Clemmie is a soon-to-be 30 year old that excelled in school, went to university, but having returned to her home town and is not having much success in creating a career or a love life for herself.
With a passion for fireworks, she fantasises about the local pyrotechnics entrepreneur, Guy Devlin, who runs Gun Powder Plot. A stroke of luck means their paths finally cross – but is it a smooth ride to happily ever after or will the ex-wife, handful of step-kids and equally explosive business send sparks flying in the wrong direction?
You’ll have to read to find out of course! Though shorter than some of the chick-lit books read over the few months, this was a sparkler of a story to read (sorry had to get a firework reference in somewhere).
It flows well, lots of subtle humour and the storyline gives just the right amount of suspense of will they, won’t they and the characters are so well written that you’ll love the ones Jones wants you to and loathe the loathsome ones.
A lovely book to curl up in the bath or on the sofa with as the fireworks explode on Bonfire Night.
