About this listen

A delightful new series set in a quaint old bookshop, for fans of Julia Quinn and Jenny Colgan.

Where happy ever after is only a page away

Once upon a time in a crumbling London bookshop, Posy Morland spent her life lost in the pages of her favourite romantic novels.

So when Bookend’s eccentric owner, Lavinia, dies and leaves the shop to Posy, she must put down her books and join the real world. Because Posy hasn’t just inherited an ailing business, but also the unwelcome attentions of Lavinia’s grandson, Sebastian, AKA The Rudest Man In London™.

Posy has a cunning plan and six months to transform Bookends into the bookshop of her dreams – if only Sebastian would leave her alone to get on with it. As Posy and her friends fight to save their beloved bookshop, Posy’s drawn into a battle of wills with Sebastian, about whom she’s started to have some rather feverish fantasies…

Like her favourite romantic heroines, will she get her happy ever after too?

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I read it several months ago and came across it as audio book and decided to listen to it. Oh my God! What joy!!
The story itself is so sweet and romantic. But Laura Kidman, the narrator, puts a whole different spin on it. She is amazing and had me laughing out loud several times.
