But all is not lost ! Another hilarious high-concept romantic comedy from Jenny Colgan. While Katie's glad it's not a man's world any more, she'd be quite pleased if there were more men in it - or at least single ones, anyway. More likely to get murdered than married, according to gleeful media reports, Katie resigns herself to the fact there's no sex in the city and heads for the hills - or the Scottish highlands, to be precise. Despite the fact she's never been a girl for wellies - and Fairlish is in the middle of nowhere - the tiny town does have one major draw: men. Lots of them. But while Katie relishes the chance to do battle with armies of admirers, she's not reckoned on going head to head with her grumpy new boss, Harry, shadowy developers intent on destroying the beautiful countryside and Mrs McClockerty, the least suitable hotelier since Norman Bates. At least there's the local eye-candy to distract her, including gorgeous newshound Iain. But he is at loggerheads with Harry, and Harry despises her.

With a ball to organise and the fear that once the outside world knows about the abundance of single men, they will be overrun with women, she has her work cut out for her to make it all work. ***The Characters*** Katie is a strong willed c...more

***The Background*** Jenny Colgan is a popular writer from a town called Prestwick in the south west of Scotland. She has written lots of books but in this one, her Scottish side comes out in a lovable look at a small area in the Highlands. ***The Story*** Katie works in London for a public relations company. She is at a stage in her life where she is bored and desperately wants a change from the same old routines of work and going out to trendy clubs with her friends, who are all in search of the perfect man.
