About the book…

It wouldn’t be the theater without a few theatrics…

Becoming a famous playwright is all Winnie ever dreamed about. For now, though, she’ll have to settle for assisting the celebrated, sharp-witted feminist playwright Juliette Brassard. When an experimental theater company in London, England, decides to stage Juliette’s most renowned play, The Lights of Trafalgar, Winnie and Juliette pack their bags and hop across the pond.

But the trip goes sideways faster than you can say “tea and crumpets.” Juliette stubbornly butts heads with the play’s director and Winnie is left stage-managing their relationship. Meanwhile, Winnie’s own work seems to have stalled, and though Juliette keeps promising to read it, she always has some vague reason why she can’t. Then, Juliette’s nephew, Liam, enters stage left. He’s handsome, he’s smart, he is devastatingly British…and his family ties to Juliette pose a serious problem, forcing Winnie to keep their burgeoning relationship on the down-low. What could go wrong?

Balancing a production seemingly headed for disaster, a secret romance and the sweetest, most rambunctious rescue dog, will Winnie save the play, make her own dreams come true and find love along the way—or will the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune get the best of her?

My thanks to Tracy Fenton of Compulsive Readers and publishers Zaffre for the blog tour invite and gifted review copy of ‘Here For The Drama’ by Kate Bromley

Oh this is such a palate cleanser of a novel if, like me, you have been knee deep in horror and murders lately ,blood and body parts stacked up in the to read pile like no one’s business!

Which is why it was a pure delight to read the story of the delightful Winnie,co-opted into accompanying playwright, Juliette,on tour to the UK where both have high hopes that their writing will bead fruit.

Winnie,because she needs to finish the play she is writing for a competition which will give her a leg up in the industry that she adores, and Juliette who has had huge success…..but in the past. Every time she asked what will she do next,it is a stumbling block.

So when the opportunity comes knocking for them both to return to London,Juliette persuades Winnie to tag along and meet her nephew,someone she has only previously spoken to over the phone.

As someone wanting to step into the limelight in her own right, Winnie 100% needs to center her own ambition and does not need a distraction like Liam.

So when sparks begin to fly and they are forbidden to see each other,will the resulting fallout lead to a comedy,a tragedy or a happy ending?

Absolutely fizzing with brilliant characters, high drama (Juliette is magnificently dramatic!) and a high wire will they/won’t they story line,this is a wonderfully engaging summer read.

Will you be here for the drama?
