Waiting In The Wings
Is true love waiting in the wings for Annie? A fresh, funny and romantic novel with a terrifically engaging heroine.
Actress Annie Mitchell is devastated. Her husband Max has run off with her best friend, leaving her with a stack of unpaid bills and the self-esteem of the last sandwich in a railway buffet.
But salvation is on the horizon care of her agent, Julia, who has a tall, dark and disconcertingly sexy surprise up her sleeve. Protesting madly, Annie finds herself bound for Yorkshire and a starring role in rep'. The only problem being that Much Ado About Nothing has nothing on events at the Phoenix Theatre. Not only is Annie forced to work with Nick Ryan, Julia's surprise and the man Annie ditched for Max, but something or someone is determined to see the Phoenix reduced to ashes...

When Actress Annie's husband leaves her for her friend she is shocked. To support herself and to get away from her husband Max she takes a theatre job in Yorkshire. The director is Nick, an old flame of hers.
The theatre is old and is in disrepair. Actors are a superstitious lot and there is rumours of a ghost haunting the theatre and a curse. At the same time Nick is fighting to open the theatre with mounting costs of repairs. Is it the ghost or is it a person who doesn't want it to open?

Waiting in the Wings is Donna Hay's 2000 release. It's about an actress who has just been left by her husband for her best friend. She's not dealing too well with the news and decides to take up a job far away from London, that just happens to be directed by the man, she ditched to marry her husband six years ago. Talk about awkward!
This book was a really easy read. It took about 2 hours to get through it. I liked almost all of the characters. There was a bit of mystery and supernatural undertones which made the story interesting. I wish the supernatural part had been a little better developed.
I have a couple of Donna Hay books left to read, and I have enjoyed all the ones I've read so far, and have the feeling I will continue to do so.

A nice easy and quick read if a bit predictable.
Some bits felt a bit rushed - the setting up of the story seemed to take a long time and then the "love story" element seemed to almost happen within a few pages.

haven't read this author before and enjoyed this book. The main character of Annie was likeable, although a bit self absorbed, but she is an actress!!
