'I wish I could get a seat on the tube... I hadn t eaten that entire bag of Maltesers... I could meet a man whose hobbies include washing up and monogamy...'
Heather Hamilton is always wishing for things. Not just big stuff - like world peace or for a date with Brad Pitt - but little, everyday wishes, made without thinking. With her luck, she knows they ll never come true...Until one day she buys some heather from a gypsy. Suddenly the bad hair days stop; a handsome American answers her ad for a housemate; and she starts seeing James - The Perfect Man who sends her flowers, excels in the bedroom, and isn t afraid to say I love you ... But are these wishes-come-true a blessing or a curse And is there such a thing as too much foreplay'Nobody does it quite like Alexandra Potter' -- Daily Mirror 'A touching, funny love-story' -- Company magazine 'Always perceptive, often funny, never dull' -- Heat magazine 'Sharp, witty dialogue' -- The Scotsman 'Slickly written and often very funny' -- The Times 'This warm and funny story... appeals to the romantic lurking in all of us' -- Sunday Mirror on CALLING ROMEO 'A cracking summer read' -- Heat magazine on CALLING ROMEO 'Essential reading' -- Company magazine on CALLING ROMEO PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS ALEXANDRA POTTER TITLES: 'Feel-good fiction full of unexpected twists and turns' -- OK! magazine
