What to expect
This Christmas, love is top of Florence Fairfax’s wish list
'Like eating a box of chocolates where every one is a violet cream' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'My only complaint is I can't put Sophia Money-Coutts' books down!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Hugely enjoyable novel from a mistress of the genre' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘You want me to write a list? Like a shopping list?'
'Exactly. But for what you want from a man’
Florence Fairfax might have been single for quite a while – well, forever, actually – but she isn’t lonely. She loves her job at the little bookshop in Chelsea and her beloved cat Marmalade who keeps her company at night. She’s perfectly happy, thank you.
So when Florence meets an eccentric love coach who asks her to write a wish list describing her perfect man, she refuses to take it seriously. Until later that week, Rory, a handsome blond man with the sexual athleticism of James Bond she asked for just happens to walk into the bookshop…
Rory seems to tick all of the boxes on Florence’s list. But is she about to discover there’s more to love than being perfect on paper?
