About this listen
Sophie Wells is a successful photographer with a focus on putting the past firmly behind her. When Josh Strachan returns to the seaside town of Cornwall from the States to run his family's hotel, he can't understand why the fun, sexy girl has zero interest in letting him--or any man, for that matter--into her life. He also can't understand how he's been duped into employing Sophie's impulsive friend, Tula, whose crush on him is decidedly unrequited.
Both girls remain mum about the reasons behind Sophie's indifference to love. But that doesn't mean Josh is going to quit trying.

Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Critic reviews
Enjoyed this story.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
If I have a criticism of this novel, it is that the all the loose threads come to gather a little bit too sweetly, all the uncertainty resolves with very pat answers.
Beverly Crick’s narration is paced properly for the story and she differentiates male and female voices well. The dialogue is sometimes difficult to follow when characters of the same gender are bantering rapidly...but in those cases it rarely matters which one said what.
I wholeheartedly recommend anything by Jill Mansell.
Charming characters. Thank you again to Jill Mansell

I've never heard a narrator of Mansell's books that I didn't like - until now. This narrator's voice droned on in a very boring fashion, and some of her voices for the characters were not good at all. At one point a male & female couple both had some bizarre Irish-sounding accent that made it hard to tell one from the other (although it hadn't started out that way). She did, however, capture the American accent very well (something that doesn't always happen). I won't purchase any other audiobook with this narrator because instead of drawing you into the story, her voice was very distracting.
Loved the story, not the narrator

AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR:
I’d prefer a different narrator. Beverly Crick used a cockney and/or Irish accent for some characters. It bothered me. I love some British accents, but not these.

DATA:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 352 pages. Swearing language: none. Sexual content: none. Setting: current day Cornwall area, U.K. Book copyright: 2014. Genre: contemporary romance.
Enjoyable stories.

I sure hope it gets better.....
Well, I've finished this book and still feel the same. There were so many different story lines that it was really difficult to keep up, a lot of the characters all sounded the same, and some of the accents were so EXAGGERATED that it was painful to listen to.
Normally I like Jill Mansell, but this book......
