Review Card & Book Review – The Love Department By Ally Bunbury

The countdown to Christmas is on at Shillington’s luxury department store in Dublin city …

Immy Brooks has just been put in charge of personal shopping and seems to have a gift for knowing exactly what people want. The one person whose mind she can’t read is her best friend (and soon-to-be boss), Lando Shillington. The night before he leaves for Paris, the two share a drunken night of passion – but Immy hasn’t seen or heard from him since …

Lando can’t get Immy out of his head but he is under pressure to save the family business and he’s in Paris to learn the ropes from the retail magnate, Charles de Croix. Radical changes are needed if Shillington’s is to return to its former glory. But Lando hadn’t banked on getting on quite so well with Charles’ daughter, the glamorous and eminently dateable Celine.

Christmas is in the air when Lando returns to Dublin with Celine and de Croix, both determined to give Shillington’s a Parisian makeover, but does their arrival spell the end for Immy and Lando, before they even get started?

About The Author

My Review

Immy Brooks and Lando Shillington, childhood friends turned passionate lovers, face an uncomfortable shift in their relationship on the eve of Lando’s business trip to Paris. Lando, reluctant heir to his family’s Dublin department store, seeks guidance from Charles de Croix, owner of the opulent Le Marché Cher in Paris. Lando’s interactions with Immy become strained as he grapples with newfound responsibilities and a potential romance with de Croix’s daughter, Celine. When de Croix decides to help revitalize Shillington’s, the Dublin store, Lando, Delia (his mother), and Immy navigate a world of wealth, love, and business transformation. The Love Department unfolds with extravagance and ostentation, providing a festive escape into a realm of opulence, while addressing universal themes of love, friendship, grief, and the pursuit of happiness.
