An enjoyable, interesting read that had many unexpected twists and turns. This is the first book I've read by this author, but now I'm looking at picking up the previous book. And that's pretty good praise in and of itself. Definitely recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. It contained the right amount of comical mixed with serious. The tone is light-hearted, but the book is not "fluffy" or lacking depth.  It is real life and was a very enjoyable read.  I highly recommend it.

I really, really loved this book. It was a quick, enjoyable, laugh-out-loud read that caught my interest immediately and kept me reading until I finished. I'm not sure the storyline is entirely plausible, but that doesn't really matter because the main character is so endearing that you can't help but get caught up in her plight and root her on! I felt the characters were well-developed and likeable, including the one you love-to-hate. I found myself wanting to jump in and shake people up at points--a sure sign I was enjoying my read! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a light, sexy, romantic/comedy read with a HEA ending.

I really enjoyed the read...it was quick, entertaining, not too 'deep' and make me LOL on several occasions. I will say that I do enjoy chick-lit, especially when I can relate. And hey, I've dated several BUMS. LOL. It's great to watch how the main character, Charise, matures and learns about herself, and how her past affects her choices. And who doesn't love a 'happily ever after...'

It's a buck, people...splurge! It's totally worth it.

I enjoyed this book. The cruise ship aspect added an element of fun along with the not ex husband...a shock to anyone who thought they were divorced only to find out they weren't. There were some sexy and lighthearted moments plus a bit of sarcasm. I liked the writing and look forward to reading more by this author.

This was a fun read, if a little hectic.  Despite the unlikely basis (accidental marriage followed by deception and near misses) it was easy to get involved with the characters and their well-intentioned stumbles toward happiness.

Fun and enjoyable read, and I loved the dual perspectives allowing us to get to know both characters and see both sides of the story. Have added to my list of recommended reads!

This fun, uncomplicated  romp through hell with the 2 protagonists burgeoning relationship was an enjoyable, quick read. A little complication to better understand he'll and it's denizens would have been nice. I appreciated how the author took the time to make sure that her heroine of 25 and her hero of 1000 didn't speak in the same tone or language...usually. This was my first series of any or any books from this author. It made me want to try more.

I got this as a free download, so I figured I'd give it a try- what did I have to lose.  And it was an enjoyable and entertaining read.  Millie Brady is a young 20 something looking for love and living in a small English town.  The book jumps off with a page turning look into Millie's life and starts the whole plot line rolling for the book.  I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen to Millie and the people in her life.  Millie is easy to relate to as a reader, as most women have been in similar shoes at one point or another.

I debated on giving it 3 or 4 stars and decided to go for 3 because of 2 key points that bothered me as a reader-
1: The story is told in the 3rd person from only Millie's point of view for about the first third or so of the book- just Millie's.  We don't know what's going on elsewhere or what anyone is thinking unless it's Millie.  Then Mansell decides, without warning, that the rest of the book is going to jump back and forth and give 3rd person POVs from various other characters in the book.  It switches from Millie to someone else and back to Millie with only large space separations between paragraphs in most cases.  Sometimes it would be in a new chapter or she'd use stars(****) to divide it, but mostly not.  The reason this bothered me, and why I say 'without warning' is because as I was reading, I remember thinking, "what's going on?  why is Millie saying/thinking that?" and flipping back pages to see if I missed something only to scratch my head and keep reading and realize that we were in someone else's head.

and 2: I found the story very predictable.  Mansell would set you up in spots, trying to create excitement and tension, but in my mind I'm thinking, 'oh, of course it's going to be him' or 'she's gonna go in and ------ is going to happen' and sure enough, I kept reading and that's what happened.  A lot of the suspense she tries to create didn't lead to any surprises.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and would read more by Mansell.  If she sticks to the same patterns, at least now I know what to expect.  It was a light, fun read.

Lots of great moments and laughs in this book.  I honestly laughed out loud at places and smiled through most of the book.  A good story line tied the characters and funny incidents together, believable growth in the main character and some true to life behind the scenes church life....trust me, been there etc....fun and enjoyable quick read.  Moving on to book Two!
