‘Kate Thompson’s novels are sublimely addictive: insightful, stylish, romantic and funny.’

Marian Keyes

Life is sweet for rising stage and TV soap star Deirdre O’Dare. But jealous fears, spawned by arch-rival Sophie, that roguish boyfriend Rory is having a Hollywood fling threaten to ruin her happiness.

Retreating from Dublin to the hauntingly beautiful West of Ireland to work on a screenplay and lick her wounds, she meets gorgeous Gabriel – straight out of the Diet Coke ad and squire of the local manor. How could a girl possibly refuse?

Just wanted to email you to praise you for your wonderful books. You well and truly are an amazing author. My gran gave me More Mischief and I was glued to it. I've read 5 of your books in the space of a year and can’t get enough of them. They have brought me and my gran so close - we finally have something to talk about. Your books have made me so happy, I feel withdrawal symptoms if I don't have the next Kate Thompson book with me!! My fella thinks your books are like an affair!! Thank you so much!! I can’t get enough!!

I love your books so much I read them over and over again! My fav has to be the 2nd Mischief book! I cried my eyes out in Living the Dream though! I read that twice in one week! You are the best realistic romance writer I have come across for ages!!!! I have all your books!

I've just finished reading the 2 Mischiefs ( for the 10th time ) and am now reading Living the Dream

I just wanted to say ... thank you! Hunting around WH Smiths looking for a book I happened upon some of yours - namely the Mischief ones and thought I'd give them a go.  I absolutely loved them.  You have a wonderful expressive way of writing that grabs hold of you right to the very last page.  I thoroughly enjoyed them both - and am probably not the only one who has truly taken Deirdre and Rory to heart. They were read in days ... followed by my buying Going Down and Striking Poses!  The next two on the list are The Blue Hour and A Perfect Life and then it will be a case of waiting (im)patiently for each new publication!!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for giving us book lovers some wonderful novels to read, with some equally wonderful characters and locations. 
Simply put - your books are completely addictive!!

I have lived in Spain for 10 years. One day my husband was in Gatwick with time to spare and asked if I wanted anything, I was craving English books so sent him to the bookshop, he asked what sort of book I wanted, I told him something modern with romance, that would make me laugh, I couldn't have done better myself. He brought back More Mischief and I couldn't put it down, I immediately ordered It Means Mischief and I must have read them about 10 times each, until I found Going Down, which was just as good.  Thanks to Amazon I have managed to get all your other books sent out to Spain.

I am a fanatic reader of your books from Holland. I read all of them in 6 months.
It wasn't easy to buy them in Holland, but internet is a blessing. The first book I read was a translation in Dutch. (More Mischief) I got hooked immediately.....
My husband is also a fan. You got me reading Shakespeare, something he never got me to do. Love your books, can't wait for the new one.

I have only just discovered your novels recently, but already have read 5 of them! They really are truly addictive. I have finished More Mischief, and adored it. Deirdre and Rory have to be 2 of my favourite characters. I'm just waiting for a man like that to step into my life, but at 23, I'm in no hurry to have it come along. I think everyone of your readers can relate to certain aspects of your novels, and I'd like to thank you for inadvertently sorting out some problems in my own life through your writing. You really are an inspiration. Must get back to my book - I'll let u know how I get on with the rest of it! Looking forward to reading many more.

Thank you, thank you thank you for writing the Michief books. They are brilliant and have been read over and over again many times. I have only recently been able to lend the books to my closest friend because of the fear of them not being returned!!!
I have read Striking Poses which was also great and have just ordered the other books from Amazon - can't wait for the delivery in three days.
Thank you for the great, warm and funny characters.
