Commentary During Books Surfing in Stilettos
Amanda Wilson is all geared up for an exciting gap-year, travelling across Europe. She soon finds her plans thwarted when she is abandoned in France with only a cellarful of Chateau Plonk, a large, orange Space Hopper, and Old Ted, the dog, for company. Fate has intervened to turn Amanda's life on its head. First the campervan breaks down. Then her dopey son, Tom, who is staying in their house in the UK, begins wrecking it, one piece at a time. The jaw-dropping video Skype calls that her irrepressible mother insists on making are, by contrast, making Amanda's humdrum trip even less palatable. Finally, she discovers that her new-found, French friend, Bibi Chevalier, had engineered a plan to ensure that her philandering husband would never stray again; unfortunately, Amanda is unwittingly drawn into the scheme, becoming a target. Meanwhile, on a beach in Sydney, a lonely Todd Bradshaw realises that his first true love, Amanda Wilson, is definitely the only woman for him. Can he get back into her good books and hopefully back into her arms with his latest plan? Or will fate intervene yet again and turn everyone's lives upside down?Point Books Toward Surfing in Stilettos

Some of the comments make me chuckle.Chapter One sees Todd Bradshaw experiencing a night of passion with Amanda. Waking exhausted he finds it was only a dream! Todd is a man who has missed the opportunities in the past but Amanda is still haunting him.On the road, we learn from Phil about the night before. Amanda and her mother Grace (having recently got in touch) were up all nightFifty is not the end of lifeor the end of funor so Amanda Wilson thinks when she and her grumpy husband, Phil, leave home and head for a vacation in France in their camper van.

Some great laugh out loud moments in this novel. Loved it... but I believe I've read this one before I should have. Amanda Wilson is first introduced to the world in Miniskirts and Laughter Lines. Carol's quick wit and zany sense of humour come through and are intermingled with more serious plot lines. And, I'll never look at a potted chrysanthemum the same way again...
Surfing in Stilettos is the spectacular sequel to Carol E Wyers first novel Mini Skirts and Laughter lines, continuing the story of the determined and captivating Amanda Wilson. With much anticipation and expectation preceding her former work as standards were raised high, I was hence delighted as once again Carol has produced something of outstanding caliber that is as brilliant as book one.

I took my daughter to the Drs last week, she was snuggled up with me, and I got my tablet out with
It is just over a year since I published my review of Carol Wyer's début novel Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines, the last paragraph of which I shall repeat here. 'A very funny book and I feel an excellent début from an author whose writing we can expect to see get even better as she grows in confidence. She has a tremendous sense of humour and has the ability to see the funny side of life in every day events. Keep writing Carol as I think there are many of us women of a certain age that will keep

I read her first book, Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines and enjoyed it so much, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this, the sequel.Was I disappointed? No way! Was it as good as the first book? No, it was even better and that is saying something.
