The premise of this book was so intriguing….Mara, on holiday alone after her best friend cancels, goes to a palm reader. While she’s getting her palm read, the palm reader goes into labour, not before she tells Mara she will meet and fall in love with a tall man who works with his hands after she fixes something in her life. As the palm reader races off to the hospital, she tells Mara to lock up. Before Mara has a chance, a tall handsome stranger strolls in with his cello (ooh - he works with his hands!) looking to get his fortune told. Mara impersonates the palm reader and advises him to go to a small seaside town in England on the last Friday of August and look for a woman named Mara in a bar. It’s fate Mara thinks to herself after setting it up. She finally found her dream man. But has she? Mara was a tough main character to like. She was so unlikeable, unbelievable that a 31 year old would be that ‘square’ so lonely and so into astrology she can’t make a decision by herself. But then the novel proceeds and Mara becomes the woman she was meant to be and the life she is meant to live. I ended up falling in love with this book. Such a great read with some steamy romance built in. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
