The Perfect Moment by Alix Kelso-Womens contemporary fiction

Laura has worked at Valentino’s for ten years and loves it. The people,

the busyness, the characters and the food and so she is devastated when her

boss Natalie who has also become a friend, announces that she is putting the

business up for sale. She started there after her parents died and it has given

her a focus as well as friends.  Across the road at The Crooked Thistle Keith

and his nephew Bruce are also busy. Bruce has his own business in a pub

and sold up when his wife left him and he now helps Keith out. Bruce and

Laura come up with a plan to get Keith and Natalie together on a date-

they are poles apart character wise but Laura thinks it would do Natalie

good to get out for a change and it just might give her something else to

think about rather than selling the business. This is a wonderful read and

very well written. I was stunned (in a good way) that this is a debut novel-

the words and characters flow as if from someone with many books

experience. I loved all main four characters as each had more about them

than just the main plot line. A book you relax into and want to find out

more as you turn the pages.I very much look forward to the next in the series.

Hatching a plan to set her up with the local pub owner, Laura hopes the two of them will make a connection that might just change her mind.

Yet Laura thinks she’s happy with her dull boyfriend, and Bruce won’t risk another broken heart. As the future of Valentino’s hangs in the balance, can these two lost and lonely people find the perfect moment to start their lives again together? Treat yourself to THE PERFECT MOMENT, a sweet, funny, emotional romance about new beginnings and being brave enough to follow your heart.
