Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The latest from Townley (Learning Curves, etc.) features Kate Hetherington, interior stylist at London low-end makeover TV show Future: Perfect. Kate has come up empty in her search for true love; longtime friends Sal and Tom think she's unrealistic, but their own solutions aren't terrific: Sal has settled for a sensible marriage to Ed, a financier, while Tom, a surgeon, plays the field and avoids commitment at all costs. Desperate after an embarrassing speed dating incident, Kate buys The Hopeless Romantic's Handbook on eBay. Though the book, excerpted amusingly throughout, turns out to be chauvinistic and out of date, Kate soon she meets Joe Rogers, an American actor bartending while he attempts to jumpstart his career in London. Kate follows the book to the letter-putting off sex, showering Joe with attention, flattering his ego-and it works. Kate's bliss affects everyone around her, with unexpected consequences, in this optimistic and satisfying read.

Product Description

Knight wanted. Must have shiny armor and own horse, preferably white.

When it comes to romance, are magic, fireworks, and a dashing knight in shining Armani really too much to ask? Apparently so, since Kate Hetherington has yet to find an appropriate mate in all of London. Her lifelong friends (and confirmed pragmatists) Sally and Tom tease her endlessly about her hopeless romanticism. But Kate knows that she’s right to want her own fairy tale.

After stumbling upon an old tome titled The Hopeless Romantic’s Handbook, Kate decides to give its advice a whirl. Incredibly, the book lives up to its money-back guarantee, because before Kate can say “Cinderella” she meets Joe Rogers, a drop-dead-gorgeous American actor. Frankly, he’s perfect–and Kate thinks she might have finally found The One. He certainly has the muscles required to sweep her off her feet. But Sal and Tom are less thrilled with Kate’s dreamboat. Are they just jealous, or do they know something about love that isn’t in Kate’s handbook? Kate’s pretty sure that finding true love isn’t supposed to alienate you from your friends, but what she doesn’t know is that her real knight is still waiting for her–and he’s closer than she ever imagined.

3.0 out of 5 stars 21st century hopeless romantic, Sep 13 2007
By Arolin V "book~raven" (Montreal, QC Canada) - See all my reviews
I personally think this book was enjoyable. It was a tad bit predictable but it kinda did give me hope that there is someone out there for me. Some parts were boring and unnecessary but overall an OK good.

1.0 out of 5 stars good...for pre-teens, Mar 29 2007
By Melissa R. Lamoureux "lamoureu" (canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this book was an absolute waste of my time. the writer is repetative in her descriptions, and leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination, which personally made me think the writer was aiming this book at a person who was rather dull and incapable of thinking for themselves. didn't really like the style of writing either ie. third person. story was cute...but but very predictable.
