Product Description

It all starts with a shiny, red, sit-on lawnmower. When Nancy spies her Christmas present from her husband sitting on the lawn, she realises the jewellery she thought was for her must be sitting on someone else. Her best friend Carmen isn't surprised (she never liked Jonathan) and persuades Nancy to leave Edinburgh and come and stay in her luxury London flat - far too vast for Carmen since her husband, millionaire rock star Spike Todd, died. Soon Nancy's met gorgeous Connor O'Shea, who lives next door, and his daughter Mia is matchmaking - not least because she'd like to see the back of Connor's current pushy girlfriend. Meanwhile Carmen, who's always been certain she doesn't want another man in her life, feels a spark when a handsome charity worker called Joe calls round. But Joe's not quite all he seems...

A Fantastic Read
Another fantastic read from Jill Mansell, her 16th book - The One You Really Want - is a real treat to read from start to finish. If you love one of her books, you will love them all. With fantastic, charming characters that you grow to love, and true to life situations, you won't be able to put the book down.
Main character Nancy is surprised and confused when she discovers her Christmas present - a sit on lawn mower - from her husband, especially as she found the receipt for some expensive jewellery in the post! The book is full of surprises and fun as you read about her struggles to get life back to normal. With two smaller stories running alongside Nancy's you can't fail to enjoy it! It is a fabulous girly, light read. So if you like a romantic but humorous read that will keep you wanting more, this is definitely the one for you!!!

A wonderful surprise
I ummmmmed and aaaaahed over buying this book for ages, lost count of the number of times I picked it up and put it down, eventually decided to buy it and then stuck it on the book shelf where it has been overlooked numerous times for something else. As I'm going on holiday this weekend and need a book to take a long I thought I would read a few pages of it to see if I liked it, well I cant put it down. I love it! I love all the characters already. Haven't even finished the book yet and I'm writing this review. I was under the impression that this book was aimed at readers older than me, not sure where I got that from, but I was wrong. I love the writing style; it's so light and enjoyable. I am going out tonight to purchase another Jill Mansell book to take on holiday, as think I will have finished this one by then!!
