"A warm, enjoyable and amusing romance set in the Yorkshire Dales."
A delightfully warm and easy to sink into romance. Becky returns home to the Yorkshire Dales, wanting to fit back into the local community she and a group of villagers decide a Christmas Pantomime may just save the local village hall. This is the second in the ‘Love in the Dales’ series, and yet my first by Mary Jane Baker. I found it to be a perfect standalone read though I have no doubt that the first book A Bicycle Made For Two would have introduced me to several of the characters. Becky embraces village life, the age range of the villagers from young Pip through to grandparents with attitude ensures an all-encompassing hug. There are some wonderfully larger than life supporting characters who certainly encouraged several smirks to come forth and there are enough pantomime innuendos to please the most devilish of dames! I could see where The Perfect Fit was heading, and that was the joy of the read, as it was comforting, supportive, and highly entertaining.

A good old fashioned panto, lots of laughs, and a dash of romance. You won't regret picking up a copy of this truly magical book.
The Perfect Fit revolves a good old fashioned panto which the villagers put on to try, and save the village hall. If you read the previous book in the 'Love in the Dales' series then you'll feel right at home many of the characters feature in this one. This is the first book that I've read in the series, but at no point did I feel at a disadvantage having not read the previous book.
There's plenty of laughs to be had throughout as the panto doesn't get off to a smooth start. I really warmed to the characters quite quickly, and I loved the budding romance between Becky, and her panto co-star Marcus.
I'll be honest, and say that this isn't a book I'd normally go for (crime thrillers are my favourite genre), but I enjoyed it from start to finish.... Read Full Review
