Jilly Cooper is a true fan favourite:

'Entertaining, witty and a total escape!'
'Unputdownable and addictive as always'
'Rupert is back. Still gorgeous. Still naughty. Still wondrous'
'A delightfully indulgent read . . . twists in the plot and, as always, a charming ending'

Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns!

Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated race-horse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club - a sport Rupert knows nothing about - so she can return to Rutshire with her football star husband.

Rupert's first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. But swayed by Bianca and Taggie, soon Rupert has signed the deal. As Searston's new owner, he won't stand for anything less than victory in the Premier League, despite the odds being stacked against him. With help from the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, Rupert sets out to mastermind Searston's rise to the top, starting with taking charge of the players - much to the fury of Searston's manager.

The rival football club and their corrupt dealings aren't going to make it easy for him either - and they have a history of foul play. Let the sabotage and scandal begin...


Praise for Jilly Cooper:
'Fun, sexy and unputdownable - a classic' Marian Keyes

'Flawlessly entertaining' Helen Fielding
'Jilly Cooper is the very best . . . elegant, glamorous, wonderful fun' Daily Mail
'Joyful and mischievous' Jojo Moyes

Reviews

It's pure escapism - the perfect antidote to the real world, full of warmth, wit and Rupert Campbell-Black A giddy, sexy, exuberant romp of a story...a total tonic, offering the sort of glorious escapism we're all desperately in need of Bursting with fun, puns, and shenanigans Jilly is back on fine form bringing the world of football to brilliant life. A read that was fleet of foot and contained plenty of last minute surprises ... I loved it I felt my mood perceptibly improve over the few days of reading ... The only problem with Tackle! is that you have to ration yourself or you'll gobble it up in one go A jolly jolt of Jilly on a cold autumn day If you loved Riders, and binge-watched Ted Lasso, then this is your dream novel. Pitch perfect and utterly swoon-worthy. Jilly is a genius A fabulous feast of fun, frolics and football A breathless plot that [...] sizzles with all the scandal, scheming and saucy shenanigans a reader could hope for Won't disappoint her many fans: bonking, balls and Campbell-Black.
