Be careful of what first impressions you may be making on those you meet…you never know when you’ll be making new relationships and you wouldn’t want to be thought of as brash or rude forevermore, would you? Neil Whittaker could have saved himself a good deal of trouble had he only been a gentleman in a small, specialized food market, and Anna Lisa would have seen him for what he truly is right from the start. But then there wouldn’t have been much to start the story on! Homa Pourasgari’s delightful novel, “Lemon Curd” offers lessons to learn, enjoyment of the story, and an enticement for a savory toast topper. Anna Lisa is an account executive with a prestigious marketing firm. She’s used to working alone, at all hours, and getting the job done. So she is quite surprised when her boss Simon calls in help from across the pond on a large account she’s been working on. Neil Whittaker is to be her partner for the next eight months, sharing her office and her account. The firm is working on a campaign that will focus on expanding both the London and American market, and first impressions gone sour or no, the two of them will work together. Eventually, their friendship blossoms, the account is doing well, but Neil’s and Anna Lisa’s other relationships suffer immensely. Will the two of them be successful in work and play? What about Neil’s fiancé, his parents back home, and Anna Lisa’s mistrust of love?
This is a work of romance but it is also a study in all relationships, our roles in the workplace, and our goals in today’s hectic lifestyles. The plot is well thought out, the characters multileveled and quite realistic. An interesting and easy going read, “Lemon Curd” offers strong female roles as well as positive male ones. Whichever side readers’ root for, the book is appealing and well written.
