review 1: I would loved to have given this book 4 stars but an irritation of something in it brought it down a notch for me. The florist Molly Bailey runs out of her floral shop to buy a lottery ticket at the end of the day. She wins 4.2 million pounds. Molly's family is miserly and she keeps it a secret running off on an adventure to give away money to others to make them happy. Tom MacKenzie gets hold of the story from the start and decides to pack up his car and follow her. What he did not bargain for was the arrival of his daughter Flora on his doorstep the very morning he was to leave. She tags along and makes a great sidekick for him on his chase. The story is fun and predictable. It is all that chic lit is supposed to be but I became irritated by some remarks about Americans ... moreby Tom. I felt the remarks did not add to the story in the least. It was almost as if the author (who I have contacted by email previously after reading another book and found her such a nice lady) was putting forth her own thoughts just for the sake of them. I was amazed as I found them inappropriate. It is my own opinion and many may read this and not think twice about it but I come from a background where some things need not be said in life.
review 2: 3.5 starsThis was as cute and British as you can imagine. It took a bit of time to get used to the pace but as the story progressed, the pace got faster and it was perfect. The ending was as cute as the book cover, really :D Maybe a bit too adorable but it was to be expected.About the characters - the author´s done a great job because she made me hate Molly´s family with my soul. OK, not hate...just make bile rise in my throat whenever they were mentioned because they´re the type of people that just make me go aaaaaaaaaargh. And the two main characters - Molly and Tom, both equally likeable - you just have to root for them even though you don´t really know anything and their contact is rather sporadic. It gets better but still, this kind of a thing really happens in romantic books and films - there wasn´t much base for their romance, yet I was dying for them to be together. In the real world, I´d be asking questions, being doubtful :D less
