FREEBIE TODAY ONLY!

FREEBIE TODAY ONLY!

Would you marry a man after the first date? Grab this festive feel good story by Laura Barnard and indulge in Hugh and Florence’s love story -

http://mybook.to/AdventurousP

Add to Goodreads

After a string of bad dates, Florence Gray is so over online dating. So much so, that if she has to survive another guy standing her up she might just do something crazy ... like accept the first proposal she gets.

So when she finds herself alone in the bar, again, Florence can hardly believe her eyes-or ears-when Hugh Humphreys swoops in and presents her with an proposal so adventurous she can't believe she's actually considering saying yes.

Because, after all, twenty five days to plan a wedding is some feat and that’s while getting to know your fiancé, their disapproving Mother and dealing with a jealous ex. Throw in the small matter of where they should live and you have Florence wondering what the hell she's gotten herself into.

Can you really countdown to a wedding like an advent calendar? Fall in love with a stranger and make them your husband? Because if she's going to make it down the aisle Christmas morning, Florence has to find out and fast.

MY REVIEW

This has a silly storyline, arranging a wedding after one date but you know what I enjoyed it :)

Florence meets Hugh after being stood up and they seem to have a connection which leads to an Adventurous Proposal!!!

Hugh, I wasn't sure about at first he came across a bit pompous, but he grew on me. Florence is a successful, down to earth woman, she comes from a working-class background and liked to express herself.

I enjoyed their story, the bumps along the way and watching their sexual attraction grow, not forgetting feelings...

I actually listened to the audio version and the narrator made the book a fun listen. The characters were distinct which added to their personalities from the writing.

This isn't a long book, perfect for an afternoon read/listen. An enjoyable chick-lit read.

Synopsis

Ruby Campbell isn't daunted at the prospect of working as a Nanny for the notorious Barclay Rothchester. She’s warned he’s a strict control freak, but she’s sure she can soften him up.

Barclay Rothchester lost his wife three years ago. Of course he’s never going to find someone to replace her role, the one she did so perfectly. He’s sure its not going to be hippy dippy Ruby with her sass and rebellious ways.

Ruby is determined to give his daughters the Christmas they deserve. Now if only she can tolerate their father long enough to make that happen.

Are they both willing to put their stubborn pride aside, or will they risk losing the one gift that can't be wrapped: each other.

Readers can't get enough of Once Upon a Wish-mas...

My Review

A Christmas themed rom-com and I absolutely loved it. It's a bit of Mary Poppins with some Christmas fun and romance, the difference being I loved this nanny so much more than that Mary Poppins sequel!

Barclay a widower takes on a new nanny for his two cute girls and gets Ruby. Ruby omg she's a force of nature, she really made me chuckle. I did think she pushed the boundaries quite a bit for a new employee but it was needed at times and so entertaining.

The story is mainly from Ruby's pov, but Barclay gets some smaller chapters so we get his pov and it's obvious quite soon his not as cold as he first shows, just guarded. Did I mention he's a good looking man that keeps himself fit, something Ruby can't help but notice.

I listened to the audiobook and loved the narration. There were so many moments I wanted to highlight like an ebook!

The narrator defined the characters well and gave them personality and the children's voices came over cute.

A real humorous and easy listen. Trouble is you don't want to pause it when you have to go out! I could totally see this as a rom-com on the big screen.

My review of the ebook

This book is a blast, but if you're looking for a sensible run of the mill romance this isn't it!

This book has two slightly crazy characters, Katy and Felix. They work in the same school but don't really know one another. They start the beginning of a 'friendship' when they're put in a situation neither expected. The fun and games, and accidents they have on their road trip made me giggle. I could have highlighted a funny line on almost every page but wanted to keep reading.

It's all based in good old blighty - or I could say the UK. Some of the situations are a little silly, but who cares its funny. I have to admit I found the festival very amusing and the aftermath enjoyable.

Pick this up if you like a romcom.
