I like the fact Faith is determined, kind and honest and I think (hope!) I share those qualities with her. There are some similarities between myself and Faith. What kind of person is Faith? What’s she like? He’s stunned and not at all pleased to arrive in the UK and discover his friend and business partner is dating Faith. Matt broke Faith’s heart about ten years ago when they were both at university. Matt has his reasons for needing to leave Austria and he insists Zane keeps quiet about what those reasons are as he doesn’t want anybody in the UK to find out. They worked together in Austria for years. Matt is Zane’s business partner and another extreme sports instructor. He’s got a lot of secrets and is a bit of a man of mystery. He’s one half of a partnership which has purchased the local extreme sports centre. She isn’t looking to get involved but then Zane arrives in town… Zane has just returned to the UK after working as an extreme sports instructor in Austria for several years. Matt is Faith’s first love and she hasn’t seen him for about ten years.įaith owns and runs The Coffee Pot in a village set in an area known for its extreme sports – from climbing and mountain biking to abseiling and white water rafting. The dynamics of these three is: Faith and Zane are dating. If You Only Knew has three main characters – Faith, Zane and Matt.


Tell us a little more about those characters. In the reviews for the book many people commented on how they thought the characters and their relationships come across in a very realistic way and I’m delighted people thought that about the book! I would say it could appeal to women who enjoy an escapist romantic read mixed with realism. You could call it chicklit, contemporary romance or a romantic drama with a hint of comedy – it fits all three categories! Matt just happens to be Faith’s first love.Īh, the classic three-way love story.

Zane and Faith are both just getting to know each other when Zane’s business partner Matt arrives from Austria and complicates everything. Faith is nervous about relationships anyway thanks to having her heart broken, add to this the fact Zane is strangely reluctant to talk about his past and naturally she’s a little unsure if she’s doing the right thing by getting involved or not. I’ve always been intrigued by the concept in books and films of the first love coming back and complicating life all over again! This happens to Faith in If You Only Knew – she risks getting involved with new-in-town Zane who has taken over the extreme sports centre in the village.
