Ratings and reviews

Jane Linfoot has become one of my favorite people, she is certain to be my favorite person of the month, as I adored this book from beginning to end. The storylines were entertaining as well as insightfully observant and cleverly amusing while her character development was simply stellar. I reveled in their banter and thoughtfulness of each other. I admired Milla’s evolution and smirked at her propensity for creating a bit of chaos as she appears to be more than a bit of a Calamity Jane and destined to be plagued with funny little disasters, despite her best efforts and good intentions. These were endearing and lovable people whom I would enjoy spending time with and knowing well. I look forward to delving into this series again and again for more antics and bridal adventures to keep Poppy’s busy eyebrow wagging.

There are few things that make me happier than a new (or a re-read) of a book from Jane Linfoot. I believe that I’ve read EVERYTHING she writes, and have yet to be disappointed – the humor, the characters, the emotion and the smiles when the book ends last for days. In this book we’re meeting Milla, a local girl who returned to her home county after her business partner and boyfriend of five years announced she was pregnant. Trying to do ‘the right thing’ she’d stayed to work on their Bridal Fair business but wasn’t sticking for the birth. Welcomed with open arms by Poppy and Immie, her arrival near Valentine’s Day and the St. Aiden’s usual ‘any excuse for a party’ isn’t what her emotions need. But a ‘random snog’ with a stranger, and the offer from Jess to stage wedding fairs and start a bespoke “all in” planning service for brides has her opportunities opening even as her confidence is at an all-time low. Enter Nic with a wedding to plan: it doesn’t help that he’s gorgeous and funny, but he’s also picky and Milla can’t quite feel confident or comfortable around him – particularly when he doesn’t seem to be ‘focused’ on the planning of a wedding in a few short months. Yet, as things go horribly and embarrassingly wrong for Milla – with landing her van in the mud, to endless venue visits that are ‘all wrong’, to major (and minor) wardrobe malfunctions – Nic is gently reinforcing his ‘you can do this’ mantra with Milla, and sharing little bits of himself, as the two banter and bandy ideas, suggestions and ‘what’s next’ to tick off the list of tasks. Milla - what can you say about someone who truly is spectacular and creative at what they do – who can’t seem to see it.? Always measuring herself against her ‘business partner’ who did little but presented a great show. And her honest desire to “wow” the bride – even before she understood everything in a way that only she could after her mother’s long illness, she’s adorable. Needs a bit of confidence, but as things take off, and people are wowed – including Jess and the girls – it's hard to not cheer her on. And Nic, with his guilt and ignoring what’s right in front of him – but always willing to shore up Milla’s confidence, push away unsuitable males (into the water even – although that was a ‘trip’ not a push) and his determination to bolt when things seem to be ‘getting serious’ is truly everything you’d want in a man – once his eyes are open. This is a lovely, funny and heartfelt story that manages tough issues, friendship, growing attraction and finding a new footing and direction for your life. And love the series – grab it from the first if you’ve never read it before – but you can start anywhere. It’s the perfect antidote to the stress and cabin fever that we’re all suffering from. A perfect installment in my favorite series. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

About the author

Jane Linfoot writes fun, flirty fiction, with feisty heroines and a bit of an edge. She lives in a mountain kingdom in Derbyshire, where her family and pets are kind enough to ignore the domestic chaos. Jane loves hearts, flowers, happy endings, all things vintage, most things French. When she's not on Facebook, and can’t find an excuse for shopping, she’ll be walking, or gardening. On days when she wants to be really scared, she rides a tandem.
