Publisher Description
'A delicious, witty story. I loved it! SOPHIE KINSELLA
Gentlemen! No Little Lady in Your Life? Call the Little Lady Agency: everything organised, from your home to your wardrobe, your social life to you. No funny business or laundry.
When Melissa is made unfairly redundant from her job at an estate agents' office, she decides it's time for a change.
Instead of working for other people, Melissa will go into business for herself: using her organisational skills to whip the lives of London's socially and romantically challenged men into shape.
But then Melissa meets Jonathan, and suddenly she must decide if she can mix business with pleasure . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When strait-laced Melissa Romney-Jones launches a company that offers practical services and advice to men needing some female perspective, it proves to be as liberating and life-changing for her as it does for her clients. Melissa’s initial awkwardness and naivety produce plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and help to make her a convincing and sympathetic lead character. We rooted for her all the way along this uplifting journey of self-discovery and romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sensible Melissa Romney-Jones proclaims to her enamored American client, Jonathan Riley, "I like to think I'm a vintage girl. A proper 1950s woman's woman," to which Riley responds: "A proper 1950s man's woman." Crackling with Brit chick wit, Browne's first novel stars a spunky whirlwind in search of love and money. Melissa, after losing her job as a London estate agent, starts the Little Lady Agency to attend to the social needs of single men. This requires Melissa to don a blonde wig and become Honey Blennerhesket, a posh "Mary Poppins in silk stockings." Running the new agency leads to the successful channeling of her inner glamour goddess and romance with Jonathan, but then she wonders, does he love Honey or Melissa? "Little lady" is a term that sounds as retro as Melissa's yearning for old-style romance, but her struggle to empower herself and deal with her feelings regarding the men in her life is as satisfying as free champagne. Browne's dead-on take revitalizes a genre already littered with worn-out Jimmy Choos and tattered miniskirts.
