"Touching, engrossing, and convincing...a rollicking ride of joy, disappointment, and self-discovery, which you'll want to devour in one sitting." - Daily Telegraph
Book Description
From the bestselling author of Going Home, which Sophie Kinsella hailed as "fabulous," comes a novel sure to touch and delight anyone who believes in love.
Laura Foster is a hopeless romantic. Her friends know it, her parents know it - even Laura acknowledges she lives either with her head in the clouds or buried in a romance novel. It's proved harmless enough, even if it hasn't delivered her a real-life dashing hero yet. But when her latest relationship ends in a disaster that costs her friendships, her job, and nearly her sanity, Laura swears off men and hopeless romantic fantasies for good.
With her life in tatters around her, Laura agrees to go on vacation with her parents. After a few days of visiting craft shops and touring the stately homes of England, Laura is ready to tear her hair out. And then, while visiting grand Chartley Hall, she crosses paths with Nick, the sexy, rugged estate manager. She finds she shares more than a sense of humor with him - in fact, she starts to think she could fall for him. But is Nick all he seems? Or has Laura got it wrong again? Will she open her heart only to have it broken again?

Boring, Predictable, a waste of time and paper,
By
This review is from: A Hopeless Romantic (Paperback)
I picked this book up looking forward to a bit of a Christmas read. It is, without a doubt, the worst Chick Lit novel I have ever read. The characters are poorly developed and unlikable. The story itself is dull. I am shocked that the author is a publishing executive. Well, actually I'm not. The only reason this book was published was because the author knew someone.Seriously, terrible. Don't waste your time.

Unexpected Surprise,

This review is from: A Hopeless Romantic (Paperback)
This book is everything I want when I read this genre. No, its not a literary masterpiece but it is a FUN read...predictable with enough twists to keep you reading and enough character development to make you care. If you enjoy movies like "Pretty Woman", then this book will hit the spot. I couldn't put it down.

It was a good read, but predictable,
By R. Glenn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Hopeless Romantic (Paperback)
I thought that this was a very good book that many 20-30 something singles could relate to. The bad relationships, the day dreaming that the server is your true love... Even though I'm married I still enjoyed reading this entertaining chick lit. At times, it is a bit predictable and somewhat annoying. The length of time things happen, too, is frustrating. Almost a year can be covered in a couple chapters. A month in less than that. Some of the characters weren't fully developed and at times it seems like they did a 180. It was definitely a good read, finished it in a day. There were some typos that I noticed right off the bat, for instance "Lara" instead of Laura, "he" instead of she, etc. You definitely get frustrated at Nick and Laura over SO many things...you just want to beat them over the head sometimes. Overall, a good read, but not something where you feel emotionally attached to the characters or are surprised at what happens next.

Hopelessly Swept Away,
By Becky at "One Literature Nut" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: A Hopeless Romantic (Paperback)
I don't know how to say this other than to say that reading this novel felt like walking through a beautiful, English countryside somewhere. It definitely was one of the better chick lit novels I've read in awhile. While predictable (as repeated a million times here), you don't really care, and it in fact propels you to read even faster. I really loved the vulnerability of the characters and genuinely cared about their lives and feelings. A must read this year, next, or whenever.
