About the Perfect Passion Company Series

The Perfect Passion Company series from the inimitable Alexander McCall Smith is an absolutely heartwarming collection of stories about the ups and downs of love and life, centred round a really lovely little dating office tucked away down a quiet Edinburgh side street at No. 24 Mouse Lane. Along the way Katie Donald finds herself at the helm of the Perfect Passion Dating Company after her cousin Ness packs her bags and heads out to Canada for a stint. Katie isn’t at all convinced she’s got what it takes to run the show on her own at first, feeling a bit out of her depth – but as it turns out she’s a natural. What makes Katie such a refreshing change from all the swiping and apps is that she genuinely cares about people and is dead set on helping them find what they’re really looking for. She’s got no taste for cyber romance, preferring instead to sit down and have real conversations, listen properly and focus on the small habits that really do make the difference when it comes to building a proper relationship. With a bit of help from her friendly neighbour William Kidd, Katie encounters a cast of truly lovable and slightly eccentric clients – a retired pilot who just wants to put his feet up and enjoy a quiet life at home for one, and a hotel owner who’s after love but isn’t necessarily looking for a long term commitment – the usual mix of the joys and pitfalls of life really. As Katie is trying to sort out her clients and understand what makes them tick, she starts to work on her own puzzle about who she is, the things that are most important to her, what she desires the most, and what the future holds. For those readers who enjoy a slow-burn romance, a lovable cast of characters, and truly heartfelt stories, these books are the epitome of soothing, heartwarming, and understatedly emotional. Against the everyday splendor of Scotland, the books in The Perfect Passion Company serve to remind us that love is always around, but sometimes love needs a small nudge in the right direction to get started.
