Rosalie Heart is a well-known face in Irlwick – well, if you drive a bright pink taxi and your signature style is a pink anorak, you’re going to draw a bit of attention! But Rosalie’s company Love Taxis is more than just a gimmick – for many people in the remote Scottish village, it’s a lifeline.
Which is something that Marc Petersen will never understand. Marc’s ruthless approach to business doesn’t extend to pink taxi companies running at a loss. When he arrives in Irlwick to see to a new acquisition – Raventhorn, a rundown castle – it’s apparent he poses a threat to Rosalie’s entire existence; not just her business, but her childhood home too.
On the face of it Marc and Rosalie should loathe each other, but what they didn’t count on was somebody playing cupid …
Review
Little Pink Taxi may be portrayed as a romance novel, but it is so much more than that, this book is fantastic. It has something for everyone, yes there’s the romance between Rosalie and Marc, but there’s family history entwined with Gaelic culture, there’s ghostly goings on and a hit and run accident with links to the Russian mafia! It’s a book which will have you hooked from the very start with its fabulous story-telling and leave you a little sad when you’ve finished it.
Rosalie Hart is a young woman who literally has a heart of gold, she’s running her taxi business not for profit but mainly as a service to the community or Irlwick, many of whom rely on Rosalie and bright pink taxi. When she meets Marc Peterson at the airport and learns he’s bought her home Raventhorn from eccentric old Geoff and in turn inherited Rosalie’s taxi business she’s not too happy. But try as she might she just can’t help but like him, especially when he keeps coming to her rescue as things start to go wrong for Rosalie.
I loved how we were given the full back story of Marc and Rosalie’s childhoods and relationships with their parents. This really added to the story and gave the characters a real depth and realism which is sometimes missing in romance novels. Not that Little Pink Taxi can be classed as just a romance novel as I felt there was mystery woven throughout the story and towards the end it was very thriller like and a little unnerving.
I adored this book and can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a really good all-round contemporary read.
Thank you to Choc Lit and Netgalley for sending me a copy to read and Rachel’s Random Resources for organising this blog tour.
