Adventurous Proposal by Laura Barnard
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 a 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.
Caroline's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a fun, festive, madcap story!
“You don’t give a shit about what people think. You care about the real things. And that’s exactly what our marriage will be. Real.”
When Florence goes to a bar to meet a new Tinder date, she doesn’t expect to end up spending her evening with a different guy, who was stood up as well. Or, end the evening with a gorgeous kiss. Or, end up accepting a marriage proposal. Or, end up planning a wedding on Christmas Day – in 23 days’ time!!
This story was nuts and fast-paced, as Florence and Hugh contend with gobsmacked friends and family, a scheming ex, a beyond-snobby mother, and the trials and tribulations of getting a wedding organised in such a short space of time with a small budget. On top of all that, there’s also the small matter of getting to know one another and falling in love.
This really was a fun story! And, can I just mention changing-room sex?!
