Book Review - Mad About You by Joan Kilby




My Thoughts

Scott has a tech invention that he needs investors for and the only person he trusts for the job is his best friend Cassy, so he asks her to move in with him and work for him. It ends up that he is also extremely awkward around women and doesn't want the distraction so he asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend as well. Cassy has been in love with him for years, but he has never taken the time to look at her as anything more than a friend. Living and working together becomes just the distraction he needs to look at her in a whole new way.

I love that Scott has a vulnerability and an innocence to him. It was just so sweet to read as he went down the list of things that Cassy had told him that women like wanting so much to please her. I love that their relationship began as children and the moment they shared those stories with Lorraine was wonderful. I loved hearing about their shared history. I love that Cassy totally gets Scott. She knows he quirky and understands his childhood pain. They are just so lovely together.

I give Mad About You 4 hearts!

About the Author

When I'm not working on a book I can often be found sipping a  latte at my local cafe and indulging my favorite past-time of people watching.

Growing up in Vancouver, Canada, I always wanted to be a writer. In university I took a detour to study marine biology. I worked as an environmental biologist for many years until the birth of my first child.
I loved staying at home with my kids because not only could I  raise them myself but I could indulge my first love -- writing. I soon realized story-telling was what I was always meant to do.
 
Twenty years later I'm still hooked on writing. I've published over twenty-five books with Harlequin. I'm now writing for Entangled Publishing and have a couple of self-publishing projects on the go.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, with my husband and three grown children. As well as writing and hanging out in cafes (Melbourne has the best coffee!) I go to the gym, walk my dog, cook, hike, garden, swim and read. I belong to Toastmasters Club and numerous writing organizations.
