Synopsis
Enna Petersen has never been good at making personal decisions, particularly when she has to choose between her passions. As a theater director, the stage is her world, the spotlight her vitamin D, the waft of greasepaint her oxygen. However, when her handsome American businessman boyfriend proposes and paints the picture of a luxurious life in Pennsylvania, she has to tear her heart in two and give up on her theatrical dreams.
But as she navigates the visa gauntlet at the US embassy in England, she meets Will, a charismatic, erudite actor who encourages her to not give up on her dilapidated and much beloved theater. She is torn, tormented by the thought that her departure will certainly lead to Ashtead Theatre’s demise, but she follows her heart, says goodbye to her homeland, and begins her new role as Cole’s fiancée in America.
However, homesickness soon strikes. Enna longs for the English countryside, her theater, and the passion that Will has inspired in her. After her American dreams fall apart, she is reunited with all three back in the UK, and with Will's help, she soon finds her theater more successful than she ever thought possible. She has everything she's ever wanted, including a gorgeous man in her bed to share it with, so why is it she can't stop thinking about Cole?
About the Author
Eleanor Gwyn-Jones lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
but originally hails from Surrey, England.
Huzzah! She studied biology at
Southampton University before taking to the stage as an actress, agent and
administrator of a touring theatre company.
She performed in theatres, studios, schools and festivals across the
British Isles before moving to the States.
It was whilst visa-dangling and unable to take on acting work that she
started to write and decided she far preferred it to anything else in the
world! In 2008, Eleanor started her own
‘at home’ business to afford her more time to be with her ‘book babies.’ Now she spends her time writing by day and
teaching ladies to look fabulous at night.
She is a travel junkie—it’s research, darling, research!—a gourmand, a
yogi, a sometime blogger and she adores her family and friends beyond all
measure. She is currently putting the
finishing key strokes to the sequel to Theatricks,
due for release in 2014.
If she weren’t writing, she’d like to
think you’d find her in Downton, The Paradise, or having a goblet of wine with
Tyrion in King’s Landing.

Review:
Wow, that was a whirlwind of a story. I hated the ending. What a cliff hanger. I wanted more, I needed more. I can not wait to see how this story ends. Possibly one of the worst cliff hangers I have seen in awhile.
I think the story is incredibly relatable and easy to identify with. I think that most readers will be completely wrapped up in this story. The characters are well written and the overall plot is easy to identify with if you have ever experienced indecision or heart break.
For me the characters really brought the story to life. It was fun reading about the theater life. I also like that this story isn't the typical love story. Call me morbid, but I liked that this wasn't your happily ever after. It is a different kind of romance and one I enjoyed reading. A nice change of pace.
