Excerpt
“I hope we’re going to have enough food.”
Connie swept into the large banqueting hall of London’s prestigious Royale Hotel, clutching an elaborately decorated cake high above her head. If she held her arms any lower, she would trip over the flounced hem of her long dress.
“What’re you talking about?” Lucy gestured towards the table. “We’ve mountains of food. I think you’re forgetting we only have five people on our books; the four of us, who set up the whole thing in the first place plus my elderly aunt and she only joined for a laugh.”
“Yes, I know all that,” Connie huffed. “But don’t you see, this is what the launch is all about – getting more people to join and…” Unfortunately at that point, she trod on the hem of her dress and stumbled forward. The cake wobbled dangerously in her outstretched arms while she fought to regain her balance.
Seeing what was happening, Lucy rushed forward and managed to grab the cake before it crashed to the floor. “For goodness sake, your dress is far too long. Haven’t you something else you can wear?”
“No!” Connie replied. She hitched up her dress. “Well – not with me, anyway. Besides, I paid a fortune for this creation and I’m going to wear it if it kills me.”
Professional Reviews
Fizzes like Quality Champage
Divorce and broken marriage is a sad thing, but the writer handles the topic wonderfully with humor and insight when four divorcees get together to set up a dating agency for others in the same plight. It opens with an explosive pop of fun, like a bottle of bubbly, at the launch of their enterprising venture. Unforeseen problems and relationships emerge as the wonderfully drawn characters define themselves. Dialogue (and there is a lot of it) is superb. In fact, this would make a great movie! A must read... and not only for divorcees of both sexes.
A Funny Romance Comedy
I bought this looking for a funny romance comedy similar to Sex and the City, as it is one of my favorite shows. While not nearly as raunchy as the show, Divorcees.biz is an excellently crafted story about women looking for love and a little fun on the side. I thoroughly enjoyed it will remain a staple on my kindle.
