The Woman in Grey.


So I couldn’t resist it, I got my two taster chapters and dove straight in!

What did I expect? Honestly I don’t know, what I feel I got was a 21st century Barbara Cartland!!!

Uber handsome, well-toned young millionaire, incredibly confident and sophisticated with the world at his feet, to say nothing of several leggy blondes who work in his office and do his bidding.

Along comes Little Miss Awkward, who is sent on a 150 mile trip to interview said Prince Conglomerate by her flatmate who is conveniently too ill to do the interview she set up, Miss Trips Over Her Words and Her Feet, was of course not at all interested in The Prince.

However, when she sees him Cinders interest is aroused and naturally when inadvertently they touch, she feels sensations she has never felt before in places that she didn’t know she had!!!!

He is at first distant and disdainful of the questions she is asking until she confesses they are not her questions and she was railroaded into covering the interview. In a surprising twist he does the unheard of and cancels his next appointment, offering to show her around the company.

Flustered, flummoxed and metaphorically a shoe short of a pair she flees the ball, I mean building.

Once home she thinks of him but tries to move past the encounter, concentrating on her studies and her job at the hardware store.

When out of the blue he turns up at the shop, because of course he was in the neighbourhood and desperately needed some ties and masking tape…..

So that was the end of the taster, what do I do,

·         do I buy it and see if it gets better

·         do I read it to prove it is Mills and Boon so that I can deride it further

·         have I got time to spare when I could be reading my own kind of drivel


I really don’t know, however what seriously worries me is how much of the detail I have remembered as I write this!!!!
