Mel and Chloe have been friends since forever, plotting to leave their humdrum lives in Dublin behind for the excitement of the Australian outback. Bright, ambitious Chloe is happy to take time out from her promising career. Mel, the eternal free spirit, just can’t wait to spread her wings. Then on a wet Saturday afternoon, attractive, dynamic Adam moves into the bed-sit above their Dublin flat, into their lives, and causes chaos.
Chloe has the chance to create a life beyond her wildest dreams, far removed from the humiliations of her past. Mel, convinced that true love is just an illusion, is only too happy to escape to Australia. By degrees, Chloe’s perfect plans start to unravel. But once everything looks okay on the outside, she asks herself does it really matter? And when Mel has an unexpected visitor who delves into the secret behind her carefree façade, she tells herself there’s no need to look into her heart. Or is there?
When Chloe’s perfect world falls apart, and the empty space inside Mel’s heart seems worse than ever, somehow the friends have to find the courage to follow their dreams and grab what they truly want from life and love.
Sexy, dark-haired Eve Andrews likes nothing better than to flit around Dublin, enticing admirers, then ruthlessly dumping them as soon as she gets bored. Her main ambition in life is to have a blast – that is, until she meets Alex Gallagher…
Daisy O’Neill is Eve’s cousin, as shy and retiring as Eve is upfront. So, when handsome Sam Heffernan suggests they get together, she can’t for the life of her work out why.
What neither cousin knows is that her destiny has been shaped by events in the past, and when love beckons at last, each will have to overcome the legacy of her childhood: Daisy finds that, no matter how far she runs, she can’t escape the sense of loss which shadows her. And Eve will learn the hard way that manipulating others isn’t necessarily the key to finding everlasting happiness. One thing for sure, both women are set on a shattering collision course, with altogether unexpected consequences.
Written with verve, pace and wit, Absolutely Love introduces a sparkling new Irish talent and is a glorious, pacy read from start to finish.
