Imagine for a moment, your husband leaves you. Then through a bizarre twist of events, you find yourself working with the girl he’s left you for – and even worse, she’s pregnant…
Louisa’s not really up to any more complicated relationships. Right now, she doesn’t need them. She has good friends. Okay, so one has a screwed-up husband and the other a very strange horoscope habit. Not to mention her ex-husband’s new girlfriend, who Louisa has somehow found herself giving relationship counselling to. She doesn’t need anyone else with problems in her life right now.
It would be nice, wouldn’t it? To find a straightforward man, who isn’t remotely messed up. Now there’s a thought… But does such a man even exist?
She thinks not. But, she resolves, a life of helping other people find their happy-ever-afters is still something. But then handsome vet Marcus walks into her life. And everything changes…
Set in the Hampshire countryside against a background of horses and vets, this is a story about friendship and love, and life’s way of throwing in the unexpected…

The Impossible Search for the Perfect Man Review:
What caught my attention in this story was how the author skillfully crafted the characters’ journeys. Although the book primarily revolves around Louisa and Marcus, the author seamlessly weaves in other characters like Karina, Will, Leonie, and Pete, immersing you in their unique stories. The bond between Karina and Louisa, which seemed unlikely given their circumstances, was a particular highlight for me. Additionally, the intrigue surrounding Leonie and Pete’s storyline kept me engaged, and Agnes and Beamus were personal favorites of mine!
Louisa’s character development was something I found quite appealing. Her reflection on her new life, where she realizes the value of her incredible friends, resonated with me. It was heartwarming to see her come to terms with the significant changes in her life since leaving her old home, even if it was a bit unwelcome initially.
The budding romance between Louisa and Marcus was a sweet and endearing aspect of the story. Marcus initially got on Louisa’s nerves with occasional missteps, and I, like her, didn’t immediately see them as a couple. However, I appreciated how the author gradually unfolded their relationship.
Moreover, including the equestrian theme, Louisa’s affection for Horace and Wurzel, and the genuine love all the characters had for their animals added an extra layer of charm to the narrative.
In conclusion, “The Impossible Search for the Perfect Man” is a heartwarming tale that will make you fall in love with Louisa and her journey.
