REVIEWS "Brilliant. Fabulous. Funny. Fast-paced. Heartwarming. I cried. I laughed. That's what you want from a book." -EMILY BENET, author of The Hen Party "Enjoyable Women's Fiction - Not strictly speaking romance but enjoyable none the less, a travel diary of a woman on a quest for romance in Argentina. Perfect summer reading!" - Amazon Review "A bit of a travel story with some romance and polo insight - fun read. Kind of smart chick lit, light hearted and humorous but tackling serious issues like being 40 and single, being 40 and dating a younger man, having a jet setter lifestyle that makes it difficult to create bonds, being a woman and being into a man's sport, being away from your family, in hospital and trying not to scare them, etc. Being single in Buenos Aires is a bit like walking into the lions cage, scary and attractive at the same time. Argentinian men are hot and courteous, but can you trust them? Argentinian women seem to agree that you can't. While you follow Roxy in this jungle of temptations you will find out a few things about this exciting sport called polo and about Buenos Aires culture. Argentinians are Italians who speak Spanish, think in French and want to be English said the Buenos Aires famous writer Borges. Interesting to discover, isn't it? I'm looking forward to the following parts of the Polo Diaries trilogy." - Amazon Review "New to me author and lovely story. I like sports romance but this one is more woman fiction than romance. Told like a diary entries, the story is about the struggles of a woman at a certain age in her life when she's still single and works in a man's world. It was an interesting read, the descriptions were nice and the Spanish words inserted were a bonus added to the story. I will recommend this book to my friends for a quick and easy summer read." - Amazon Review "This is a new author to me. The story was very interesting as I like stories with older characters. We get to follow Roxy while she is in Buenos Aires. It's an easy enough read that kept my interest. I don't know anything about Polo but this was fun to learn a few things about. I'll follow this series to see what is going to happen next!" - Amazon Review "I had no idea polo and Argentina were of any interest to me, but this book made me want to know more. It's a true X-ray of Roxy's Argentinian adventure, written as a journal, and it stands out in terms of authenticity and flavor. The cultural diversity is beautifully depicted." - Amazon Review
