Eco Romance Series
by Debbie Bourne
High Heels & Tight Briefs (Book 3)
When our beloved Good Life candidate, Nat, wins a surprise victory in the London Borough of Camden’s local council elections, little does she know what she’s let herself in for, as Councilor Nat becomes embroiled in a nefarious, top-secret, Chinese plot to infiltrate local British government hierarchy. And little does she realize that “C.H.I.Ps” (chunky, skinny, or triple fried) does NOT refer to Nat’s fave snack, but the infamous CHINESE INTELLIGENCE PROTECTION SERVICE!
Join our beloved duo—Councilor Nat, Deb—the High-Heeled Gardener—and the climate ‘worrier’ team in the third Eco Romance series adventure. Welcome aboard another rollercoaster year of hilarious community antics, eco-escapes and escapades—not to mention tight briefs of a political nature—certainly not what’s lurking beneath dishy council leader Danny Buckle’s tight trousers!
The High-Heeled Eco-Worrier (Book 2)
And is the local vicar, gorgeous Guy, really as gorgeous as he seems?
Join the follow-up exploits of unlikely best friends and even more unlikely, Eco-Worriers, Deb and Nat, on their latest laugh-out-loud adventures. Jump aboard their rollercoaster year of bumbling climate action and community fun.
From high heels to a small holding, The High-Heeled Eco-Worrier is a hilarious eco romp. Who says that helping the planet isn’t good for your libido?

★★★★★ Bourne does it again!!!
I loved this story. Book 2 in the series is even better than book one in my opinion … It’s funny, heartwarming, and delivers a real insight into contemporary London and the amazing things Brits are doing to combat climate change and the eco-dangers we all face (often without knowing) … But don’t get me wrong, it’s hysterical! Good old Deb and Nat! Highly recommended.
★★★★★ A really fun read.
This is such a fun read, based on a great idea. Debbie and Nat are back from book one in the series (The High-Heeled Gardener) but with a whole new cast of characters, as they try to establish an Eco-living Hub in a redundant inner-city church. It combines comedy, romance, and a story that keeps you reading to the hilarious and satisfying fairytale ending. And it’s also surprisingly informative too – as along the way the Good Life crowd share their infectious conviction and enthusiasm. Recommended!
★★★★★ Hilarious and Thought Provoking
So wonderful to read a book about climate change that is both fun and thought provoking without taking itself too seriously. I really loved the characters and their crazy antics. Thoroughly enjoyable and packed with top tips on how to make a difference. Bravo!
The High-Heeled Gardener (Book 1)
From haute…to horti…couture, The High-Heeled Gardener is a hilarious horticultural handbook.
When ex-fashion designer, Deborah, answers a knock on her door, little does she know that she’s about to embark upon the romance (growmance!) of her life. Sexy local politician, Toby, persuades her to turn a patch of land outside her flat into a community garden … with uproarious consequences.
Join Deborah, the High-Heeled Gardener, as she records her eco-adventures in a worms-and-all diary. Jump aboard her rollercoaster year of steamy sustainability, organic food growing, and earthy fun.
Introducing a community of lusty climate activists, wassailers, and wood nymphs, Deborah is not only led up the garden path but becomes an unwitting environmentalist along the way. But is there anything she can really do to help the planet? A year of digging dangerously!
