Tillie Anton decides to write a journal of her life experiences, and all that she has learnt from them; the book starts and ends, (some twenty years later), with her opening her secret journal and reflecting on her life's journey and the lessons that it has taught her.

Her journey begins when thirty-something Tillie discovers her husband having an affair and her world falls apart, - but not for long. Working as a part-time waitress she meets and falls hopelessly in love with the restaurant owners' son, Robbie Hardcastle. Robbie is five years younger than Tillie, single, handsome, but unable to commit, both are totally besotted with each other. They embark on a passionate and highly intimate affair, not knowing if the age gap will impact on either on them as they get older.

Tillie's career as a Management Executive takes off but their relationship is soon put to the test when Tillie becomes pregnant. Robbie is unsure if he wants children, claiming that he is happy to share Tillie's two daughters. The decision as to whether to keep the baby is agonizing - a decision that haunts them both for the rest of their lives.

When Tillie's half sisters are arrested on suspicion of murdering her mother she finally realizes that life is too short and her priorities change. The experience is both raw and real, and leaves her trusting no one, apart from Robbie and her work colleague Heather. The murder investigation lasts nearly a year and when the results of the inquest and the decision of The Crown Prosecution Service are finally known it rips the family apart.

Now forty plus and a successful businesswoman in her own right Tillie gets distracted by the charming and dapper Henry Chapel, a high-flying business mogul. Henry arrives with a string of affairs under his belt and some unusual and devious friends within 'The Tremeyne Trust'. Henry chases Tillie hard and Robbie bites back. She realises that one of them is her destiny, her one true "Soulmate", but which one is it?

The discovery of some pornographic photographs is too much for Tillie to comprehend. This almost unbelievable discovery and the ramifications it brings her, to her life and career, forces Tillie to make a life changing decision. A decision that will leave her past behind her, but will it be possible for her to take her one true "Soulmate" with her?

At the end of the story Tillie has done what she needed to do. To read her journal reliving her life and the lessons that it has taught her. Numerous life lessons from false flattery, betrayal, injustice and deceit. Life’s lessons, of spiritual awareness, and the hardest lesson of all, the lesson of love. These lessons had taken her so long to learn; as her journal reveals, a lifetime in fact. She now believes that Plato was indeed right in that each person is only assigned one true love, one Soulmate. Did Tillie manage to find hers?

The Book 'Soulmate' by Trisha Proud

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

I found this book quite interesting and intriguing from the beginning to the end. I couldn't put it down so to speak.
The storyline was in depth and made me want to get to the end (not cheating tho)so that I could find out how Tillie's life panned out.
There are twists and turns in this story which kept me reading.
There were lessons she learned good and bad along the way. There was sadness and happiness and I could relate to some of Tillie's life.
Even tho it was in the category of a saucy romance novel I believe it was good reading from in the fiction category as well.
An enjoyable book.

Lessons to Learn

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2012

Life changing decisions are something that sooner or later come to most of us. We find ourselves thrown from the path we felt was certain and have to leave what we know in the past taking only the lessons from those experiences forward with us. In this book the author skilfully takes us on this journey through her heroine Tillie Anton. We experience Tillie's journal in which she lets us know what she learnt from life's lessons in false flattery, betrayal, injustice, deceit and love.
Although clearly there is a romantic (and dare I say it saucy) element to this book - this is NOT regular chick-lit. Rather than a straight forward narrative each chapter focuses on a life lesson. However, once you adjust to the writers unique style, you rather look forward to finding out 'what Tillie learnt next'.
I can only say that you should not read this book if you live in a happy bubble where nothing unjust, unfair or just plain unexpected ever happens. If you live in that bubble then the book will not ring true to you.
However for the rest of us... Soulmate by Trisha Proud is like a comforting voice that says "Hey... you are not alone in this". Which is kind of what a true soulmate is.

SOULMATE

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2012

What a truly delightful read, such a heart the Author has! I loved the book; it was intriguing, well thought out plot that carried you along effortlessly.

I really enjoyed this summer read and would thoroughly recommend both the book and the author, especially liked the well written "naughty bits" too. In my humble opinion, an altogether better read than the best seller Fifty Shades of Grey, which is not to my taste at all. I look forward to another book by this fabulously talented author Trisha Proud.

Now, I look forward to seeing this fabulous book on screen as a block buster movie, there has to be a Film Script Writer out there who is going to pick this up???? I do hope so

Soulmate - a great chick-lit read!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013

I read this shortly after it came out following a recommendation - great fun living through the trials and tribulations of life and love, and all they bring with the central character, with a couple of raunchy bits along the way to spice it up! With summer coming up an easy pick-up book for the beach!

Fantastic ✭✭✭✭✭

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2013

I absolutely loved this book from the beginning to the end! I really felt I knew the characters and was drawn into every articulate twist and turn of Tillie's story. Soulmate was heart warming but stayed very true to life (with occasional racy moments!!) This book came everywhere with me. Definitely a one for the girls! I literally couldn't put down!
I can't wait to see more from Trisha - Fantastic!!!

A great holiday read!

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2012

Does exactly what it says on the tin!
I downloaded Soulmate for a light holiday read last summer - and it did not disappoint. Being a judgemental kind of person I did at times want to shake Tillie the down trodden main character and tell her to get a grip of her life. She did seem to drift along, but me feeling like that just proves how well the author did to make this character so real that I actually wanted to shake her! Saucier in parts than I had expected, it was well written and believable. Well worth a read if you are in the market for a light and saucy read.

A very enjoyable holiday read, a different ending to that expected. I pondered if this was therapeutic exercise for the author? RJR

A fun read

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2012

I really enjoyed this book and have recommended it to many of my girlfriends since who have said the same. It's easy to read, touching and I was able to really relate to the protagonist, Tillie. There are lots of twists and turns making it a real page turner. If you like 'Fifty Shades of Grey' you will no doubt enjoy this. I will look out for more novels by Trisha Proud.

I absolutely loved this book - it was a really great read and kept me going for a while with the story lines and the intrigue as to how Tillie's life would turn out. I enjoy a long read but don't always get to read a book in one shot and this book was perfect for this as I could pick it up really easily from where I left off and not be too confused. Good bit of sauciness in there to keep the imagination going (!!) Loved it from beginning to end with believable characters and story lines. Very well written.

The Perfect Holiday Indulgence

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I loved reading Soulmate, as I curled up very contently on my sun bed; it was the perfect holiday indulgence. As the life and times of Tillie were gently revealed, I couldn't help but reminisce over my own experiences of love and of loss, which simply warmed my heart. I know that I am blessed, my husband is my true soulmate but this lovely and very endearing book, reminded me of that all over again.

I am so pleased to have read this book and have so much praise for Trisha and her achievements. This book is sweet, touching, loving and very much attuned to a girls fragile heart. It has been written with such tenderness and a real love for life and for people.

A real 'page turner'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

A real 'page turner' and something of a rollercoaster as you follow Tillie's experiences as she searches for her true soulmate. I think many people will identify with some of the situations and challenges that Tillie has to overcome, but some surprises too. An excellent holiday read with a good smattering of sexy scenes. A great first novel, I'm looking forward to more from Trisha Proud.

Dreadful

Please don't waste your time and money, really appallingly written. Very weak story line. Supposedly written in the first person but it just ends up sounding like a child speaking. "Tillie wondered what to wear, Tillie chose the red dress, Tillie asked XX what they thought of the red dress..." aargh. However, this happened slightly less in the second half of the book. I can only assume those who rated it 5 stars were friends of the author. If you are the sort of person who thinks it can't be that bad so I'll get it anyway - you have been warned it is that bad.

Not for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

I have tried, and failed, to write a novel in the past and I know how difficult it is. You have to develop and make the characters believeable, the story has to move along and it isn't as easy as everyone thinks it is going to be. So I applaud Tricia for attempting this. On the face of it this novel has all the required elements for a good read, unrequited love, family dynamics, a possible 'murder' but for me it sadly fell short . I stuck with it and read it to the end but found that it dragged. Where was the excitement, the passion (and I don't mean sex) and the dashing hero? It was like reading about the boring, humdrum sections of my own life and I don't want that from a book - I've lived it once and certainly don't need to read about it. I also feel that the contract catering world just doesn't have enough excitement to base a book on. I found the narrative didn't flow well in places and the introduction of step sisters and a poor relationship with a parent that suddenly popped up three quarters of the way through the book without being set up before hand seemed odd. The best part of the book in terms of really getting into the character of Tillie were the last half dozen chapters and if Tricia could just have done that earlier in the book it would have improved it for me. In the kindle edition there were too many spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that I found really annoying I hope the paperback version was better proofread. Having said all of that this is a first novel so I hope that Tricia keeps going - this one isn't a '50 shades' but the next one might be,
