Oh no. This is so not happening. Her whole life Kat Taylor has been reaching for the brass ring and coming away with nothing but sore knuckles. Not this time. Her flighty Aunt Lila gave her a charming house on Martha's Vineyard for the summer, and now some arrogant, amused, and, okay, surprisingly hunky, British author named Lawrence Kendall says he has a claim to the same cottage! If he thinks that just because he's suave and good-looking and...and...has that hairy chest and great accent that he can woo her into leaving, well, he can die trying...Kat Taylor may be strange - and rather bewitching - in her foot-stamping protestations, but she is not getting the house. It was granted to Lawrence first and that is that. So. There we are. Very sorry, nice to meet you, have a lovely summer - somewhere else. The last thing Lawrence needs to add to his writer's block is some woman skulking about the house, humming, looking distractingly attractive. Bloody hell. She's not budging. Right. Perhaps the only thing to do is make a temporary peace and ignore each other...for two months. Right. Should be no trouble at all...

This is the best book from Jane Blackwood so far.
I absolutely loved it! It was a lovely feel good romance and the characters of Kat and Larry were just brilliant as well as all the other secondary characters.
This is a keeper for me and I would definately recommend reading at least once, I shall be reading it more than that.

You Had Me at Goodbye by Jane Blackwood is a fun well written romance novel. Kat Taylor life is a mess and heads to Martha's Vineyard for the summer to her aunt's cottage. Lawrence Kendall was also promised the cottage by Kat's deceased husband. They find themselves stuck with each other for the summer. This author takes the classic storyline and makes a heartfelt novel with strong characters and give the reader and amazing afternoon of reading. If you enjoy this genre I would also read A Hard Man Is Good To Find ,The Sexiest Dead Man Alive both by Jane Blackwood and Crazy for You by Kate Angell.

Kat and Lawrence find that they've been double-booked into a summer home. There are many more twists and turns to the plot, but the thing I liked best about this book is the writing. It's excellent. The author does a great job of creating characters the reader will root for and care about. It's a sweet and wistful love story about second chances. If you like characters that leap off the page and a story that will stick with you once the book's done, buy this one.
