Publisher's Summary

The one you really want could be closer than you think....

The One You Really Want is a sweet, funny, romantic novel from best-selling author Jill Mansell. Not to be missed by listeners of Marian Keyes and Cathy Kelly.

It all starts with a shiny, red sit-on lawn mower.

When Nancy spies her Christmas present from her husband sitting on the lawn, she realises the jewellery she thought was for her must be on someone else. Her best friend, Carmen, isn't surprised (she never liked Jonathan) and persuades Nancy to leave Edinburgh and come and stay in her luxury London flat - far too vast for Carmen since her husband, millionaire rock star Spike Todd, died.

Soon Nancy's met gorgeous Connor O'Shea, who lives next door, and his daughter, Mia, is matchmaking - not least because she'd like to see the back of Connor's current pushy girlfriend. Meanwhile Carmen, who's always been certain she doesn't want another man in her life, feels a spark when a handsome charity worker called Joe calls round. But Joe's not quite all he seems....

Disappointing

I usually escape when listening to Jill Mansell books but this one is not worth a credit. Predictable and drawn out, and the narrator’s character voices were a struggle to bear, Sorry but this one is a miss

Lots of lovely happily ever afters

Nancy moved to her friend Carmen’ s house to escape her cheating husband.
It was something that was going to happen, but a lawn mower as a Christmas present sealed the deal.
The girlfriend got the diamond....
I loved the brashness and humour of Rene.
I loved the sassiness of Mia.
Carmen trying to be normal was quite tragic.
The men she found went from one extreme to the other.
Nancy’s mother was sweet and caring. She can come and live with me anytime.
A live- in, cook and bottle-washer - what a treasure!
