Katy Carter Wants a Hero

By Ruth Saberton

Book Overview

Katy Carter is a sucker for romance... A fun, feel-good, modern rom-com about one woman's search for her hero.

Katy Carter knows she's no domestic goddess: she's scatterbrained, she needs a fire extinguisher at the ready when she's cooking, and she daily falls off the diet wagon. But that doesn't stop her fantasising about a hero to call her own. And Katy thinks she's found him in fianc James, a charming, high-flying city banker. So why, then, does Katy find herself scribbling steamy historical romances every spare moment she gets, and daydreaming about becoming a published author when she ought to be paying attention in staff meetings?

As her wedding day looms, Katy determines to become a wife James can be proud of, and employs the help of her best friend Oliver to impress his colleagues and his family. But despite best laid plans, the pair set off a hilarious train of events that leads Katy on a crazy journey through celebrity, chaos, makeovers and, finally, into the arms of her hero...

Customer Reviews

Ok but occasionally frustrating

Entertaining but frustrating- I get too irritated by females with no self awareness, no self respect and who allow themselves to be bullied/ steamrollered/treated like doormats. I suppose the book would shorter if someone just gave them a salutary slap? That said, the writing style is good, with some truly humorous moments, the plot OK, but the characters are mostly self absorbed, not rounded out and hard to identify with.
