Fling is a lightning-fast romcom full of comic capers, heartfelt moments and completely loveable characters. It's hilarious and original, with a genius concept that is begging for the big screen. One of the best books I've read this year. -- Laura Price, author of <i>Single Bald Female</i> Wow. Just wow. The freshest, sexiest, funniest and most poignant book I've read in a very long time. I mean that so sincerely. From page one, I was rooting for both Tara and Colin. I defy any reader not to want to stand and cheer at the end. -- Claudia Carroll, bestselling author of <i>The Matchmaker</i> and <i>One Night Only</i> Fabulous!
