Winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy of the Year 2011.
Best-selling author of Rumour Has It, Jill Mansell returns with Take A Chance On Me – a fun, romantic and hugely readable romp through the love life of Cleo Quinn, hapless in romance and still haunted by her childhood nemesis, Johnny La Venture. Jill Mansell's novels regularly shoot straight into the Sunday Times bestseller list.
A sweet, funny and romantic novel from the Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller Cleo Quinn doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to men, but now Will's come along. Handsome and attentive, he could be her Mr Right. Things are definitely looking up for Cleo...apart from one small problem with a rather large ego. Johnny LaVenture, sculptor extraordinaire and her personal childhood nemesis, is back in Channing's Hill and tormenting her as if he'd never been away. Meanwhile Cleo's sister Abbie has a problem of her own -- husband Tom has become distant and withdrawn, and she's determined to find out why. But will the shocking truth mean the end of their idyllically happy marriage? The sisters are about to discover that the past can come back to haunt you, and that love can flourish in the unlikeliest of places...
