Sarah had some seriously difficult situations to deal with - first, she finds out that her husband has a gambling addiction and they're about to lose their house. Then, he is killed in a most bizarre accident and she's left to sort all the debt on her own. Next, her aunt dies and leaves her a slowly dying lingerie business to take over. Then add romance issues on top of that!
Definitely a good read, Sarah handled everything exactly as I hope that I would if I were in that situation. And being a former fashion designer wannabe, I love that she did that before having kids. Between that and the bra competition, those old wants to do that myself have been woken up. Maybe I'll get my sewing machine out and try to make something soon.
And Hugh? Hugh is one of those fictional guys that you wish were real. With that said, there are a lot of the really great things about Hugh that remind me of my boyfriend, so it's true, those guys really are out there. They're just hard to come by.
But the book, yes, put it on your to read list - somewhere near the top. Especially if you're looking for a feel good story that will provide some laughs too.
One of my favorite characters is Sarah's Aunt Shirley, even though she had a small role in the book, I adored her wit and personality. :)
From the GoodReads website, "Sue Margolis’s “sexy British romp[s]” (USA Today) have captivated readers who enjoy an “irreverent, sharp-witted look at love and dating” (Houston Chronicle). Now she returns with a novel about a suddenly single mom whose life needs a lift.
When her gambling addict husband died, Sarah Green was left penniless—and with two children to raise. Since then, she’s been desperate to keep her professional and personal lives on firm financial footing. And what could be safer than dating an accountant and working at a non-emergency crime help line?
But then Sarah’s aunt dies, leaving Sarah her once famous—now flailing—lingerie shop. With her fashion background, Sarah reluctantly decides to make a go of it, even if that means breaking up with her too-prudent boyfriend over the risk.
Suddenly Sarah finds herself falling for Hugh, the handsome struggling actor she hired to renovate her new boutique, and entering a prestigious lingerie competition. Taking chances has never been her forte, but the built-in support of family and friends could give her the boost she’s been looking for...."
