Book Description
A CAPTIVATING NOVEL FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NANNY...
--This text refers to the
Paperback
edition.
Product Description
Nicky Hobbs loves teaching at the local primary school. She's idolised by her class - in particular ten year old Oscar Samuels - but she's starting to find she'd quite like some adult adoration for a change. Mark Samuels is a frazzled single father working all the hours God gives, to provide for his beloved son, Oscar. But he's unable to see that Oscar would prefer his presence to his presents once in a while. Ms. Hobbs knows Mr. Samuels is a heartless workaholic. Mr. Samuels is certain Ms. Hobbs is an interfering busybody. But when they finally meet they start to discover that first impressions can be deceptive. And perhaps they've both got a bit of learning to do.

This book was, as with all of Melissa Nathan's books, an absolute joy to read. The characters were likeable and interesting and there were many of those laugh-out-loud moments that we all need sometimes.
I was very saddened to read of Melissa's death earlier on in the year and wish to send my deepest condolences to her family. Her books brought delight to many readers, and for that we are all very grateful.

The wonderful tale of a school-teacher and the decisions she has to make in life. Utterly compulsive if slightly predictable. A great holiday read with enough twists to leave you satisfied and hooked on continuing.
This is the first novel I read by Melissa Nathan, but not the last. A great legacy she left behind for so many to enjoy- I thoroughly recommend it.

A modern take on Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, the learning curve applies to Nicky Hobbs and Mark Samuels. Oscar, his 10 year old son is the key to both of their lives as he moves into his last year at primary and has Miss Hobbs as his new teacher.
A lovely story with characters that can be fully related to. Every work place has some of these! Having only read 'The Nanny' before this I will definitely be seeking her previous work. Sadly due to her death there will be no more of these wonderfully cosy novels.
Easy to read with a no nonsense ending.

Funny and smart
Utterly lovely! A rare chick-lit book - very funny with sharp observations and believable characters. And I don't even like chick-lit!! Read more

Thank you Melissa
This book is brilliantly funny, and as ever, Nathan really brings the characters to life. I'm going to miss her writing so much.
