Visiting the village of Twink’s Bottom was so much fun. I haven’t enjoyed an eccentric array of characters since watching The Vicar of Dibley. Would Rory be Geraldine and Tracy The Handsome Stranger? Maybe? I just know that I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this story.Tracy Richards, the misunderstood genius of Little Spankington’s needs a place to live. While at the estate agents office he notices a place that could possibly suit him properly.“What about that one?”“Which one?”“The one that say’s Twink’s Bottom, Tiny Cottage, with no price next to it.”“Not for you, mate.”I think we should let Tracy decide what’s for him and what’s not, mmmkay? So…Tracy moves to Twink’s Bottom, to Tiny Cottage and takes the accompanied position as village caretaker. From the chance meeting with the stunning man with the 70’s porn ‘stache and the soft brown eyes to the first town meeting I was laughing so much I had to stop reading in bed because I kept waking the sleeping husband up. Yeah, the book is THAT funny. But... along with the funny, I love and adore the way the romance was weaved into it. Tracy and his back stories were touchingly humorous, how can you not laugh at The Wank Olympics but with it you get the emotional connection that I need; the connection and the depth of character that drives a story and makes you keep reading."If I had just one wish in life, it would be to know how it feels to be able to create something just as beautiful. To be able to stand back and think, “I did that.”When Rory officially comes into the picture, this hopeless romantic was done for. I love a character with flaws and Rory and his adoring flaw had me swooning even when there would not be a swoonable line to be read. It was just Wor-wee and his ways that melted me. Add Tracy to that mix and these two had me laughing and then swooning so damn hard I feel out of my chair. Literally? You would have to check the possible bruises to know but it doesn’t matter. What matters is this was a fun, sexy, ridiculous, heartwarming, chock-full of double entendres and a wonderful story about finding yourself. About being yourself even amongst erotic topiary and settling into the life you were meant to have; even if you never imagined it to be…with The Lord of Twink’s Bottom."Tracy smiled to himself. He was perfect for Twink’s Bottom. And Twink’s Bottom was perfect for him."
