For Penny Archer, dating after forty has proved to be less ‘silver foxes and romantic dinners’, and more ‘last chance bargain bin’. She’s met every liar and cheater in the dating pool, and after one heartbreak too many, she is officially sworn off men.
A strong, single mum, she doesn’t need a partner, and besides, the family planner is crammed with work commitments, school meetings, puppy classes, chores for her ageing parents and, of course, her beloved book club. Although a cuddle now and then wouldn’t go amiss…
Penny jumps at the chance to let her hair down at a friend’s wedding, blissfully unaware that she’s about to crash into a stranger’s life in the most mortifying manner.
Can something that begins in disaster ever end in happiness, or is it all too good to be true? Will Penny ever turn the pages of her own book towards that happy ever after?
My Review:
The Bridesmaid's Brother is a beautiful story about love, loss, and the ability to finally move forward. The author wrote such a realistic story about two forty-something people in different post-marriage situations. Each of their situations is vastly different, and both shaped who they are today.
There is so much emotion on the pages - good, bad, ugly - it's all there. The characters displayed a rich assortment of feelings, personality, and history. The world building was spectacular and I felt like I right in the middle of the book.
This story is so beautifully written, perfectly executed, and wonderfully paced.
I was provided a copy of this book.
My Rating:
Olivia Lockhart (Livvie to her friends) is an English author who can't quite decide if she wants to write contemporary romance or paranormal romance. Either way, it HAS to be romance.
She loves to write about the underdog, the one who got away, the bits of love stories we can all relate to.
When not writing she can be found drinking wine, cuddling her beloved pooch or with her head buried in a book.
