Behind the Clouds

by Victoria Mae

The lost love
The best friend
The blast from the past
The perfect man


1. Take one Melanie Butler, (teacher, baker, and romantic-dreamer); mix in a publicly humiliating lack of proposal.

2. Stir in gently 2 x unhinged sisters, and a handful of eclectic friends. Best combined with mountain-top meditation, alcohol of choice, and surprise flight.

3. Prepare for unexpected changed and possible disasters to the overall colour and shape.

4. When ready, carefully add the ingredients listed above. Be patient as each will add their own unique flavour. Continue to roll until you've reached your desired consistency.

5. Temper, in spite of any unexpected hiccups, tragedies, or challenges.

6. Turn up the heat, season to taste, and bake until you reach your ideal result.


Teacher, baker, and romantic-dreamer, Melanie Butler is about to receive the icing on the cake of her her long-term boyfriend, Evan, is finally ready to propose...only thing is, it's to another woman. Publicly humiliated and broken-hearted, Melanie's slightly unhinged sisters and eclectic group of friends help her find her feet as a newly-found singleton - from a spot of mountain-range meditation to a surprise flight. Grateful to have best friend Dave encouraging her to move on with her life, she starts dating the handsome and perfect fireman Julian. But when childhood nemesis Craig re-surfaces a little too close to home, his obnoxious words begin to reflect thoughts she's been trying to bury. And when tragedy strikes, Melanie takes on a huge challenge, beginning to see not only what, but who is important in her life. Can love defeat betrayals, and can you truly find happiness Behind the Clouds?

Fabulous read!

I read to wind down but I couldn't put this down! I am sad that I have finished it. A thoroughly enjoyable read of romance, friendship and self discovery, with a few interesting twists along the way. Chick lit meets self help! I thoroughly recommend!

So I didn’t read this book again, but instead have had the absolutely pleasure of proof reading (cos I’m a totally grammar nazi) this author’s upcoming release, it’s not even out yet!!! It’s called Between the Lines and it’s absolutely stunning and it really has been a pleasure proof reading it and getting to read it before it’s out in the world! This author is absolutely one to watch, she’s completely fabulous and deserves to have an agent and a publisher. Superb.

Really enjoyed

A nice easy book to read, just wish I was somewhere warm and with the sand between my toes when I read it.
