Taking the Plunge

A Tragicomic NZ Love Story

About

Sometimes all you need is a leap of faith...

When her husband Lawrence’s recent infidelities are exposed, Kate Hensley does what any sensible woman would; she kicks him out of the house and pursues a younger man. Could her snowboarding instructor, Evan Randall — blue-eyed, blonde, and gorgeous — be the solution to her problems?

If only love lust were that simple.

Kate’s keen to move on fast, but in the small alpine town of Cromwell, Central Otago, nothing moves faster than gossip. While Kate, her two-year-old son Corbin, and her new best friend Tracy approve of Evan, it seems nobody else does. Not her meddling mother, not her ex-best friend Suzanne, not her low-down, dirty, cheating husband, and, worst of all, perhaps not even Evan himself. With the resistance to her amorous adventure mounting, Kate must decide whether the price of being true to herself is one she’s prepared to pay...

A scintillating story of secrets, sex, and snowboarding, Taking the Plunge is the debut novel from J.B. Reynolds.
