Late Night Shopping - Carmen Reid

I read a book by Carmen Reid a few years ago called Three In A Bed and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't hear anything about the author's other work until recently when a friend gave me this book - Late Night Shopping - which according to said friend was "my Cup of tea".

After reading the first book in this two book series 'The Personal Shopper' I went on to read this quite quickly. I bought them both together from Amazon so was very pleased to say I liked the first book. The second book didn't let me down either. ~The story~ The books together follow personal shopper Annie Valentine on her search for a man and happiness.

Annie and her new boyfriend Ed met at Annie's sons school where Ed is a music teacher they slowly got together and moved in together. The second books picks ...  Read the complete review
