Today I'm joined by Choc Lit author Angela Britnell to talk about her latest novel Sugar and Spice which I'll be reviewing shortly as I received a copy of the book in a goodie bag from a recent book launch I attended for two other Choc Lit authors.
Luscious Lily, the sparkly, over-the-top celebrity chef who stars in ‘Sugar and Spice’ is Lily Redman’s alter-ego. She loves cooking, eating and sharing her passion for food with everyone she cares about. Now she’s faced with the worst possible scenario. Against her better judgment she’s fallen in love with a man totally disinterested in food and hasn’t a clue what to do about it, or him.
Kenan Rowse’s culinary palate has been trained by his mother’s plain English cooking, British army rations and the fast-food he lived on as a financial trader. He doesn’t understand the current craze for gourmet foods and the idea of a 24 hour TV channel devoted to cooking ranks alongside the horrors of shopping in his view.
This afternoon as part of the Choc Lit feature week I've decided to take a look ahead to some of the fab books they are publishing in the next 3 months. And with a wide selection of genres covering historical, regency, paranormal and contemporary, there's surely something for everyone.
The Maid of Milan by Beverley Eikli (published 7th March)
How much would you pay for a clear conscience?
Adelaide Leeson wants to prove herself worthy of her husband, a man of noble aspirations who married her when she was at her lowest ebb.
Lord Tristan Leeson is a model of diplomacy and self-control, even curbing the fiery impulses of his youth to maintain the calm relations deemed essential by his mother-in-law to preserve his wife’s health.
A visit from his boyhood friend, feted poet Lord James Dewhurst, author of the sensational Maid of Milan, persuades Tristan that leaving the countryside behind for the London Season will be in everyone’s interests.
But as Tristan’s political career rises and Adelaide revels in society’s adulation, the secrets of the past are uncovered. And there’s a high price to pay for a life of deception.
