Lucy Blue lost herself in her relationship with an
overbearing boyfriend. Although Teddy was just a summer
romance, she postpones breaking up with him until the
Christmas holidays and he doesn't take the news well. Lucy
tries to escape for awhile, but the New Year's party she
crashes in Scotland is a bust and she wants to go home to
London. Her plans change when a snowstorm grounds her plane
and she finds herself sharing her rental car with an
attractive man on the long drive back to the city. Despite
her desperation, Lucy Blue isn't the kind of girl who shags
a stranger at a roadside motel on New Year's Day. Or is she?
Back in the real world, Lucy is soon enough focusing on her
work and fending off Teddy's pathetic attempts to win her
back. Although Lucy and the brooding stranger both agreed
this was a one-time rendezvous, Lucy is jolted out of her
daily grind by large green posters taped all over the tube
station asking, "LUCY BLUE, WHERE ARE YOU?" Convinced that
this is a grand romantic gesture, Lucy dials the phone
number listed on the poster, not knowing that her adventure
is only just beginning.
This post-holiday romance is the perfect cure for the
winter blues. Louise Harwood gives us a believably
conflicted heroine and just enough family secrets to keep
things interesting. Witty banter and British slang keep
this fast read flirty and fun. Finding yourself has never
been so sexy!
Realizing she's got a job that doesn't suit her and a
suitor who doesn't do the job, Lucy makes the bold decision
to spend New Year's Eve in Scotland, away from family and
friends. But on the way back home, she finds herself
snowbound at the airport and forced to share a ride with a
handsome stranger. Normally, she's not the sort of girl to
pick up a stranger, much less sleep with him-but this is a
moment out of time and place and Lucy goes for it.
Back in London, just as Lucy decides to put this little
secret adventure behind her, she encounters something
shocking. Namely, a brightly-colored train-station poster
asking "Lucy Blue, where are you?"
And thus begins a journey that just might make Lucy see her
chance meeting as the chance of a lifetime...
