****4 stars
I loved this book as I have loved many of the other Katie Fforde books. She has a way of really spinning a story where I feel immersed within it. I have always loved to escape with a good book, and find that Fforde's books are able to transcend me to a place I haven't been before. I do feel the main character Laura was different from your normal chick lit heroines. She was quiet shy and down to earth. I really enjoyed seeing this character come alive. As always, I look forward to my next Fforde book.
Book Jacket Summary:
With the bookshop where she works about to close, hopeless romantic Laura Horsley, in a moment of uncharacteristic recklessness, finds herself agreeing to help organise a literary festival deep in the heart of the English countryside. But her initial excitement is rapidly followed by a mounting sense of panic when reality sinks in and she realizes just how much work is involved - especially when an innocent mistake leads the festival committee to mistakenly believe that Laura is a personal friend of the author at the top of their wish-list. Laura might have been secretly infatuated with the infamous Dermot Flynn ever since she studied him at university, but traveling to Ireland to persuade the notorious recluse to come out of hiding is another matter. Determined to rise to the challenge she sets off to meet her literary hero. But all too soon she's confronted with more than she bargained for - Dermot the man is maddening, temperamental and up to his ears in a nasty case of writer's block. But he's also infuriatingly attractive - and, apparently, out to add Laura to his list of conquests...
