Читать книгу New York, Actually: A sparkling romantic comedy from the bestselling Queen of Romance - Sarah Morgan - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

As a child I was a voracious reader and one of my favourite books was Dodie Smith’s The Hundred and One Dalmatians. As well as the warmth and originality of the storyline, I loved the fact that each dog had a distinct personality.

I’ve often included dogs in my books (the first was Maple, from Sleigh Bells in the Snow), but the dogs have always played a small background role until one day last winter when I came across a photo of a Dalmatian with a heart shaped nose. I knew I had to give him a central role in a book, and I knew he had to be called Valentine.

Some people find dogs easier to love than humans, and that is the case for Molly the heroine of this story. When it comes to giving advice on other people’s relationships she’s an expert, but she’s not so good when it comes to her own. She can’t imagine loving anyone more than she loves her dog Valentine, but then she meets sexy lawyer Daniel. Daniel knows more about depositions than dogs, but he’ll do whatever it takes to get Molly’s attention, even if that means borrowing a dog.

At first Molly and Daniel appear to have everything in common, but as the truth gradually reveals itself both are forced to re-examine everything they believe about themselves.

This is a story about letting go of the past, but it’s also a story of friendship and love (both human and canine!), family and community, and it takes place against the glamorous backdrop of New York City. From the leafy paths of Central Park to the glittering skyscrapers, there’s something for everyone in New York and, as Molly discovers, sometimes the city that never sleeps can be the perfect place to find love.

I hope you enjoy the book, and thank you for reading!

Love Sarah
