Behind the music…

Being best friends with a mega-star has its perks and Nicole Wilde, a music journalist, laps them up. But when said friend, Dylan King, gorgeous lead singer of The Burnouts, has zero sense of self-preservation once a drop of alcohol hits his bloodstream and an inability to keep ‘little Dylan’ in his pants, it also comes with responsibilities.

Now, Nicole has to track down Dylan in time to play a charity gig tomorrow. Half a dozen groupies, a haunted hotel, a tattoo parlour, a reality show runner-up and a crazy bed-hopping, a sleepless night later – will she find him before the tour bus leaves town? And when she does, is it time to head home? Or to jump on the tour bus and go along for the ride?

One Way or Another is the heartwarming fun story and fabulous prequel to Portia MacIntosh’s If We Ever Meet Again.

Nicole Wilde’s life is one of sell-out gigs, bunking on tour buses, trashing hotels and partying with the band all night long. But she’s not in the band. She is a music journalist, paid to be the world’s greatest groupie– and she loves it!

Nicole has the party lifestyle – and the hangovers to prove it – but no one stops her in the supermarket on a bad hair day. Until she is papped in an incriminating position with recently married mega-star Dylan King of The Burnouts and the tabloids start hounding her. This isn’t so fun. Especially when her make-up is a mess and she hasn’t yet had a chance to clean her teeth.

Dylan accuses her of ruining his marriage. His handsome PR agent, Charles, calls her a tart. She has to take gorgeous Luke from Two For the Road to hospital after a drug incident. And she’s dropped her mobile phone in the bath! Too much celebrity lifestyle for one week? Time to slow down and take stock? Maybe for somebody else. But Nicole Wilde is going to come out fighting!

Thirty-one-year-old matchmaker Lola James had it all – until she broke her leg at a wedding and discovered that her so-called ‘best friend’ was suddenly too busy to call, her flat had far too many steps, and her boyfriend replaced her quicker than you can say ‘crutches’.

And so she’s back at her parents’ B&B, sleeping in the living room (she can’t get upstairs) and having her hair washed by her mum (she can’t get in the shower).

Freshly single and with a lot of time on her hands, Lola is only too pleased to run into gorgeous Dr Will, an old friend who has definitely improved with age… And then there’s Dean, a divorcé who’s convinced he’s better off alone – no matter how lonely he is.

Can Will help mend Lola’s broken heart as well as her leg? Can she help Dean find love? As a wise man once said, sometimes the one for you is right under your nose, all along…

The Plus One Pact by Portia MacIntosh

What if your plus one could be the one…?

Cara has officially run out of men. Her most recent dates have gone from bad to worse, and when her dating app informs her there is no one left in her area to choose from, she is at a dead end. But with a summer of events ahead of her, she needs to find a solution, fast; someone to keep her company at the never-ending weddings, family gatherings and gender reveal parties that she can’t face going to alone.

So when she meets handsome, confident, Millsy on a night out she may be in luck. They could not be more different in personality, but he too has a summer of events ahead and is desperate to get his family off his back about finding a ‘nice girl’.

What if they made a plus one pact to help each other out and be a plus one for the summer? Just as friends, of course…?

Review

Just when Cara thinks that she’ll survive her cousin’s upcoming wedding, her parents drop the bombshell that her ex will be attending. Convinced that this is payback for refusing to be a bridesmaid, she is wondering how she will her through the wedding.

Taking to her dating apps she arranges a date with the last match on her profile, except he doesn’t show up. Millsy notices her from across the bar and introduces himself. Much to Carla’s horror, just want she needs pity to chat up. However, he is just looking for friendship and a good time. Agreeing to meet him at a club later they embark on a fun-filled friendship.

Discovering that Cara needs a plus one and Millsy isn’t allowed a plus one (he doesn’t date the most classy women). They opt to help each other out. This doesn’t go to plan when he flirts with a bride, they lose his Nan’s dog and she falls asleep with his stepbrother.

Stuck On You by Portia MacIntosh

Could a Post-it note really lead to love…?

Sadie doesn’t have time for finding love. She’s too busy as PA for famous artist Damian Banks. When she’s not arranging exhibitions, she’s organising his dry cleaning or dumping his never-ending stream of girlfriends.

But when she strikes up an unusual friendship with her desk share buddy, she finds a confidante and a new potential love interest. The problem is, they’ve never actually met…

With Christmas just around the corner, can Sadie put herself first for a change and find what she’s been looking for all along?

Review

When Sadie took the position of personal assistant to Damien Banks (a top portrait photographer) she didn’t think that it meant being his ‘personal’ assistant. Managing his day-to-day life from dumping girlfriends, getting his dry cleaning and waiting for deliveries. She’d hoped it was going to be so much more. Working for Damien can be demanding, to say the least, the phone calls and ridiculous demands – that leave her looking for prostitutes to a potential serial killer.

On her first day, she found a post-it note on her desk from Adam (her job share) telling her that the boss was a nightmare. From that first post-it note, they conversed back and forth. Sharing jokes and updates, slowly she found herself looking forward to the notes and dreaming of running off into the sunset with Adam. However, after telling Adam that she has a new job and that she’d like to meet, he ghosts her. Good job that Damien has practically invited himself for Christmas at her parent’s house to keep her mind occupied.

A laugh-out-loud rom-com with a feel of The Flatshare and Johnny Be Good, plus the added bonus of a big dollop of Christmas festivities too.

Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster for Ella. Growing up as the ‘less successful’ identical twin to her ‘perfectly successful’ sister, Emma, has left her feeling isolated, inadequate and let’s face it… a little bitter.

When Emma unexpectedly reaches out to Ella in a time of need, Ella suddenly finds herself with the opportunity to fill in for her sister and experience how the other half live.

But as Ella navigates the world of gossiping mothers, rebellious teens and trying to play the model housewife (not to mention avoiding the temptation of attractive men at the school gates…) will she discover that all is not always as it seems on the other side?

Of course, she would have preferred her little sister to be engaged to someone she’s known longer than a week – and the fact that his name is Charles doesn’t bode well – but who is she to judge?! After all, her own love life is non-existent, and who doesn’t love a destination wedding…?

Things go from bad to worse when she accidentally invites her sister’s ex Alex to the wedding instead of her best friend Lex (aka Alex).

Having worked for the same magazine for almost 10 years she is hoping that the pending promotion she is in line for will enable her to move into a small Soho flat on her own. making the journey to work she is distracted by a fake meet-cute moment in the coffee shop, misses her bus and then gets stuck in the lift at her office block.

Her day continues to go wrong when her editor has been fired and replaced by Addison who has a reputation for turning around publications but taking out her deadwood along the way. Kissing goodbye to her promotion, Frankie needs to pitch new ideas for her love and dating section and suggests the cute meet method. Setting up ways to meet men in ordinary situations, a missing dog, falling in the street, a broken down car etc.

Whilst this isn’t going the way she hoped, she has struck up a friendship with Max from the lift incident. Inviting her on a last-minute Hawaii holiday sounds too good to be true, which it is but opting to help him whilst she finds opportunities for her articles leads to a very different outcome with so many lies told, who can believe the truth when it is in front of them?

Ten years ago when she was living the rock star lifestyle as a music journalist – touring the country, going to gigs and hanging out with celebrities – she never thought she would end up living an uneventful life in suburbia, in a relationship that is well past its sell-by date.

Nicole knows that her days of wild parties and tour buses are over, but yet there is something that keeps drawing her back to her old life. So when rock star Dylan King turns up on her doorstep needing her help to restore his public image, she can’t resist one last trip down memory lane.

But Nicole and Dylan’s history is complicated. And when her old life and new life collide, she will soon realise that you can’t run away from your past forever, and sometimes you just have to follow your heart…
