****4 stars
As with all books by Jill Mansell "Take a Chance on Me" will pull you in quickly and have you not wanting to put it down. There are many likeable characters that you go between and it keeps the pace moving right along. I found myself really drawn to Ash and Abbie. I did think that Cleo's story, the main character, drug out a bit and would have liked to seen something happen a little sooner in the book. It almost seemed rushed at the end. Overall, I really liked the book.. It wasn't my favorite Jill Mansell, but still a wonderful read.
Book Jacket Summary:
Cleo Quinn doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to men, but now Will's come along. Handsome and attentive, he could be her Mr Right. Things are definitely looking up for Cleo... apart from one small problem with a rather large ego. Johnny LaVenture, sculptor extraordinaire and her personal childhood nemesis, is back in Channing's Hill and tormenting her as if he'd never been away. Meanwhile Cleo's sister Abbie has a problem of her own – husband Tom has become distant and withdrawn, and she's determined to find out why. But will the shocking truth mean the end of their idyllically happy marriage? The sisters are about to discover that the past can come back to haunt you, and that love can flourish in the unlikeliest of places...
