by IsabelWolff (Author)
The fifth novel from the hugely entertaining writer of RESUING ROSE. Stylishly written, sophisticated but warmhearted and accessible, this is Isabel Wolff at her inimitable best.
All men are beasts...
...or so Miranda Sweet believes. As an animal behaviourist, she's good at understanding aggressive Airedales and irritated iguanas, but she can't understand why the men in her life have always behaved so badly. Especially Alex, her ex-fiance and the biggest let-down of her romantic career. In Miranda's opinion, animals are braver, kinder and a lot more reliable. So she's given up on love to open her own clinic and work her magic on neurotic pets and their anxious owners.
Can Miranda keep the whole male species at bay for ever? Her best friend, Daisy, an incurably romantic wedding-planner, doesn't think so, and when a delicious photographer comes into her life, even Miranda starts to wonder if she's been a bit hasty. But, just when she's letting her guard down, her past starts to catch up with her and she has to turn her expert eye on her own behaviour, which hasn't always been as sweet as she'd like to pretend...
