Take a Chance on Me by Jill Mansell

5.0

When Cleo finds out her partner Will is married it ends up being another relationship disaster and she finds herself without a man by her side, again. Then there is Johnny La Venture who she has known since early school days, oh and who played a prank on her at school by pretending he was interested in her for a bet. Leaving poor Cleo laughing stock at school until something more interesting happened. Naturally Cleo is very wary of super slick, very handsome Johnny.
This is a small town romance filled with wonderful characters and friends, it's cosy, warm, light-hearted and downright funny. Everything you would expect from a Jill Mansell Book. With of course that shining HEA that we all love and crave and naturally expect from one of Jill's books.
When Johnny comes back home to the small town, Cleo tries everything in her power to stay away from him and he from her, well sort of. He can't resist a bit of a challenge. To say he is her long lost friend upon his return, is definitely an understatement.
Will Cleo change her mind about Johnny? Does he have feelings for her? Will Ash get the girl he wants, when Cleo's philandering ex realsies his wife Fia has left him?
It's all going on....
A brilliant book to relax with at any time of day. Enjoy
