A Victorian enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance Lady Wilhelmina, once the darling of the ton, fled England in shame after jilting her fiancé. Following a decade in disgrace, Mina’s returning to Society’s ballrooms on a luxury steamship…and encounters her ex-fiancé’s distractingly handsome cousin, Max Cavendish—her once friend, now enemy! Max’s guard is up, yet being in close quarters with Mina sparks a wave of dangerous attraction that makes him want to discover the truth behind the scandal.

The Wedding of the Year by Jill Mansell #Review

 

I am thrilled to be on the tour to celebrate another story by Jill Mansell, The Wedding of the Year was published by Headline Review on January 18th.  

Love, friendship and secrets revealed as the sun beats down on dazzling blue Cornish seas

It's set to be a perfect day - until the chauffeur is asked to keep driving the bride around the church. This wedding definitely isn't going as planned.

Lottie is a guest at the wedding when she sees Max. No kiss has ever matched the last one they shared fifteen years ago. They were on the brink of a beautiful love story, until a shocking event tore them apart. Now here he is, still ridiculously good-looking, teasing Lottie in the old way - and that overwhelming electric attraction is back. But Max is way out of bounds.

Freya owes Cameron everything. But she doesn't love him. Which is a shame, because they're about to be married.

Ruby has been the perfect wife. When she discovers the truth about her husband, her response is reckless and delicious. But after that, nothing will ever be the same again.

My Thoughts

 This is a delightful read which follows several stroy threads, with love, marriage and weddings being a common theme as we follow the lives of Lottie, Freya, Iris and Ruby. They are at different stages in their lives and working through their own challenges, all related to past or present relationships. Some of them realise that their hopes for the future have changed. Others are in for a few surprises and find their lives turned upside down. Each woman emerges as a well drawn character who are warm and relatable. Friendships are very important as each needs support in one form or another.

    In addition to four amazing female characters, we have some intriguing men, with witty dialogue and some humour. This is well up to the standard we have come to expect from Jill Mansell, If you enjoy a story full of warmth, with likeable characters and some humorous moments, you will love this romance.

In short: characters you will warm to
