‘Witty, sexy, escapist fun.’ The Express

‘Warm, witty, sexy and compulsively readable.’ Cathy Kelly

Ella Nesbit is young, good-looking and has a wicked way with the violin. She also has a great job working in a Dublin recording studio. So why isn’t life more fun? Could Julian, the trainee from hell, have something to do with it? Or is it really to do with Ella’s unreciprocated passion for her boss?

When Ella’s granny wins a holiday for two to Jamaica, things start to look up. Intrepid Ella dons a wetsuit, discovers scuba, and learns something about life from Rastafarian Raphael. But closer to home, a dark horse is coming up on the outside…

In this brilliant, bubbly, sexy tale from the bestselling author of the Mischief books, Ella eventually discovers what she really, really, wants – and finds a sensational way to get it.

Subject: A fan letter (my 1st ever)
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your novels and your website.
Your books are well written, romantic, humorous, full of snappy dialogue, sexy (especially a few scenes in Going Down), and basically an all around great read.

I am a voracious reader (typically read 3-4 books a week).  As I live in a place with one mediocre bookstore, most of my books are ordered through Amazon UK. When my latest Amazon box arrived with Striking Poses, I immediately started reading.  By the next afternoon I was finished and ready for more!

Love your books and have just finished reading Sex, Lies & Fairytales. Am looking forward to the next installment. My favourite books were Going Down and The Blue Hour. I always buy your books as they are launched along with books by other authors, but hold onto yours, knowing it'll be the best. Hence I've only just read S,L&F. Only took me a few days to read. It was one of those books that I couldn't put down. Some evenings I'd be getting the dinner ready and have my bum propped against the Stanley reading away.

I have just read your latest newsletter and think its great that you will be resurrecting old characters. I would really love to hear what happened to Ella and Ferdia from Going Down.  Going Down was the first of your books I read and I have now worked my way through them all courtesy of my local library.  Am eagerly awaiting a new instalment.

I love your books. I have read them all (some several times) and they are the perfect antidote to every day hum drum, so I thank you. Any chance you can let us know how Ferdia (from Going Down) is doing - if ever a fictional character could have been described as 'sex on legs' it was him!

Hello Kate - I just wanted to say how much i enjoyed reading your book Going Down. I am off down to WHS to get another!
Hello again, Kate - just a little note to say I have just finished reading More Mischief and as the one before I thought it was excellent. I really like Deirdre and Rory - will you be writing another book to carry on from where it was left off? I have The Blue Hour waiting for me to collect, and then it’s A Perfect Life are there any more of yours I have missed? Helen 

Just a quick note to say I thought It Means Mischief was absolutely excellent. I have had to order More Mischief, so I eagerly await...Helen

I wrote to you quite some time ago when I had read Going Down. I am very pleased to say I have actually been scuba diving since then in Kenya after being inspired by your book.
I have so enjoyed reading Striking Poses on holiday. I just love totally becoming immersed on the books you write. You are so talented and I cannot wait for the next book. You are my favourite author and I love to indulge in your fabulous books. Thank you for such escapism.
