Taking life one day at a time, Kate Hetherington is
patiently waiting for her knight in shining armor to
magically appear and sweep her off her feet so that she
can finally live the life she has always dreamed of
having. Chocolates and roses are the two mainstays in
Kate's world where true love most certainly exists and
couples really do live happily ever-after. It doesn't
help though that her best friends, Tom and Sal, believe
that she is tinkering a little too close to the edge as
she plots and schemes to reach her goal before her
biological clock abruptly comes to a halt.
Working on the set of Future: Perfect, a make-over show
on cable that is barely making a dent in the ratings, Kate
spends her days designing rooms for the ordinary folks of
London. While she tries her hardest to inspire them with
her whimsical designs and artsy creations, she secretly is
calculating her next move on her mission to find herself a
man. As luck would have it, she just happens to stumble
upon The Hopeless Romantic's Handbook for sale on E-bay.
With her interest piqued, Kate throws caution to the wind
and buys it. Within days, she is hooked on the antiquated
manual and pledges to follow the sage old advice to see if
she can finally make her dream come true.
As if she were sprinkled with fairy dust from
Tinker Bell herself, Kate's luck quickly changes as she
winds up in the arms of a dashing American actor named Joe
who sets her world on fire. From his handsome good looks
to his sensitive, caring side, Joe turns out to be
everything Kate has always wanted in a man and more.
Could Kate's dream finally be coming true or is this
hottie just too good to be true?
THE HOPELESS ROMANTIC'S HANDBOOK is a hilarious
story about the adventures of a savvy thirty-something
woman's idealistic view of love. From the delightful
characters to the tantalizing inside peek of the drama
found in the world of television and celebrity
gossipmongers, Gemma Townley's fourth novel is an absolute
treat!
In Townley's latest hilarious and heartfelt novel, Kate
thinks she has found the answer to her troubles: a handbook
for hopeless romantics like her. But when her budding
romance isn't quiet what she had hoped, Kate is left
wondering if true love is a myth.
