Jayne Denker is the author of cute and contemporary romance novels The Rom-Com Agenda and Down on Love. She’s returned to the lovely town of Willow Cove with another sweet and swoony story to pull at the heartstrings.

Gillian is happily divorced, single and loving life working as a pharmacist while tending to her beautiful home and spending time with her friends. After a string of failed attempts at online dating there’s nothing more satisfying than spending time in her garden. When Noah moves in next door to Gillian things are about to get a little more interesting. Noah is irritable, touchy, arrogant, not to mention handsome. He starts to change things in her safe haven just when Gillian is about to enter Willow Cove’s annual gardening competition. Amid their constant quarrelling they soon find themselves in a position where they might need each other more than they would have expected.

It’s Probably You is a lovely cosy read that I relished from beginning to end. The slow build-up of the start made for a very pleasantly paced, entertaining and delightful story. The enemies-to-lovers theme is a great way to get a feel for the characters of Gillian and Nick and their moments and interactions with each other, which are full of laughter and repartee throughout. Highly recommended.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I’ve been a writer all my life. I’ve also worked as an editor and proofreader, which makes my novels, if nothing else, very clean. Of course, in publishing terms that means very few grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.

After I quit my last full-time job to stay home and raise my son. The idea of getting back to writing fiction after many years in the non-fiction biz was intriguing, so I joined NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and jumped right in. Overnight success took three and a half years.

I divide my time between working hard to bring the funny in my closed-door, low-spice romantic comedies, raising a son who’s way too clever for his own good, and wrangling two demented (but in a good way) felines. When I’m not hard at work on another novel (or, rather, when I should be hard at work on another novel), I can usually be found frittering away stupid amounts of time on social media.
