Alice knows she ought to be content. She is a lovely twenty-eight-year-old who runs a profitable catering company. She had always imagined herself in a rose-covered cottage in the English countryside, surrounded by kids, dogs, and homemade dinners. Her go-to outfit consists of baggy trousers, and her finest manicure has garden soil below her nails. Nevertheless, Alice is more than happy to play Cinderella to Joe Chambers, her adolescent infatuation, who happens to be a rich and attractive man about town, and wants to marry her. Never mind that he's allergic to children and the outdoors, and that he wants her to change—a diet, ice-blond highlights, stilettos, snooty art openings, etc. She reassures herself that she is willing to make sacrifices for love and that every woman in London aspires to be like Joe, given his attractive appearance and prominent position at a prestigious financial business.
However, it is the only issue. Alice tries her hardest to be the ideal wife, but Joe quickly shows that he has a habit of being utterly disloyal. Alice's life is completely turned upside down when Joe is forced to relocate to New York due to a well-known indiscretion with a female coworker. Alice has to choose how much more Cinderella she can take before her innermost desires triumph and if she has the bravery to pursue true happiness on her own, especially when Joe keeps making unexpected appearances and her best friend's boyfriend tantalizes her with a seductive peek of what genuine love may be like.
You will be cheering for its charming heroine as you read To Have and To Hold—it's delicious, funny, and full of scintillating sex appeal.
