      Mozaika príbehov, ktoré spojí šťastie, tragédia a zázrak Hallie žije dva životy. Jeden takmer stále na vozíčku a s kyslíkovou nádržou. Druhý na internete, kde radí ľuďom pri vzťahových problémoch. Popritom sníva veľké sny – že získa muža, ktorého miluje, že transplantácia pľúc jej raz umožní žiť len jeden život, ale zato naplno. Tasha má zabehnuté chodníčky a každý sa jej musí prispôsobiť. Keď však na Štedrý večer stratí kreditnú kartu a musí si ju vlastnými pestovanými rukami vyhrabať zo smetného koša, osud jej prihrá záchrancu – fešáka Roryho, milovníka adrenalínových športov, ktorý sa nebude prispôsobovať nikomu. Ani svojej čerstvo nájdenej láske. Flo dostala ako dedičstvo po výstrednej starej dáme kocúra a byt, ktorý kocúrovi patrí. Kým je kocúr nažive, smie v ňom bývať aj ona... a celý čas sa bojí, aby úbohé zviera neotrávili rozhorčení príbuzní. Tým sa totiž zdá, že Flo je príživníčka. Potom sa z jedného rozhorčeného príbuzného vykľuje očarujúci sexi muž...

      Nový román autorky bestsellerů Jill Manselové je plný pohody. Fanoušci Katie Ffordové a Lucy Diamond, nenechte si jej ujít! Kdyby Essie ten dopis, nikdy nenapsala, žila by stále v řádném, trochu nudném vztahu s Paulem v jeho takřka dokonalém venkovském domku. Možná by už dokonce plánovali svatbu… Na druhou stranu, kdyby se z dopisu popisujícího její skutečné pocity nestala omylem internetová senzace, nepřestěhovala by se do mezonetového bytu v centru města. Nikdy by nepotkala Conora. Nebo nepoznala Lucase. A už vůbec by se nezamilovala do někoho, do koho je mnohem lepší se nezamilovávat.

      Jill Mansell's Sunday Times bestseller HEAD OVER HEELS is not to be missed by readers of Veronica Henry and Marian Keyes. Jill's novels are loved by reviewers: 'Achingly romantic' Heat Jessie has kept the identity of her son Oliver's father a secret for years. She's stunned when she discovers that the man in question, actor Toby Gillespie, has just moved in next door. The truth's about to come out. One glance at Oliver, and a little mental arithmetic, and Toby has the situation sussed. Meeting the son he never knew he had is the shock of a lifetime. It's a shock, too, for Toby's wife, the beautiful Deborah, though she seems to take it in her stride. Would Deborah be so relaxed if she knew just how close Toby wants to get to the mother of his firstborn? As the attraction between them flares up again, Jessie just can't see her way to a happy ending. But no one is quite what they seem, and there are more surprises to come...

This is my favourite Jill Mansell novel to date' Amazon reviewer, 5 stars
