Dee Nichols was in a serious car accident ten years previously, and with it, her life changed irrevocably. Now her future is two weeks in advance…she can’t look any further than that, as anything could happen afterwards. She is very fragile, paranoid and OCD but managing with her life the way it is. She is a yoga teacher, and loves it. She connects with her students, and has some very dear friends she has met through yoga. She is broke, but she still has her friends…

But in the ten years since he Dee Nichols was in a serious car accident ten years previously, and with it, her life changed irrevocably. Now her future is two weeks in advance…she can’t look any further than that, as anything could happen afterwards. She is very fragile, paranoid and OCD but managing with her life the way it is. She is a yoga teacher, and loves it. She connects with her students, and has some very dear friends she has met through yoga. She is broke, but she still has her friends…

But in the ten years since her life crashed down around her, and after many long months recuperating in hospital after the accident, she left her secure but shattered world and travelled around Europe for five years. Her mother was devastated that Dee had chosen that way of life, and didn’t seem to understand her motives. So when Dee returned and settled into a basically hippie lifestyle, she was crushed…she couldn’t understand Dee and was disappointed in her ‘failure at life’. She needed to get a ‘real’ job…yoga wouldn’t pay the bills, according to her mother.

So on the night Dee went to Lucy Roxburgh’s Christmas party, dressed in her sister Amanda’s beautiful dress and stilettos, and feeling very uncomfortable and alienated, she didn’t expect her life to change once again. For on that night, she met Ethan Roxburgh, Lucy’s brother, and the head of Roxburgh Holdings and a much photographed good looking male, seldom without a beautiful woman by his side.

As Ethan became more involved in Dee’s life, by becoming her mentor and helping her with her yoga business, plus the opportunities that seemed to come along for Dee, she felt that she was getting in too deep, she was out of her comfort zone, and everything was racing out of control. Added into the mix was her attraction to Ethan, something he didn’t appear to reciprocate, and something she couldn’t have happen anyway, as she would be hurt again….They were as alike as chalk and cheese, she was NOT a Roxburgh Girl!

I loved this book! It is not your normal run of the mill romance, and I loved Dee’s character. I laughed out loud through most of this book, mostly at and with Dee. With Janette Paul being Jaye Ford’s alter ego, I was always going to read this book, but again, the two styles are poles apart. Jaye writes thrillers, which I devour, and as Janette, she has written a brilliant novel with this one. I highly recommend Aussie author Janette Paul/Jaye Ford to everyone.

Thanks to NetGalley for my copy of this book to read and review.
