Single, thritysomething Thea traded her promising career as a photographer for the quiet countryside of the English Cotswalds. But when she meets a promising, sexy Irish painter while vacationing in Provence, her creative spirit is unexpectedly reawakened. Impressed by Rory's charm, but even more taken by his talent, Thea is determined to showcase his paintings for the art world. Resisting his sex appeal, convincing him to forgo the London art scene, and transforming an abandoned building into a cutting-edge gallery in the less-than-hip countryside all give Thea more of a challenge than she bargained for. Add to the mix a group of old friends, some reluctant teens, a passel of puppies, and a new romantic prospect or two, and Katie Fforde's latest novel delivers art, friendship, love, sex, and delicious new beginnings.
Got a book of hers at the library and realized I wanted every book she has ever written. Came here and found them. She is an amazing writer and should be read by everyone.
Brit Chic Lit is fun.

A pleasant read but I'm not sure why Katie Fforde writes so often about women who are frazzled from juggling too many responsibilities. They are always tired. Still, I enjoyed reading "Artistic License", though not as much as "Second Thyme Around".
