Katy Carter Want's a Hero by Ruth Saberton, was actually better than I had expected. It's the story of a 29 year old woman who decides to pack in her job and take off to the seaside to write a novel... oh glorious escapism!
The story did become a little tedious. I got rather sick of the hopeless and ridiculous situations Katy got herself into that she really should’ve seen coming, however it was not to be taken too seriously.
I loved the beginning of the novel were when Katy was writing her romance novel and lines from her writing would slip into the story, I laughed out loud at some of them; ‘The voice contained a potent masculinity that made the small golden hairs on Millandra’s slim arms ripple deliciously’. Towards the end of the book these lovely lines disappeared and I didn't find the story quite as enjoyable. Funny that, I never thought of myself as a Mills and Boon girl.
This book comes from the pile of 'winnings' from the book depository and I’m quite happy that I’ve actually enjoyed one of these. I’m now much more hopeful that there may be a hidden gem in the pile.
119 days remaining, 19 books to go.
