NEW RELEASE
From Essex To Chelsea With Love - Millie Conway (2012)
If you were wondering what would happen if the cast of The Only Way is Essex hung out with the Made for Chelsea peeps, read on. Talli is a reluctant event planner in her mother's up-market business - she'd really prefer to be doing something connected to fitness. But after ruining a client's wedding, she gets lumbered with arranging her brother's Christmas wedding while her mother recuperates from cosmetic surgery. Meanwhile in Essex, the cast of Lovin' Essex are up to their usual tricks of feting publicity. Personal trainer Zac is not on the show but his high-maintenance girlfriend Kiki and sisters are. When the wedding brings Talli into Zac's orbit, they can't help their attraction to one another. Add in some secrets, a stalker and a wacky aunt and it all adds up to a fun, light-hearted story perfect for the reality TV lover.
Millie Conway's debut novel, From Essex to Chelsea With Love, is clearly aimed at fans of the TV shows Made in Chelsea and The Only Way is Essex. The synopsis says: "Chelsea events planner Talli Jones is in a fix. Her brother Persimmon and his fiancee Edwina want her to deliver the Wedding of the Year. Their dream venue, Highdrow Castle, has had a last-minute cancellation. But it's in eight weeks time. With 500 guests. And doves... Personal trainer Matt Parker needs some fast cash. But he can't reveal why, even to his girlfriend, glamorous reality TV star Ellie. If he can get wealthy client Edwina into shape for her Big Day, he'll get a hefty bonus. All he needs is for that uptight wedding planner to stop getting in his way. As Matt and Talli battle to work miracles, the heat between them unexpectedly starts to rise. But when friends and family get involved and the fireworks begin, it's clear that it's a long, long way between Brentwood and Belgravia..." From Essex to Chelsea With Love is out in November.
