Bride Without A Groom Blog Tour
I am delighted to be hosting this Blog Tour as part of the "Wedding Season" during May and June on my blog. I mentioned to the author Amy Lynch that I wanted to read as many wedding themed books as I could during May and June and she very kindly agreed that I could take part in the blog tour! Thank you Amy!!
About the Author
Amy
Lynch is an author of women’s commercial fiction and writing is her passion.
She loves to write humorous romantic fiction, but not always with fairy tale
endings! She has published fiction in magazines, and has worked in the charity
sector for twelve years. She is married with two young children. When she is
not writing, Amy can be found juggling school lunches and two Shetland
pony-sized rescue dogs. Now, how’s that for multi-tasking? Amy is the author of
two novels, Bride Without A Groom and Does My Bump Look Big In This? Her third
novel is in progress.
Sypnosis
Single, coupled-up or married, this laugh-out-loud summer read is the
perfect anecdote for the wedding season!
Rebecca
has chosen the most luscious, five tiered, wedding cake. The engagement ring
that she has selected is celebrity inspired. The wedding singer is on speed
dial. He doesn’t usually do Michael Bolton, but as it’s for a first dance he’ll
make an exception. Father Maguire is checking dates for the parish church as we
speak. The deposit on the white sand honeymoon is paid for in full on Barry’s
card. She has fallen for an ivory lace couture gown that is to die for. The
down payment may require her to sell a left kidney, but it will be worth it.
Isn’t that why you have two?
There’s
one teeny tiny problem. It’s nothing, really. No need to panic! It’s just that
Barry has yet to propose. Says he’s not ready! He can be a bit of a kill joy
that way. It’s time to face the harsh reality – Rebecca is a bride without a
groom!
Review
Well, what can I
say about Rebecca, other than she would win any award for “Bridezilla of the
Year” hands down but surely you should wait until you are asked first!!
Although saying that, my husband never proposed to me properly so sometimes you
have to take the bull by the horns (so to speak!).
There were some
really funny bits in the book and one of my particular favourites was when
Rebecca goes to a zumba class with her Mum. I love the way the author tells the
story using Irish language and “feck” does pop up now and again and this always
makes me laugh!
I did feel the
middle of the book sometimes repeated itself but on the whole it was a light
hearted, funny look at a woman who is just desperate to get married. Her intended, Barry seemed a bit of a drip, but in the end he did things his way and on his terms, which made Rebecca realise what she was doing and to slow down a bit!
I didn’t warm to
Rebecca at all and found her quite irritating and the fact that she is so untidy
would drive me mad!
Even though Rebecca drove me potty sometimes, I did enjoy this book and it had some great laughs in it and would definitely like to read Amy's next book!! Well done Amy and thank you for letting me read it.
