About this listen

Solo is a delightful romantic novel from best-selling author Jill Mansell, not to be missed by readers of Lucy Diamond and Cathy Kelly.

Mad about a man who's dangerous to know? Surely it's better to go solo....

When Tessa Duvall, a struggling artist, reluctantly agreed to accompany her best friend, Holly, to a party at the elegant Charrington Grange Hotel, she had every intention of sneaking off early. For parties full of strangers bored the knickers off Tessa, and this one proved to be no exception - until she encountered Ross Monahan, whose wicked reputation was as high profile as the hotel he owned and ran with such panache.

But while Holly set about ensnaring his reluctant brother, Max, Tessa simply accepted Ross for what he was - a sensational one-night stand...until she realised, weeks later, that one-night stands can have far-reaching consequences....

This was a good feel good story but was long. there are several places in the plot it could have ended; after birth of Olivia or at the Art exhibition but it felt like the author was in love with her characters a little too much.

I struggled with the characters of Holly and Max. It was so disempowering and had a "boys will be boys" narrative about it. As a result the plot felt dated.

As for the main characters, the back and forth was exhausting.

finally, some of the accents were not great...


light read , don't regret finishing it

too long and the polt has not aged well

I really enjoyed the story and the narrator was excellent - so many different accents. I will certainly listen again to books written by Jill Mansel and narratored by Penelope Freeman.

Relax and enjoy

It was ok not mind blowing tbh I don’t think I’d recommend it particularly if someone asked for a good listen
