Review
'"Warm, witty and down to earth, and a lovely curl-up-and-enjoy read. A sparkling debut from a talented new author." Liz Young'
Product Description
Teaching full-time and acquiring all the oddball kids in the new intake are only the first of Beth's challenges when Alan leaves her after 25 years of marriage. She also has to turn her untidy Cambridge house into a B&B to make ends meet and then counteract the effect of regular theatrical guests on her stage-mad teenage children. Alan doesn't even have the decency to stay out of her life. Instead he makes disapproving incursions back in with his saccharine-laden new partner. But Beth's real worry is lodger Owen Pendragon - a character actor with wicked hazel eyes, a quirky sense of humour and a tendency to walk around her home sexily damp in his bathrobe. With attitudes and lifestyles clashing, will Beth and Owen ever find common ground? All they can do is to take things 'stage by stage'.

A great, funny read,
By LyzzyBee (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stage by Stage (Transita) (Paperback)
The perfect book for that poorly-on-your-birthday situation, this is a lighthearted romance, full of fun and laughs. The characters are nicely observed, especially the teenagers, and the sometimes complex situations well handled. I loved the theatrical details (shades of the Blue Door Theatre Company - hooray!) and the range of characters. All told in a lovely jolly but believeable voice, and indeed a source of inspiration to those of us still just about under 40!

gives you a great big grin,
By Cheryl "vicar and real person" (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stage by Stage (Transita) (Paperback)
I really couldn't put this down. It made me laugh and left me with a warm glow and a great big grin. It is consistently entertaining and fun without requiring you to leave your brain at the door. Fantasy fulfillment for the mature woman and about time too. Read it- you won't regret it. And being a resident of a Cambridge village myself only added to my enjoyment.

A Feel Good Modern Romance,
By Vikki (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stage by Stage (Transita) (Paperback)
A feel good modern romance that felt like (to me) "Chick Lit"..... I just couldnt get my head round the fact that Beth was 46! lol....she didnt seem 46, and could just have easily been 10 years younger :o)I know nothing about "The Stage" and although that area of the book was interesting, some of it did seem to go over the top of my head. Owen.....PHWOAH! ;o)
