‘Will you… pretend to marry me?’


Bonnie Haskett loves everything about weddings. She loves her job at a national bridal magazine and even has a deposit down on her dream dress. The only problem? She doesn’t have a fiancé!

So when Bonnie is sent to Edelweiss Island, known as ‘The Little Wedding Island’, it’s a dream come true. She’s heard the rumours, every wedding that takes place in the tiny chapel ends in a happy-ever-after.

But there’s a catch! Investigating the story, Bonnie needs to pose as a blushing bride – and the only man up for posing as her groom is her arch rival (and far too handsome for his own good) journalist Rohan Carter…


My Thoughts

If you like an escapist read with romance running straight through the middle, this is the book for you. The fictional Edelweiss Island is a mecca for lovers who are attracted by the rumours that swirl around it that if you marry in its church, your marriage will be destined to last. Bonnie and Rohan pose as an engaged couple to get close to the villagers in the hope that they will uncover the truth behind these claims. There is a feeling of destiny about the place, with the islanders somehow able to differentiate between true love and its imposter. 

    There is an excellent strand of humour that runs throughout and the relationship between Bonnie and Rohan provides some amusing asides. You find yourself liking them both, as well as the cast of islanders who they meet. With a wonderful setting and a sense of jeopardy if their quest fails, this is a feel-good and enjoyable read.

In short: escape to Eidlweiss Island for an all out romance with a touch of wit.

Jaimie is a 32-year-old English-sounding Welsh girl with an
awkward-to-spell name. She lives in South Wales and enjoys writing, gardening, watching horror movies, and drinking tea, although she’s seriously considering marrying her coffee machine. She loves autumn and winter, and singing songs from musicals despite the fact she’s got the voice of a dying hyena. She hates spiders, hot weather, and cheese & onion crisps. She spends far too much time on Twitter and owns too many pairs of boots.

She will never have time to read all the books she wants to read.
