Book Description
The path of true love never did run smooth...did it? Kelsey Anderson is stuck in a rut so big, she’ll need a 4-wheel drive to get out. She’s just been made redundant from her dead-end job, and boyfriend Fran is so busy climbing up the career ladder that he’s forgotten how to have fun. She needs to change her life – and fast. Stumbling across an advert for tour guides in Stratford-Upon-Avon seems like the perfect way to bring the sunshine back. In an impulsive move, she moves from her small Scottish village to Shakespeare’s birthplace, armed only with a suitcase and her battered copy of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Kelsey quickly falls in love with the place, her job as a tourist guide allowing her to explore every inch of the picture-perfect town, from cosy cafes to the picturesque banks of the river. But it’s not just the town that captures her heart, as she finds herself torn between the actors Will and Jonathan who both vie for her affections. But will beautiful Peony, the lead actress at the Oklahoma theatre company where Jonathan is playing Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, play a role in keeping Kelsey and Jonathan apart? Or will flirtatious, charming Will, the fellow tour guide who has set his sights on Kelsey, keep the star-crossed lovers from finding their happy ending? A gorgeously uplifting, feel good romance that will captivate readers of Holly Martin, Cathy Bramley and Milly Johnson. Readers are loving One Summer’s Night: 'I absolutely loved this debut novel from Kiley Dunbar...I haven't enjoyed a book in this genre as much as this for a long time...I defy anyone not to be rooting for Kelsey and booking a mini-break to Stratford when they finish this book!

Why Men Marry and Why Men Don't is a tell-all self-testing book that titillates, entertains and educates the shrewd single woman, and the curious and courageous man. It's a non-scientific parlor game to help you determine why certain men marry and others don't, define the type of man you want to marry and discern the ones you don't.

Then consider what could happen if you never find the man that you want to marry but choose to stay superiorly single. This fresh, funny, feel-good must read, contains a calculating choose-a-husband system instead of a catch-and-corner any man scheme. It gives the husband hunting woman a path to new found clarity and a personalized shopping list to make her the "chooser" instead of the passive "chosen." Why Men Marry and Why Men Don't should be required reading for the clever contemporary woman in choosing the consummate husband.
