussion on what others thought of the same book. I tend to have trouble finding new authors or hearing about good reads, so would always love your input or suggestions.

Hard to Get by Jessica Fox
****4 stars
This is the third book in the Hen Night Prophecies. I have to say that it has been a while since I read the first, but I only recently read the second and have found that this one is my favorite thus far. It is about Charlotte that has chosen to keep to herself in measure and not completely open up, which holds all that are close at arms length. After being hurt and having to see the betrayal day after day as her ex-husband is her co-worker, Charlotte's uses the experience as another lesson as to why you simply can't trust men. I guess I just found this character so believable with the way she has chosen to live as self preservation. It was a great romance that has you cringing at some of the assumptions that Charlotte makes.
Book Jacket Summary:
"Love will come through hope alone"
Or so a fortune-teller tells Charlotte at her future sister-in-law Zoe's hen night. But the fact is Charlotte's love life is utterly hopeless. She's decidedly single and not happy about her ex-husband Richard working with her at the Arts Council, especially as he's dating her boss.
When Charlotte's and Ricard's work trip to Yorkshire includes a visit to the Hope Foundation. Charlotte has to laugh-although she wonders if the sparks between them really has been snuffed out. And that about devoted single dad Paul? And the dashing, dark and brooding Heath? Perhaps Charlotte has reason to hope after all.
