SO-cover1chocheart fourStarting Over          ~ Bestseller!* ~
by Sue Moorcroft

“This was already in this slot so I didn’t want to mess with that!  I’ve been in love with Miles for a very long time!” Sue Moorcroft.

Buy your copy today as an ebook or paperback, or send as a Girlie Gift with chocolates
.

Miles Arnott-Rattenbury is a smooth player, who seems to lead a charmed life. He has a business he enjoys, he can hang out with the guys and women love him. What more can he want?
When he meets Tess they get off to a bad start, but he still can’t understand why she doesn’t fall for him. Sparks fly as they get to know each other better, but can Tess shake off the past
?

In Sue’s words...
Miles is probably a Lion Bar! Really yummy but pretty spiky, many layers and facets to him. He can also snarl when he needs to...

Sue’s Light Choc Lit Past........

GHTheTollgatechocheart fourThe Toll Gate
by
Georgette Heyer
”I think this has to be a Georgette Heyer novel. But which? So many of them are sooooo good. At length, I chose The Toll Gate because it was the first Georgette Heyer novel I ever read and it made me laugh. The hero, Captain John Staples, is a tall man (one of my favourite things) and ‘he often behaved in a freakish way’. This, and his nickname of Crazy Jack, makes him doubly appealing. Through avoiding noble relatives he ends up tending a Toll Gate whilst criminals circulate cautiously around him and Miss Nell Stonaway catches his eye. It’s not long before these two situations combine to produce a love story of both fun and intrigue.” Sue Moorcroft.

Sue’s Classic Choc Lit........

CBJaneEyrechocheart fourJane Eyre
by
Charlotte Bronte
”One of my early adult reads, a story of the sort of life a penniless orphan would have led in Regency times – exploited and unwanted. Jane, of course, finds herself in the household of Mr. Rochester and things begin to look up. Until she makes the inconvenient discovery of his wife, mad Mrs. Rochester, in the attic. This book used to frighten me to death and I would never go to sleep immediately after reading of Helen in her coffin or Mrs. Rochester ripping Jane’s wedding veil in two. Mr. Rochester isn’t a conventional hero but he’s a powerful man who tries to do the right thing – in his own way. I hate to read the finale, when he has been diminished.” Sue Moorcroft.

Sue’s Vintage Classic or as we call it, Light Choc Lit Past........

chocheart fourNSATownLikeAliceA Town Like Alice
by
Neville Shute
”This book began my lifelong love affair with the work of Nevil Shute. His stories are always of big events with far-reaching consequences and have a wonderful love affair central to the story. A Town Like Alice is a book of two halves: when Jean Paget is a prisoner of war and meets a man who is crucified for his part in stealing chickens to feed her and other women and children; then her life from the moment that she discovers that Joe Harman, though crucified, is alive. I must have read this book twenty times. It’s a ‘desert island’ book.” Sue Moorcroft.

Sue’s Dark Choc Lit Present...

chocheart fourLHCryNoMoreCry No More
by
Linda Howard
“This is a compulsive read. Milla Edge’s happy life is destroyed when her baby is torn from her eyes and spirited away. She dedicates the next ten years of her life to trying to trace her lost son and other children like him – stolen to order. Eventually, she joins forced with James Diaz and a hot love affair flares through this life or death story. I received this book as a freebie at a conference and have since bought ten Linda Howard books.” Sue Moorcroft.

ImportanceOfBeingEmmaRDPNG04chocheart four15The Importance of Being Emma
by Juliet Archer
‘Jane Austen in the 21st Century’.

Buy your copy today as an ebook or paperback, or send as a Girlie Gift with chocolates.

Mark Knightley is rich, smooth and seductive. He may have stopped being flavour of the month with Emma Woodhouse, but we wouldn't be able to resist him!

 
Find out if Emma does in this sparkling modern take on the Jane Austen classic.

It’s an ingenious and often effective, very affectionate tribute to a great predecessor with some witty contemporary versions of characters that I think Jane Austen herself would have loved...... “
Joanna Trollope, June 2009
