Review
"Dating can be daunting at any age, but Earls paints the battle of the sexes as a friendly duel with plenty of promising common ground....A well-crafted and genuinely romantic book."
--"Publishers Weekly"
"In "Perfect Skin," when you least expect it, love can come right up and
surprise you. Nick Earls has a decided knack for screwball comedy and creating
oddball characters who find love in many unexpected places. "Perfect Skin"
is a perfectly quirky delight."
--Karen Moline, author of "Belladonna"
"Don't miss out on this charming and quirky story of a thirty-something single father coping with romance, fatherhood, dermatology, and '80s hair. If you want to laugh out loud, read "Perfect Skin,""
--Libby Schmais, author of "The Perfect Elizabeth"
"Funny and moving...with complex characters and compelling examinations of the ambivalence that sometimes accompanies grief."

Product Description
This is a touching, frank and laugh-out-loud look at commitment and what it is to be thirty-something in a post-Duran Duran age. Ten years have passed since Jon Marshall's footloose bachelor days, and he's come a long way. He's a partner in his own practice, owns a nice house in a nice suburb and cruises town in a Beemer. But life hasn't taken the path Jon guessed it would back in his twenties. His wife died six months ago leaving him in grief and the single father of a six-month-old baby. Over the next few weeks Jon is forced to confront and overcome the challenges of back hair, dating etiquette, clumsiness with domestic pets, and more importantly the guilt he feels about his wife's death. But his daughter and the mysterious Ash are going to teach him something infinitely more important, how to love.

This is a great book! It's a story about an ordinary single father trying to bring up his little baby. The main character gets himself into all sorts of hysterical situations, which will definitely make you laugh out loud!
Nick Earls is Australia's answer to Nick Hornby (only better in my opinion!!)

Jon from Bachelor Kisses has grown up - or has he? A few years on he has settled into being a very ordinary doctor and slightly better single father. Single father? His wife had the temerity to die on him leaving him with a gorgeous little girl. Sad? Sometimes. But nearly always funny, in a dangerously laugh out loud way! Only Jon could get stuck into the situations he does - watch for the scenes with Katie's cat Flag.

A follow on from batchelor kisses. explains the world of richie, an australian doctor, trying to get through life dealing with a new kid, a fitness regime, two gay friends and the fact that he's just lost his wife and now he's attracted to a student. A classical touch of British cynicism with an Australian touch.
