Product Description

Product Description

After that idiot of a husband ran off with that broomstick of a girl, single-mom Donna thinks there's no sunshine in her future. What she needs now is a hunk of a guy who loves her and her three-legged dog with no complications.

Solution? Call the police.

Mark is a single dad with two big worries – protect and serve, and his autistic son Karl. Desperately he wants someone who'll love him and his son without question and with no complications. He's been hurt before and Karl needs stability – not short dates. So he'll do anything for his kid – even lie to protect him.

Can these two get it together and get together? Is Mark the hunk Donna needs? Is Donna the rock Mark can lean on? If they look hard enough, they'll find Somebody to Love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant read! 19 July 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Somebody to love is that rare breed, a book that I wished I had written myself. I was miffed that real life intervened and I had to occasionally put the book down before I had finished.It has the lot, romance, heart ache giggles and cute animals.As someone who has worked with special needs children for many years I thought the autistic child Karl was very true to life.It is very sensitively written. I was rooting for Donna and Mark from page one. Read this book, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read! 27 Oct 2012
Format:Paperback
Another hilarious tale from a fabulous author who never fails to make me laugh out loud lots! The first book of Sheryl's that I read was only a few weeks ago, it was called Recipes for Distaster and my review can be found here. I couldn't wait to get started on this one, and once again, she has managed to produce another fantastic rib tickler!

Single Mom Donna has a bullying and cheating ex-husband and even though they're not together anymore, he still thinks he can control her life and mess their son about as and when he feels like it. She meets Mark, a single dad and policeman, and they hit it off immediately and would like their relationship to develop. He wants to look after her and protect her and she wants to share her life with him.

Mark, is keeping a secret from her though and the secret is that his son Karl is autistic. He hasn't told her about him yet, as in the past, people have not accepted his son and girlfriends have found it too much for them. Unbeknown to both of them, Donna is actually helping out at the centre that Karl goes to as she really feels that helping children such as Karl is her vocation in life and she wants to do this for a full time job.

They send each other many mixed messages and there are many hilarious moments when he thinks one thing and she thinks another and they totally get their wires crossed all the time, each not really knowing how the other feels.

This really is a wonderful story, not only is it a really lovely feel-good read, it also enabled me to learn a lot more about autism - a subject that I've been quite ignorant of in the past and I felt that reading about it in this way was a nice way for me to learn more.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! 30 Jun 2012
Format:Paperback
Donna is a single mum, getting on with life albeit not very confidently. The three greatest loves of her life are her son Matt, her rabbit Findus and her three legged dog Sade. Donna has had her heart broken, her confidence shattered and every ounce of self-worth drained from her body. Does Donna really need a man in her life? Cue the dashing policeman Mark, also having been hurt in the past, Mark falls head over heels for Donna. But, he has a lot riding on any sort of relationship he might enter into. He has a special needs son. But should he tell Donna? Would this frighten her off?
This fabulous book is a Rom Com with a difference. It's funny, its heart-breaking, and it will either make you sigh with contentment or scream with frustration. At times it made me weep. The special needs thread running through this book will tug at your heartstrings and give you a greater understanding of what it's like trying to find love when your life is full of complications.
Through this book, Sheryl Browne has captured the essence of love, life, family and the fear of giving away your heart. She has also perfectly captured the highs and lows of parenting a special needs child. But, this is a story focusing on the highs of life too and there are plenty of laughs throughout the book too and I did get caught out unawares sometimes by the comedic element of the book and found myself chuckling away, much to the amusement of those around me.
If you are a fan of Jill Mansell you will love this book. The characters jump of the page at you and make you instantly care about them - whether you want to or not! They are interesting, funny and are as vital to the book as the main characters. Each one offers something valuable to the story and you just can't stop yourself liking them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Romantic Comedy 28 Feb 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
Donna O' Connor, raising a teenage son whose father tends to ignore him, and reeling from a tumultuous marriage to same, returns to find her car illegally parked and Officer Mark Evans, a blue-eyed hunk in uniform, coming out of the post office aimed directly for her vehicle. Instead of a ticket, they agree to have coffee.

Because he's afraid he'll scare her off, Mark won't tell her he has a young, autistic son. She won't tell him about her miserable marriage and her hopes and dreams of leaving her grueling office job and oppressive manager.

Donna's life includes a three legged dog, a rabbit named Fundus, and a wonderful son who understands his mother is doing her best for him. Mark is torn between getting the right care for his son and doing what is right for Donna.

Through a multitude of miscommunications, intrusion from Donna's well meaning mother and Mark's senile father, and hilariously funny star-crossed scenarios Donna and Mark finally connect when she lands a day care position where Mark's son, Jack, is in care.

In this wonderful story of love and redemption the animals play a large part including Jack's service dog, Starbuck.

Well done, once again, Sheryl!
