Take a Chance on Me
Take a Chance on Me | Jill Mansell
8 posts | 14 read | 9 to read
Even in a small town the drama is larger than life... Cleo Quinn doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to men, but now Will's come along. Handsome and attentive, he could be her Mr Right. Things are definitely looking up for Cleo... apart from one small problem with a rather large ego. Johnny LaVenture, sculptor extraordinaire and her personal childhood nemesis, is back in Channing's Hill and tormenting her as if he'd never been away. Meanwhile Cleo's sister Abbie has a problem of her own-husband Tom has become distant and withdrawn, and she's determined to find out why. But will the shocking truth mean the end of their idyllically happy marriage? The sisters are about to discover that the past can come back to haunt you, and that love can flourish in the unlikeliest of places... Praise for Jill Mansell: "Pick this up at your peril: you won't get a thing done till it's finished." -Heat Magazine "Witty and charming, this easygoing tale is full of twists that make it hard to put down." -Woman Magazine "Mansell knows her craft and delivers a finely tuned romantic comedy." -Kirkus "A fast pace and fun writing make the story fly by." -Publishers Weekly

I can't believe it's our final #LMPBC book already!!! Really enjoyed this little romp. I had tried one of Mansell's books a while back and didn't end up finishing it, but this one was pretty fun, so I may have to give her another go!!

#WeeklyForecast involves finishing my current batch of 87th Precinct books, reading the tagged book for #LMPBC, two random library books, and The Ruin of the Kings, which came in a book box over a year ago. It's the first in a trilogy so if I like it I will have to hunt down the next two books. But it could just as easily be a bail!!

Cinfhen Are any your #bookspin 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen - ha! Funny enough they aren't! But I am planning to get to my #BookSpin books next week, I think. 4y
hes7 Enjoy the Mansell (and the Hunter—I love her books)! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @hes7 - I'm excited about the Mansell book - looks like just the kind of relaxing fluff I need! I've read several of Hunter's books before, with mixed results. I think I keep coming back because The Convenient Groom was the first of her books that I read and I loved it so much. 4y

I really enjoyed this laugh-out-loud, topsy-turvy romance (actually there were three!), my first (but hopefully not my last!) Mansell book. I felt engaged with the lively cast of characters, their struggles and their triumphs. While some parts were a bit too over-the-top unbelievable, it‘s romantic fiction. 😊 4/5⭐️

Glad you picked this #LMPBC book @hes7 ! 😊👍 @TheAromaofBooks I know it‘s early in the month, want me to hold off sending it?

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo, glad a happy one is coming my way next!! Feel free to send it whenever you like, Robin. I probably won't read it until February, but it doesn't hurt anything sitting on my shelf until then!! 4y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks 👍😊 I‘ll let you know when I get it off to you. 4y

I enjoyed @hes7 pick! I don‘t want to give anyway anything. One of my only complaints was that I wish the ending was a little bit longer. I wanted to know more. @robinb I am going to send it out after the holiday rush. #LMPBC

TheAromaofBooks I felt the same way about Mariana! Wonderful story, but just a little too rushed at the end. 4y
Megabooks I have that same glass and love it!!! 4y
Lovesbooks87 @Megabooks it was one of my many Black Friday buys! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4y

Messy relationships and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I‘m glad I finally got around to reading this Mansell book.

@Lovesbooks87 it‘ll be on the way to you tomorrow.
