About the author

After a haphazard career spent working and travelling around the world, I stumbled into romance writing as a way to fund a PhD. My first book, A Sweeter Prejudice, came out in 1991, and since then I've written a further 59 books, some of which have won awards in the US and the UK.
I live in York, a historic city in the north of England, and waste the best part of my days planning trips away or on Facebook and Twitter, both of which mean that I end up writing late into the night. As well as romance, I write 'time slips' as Pamela Hartshorne, and am a freelance project editor and occasional writing tutor.

In May 2013 I will publishing the Jessica Hart Vintage Collection of five of my early books from the 90s.

3.5*

I was swept up into pangs of unrequited love almost as soon as I started reading and really didn't surface until about 70% of the book when it just seemed to lose its way a little and seemed a little repetitious.

Wonderfully written, it easily invoked heart aching emotions, so the resolution at the end was a little too quickly wrapped up given the journey we'd been on with the h. The H's pov certainly helps sell it but still, just airing I love you's doesn't resolve everything neatly.

I liked the heroine and I think with more time she would have been able to flourish in the plot. The author didn't know what to do with the hero though. They wanted him to love his daughter's mother but it left no room for our long-suffering heroine to open his heart. They avoided the 'other woman sucked' cliche but it didn't help the love story, it hindered it. I liked the book's location and the characters' work ethic.

A great story.



The ability of Ellie to love Jack enough to give him up when she thinks he will forever love the ghost of Pippa is amazing. I was so happy when Jack asked Ellie to stay and admitted that he loved her.

I love a good unrequited love story and this book has all its ingredients. Ellie, the heroin, was in love with the hero, Jack, but he, being Ellie’s older siblings friend, never saw her any other than as a kid sister.
Ellie was determined to forget him so she went from home and avoided Jack. But it's no use. One day, she visited his home (she didn't know he was there). There, not only she met him but also his ten-month-old daughter. He needed a mother for his daughter. And she needed a place to call home. So long story short, she offered to marry him and became his wife/nanny/housekeeper. He thought that she was in love with someone else and only offered because her love life was as hopeless as his and the only way she could stay in outback was by marrying him. It’s not meant to be a conventional marriage. It supposed to be a marriage in name only. A purely partnership without romance. The plan seemed sensible, but of course, reality was a different matter.

I picked this book because of the unrequited love theme. I’m sorry to say that the story didn’t keep me interested. It was tiresome reading where the angst was built mostly around the lack of communication between MCs. It felt repetitive at times.

I got a headache while reading this one 🤮
She is so Pathetic with zero self esteem and he is so unlikeable stupid asshole !!

I didn't buy that he love her in the end he just want housekeeper and maid for him and his daughter .

This was a quick and enjoyable read. Great for when you want something lighter than a mystery or thriller.
