Heartshaped series, Book 1
by
Eliza J Scott
About the book...
Jemima Dewberry wears her heart on her sleeve. Her weakness for bad boys, coupled with her track record for making bad decisions has led to endless heartbreak. The only trouble is, she can’t seem to kick the habit.
On top of that, her “dream” job at Yorkshire Portions magazine hasn’t turned out to be what she’d hoped, and she seems to have developed the knack of annoying her boss without even trying. It doesn’t help that the new girl seems to have taken an instant dislike to her. All that’s keeping her there are her best friends Anna-Lisa and Aidey, who have picked up the pieces of her shattered heart more times than they care to remember.
When Jemima’s latest boyfriend turns out to be no better than the rest, the hurt and humiliation is almost unbearable. She declares she’s finally through with love, and swears off men for life. But when charismatic Caspar De Verre walks into the office with his dangerous good looks and mesmerising smile, she’s utterly captivated, and her promises to Anna-Lisa and Aidey not to let her heart rule her head are soon forgotten.
But is Caspar all he seems? Anna-Lisa and Aidey have their doubts. And Herbert, the happy-go-lucky black Labrador Jemima’s looking after, doesn’t seem to like him either.
As Jemima falls for Caspar’s charms she finds herself being forced to confront the struggle between her head and her heart. But which one will prove the most powerful?
And will Jemima get the happy-ever-after she so desperately craves?

Mim (aka Jemima) is SUCH a dear! Honestly, she wore her heart on her sleeve (something she learns to cover just a smidge by book's end), and cares with her whole self. Even when things aren't going just they way they should, she makes the best. After all, when life gives you lemons, you're suppose to make lemonade...right? Yeah, about that...
I felt SO BAD for her because she was stepped all over by the former boyfriend (Rick, grr), had to work with the likes of Honey Blossom (who is SO not anything like her name), be lorded over by her boss Catherine (not even going there), and suffer the advances of Caspar, the new office hunk...who, okay, definitely didn't make it seem like a hardship since we all like a little attention now and then, but there was just something a bit off about him. I mean, if the dog doesn't like him...they're a pretty good judge of character...I'd be questioning things! (That's right, Herbert! What a good doggo!) Good thing she has friends that have her back, come rain OR shine...which there is definitely both along this bumpy bit of Mim's life, but in the end, it all comes out right, and really, isn't that happy-ever-after what we're all striving for in our own ways?
So, good story? You betcha! Do I recommend it? Certainly! Who for? Contemporary Romance or Rom Com fans to be sure...but really anyone who enjoys seeing the good gal (and guy!) get what they deserve in the end...oh and just desserts served to everyone else!

About the author...
Eliza [Scott] is proud to be a member of the RNA. She lives in a 17th-century cottage in a village in the North Yorkshire Moors with her husband, their two daughters and two mischievous black Labradors. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found with her nose in a book/glued to her Kindle or working in her garden, fighting a losing battle against the weeds.
When she's not reading or gardening, Eliza also enjoys bracing walks in the countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop where she can indulge in another two of her favourite things: tea and cake.
Her biggest weakness is ginger biscuits dunked in tea.
Eliza is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heartwarming romance stories with relatable female characters. She enjoys exploring the dynamics of female friendship, with a key feature of her books being how women pull together and support one another when things get tough.
Eliza's novels will always have happy endings.
