Chloe Flynt is a party girl extraordinaire. Unfortunately, it's
time for this English rose to grow up and find a job. So far she's
tried training as an artist, a chef, and an interior designer,
but nothing has really taken. Truthfully, the only thing she's
really good at doing is breaking up. Three failed engagements,
as well as friends' testimony as to her usefulness in breaking
off their own bad relationships, certainly seem to prove it. A
meeting with some of those very same friends convinces Chloe that
this is the job that could very well last. She'll become The Breakup
Artist and help those in need end their unwanted relationships,
for a hefty fee of course; after all, nothing priced too cheaply
is ever valued highly. But where will Chloe start her new business?
Why, America of course! The country is known for its appreciation
of an entrepreneurial spirit, and given what they put on the telly,
there're certainly many people who could use her talents.
Arriving in Texas, Chloe is thrilled to discover that there's
a long, tall Texan living right next door who looks good enough
to eat. Too bad Matthew Tanner is her landlord, not to mention
taken. If only he, or his girlfriend Brittany, required her services.
Oh well, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and luckily for
Chloe, many of them are eager to escape their own bad relationships.
In the beginning of THE ONE I WANT, readers are introduced to
Chloe, a woman who comes across as somewhat spoilt and shallow;
she also appears to have the attention span of a gnat. Though
the spoilt part is true (Chloe herself admits to it), Chloe isn't
shallow, and once she sinks her teeth into her new business, it
becomes clear that she's also not the thoughtless girl she first
appeared to be. In fact, this is one tough cookie with not just
brilliant (and expensive) fashion sense, but brains aplenty. You're
sure to fall in love with Chloe, even as she helps others end
their loves. Will Chloe ever be able to say "You're THE ONE
I WANT"? You'll have to read her story to find out.
It's difficult to regard the secondary characters in this book
as anything but primary as they all contribute greatly to the
story, enriching Chloe's life and adding their own special spin
to THE ONE I WANT. First off is Matthew Tanner, an ex-cop who
now makes his living in real estate; he's sexy and honest, a good
guy who just needs the right woman to complete his life; luckily
he's found her in Brittany. Or is Brittany the right girl? Sweet
Brittany is a bit overwhelmed by Matthew, allowing him to walk
all over her without protest. Then there's Stephanie Somers; she
just got engaged (again) to a man everyone claims is perfect for
her, so why is she so certain that their first breakup should
have been forever? Rafael Escobar has problems, too; this cop
is trying to get over his bad habit of falling for women who need
"fixing." Deborah Beaumont, together with her lover
Jordan, has just released a best selling book on love. Despite
that, their relationship seems to be at risk. All of these characters,
along with Chloe, will learn and grow throughout the book, finally
coming to terms with who, and what, they want.
For a romance certain to delight and entertain, you can't go
wrong with one of Nancy Warren's fabulous books. Stop by www.nancywarren.net
for a complete listing. If you enjoy Chloe's story (and how could
you not?), I'd suggest getting BRITISH BAD BOYS (Nov. 2006). This
anthology tells Chloe's brother's story (as well as those of a
couple of other sexy Brits). Don't miss THE ONE I WANT, available
in bookstores now.
