A smart, funny novel about love, relationships, and travelling together on a tandem.
Catherine Pringle will do anything to save her relationship with Nick. He’s an adventure travel expert who lives for the next trek into the wilderness. Catherine is happier in London, chasing down the latest lifestyle trends for her newspaper column. Fearing they are drifting apart, she hatches a plan that calls for extreme togetherness – a summer-long tandem holiday in France.
Journeys rarely go according to plan and this one is no exception. The wheels come off as soon as Catherine and Nick arrive in France. It all looks hopeless until maverick Australian Steve Munro comes to the rescue. Steve is likeable, practical, and fun to be with. And soon he’s an indispensable third member of the team.
Catherine and Steve click instantly. But he has a maddening ability to read her innermost thoughts. He’s not afraid to say what she won’t, that making it work with Nick might be too hard. A better option is available if only Catherine is willing to see it.
If you like romantic comedy with quirky characters and witty dialogue, you’ll love this life-affirming journey through the ever-changing French countryside.
