Review by Marlene Engel
For the past twenty years, Faye
Dobson has been a devoted wife and loving mother. But when her daughter goes off to university
and her husband would rather curl up with a plumbing magazine than her, she
realizes that her life has become a bit stale.
When she was younger, she made a “living list” that consisted of all of
her hopes and dreams. When she comes
across the list and realizes that the only two things that she’s ticked off of
it was becoming a bride and being a mom, she decides to leave her husband and
her old life behind.
What she didn’t expect was to get the
hots for the young, Australian surfer who works at the deli. But there’s just something about the tanned
hottie from down under that gets Faye all giddy and saying all sorts of crazy
things. Although he’s ten years her junior, he has
paid more attention to her in the short time that they’ve known each other than
her husband has in years. And when he
gets a wind of her living list, he’s determined to be the one to help her break
out of her shell and throw caution to the wind.
But is Faye being unrealistic?
What would a guy like him want with a middle-aged woman like her?
Come on a hilarious journey with Faye
as she learns that life can be sweeter if you have the right person by your
side and who brings cake along for the ride.
Love, Lies and Lemon Cake is a
deliciously hilarious book that will have you laughing out loud and rooting for
the new Faye! From vajazzled lady parts
to fake bake, orange self-tanners, Sue Watson’s humor is brilliant and spot
on! This is the perfect books for
summer! Don’t walk, but run out and get
this book. You will be glad that you
did!

About
the Author:
I
was a journalist on women’s magazines and national newspapers before leaving it
all behind for a career in TV. As a producer with the BBC I worked on garden
makeovers, kitchen takeovers and daytime sofas – all the time making copious
notes so that one day I might escape to the country and turn it all into a
book.
After
much deliberation and copious consumption of cake, I left my life in TV to
write. My first novel was Fat Girls and Fairy Cakes about a woman struggling
with weight, work, marriage and motherhood. My second novel Younger, Thinner,
Blonder, is about a talk show host who has the perfect ‘Hello Magazine’ life…
or does she?
My
latest novel, Love, Lies and Lemon Cake is about hairdresser Faye Dobson, who’s
lost her sparkle. She dreams of being whisked to Paris for dinner, making three
wishes at the Trevi Fountain and having sex under the stars. But her wrinkles
are multiplying, her husband’s passion is only for plumbing, and the nearest
she’ll get to Rome is a take-away pizza. Can Faye get her life back before it’s
too late?
