Product Description

Product Description
Sophy's single and happy about it. She does, however, have an imaginary boyfriend, Dominic, a little white lie designed to keep Sophy's mother off her back. Which is fine, until his presence is demanded at a family wedding. So does Sophy admit Dominic is a fantasy? Oh no. Sophy hires an escort. But when the distinctly delicious Josh Carmichael arrives on her doorstep, Sophy can tell things are going to get tricky. And the wedding is only the beginning...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant author to watch., 5 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Asking for Trouble (Paperback)
This has got to be one of the funniest books I have read in a long time, a fantastic heroine who isnt your usual stick insect, a cast of characters who endear them to you and you want to get to know, and a great rough but very smooth leading man to drool over. Loved the antisipation and the butterfly in the tummy feelings that her situations brought to you. A great read couldn't put it down and can't wait for her next book to come out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, 30 April 2003
This review is from: Asking for Trouble (Paperback)
This was the 2nd book I read by the author and it was just a hilarious as the 1st one. She is so funny and full of life, I just can't put down her books. This books is really hitting reality when you are stuck at a wedding that is going to take place within a few months and feeling left out because you have no Boyfriend. What do you do. Well do you hire one and not get caught, or do you go by yourself. Read the book and find out what happens. It is so reality check time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it now!, 12 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Asking for Trouble (Paperback)
I really enjoyed every minute of this book. Sophy is a great heroine, the book motors along and all the characters are believable. As other reviewers say, this is at the top end of the 'contemporary women's fiction' scale. Can't wait for more!
