New Book Review ~ The Second Time I Saw You by Pippa Croft


Available from Amazon US and Amazon UK

Quite a diversion from my usual reading, The Second Time I Saw You is an intimate ‘insider’s view’ of life at the fictional Wyckham College, Oxford. Complete with dodgy Dons and athletic rowers,  this second book in Pippa Croft's Oxford Blue romance series is everything you would expect.

The most interesting character is the enigmatic ex public school aristocrat Alexander Hunt, who manages to show he does, after all, have a sensitive side. Pippa’s storytelling skill made it a fast read – and I didn’t spot the surprise ending!  Now I’ll have to read the next novel in the series, Third Time Lucky, which is available to pre-order from Penguin.
