FromStarred Review Charmingly clumsy English teacher Katy Carter is writing a hot romance novel, Heart of the Highwayman, whenever she can steal a few minutes, even during staff meetings. She longs for her own Prince Charming, but her real-life love is her too-perfect fiancé, James, a banker. James dumps Katy after a series of misadventures, not to mention her complete lack of domestic skills, cause her to ruin the big dinner with his boss. Determined to make James want her again, Katy goes through a bizarre string of events. Loaded with a weird array of human and nonhuman characters—Katy’s best friend, Ollie; Cordelia, James’ stealthily evil bully of a mother; oddball Auntie Jewell; Reverend Rich and his wife, who sells sex toys out of the vicarage; a dog with a personality disorder; and Pinchy the lobster—Saberton’s debut novel is fast-paced and laugh-out-loud funny. With her clever, enchanting, hilarious tale, Saberton makes it crystal clear that chick lit is alive and well, and that Katy Carter is the heir apparent to Bridget Jones. One can only hope for a sequel. --Shelley Mosley Review'Fresh, fast-paced and funny -- what a debut' (5 stars) COMPANY 'This compulsive read is totally hilarious' CLOSER 'Perfect for the daily commute' WOMAN 'bound to get you page-turning...sweet and witty' HEAT 'This is a brilliant, humorous read which actually made me laugh out loud.
