An uplifting and heartwarming romantic read from RNA Award Winning Maxine Morrey.Lizzie Rose knows what she likes and likes what she knows.
Her role at the London Museum is more than a job, it’s her safe place and her passion. So when Lizzie is passed over for a chance in a lifetime opportunity in favour of her ex-boyfriend and fellow Egypt nerd Friedrich Klein, her heartbreak over their relationship pales into insignificance compared to her sadness at losing the project.
Best friend Colette thinks an evening of cocktails is just the medicine for a broken heart, and meeting dashing, charming, but very much ‘not her type’ Finn Bryson at the bar puts a smile on Lizzie’s face too. But Lizzie isn’t used to spending time outside of her comfortable world of academia and doesn’t believe in mixing business with pleasure. So when Finn’s job brings him to the museum, she’s determined to put an end to any notion of romance between them.
But what if Lizzie’s comfort zone isn’t that comfortable any more? Is it time for Lizzie to take the chance on love that fate keeps bringing her way – even if it means changing the habits of a lifetime?
‘Read yourself happy’ with Maxine Morrey’s latest feel-good, unforgettable and utterly uplifting love story, guaranteed to make you smile. Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Kinsella.

Just Do it, is a well written story about a young professional British Egyptologist, Elizabeth, who learns she has been passed over as the lead of a large and important Egyptian dig. Rather her former colleague and former fiancé, Frederick, has used her connections to ensure that he is chosen to be in charge. Upon learning of this crushing disappointment, Elizabeth enjoys a night out in London with her close friend Colette, where they happen to meet two handsome men and have a great evening of fun and out of character first night sex, something not at all typical of Elizabeth. What follows is an amusing and sweet love story of both Elizabeth and Finn and Colette and Greg. Different cultures and values clash. Elizabeth was raised by two academics and has thrived in this world up until now. She only now begins to see what she might have missed in mainstream culture and enjoying festive holidays like Christmas. Her professional accomplishments have always been first in her life. Her new love interest, Finn, comes from a very different background, but has a warm and loving family. We also learn the true character of Frederick, and how he bullied and overshadowed Elizabeth. As in many new relationships, miscommunications occur. Elizabeth learns a lot about herself and what happens when opportunities are missed. Itâs a sweet and funny love story with very believable dialogue and characters.
Maxine Morrey brings characters to life, within a couple of chapters you feel as if you have known them for ever.Lovely story, great for the beach or curled up on the couch.
It has the arc most romance novel does: They meet, they spend a drunken night together *okay, perhaps that is something different), he ends ip working together. He is perfect. Tall, gorgeous, string, sweet, understanding–though he doesn’t quite understand why she left without a word thar first morning.He turns out to be perfect: gorgeous, kind, self-effacing , great at his job, and head over heels adoring of Lizzy, whom he calls Elizabeth.As the Bard says, “The course of true love never did run smooth.” Yet it is for Lizzy and Finn. His family adores her. Her parents adore him. Their best friends are in love. We are 3/4 of the way through the book, maybe 2/3 and all is well.Then they have a fight over a flipping restaurant? And he leaves her, quits his job and jets off to Dubai? For real?The character are good, if a bit one dimensional and too good The plot and love story with an Egyptian archeological dig and a background, sort if thought to be true.
