Thank you for joining me I have a fabulous Publication Day post for My Girlfriend's Perfect Ex-Boyfriend by Peter Jones. Today I'm sharing a character profile from the book. If you get chance check out the other blogs taking part as there is a different character profile on each blog.
First of all let's take a look at the description for the book...
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Publication
Date: 10th
October 2017
Adrian Turner,
Mountaineer, Secret Agent, Fireman… Ade would dearly like to be any of these
things, though he’d trade them all to win the heart of feisty Public Relations
Executive, Paige.
Instead, he’s a
disillusioned school teacher, on suspension, after an unfortunate incident with
a heavy piece of computer equipment. And somebody’s foot. And Paige? Despite being
his girlfriend for the past eighteen months, she still seems to have one foot
out of the door and hasn’t quite committed to leaving a toothbrush in the
bathroom.
Of course, it doesn’t
help that she’s working with her ex-boyfriend, Sebastian. A man who in almost
every way imaginable is better, taller, wealthier, hairier, and infinitely more
successful than Ade.
Is Paige still in
love with Sebastian? Why then did she suggest they get away for a few days?
Some place romantic…
But when Adrian finds
himself in Slovenia - with Sebastian in the room down the hall - he realises
there’s serious possibility that he’s in danger of losing his job, his mind,
and the woman he loves…
From best-selling
author Peter Jones comes this hilarious romp about love, and the things people
do to keep it from getting away.

Character Profile
Genie –
isn’t quite what I was expecting.
She’s nice, though. And every bit
‘the girl in the office’ – which is quite a feat as once you’ve got past the
nose and the mouth and the eyes and the hair, she’s clearly a woman in her
early fifties, although she seems completely oblivious of the fact. Instead she
kind of bobs around when she talks, which is a lot, and always at a hundred
miles an hour, pausing only to laugh and giggle at anything that might be
considered in any way amusing. And as she does so, her tinkly Yorkshire accent
sort of wriggles its way inside your ears and tickles your ear drums, and after
a while you become dimly aware that you haven’t actually been listening to a
single word she’s saying – but you’re smiling nonetheless. And all this derived
from a ten minute chat in the departure lounge.

Peter Jones started professional life as a particularly rubbish graphic designer, followed by a stint as a mediocre petrol pump attendant. After that he got embroiled in the murky world of credit card banking. Fun times.
Nowadays, Peter spends his days writing, or talking about writing. He’s written three novels; a Rom-Com (Romantic Comedy), A Crim-Com (Crime Comedy), and a Rom-Com-Ding-Dong (a sort-of Romantic-ish Comedy, with attitude). He’s currently working on his fourth novel, which - if it’s a musical - he’ll no doubt describe as a Rom-Com-Sing-Song. (Spoiler: It isn’t).
He is also the author of three and a half popular self-help books on the subjects of happiness, staying slim and dating. If you’re overweight, lonely, or unhappy – he’s your guy.
Peter doesn’t own a large departmental store and probably isn’t the same guy you’ve seen on the TV show Dragons’ Den.
