When Tansy Poole inherits a run-down shoe
shop, this happens at just at the right time for her, she is in a relationship
that just does not seem to be working out, and when a further revelation is
revealed, the shop provides Tansy with the perfect way to escape from the
relationship and living in London. Tansy moves back to the Village of Sticklepond in
Lancashire where she grow up and was raised by a loving Aunt. Tansy’s dream is
to turn her Aunts Bright Shoes shop into Cinderella’s Slippers. Providing the
perfect wedding shoes for bride’s to be. Along with special chocolate shaped
shoes too. The shop is soon a huge success.
In Tansy’s home life things are not so
good. Tansy finds herself in a situation that is a little similar to Cinderella,
due to her also having two appalling stepsisters, who go out of their way to
meddle and cause trouble in Tansy’s life. When a handsome actor called Ivo Hawksley
moves in next door nursing a broken heart and playing depressive classical
music night after night adding to Tansy’s worry. But when Tansy and Ivo find
they have something in common and become friends, could there be a chance for a
happy ever after for Tansy after all?
Chocolate Shoes and Wedding Blues is just
one of those great stories that give you great pleasure to dip into, and find
yourself in another place, and into the lives of some very likable characters,
and to take some time out and lose yourself in a heart warming story, that is
well told with some good humour, drama and suspense to what family secrets will
be revealed. This is the first book I have read by Trisha Ashley, and I really
enjoyed reading this book, and will definitely be reading more of her work.
Trisha Ashley was born in St. Helens, Lancashire and now lives in the
beautiful surroundings of North Wales. She has written twelve romantic comedies and her last novel, The
Magic of Christmas, was a Sunday Times bestseller. A Winters Tale and Wedding
Tiers have been previously short listed for the Melissa Nathan award for
romantic comedy. Every Woman for Herself was voted one of the top three
romantic novels of the last fifty years.
