How Do You Spell Love? by Zanna Mackenzie

But I got to review an advance copy of Zanna’s novel in exchange for an honest review – so while my ponytail may look stale and limp compared to Faith’s, I’m still smiling from ear to ear.Įnter the world of coffee shop owner (and tea sipping) Faith, hot businessman Zane Ferguson, and his business partner and troublemaker, Matt. Sure wish I could rock a ponytail the way Faith does on the cover of the book. All in all, a great book and a great find as an author, her other two books are on my Kindle already!

There's a gentle pace throughout I'd say (perfect for Saturday afternoon reading) and the romance is developed over time, not rushed into. I loved the characters, all of them (even bad boy Matt) - they were exceptionally well drawn and realistic too - everything that happens in the book you can imagine happening in real life, there's no 'yeah, right, as if.' moments.

I love the fact it's centred round outdoor adventure sports, having indulged in a fair few of them in my time, so immediately my interest was piqued. I'm not going to tell you what it's all about, suffice to say it's good - really good. I was lucky enough to receive a copy prior to publication and I say lucky because I could not put the book down! In fact, I took the children to the hell-on-earth that is Monkey Business on Saturday afternoon just so they'd leave me alone so I could finish it - they couldn't believe their luck either! Call it chick lit if you must (I prefer contemporary romance), this is the story of Faith, Zane, oh, and Matt, or Aaron as he used to be called - a love triangle. With her new boyfriend and her first love running Carrdale as business partners – Matt out to cause trouble and Zane keeping secrets – Faith struggles to keep the peace between them whilst trying to figure out how she feels about the two men in her life… Then Zane and Matt arrive on the scene as the new owners of the Carrdale Adventure Sports Centre.ĭating Zane, she soon discovers he’s not the Mr Perfect she thought he was and why is he so reluctant to talk about his past?Īs for Matt – well, to Faith he isn’t Matt at all because he was a completely different person when he broke her heart all those years ago. She hasn’t had a man in her life for a while, as she has been too busy serving cakes to weary rock climbers and mountain bikers to find time for the complications of a relationship with the male of the species. Would you have the courage to feel the fear and fall in love anyway.?įaith owns The Coffee Pot in the outdoor adventure sports mecca of Derbyshire’s Peak District. Is the past about to destroy the future for Faith when she discovers her new boyfriend and her first love are in business together?
