A Promising Man (and About Time, Too)
A Promising Man (and About Time, Too) | Elizabeth Young
7 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
From the fire-hot author of Asking for Trouble comes a second irresistibly funny and romantic novel, in which we meet the delightfully wicked Harriet and John, who are matched as perfectly as scones and clotted cream -- if only Harriet would let herself indulge. Up to her eyeballs in her friends' dramas, Harriet Grey has no time for her own, let alone getting entangled with John Mackenzie. And though it's been ages since she's met one of the most gorgeous men London has to offer, it seems John's entangled with someone else. Or is he? Though they say all's fair in love, Harriet isn't about to complicate her life -- or risk her heart. But the persistent John seems to pop up everywhere she turns, and soon she's agreeing to meet him for a cocktail to repay a favor. After all, what harm can come out of one innocent little drink? Maybe a few breathtaking kisses, some suspiciously lingering embraces, and a wonderful weak-kneed dizziness that most definitely is not the flu. And that's before she finds herself all alone with John at Christmas. .

I post about this book every year, but it's one of my absolute favorites, and is hands-down my favorite romance. Main character Harriet feels so real, as do her friends and family, and her love interest, John. And I'm a sucker for the penultimate chapter, which makes Prague seem like the perfect, romantic #WinterWonderland. #DecemberSong

I read this years ago, and it still remains my #FavoriteLoveStory. Harriet's friends and family feel so real, and her relationship with John never fails to make me #smile. There is a wonderfully swoony climax in the snow, in Prague, and it gets me every time! #FebruaryFeels #ReallyRandomFebruary

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Pretty!! I‘m thinking I‘m going to have the same problem 🤷🏼‍♀️💞 5y
vkois88 I don't think it's as common as color for books... even romances lean more towards the crimsons 5y
JuliaTheBookNerd @vkois88 Pink, yellow and silver seem to be underused book colors 😊💕💛🔗 5y
vkois88 Ooooh, silver would be beautiful! 5y

Fair Game is one of my favorite books ever, and despite this rather spring-y cover, is beautifully #SetInWinter. If you're a romance/chick lit fan, I can't recommend this one highly enough. It takes place mainly in London around Christmastime, with a gorgeous little sliver set in snowy Prague. In America, it's called A Promising Man (And About Time, Too). Whichever title you find it under, let me know what you think of it! #DeckTheShelves

This is my favorite chick-lit ever, and one of my favorite winter-weather books. We got 9 inches of snow today, so what better to do than stay in with twinkle lights and eggnog and Harriet and John's romance in snowy London and Prague? #winterreads #snowedin #seasonsreading
