Falling for the groom…

Three days before leaving Ireland on the adventure of a lifetime, Fiona Byrne returns to her hometown to attend the family wedding from hell. When she discovers the drunken vows she exchanged with the groom during a wild Las Vegas trip eight years previously mean they're legally married, her future plans ricochet out of control.

In the space of twenty-four hours, he loses a fiancée and a job, and gains a wife and a puppy. Can he salvage his bland-but-stable life? More importantly, can he resist losing his heart to Fiona all over again?

Ratings and reviews

Sassy...good , no, great read to de-stress!!!! Loved Fee and everything with her..... Gavin is great too Loved Irish background, the medium pace and matter of fact writing with out the un- necessary frills!!!. been long since I found a book this good. the characters are good with enough room to develop. relationships too are given with chances of developing. Story is very lightly said in a sweet vein which will make to want to finish it to know the end (unless you sneaked). Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved the Ireland parts. Loved hte people parts. Loved the book parts!!!! :) :P :)

If your marriage can survive stresses like these, it can survive anything. Might as well stay married, even if you were too drunk to know what you were doing when you got hitched.

Great plot, great storyline. Just a little slow for my taste. I think it can be compressed into 200+ pages instead of 300+.
