Reader Reviews:
Truly wonderful! (2/2 people found this helpful)
I have to admit, I'm a Christina Jones fan from way back, so to read a new book where some of my absolutely favorite characters from former books show up was, well, heaven sent. It was especially wonderful to see Jemima and Charlie end up happily ever after (although we knew that they would!) And please take note, Jemima and Charlie were not "minor characters" in Jumping to Conclusions, although Charlie did make his first appearance in Going the Distance. But all that aside, the main plot of Heaven Sent is absolutely one of Christina's best. Clemmie is the type of heroine you just love from the start, and Guy is the perfect foil to her. YaYa adds a delightful camp light touch and Guy's "ex" family is just the right touch of bad! You really don't have to have read a single other Christina Jones book to love this one! Definitely five stars!
Enjoyable (2/2 people found this helpful)
I really enjoyed this one from Christina Jones but, like another reviewer, wish it had been longer and that more time had been concentrated on the Guy/Clemmie relationship. Still, thoroughly recommend as is!
Another wonderful read from Christina Jones (4/4 people found this helpful)
Christna Jones delivers another wonderful installment of life down in the wilds of Berkshire. This time Clemmie is trying to find the spark in life and love and Christina does not disapoint! I waited for ages to read this and it was well worth it, as always the story ties in with the other books in the series and it's great to get a follow up on the other charaters from earlier books. The story was great fun and the charaters as lovable and so much fun you almost want to go and meet them. This book as with the rest is a nice way to escape real life for a while and always makes me laugh out loud.
Whimsical, page turning fun (3/4 people found this helpful)
This was my first Christina Jones novel and it definitely won't be the last. I simply couldn't put it down. It is more whimsical than other 'chick lit' books and romance novels I usually read but for sheer page-turning fun, I don't think I've read a more enjoyable book this year. The characters are larger than life and seem to exist one step away from reality but that's part of the charm for me. I do agree with the other reviewer in that we could have seen more of Guy. He's set up to be so brooding and mysterious, yet he was off the page too often. However, I have to give Heaven Sent five stars for pure escapist indulgence (and a must-have cover. I'm shallow like that)
An explosive read !! (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is another corker from Christina Jones. If you've enjoyed all her other books you'll love this one. Great to catch up with characters from all her previous books as well. If you haven't read any of her previous books start with this one and you'll be hooked. A really feel good read that leaves you smiling. Can't wait for Christina's next book.
