This just isn’t seen often in romance books, where the hero is often a player.

He’s a farmer, attractive, but not too attractive, but most importantly, he’s described by the townsfolk as a “monogamist”. Roane is not your typical romance novel hero. I can’t say much more to spoil things, but a lot of what’s happening among the village-folk mirrors the subplots in the original (yet they’re different enough to make it unique and, thankfully, much more politically correct). Plot and tone-wise, this novel draws a lot from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Much Ado About You is a sweet and heartwarming read perfect for booklovers. Evie is determined to keep him at bay because a holiday romance can only end in heartbreak, right? But Evie can’t deny their connection and longs to trust in her handsome farmer that their whirlwind romance could turn in to the forever kind of love. Including Roane Robson, the charismatic and sexy farmer who tempts Evie every day with his friendly flirtations. Not only is Evie swept up in running the delightful store as soon as she arrives, she’s drawn into the lives, loves and drama of the friendly villagers. There’s no better dream vacation for the bookish Evie, a life-long Shakespeare lover. The holiday package comes with a temporary position at Much Ado About Books, the bookstore located beneath her rental apartment.

In a burst of impulsivity, she plans a holiday in a quaint English village.

Some time away to regain perspective might be just the thing. And when she’s passed over for promotion at work, Evie realizes she needs to make a change. The cozy comforts of an English village bookstore open up a world of new possibilities for Evie Starling in this charming new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young.Īt thirty-three-years old Evangeline Starling’s life in Chicago is missing that special something.
