The blurb:
Love happens when you least expect it…
Emily
Atkinson stopped believing in fairy tales a long time ago! She’s fed up of
dating frogs in order to track down her very own Prince Charming, despite the
best efforts of her matchmaking best friend…
But now she’s
been invited to the wedding of the year at the enchanting Durban Castle, and
perhaps bumping into a knight in shining armour isn’t as far away as she
thought!
Will Emily
survive the wedding and walk away an unscathed singleton – or finally find her
own happily-ever-after?
My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Emily Atkinson is a history teacher and has had enough
of men. She doesn’t want to go on date after date, but her best friend Alice
has a different plan. She is also looking for men and Emily’s perfect match.
Alice herself has a boyfriend (Emily’s teacher
colleague), but her family doesn’t know. Kevin had to hide several times
already and she just can’t tell them, because she knows they won’t approve.
When her sister gets married, she takes Emily as her plus one. Kevin is of
course not happy with this situation and nor is Emily. It means there will be
lots of single men around and Alice will do her best to play cupid.
The wedding takes place at Durban castle, a fabulous
location and Jennifer Joyce captured it beautifully. There are lots of
activities for the guests and it’s so much fun to read about them and see Emily
being part of them. Of course there are several potential love interests there
too. Archie and Tom were the most interesting ones and Emily definitely had
chemistry with one of them. No I’m not telling you which one… read the book!
The banter between them was great and I liked him as a
character. All the characters were very well lined out and had their own story
to tell.
The fresh, modern and cute writing was the perfect
mixture and the book has wonderful humour. It’s an easy read, with so many
fantastic elements. The storyline flows beautifully and has a lot of sparks.
