Love is in the air…
After difficult times, Holly is finally adjusting to her new normal. Her daughter Hope is happy, she’s created a beautiful home, and an unexpected offer may mean fantastic opportunities for her sweet shop, Just One More.
But her sense of calm is shattered when best friend Giles drops a bombshell – a proposal to Sienna, a woman Holly barely knows and who isn’t right for Giles at all.
For Giles’s sake, she tries to make peace with Sienna, throwing herself into wedding planning. But as everyone else cheers on the ‘happy’ couple, Holly’s left questioning whether her doubts are about them – or about something in her own heart…
Librarian Bridget Jones, named after the famous fictional heroine, was raised on a remote farm, with only her mother’s romance novels for company.
Now, living alone in the city, Bridget is a hopeless bookaholic and believes that anyone who doesn’t like reading just hasn’t met the right book yet. If only fixing her love life was that simple.
When handsome Italian barista Fabio catches her eye, Bridget prays she won’t ruin things. But when her cranky neighbour Sully insists on making life tricky, she is faced with a new obstacle. Why is he going to so much effort to drive her round the bend?
With the help of a colourful cast of friends, Bridget decides to put both men to the test. But will mixing romance and fiction lead to her happily ever after?
This story follows Bridget, a librarian and hopeless romantic who grew up surrounded by romance novels on a remote cattle station. Her passion for reading and romance shapes her life in Fremantle, where she runs a book club at the library. When Fabio, a charming Italian barista, moves from casual flirting to joining her book club, Bridget worries that her so-called “romance curse” might ruin her chances with him. However, she finds herself unexpectedly attracted to her grumpy neighbor, Sully. Torn between the two, Bridget devises a plan to test both men by selecting books tailored to their personalities, leading to unexpected and heartwarming outcomes.
