Under the Bonnet

When your family fails its MOT, it's time to look Under the Bonnet...

Juliet wonders whether she can ever reignite the missing spark in her marriage to Andy in Under the Bonnet, Cathy Woodman's refreshing debut. Not to be missed by fans of Jo Thomas and Phillipa Ashley.

'Great fun' - Bookseller

With a struggling second-hand car dealership in South London, Juliet and Andy Wyevale don't have it easy. And it's not just the business that needs a jump-start - their marriage could do with an overhaul too. Andy's always too busy with work to help with the kids, and what's more, he's losing his hair and developing a paunch.

Although Juliet loves her husband dearly, she knows the passion leaked out of their marriage a while ago. So when Andy hires a new mechanic, who bears more than a passing resemblance to Antonio Banderas and who has 'a thing' for older women, the sparks begin to fly.

Will Juliet throw it all away for a man who looks great in an oily vest and tight jeans? Or will she realise that her family needs her now more than ever?
