Favourite author:

Jennifer Crusie. She writes sassy and funny and modern with plenty of snark. But she also writes great heroes and all her books have a wonderful sense of community and female friendship which is so relatable. She does great bad sex and wonderful neurotic heroines.

Favourite book:

One of my current favourites is Agnes and The Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer.

Twenty words on why it’s your favourite books.

It's classic Crusie with the added hook of Bob Mayer (ex green beret) writing all the male POV. This is their second collaboration and they have grown together as a team so well. Their first book was great but Agnes is just wonderful. Fantastic characters you root for, a twist of intrigue and great relationship development.
