This London Love
Page 25
2: Bridget Jones’s Diary
Ahhh, Bridget! Renee Zellwegger gives the performance of her career as the bumbling heroine in this gorgeous London rom-com. Turkey curry buffet, a delicious fight scene, fancy dress and lashings of white wine. What’s not to like?
1: Notting Hill
A dazzlingly pretty Notting Hill is the perfect backdrop for this tale of bumbling boy meets famous girl — and who does bumbling better than Hugh Grant? This is writer Richard Curtis’s finest hour, with perfect lines planted throughout the script. Beautifully re-watchable.
READ LONDON CALLING!
Read about where it all started for Jess & Lucy, with Kate an able cheerleader!
Jess Sharp is at a crossroads — back in London, living in her parents’ spare room, jobless and single. Not quite the irresistible package she was aiming for at age 32. One night, things take an upward turn when she meets Lucy, who could be a game-changer. However, everything in her riotously chaotic life seems to get in the way, including her best friend’s wedding, far too much tequila and the ghosts of girlfriends past. The course of true love has never been so injury-prone. Will Jess overcome her romantic ineptitude and find her happy ever after? Or will she continue to trip over her own feet in the race for romance?

READ THE LONG WEEKEND!
Secrets. Lies. Romance. Wine. Nine friends. Four nights.
Twenty years since meeting at university, a group of friends rent a house in Devon to celebrate. Fresh air, sandy beaches and historic friendships - what could possibly go wrong?
The catch is, university sweethearts Vic & Stevie are on the rocks, their three-year marriage floundering, while Kat & Abby’s combustible relationship looks set to ignite at any second. Meanwhile, Tash & Laura have downed responsibilities & kids for the weekend and are ready for some fun; single CID sergeant Geri can’t wait to get away from the London scene to reboot her slumbering love life and that’s not to mention Stu & his boyfriend Darren who bring their own man-sized baggage…
Add in laughs, simmering tension, romance & no shortage of wine and you’ve got all the ingredients for a rollercoaster ride of a long weekend…

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Like any book, this one wouldn’t be in your hands without the help and support of many people — so without further ado, I give you my stellar supporting cast.
First up, muchas gracias once again to Jeremy Cope, Jamie Cootes and Lola Dog for another couple of weeks in their fabulous Spanish home that always results in flowing writing, together with flowing vino tinto, tapas & trufas. Mercadona rules!
Gratitude and thanks to my beta readers for your constructive and ever-so-useful feedback which is greatly appreciated: Jeremy Cope, Gary McKee, Tammara Adams, Angela Peach, Rachel Batchelor, Sheryl Scott and Emma Young. Also thanks to my niece-in-law Gemma Bicknell for her invaluable floristry advice — everything I know about being a florist, I learned from the best in the business! If you are in or around Malton, North Yorkshire, do call into The Topiary Tree for some fabulous flowers.
As ever, thanks also to my awesome cover designer Kevin Pruitt who pulled this one out of the bag when I was tearing my hair out — you are a superstar. Thanks also to my editor extraordinaire Gill Mullins for her skills and enthusiasm; and finally to my typesetter and all-round cheerleader Adrian McLaughlin — I simply couldn’t do this without any of your help, so all three of you stand up and take a bow!
Much love & thanks to my wife Yvonne for reading this manuscript once, twice, a zillion times and for being an unfailing support in every way possible.
And last but by no means least, thanks to you for reading. Every email, Facebook message or tweet makes me smile and gives me the encouragement to keep going. I hope you enjoy this book and let me know what you think of it!
