Her Perfect Hero

by Emma Bennet, Rebecca Norfolk (Narrator)

Romance writer Bronte Huntington lives in the beautiful village of Nettle Wood. She spends her days crafting perfect happy endings for the heroines in her books. But really, she’s waiting for her own Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet.

Her new neighbour, Ryan, seems lovely. He’s down to earth, he makes her laugh and he has a gorgeous Irish accent . . . But it seems they’re fated to just be friends.

Then Bronte meets aristocratic Sebastian Fairfax. As charming and handsome as the heroes in her novels, he’s everything she’s ever dreamed of.

But if he’s the one, why is he so hard to talk to? And could she ever get along with his rude, posh parents?

Bronte must choose her own destiny to find her perfect hero. But as she’s about to find out, the path to true love is never simple.

About the author

Emma grew up and lived in London, before falling in love and moving to Wales to marry her own hero. Emma now lives with her husband, 4 children, and many animals a few miles outside of a small Welsh market town. She can often be found in rivers attempting to control two overexcited chocolate labradors.

Seven charming romances are currently available from the Amazon bestselling authoress:

Number 1 Australian kindle bestseller, 'His Secret Daughter', is the heart-rending story of Iris, a woman falling in love with the father of her child. The only problem is she never told him they had a daughter.

The beautiful landscape around her home gave Emma the inspiration for 'The Green Hills of Home', a tale of love and duty in which country girl Gwen struggles to save her family home and avoid her feelings for her handsome, suave new boss. Is he quite all he seems?

'Snowed in for her Wedding Day' is a novella picking up Gwen's story as her wedding day approaches, but with terrible weather, and an absent groom, will she have the happy ending she so deserves?

'Just Desserts' is a novella about confused chef Leah, who's falling for her handsome French co-worker Jean-Claude, but meant to be marrying to Dan in just a few weeks! Who will she choose?

'Her Perfect Hero' was released in July 2015 as 'I Need a Hero', it's a lovely comic romantic read for anyone who's ever searched for Mr Right (and failed to find him!). Despair of Bronte, a romance writer, incapable of spotting when the perfect man is right next door! Full of horses, country houses and dentists, just beware of the foul-tempered cat Mr Darcy!

'Starstruck', proves that falling in love with a rock star is harder than you'd think! When newly divorced Kate finds school friend, now super famous rock star Joseph Wild, on her doorstep, her whole quiet, ordinary life is thrown into disarray. Is the attraction between them enough to make up for all the hurdles they have to cross if they want to be together?

Latest release, 'Her Sister's Baby' is a beautiful and emotional story about grief, the promises we make and finding love in the most unexpected of places.

Emma likes (in no particular order): cake, books, Cary Grant films, prosecco, chocolate, guinea pigs, knitting, quilting and happily ever afters!

Reviews

[Ashley Spencer · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was cute, and a break from a heavy read I just finished. Predictable but I still liked the story.

[Wendy · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNF’d the audiobook after the 3rd awful date with her “perfect” ungentlemanly, shallow mimbo, when I realized there’d been zero character development, I wanted to smack FMC upside the head, and I still had 4 hours of this to go. I’m all about the sweet cozy romance trend, but this one was giving much more “eww” than “aww” vibes.

⭐⭐1/2

Sweet, pretty clean, fluffy read. The FMC was so dense, how much more obvious did it need to be that Ryan was the one????

[Dell Hilton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun read, but pretty predictable
