About this listen

This Christmas, love is top of Florence Fairfax’s wish list

'Like eating a box of chocolates where every one is a violet cream' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'My only complaint is I can't put Sophia Money-Coutts' books down!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Hugely enjoyable novel from a mistress of the genre' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘You want me to write a list? Like a shopping list?'

'Exactly. But for what you want from a man’

Florence Fairfax might have been single for quite a while – well, forever, actually – but she isn’t lonely. She loves her job at the little bookshop in Chelsea and her beloved cat Marmalade who keeps her company at night. She’s perfectly happy, thank you.

So when Florence meets an eccentric love coach who asks her to write a wish list describing her perfect man, she refuses to take it seriously. Until later that week, Rory, a handsome blond man with the sexual athleticism of James Bond she asked for just happens to walk into the bookshop…

Rory seems to tick all of the boxes on Florence’s list. But is she about to discover there’s more to love than being perfect on paper?

Loved the story, the narration was annoying. Still will continue to read her books although they sound like a reading to a classroom..
Please, Sophia, hand over your stories to an actor who can change up the characters' voices to sound different to each other. It was so annoying to have them all sound so similar and your efforts were appreciated, but not 5 stars worth I'm afraid. The story was 6 stars.

I'd give it 5 stars if narrated by an actor.

Loved it!

It made me laugh and it made me cry. Having the author narrate her own book was excellent, as she put inflection and emphasis in all the right places for the story to truly drag me in. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Witty and heartfelt.

Not sure to begin with but progressed to funny and interesting. Kind of weak soft ending but wasn’t a believable story anyway,

Good light hearted listen
