He's the King of the Swingers. But she's the Ice Queen. When Dr Jennifer Niederhauser becomes head of the chimpanzee project at Prowdes Animal Sanctuary, the uptight young zoologist looks forward to making her mark in the conservation world. But the regime is ramshackle, the chimpanzees uncontrollable and her first meeting with head keeper Guy Gibson finds him naked and covered in baby oil. She decides never to work with animals or the childish again. But, she may not have a job for much longer anyway -- Prowdes is in big financial trouble. Salvation comes in the form of a TV documentary. Prowdes needs the money and exposure. But does Jennifer need to be exposed to the show's smooth presenter, chimpanzee expert Dr Timothy Lauder? The ultimate alpha male.

Review
'Nothing short of brilliant' Marie Claire on SEVEN SUNNY DAYS -- Marie Claire 'Very funny, hugely feel-good and the perfect antidote for anyone who worries that the only career ladder they've achieved is a run in their tights' Fiona Walker on LIZZIE JORDAN'S SECRET LIFE 'Manby has an eye for the intricacies of the female mind ... Her exploration of friends finding they just might not survive an enforced week away is nothing short of brilliant.' Marie Clare on SEVEN SUNNY DAYS 'The perfect antidote to the cold winter weather ... light hearted romp of sun, sea, sand and sex ... This merry novel should blow away the winter blues.' Hello on SEVEN SUNNY DAYS 'It's a great idea for a plot, and Manby's writing more than does it justice' Marie Clare on GETTING PERSONAL 'A funny first novel ... that's more realistic than FRIENDS, cleaner than THE YOUNG ONES and not as frightening as SHALLOW GRAVE' Daily Mail on FLATMATES 'A fast-track, fun romance full of monkey business' - Daily Mail on GIRL MEETS APE 'A deliciously comical novel that's peppered with characters who are so endearing you'll want to take them home and introduce them to your mum ... GIRL MEETS APE is charming, funny and compelling as your favourite soap ... it's a rip-roaring good read' HEAT on GIRL MEETS APE

1.0 out of 5 stars
Rubbish, waste of paper, can i please have my day back!!!!,
By
This review is from: Girl Meets Ape (Hardcover)
This is the worst contempory romance book i have read.
The beginning is promising with its opening scene, but from there on its all down hill. The male protagonist is a likeable character, but as it seems with all of Chris Manby's book the female are either weak, shallow or compleatly stupid!!!! It does not portray women in the best of lights, and the storyline plods on abysmally, you spend more time reading about the life of the monkies than the romance between the two central characters. Manby's lead female roles are a poor man's Bridget Jones, and her books seem to follow the same path and sadly the novelty is wearing a little thin. All i can say is don't waste your day reading this book, i wish i could get back my valuable time!!!!! I would suggest reading Aint she sweet by Susan Elizabeth Philips or Playing James by Sarah Mason.
