The Recipe for Happiness

'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica RedlandWhen Serens brother Andrew signs her up to Yorkshire Dating, only for them to recommend that she gets a life before they find her a match, Seren has to admit that they may have a point. She loves her job cooking at an elder day centre and her little flat, but its fair to say her life is a little short of hobbies and friends. Since she was young Seren has felt safer close to home, but now shes a thirty-something divorcee, its time for a change. Change arrives in the shape of alarmingly clever collie Kez, who Seren offers to take in temporarily, and kind but mysterious new colleague Ned. But as Ned and Kez tempt Seren out of her shell, it means facing her fears. And when Andrew finally reveals the secrets of their childhood, Serens need for safety suddenly makes sense. A problem shared is a problem halved, and with friends by her side, Seren might be able to get a life that she loves at last.

I absolutely loved it and could not fault it.' 'I am a big fan of Jane Loverings books. She has a real knack for creating great characters and writing the perfect blend of romance and humour often with some more serious issues included. Her books will make you smile for sure but are also often rather emotional.' 'It wouldnt be a book by Jane Lovering without that great balance between the ever-present humour the set pieces and the wonderful one-liners and the sensitively handled issues and emotional moments.' 'A compulsively readable, highly recommended book.'
