Set Me Free by Jennifer Collin is Chick Lit's best kept secret, quietly riding a wave of success.  Readers in the UK are buying it up by the thousands, landing it in Amazon's Top 25 Bestsellers for Women's Fiction.  Backed up by steady sales in the US, this quirky romantic comedy won't stay a secret much longer.   

Set Me Free is the first book in the Evan's trilogy, based on siblings Charlotte, Emily and Andy Evans.  Book One is a David v Goliath story, with Charlotte, a small time art gallery owner taking on Craig Carmichael, the property developer who wants to knock her gallery down.  Community-minded Charlotte is not just fighting for her gallery, she's fighting for her best friend's café, her sister's artistic career, and her entire anti-development neighbourhood. 

Faced with the prospect of losing the battle, and losing everything, Charlotte is forced to consider what it is she really wants.  Though used to putting everyone else first, she's not sure she has the courage to take it.       

Book Two of the trilogy, Open My Eyes, is Emily's story, and it's due for release in early 2014.

Charlotte turned around to see Craig enter the room with another, older man.  As he swept into the room, there was a very audible and very feminine gasp.  Well, maybe that was just her.  Why did he have to be so good-looking?  Tonight he was wearing a snug-fitting pair of denim jeans and a vintage press-stud, checked shirt.  Glancing at his feet, she noticed a pair of black RM Williams boots completed the look.  Cleverly casual for this kind of crowd but thanks to his physique, he still looked commanding.  This was going to be harder than she thought. 
Her mind wandered of its own accord, and she almost stumbled toward him under the spell of his magnetic pull.  To recover, she averted her gaze and took in his companion, who was much less alluring and far surlier.  She knew from her googling that this was his father’s partner and consequently now his boss.  The Morgan of the operation.   He looked like a ball-breaker.  On screen and in real life.
Thankful that Craig had not seen her yet, Charlotte scanned the room and caught Emily do a double take.  She may be happily married, but Emily always noticed an attractive specimen of the male persuasion.  Catching Charlotte’s eye, she mouthed ‘Wow!’, and came racing across the room.
‘Cripes, Charlotte, you have to go up against him?’ she whispered in awe.
If you only knew, Charlotte thought.  ‘So where did you say your husband was tonight?’ she asked.
Emily simply grinned at her.  ‘He’s working late again,’ she answered.  ‘Are you sure you can handle this guy?’
‘I can handle it,’ Charlotte said, and herded Emily to a seat in the third row, beckoning to Ben to follow.  Could she handle it?  Beneath the simmering fury was a fine layer of hurt.  Craig had given her no cause to be suspicious the other night.  To think that he had been merely playing her all along made her doubt herself.  Surely she should have picked up on his insincerity.  Was he really that good of a player?  Studying him now, taking his place beside his boss, all evidence pointed to yes.
