…And it’s great!

Closer Magazine give it 4 STARS!

“Lawyer Alice gets a big shock when she finds out <SPOILER>  has emptied her accounts and run up debts in her name. So what does Alice do? Trail the thief across the world with the help of a hunky fraud investigator, of course!

Refreshing, fun and sexy, this is a perfect beach read.”

Alice Love hits stores tomorrow, so to celebrate, I’m giving away a fab prize pack: a shiny copy of the new book, PLUS a copy of my debut, The Popularity Rules, too!

How can you win? Well, in the book, Alice Love discovers that wearing a particular red silk cocktail dress makes her feel like an entirely new woman…. capable of all kinds of escapades she’d never normally dream of.

So, my question is this: what’s the one outfit you love to wear that makes you feel bold, brave, and just a little bit reckless?

Comment below, telling us about it, and you could win!

Competition closes on Monday, 12th July, so get commenting!

(Winner picked at random, UK entrants only, I’m afraid – you US folks will get your chance with the American edition next year).

O Canada

April 1, 2010

For me, locations aren’t so much a backdrop in my novels, but more a main character in themselves. Whether it’s a city, neighbourhood, park or party, often, I’ll think up settings I want to use first, and then craft scenes around them. Sometimes I find myself going off in new (geographic) directions just because I [...]

On Enthusiasm..

February 17, 2010

The talented Megan Crane on the virtues of enthusiasm:
I love romance novels, chick lit books, perfect pop songs, so-called “predictable” stories that still make me teary, just about every romantic comedy ever made, boy bands (particularly old school boy bands with appalling hair), Disney movies (especially the kind featuring un-animated singing and dancing by supernaturally [...]
