It is a great pleasure to feature Karen King's Summer novel, The Spanish Wedding Disaster today. It was published by Headline Accent on 16th June. I also have a great giveaway with the chance to win a signed copy of the book (UK only). For details on how to enter, see the foot of this post.
Some people are romantics. Some aren’t. When Sophie and
Maddie are summoned to a mysterious, top-secret meeting by their best friend
Kate’s partner, and told that he’s planning to whisk Kate away for a surprise
wedding in Gibraltar, it’s immediately clear that bubbly florist Sophie is a
total romantic. And that freewheeling, purple-haired Maddie is not.
Soon, Maddie finds herself reluctantly organising venues,
planners and ceremonies; trying not to think of her own memories of Andalucia,
and those she’s lost touch with there. Meanwhile Sophie’s hoping this dreamy
gesture might spur on her own boyfriend to similar plans . . . and absolutely
not thinking at all about Kate’s gorgeous brother-in-law-to-be.
But Kate’s got no idea what’s going on. And as the stress
piles up and the group jet off to the sunny south, it seems it’s not just Kate
who might get a surprise in Spain – one that could change everything . . .
My Thoughts
If you are looking for a light, entertaining read to pass a lovely Summer's day, then this could be a candidate. As the title hints, there is plenty of fun to be had as to whether a 'surprise' wedding is going to be the answer to a bride's dreams or not. We have a groom who is totally carried away with what he thinks is the romance of springing a wedding on his girlfriend, in Spain. He seems unaware off the stumbling blocks in his way- the first one being will the bride say 'yes'? To help him, he enlists his brother and two of his girlfriend's friends to help him plan the wedding and find out what sort of a day would be best.
There are plenty of lively subplots going on in the background. Sophie has to pretend that she is getting married to try to tempt the bride, Kate, to describe what she'd like. With plenty of scope for misunderstandings and moments of jeopardy, it makes for a fun read. Along the way, several characters sort out their own dreams for the future.
In short: wedding jinx in the sun
