Ein Mann wie ein Keks.

by Jane Gordon

A modern Pygmalion story with a twist, by the bestselling author of STEPFORD HUSBANDS. Hattie George is a woman with a mission. A dedicated socialist, she wants to make the world a better place. Teased by her friends, especially her best friend’s boyfriend, Jon, she bets that she can transform Jimmy, a young Geordie who lives on the streets and sells the Big Issue, into a drop-dead gorgeous, man-about-town – in just a few weeks.With his taste for brown sauce and brown ale, and his very different table manners, Jimmy will never turn the heads of the chattering classes or change Jon’s cynicism. Or will he? As Hattie’s mission is launched, there is more than one transformation taking place, resulting in chaos, hilarity, heartbreak and misunderstanding. Just who is trying to impress who?MY FAIR MAN is a modern fairy tale and a witty portrayal of men, women and contemporary society, in which Jane Gordon explores with humour, sympathy and incisiveness the important issues of gender, class, and different people’s motivations.

awww a good beach or rainy day read.

some genuine laugh out loud moments, with a tender and slowly developing romance with just the right amount of hot stuff.

a bit of a cliche but all in all, one to get from the library or charity shop.

3.5 stars wooop
