Book Description:
When two eligible and attractive men are vying for your heart, it should be the perfect dilemma... Audrey Fox has been dumped by her unreliable fiancé Nick Byrne just days before the wedding. Heartbroken and confused, the last thing she expects when she jumps on a plane to convalesce in Cyprus is romance. But a chance meeting with handsome entrepreneur and father-of-one Daniel Taylor weaves her into a dating game she's not sure she's ready for. Audrey's life is thrown into further turmoil when she discovers on her return to London that Nick has been involved in a serious motorcycle accident that's left him in intensive care. Distraught yet determined to look to the future, Audrey must make a decision - follow her heart or listen to well-meaning advice from family and friends? Because sometimes, no matter what, it's the people that we love who can hurt us the most...
My thoughts:
You wouldn’t think there would be much of a story to tell
here. Audrey has 2 gorgeous bachelors
vying for her affections: one is Daniel, a handsome international property
dealer, owner of his own business, master of the romantic gesture and buyer of
designer footwear. The other is Nick,
her ex-fiance who dumped her just days before their wedding. Easy choice you’d think. However when Audrey learns that Nick has been
seriously injured in a motorbike accident on the eve of what would have been
their wedding day her already frazzled emotions go into overdrive and she is
very confused as to how she feels about him.
Audrey is a very relatable, likeable character who I could
really connect with. Her friends and
family are constantly offering their advice as to whether she should try and
mend her relationship with Nick or make a new start with Daniel and she really
is torn between the two men and what they can offer her. Life with Daniel isn’t
as clear cut as it would at first seem with his daughter and ex-wife Aliki
still very much on the scene and playing a bigger part in Audrey’s life than
her friends realise. As the story pans out lies and deceit start to appear from
all angles and Audrey starts to wonder just who she can trust. I really wanted
to dislike Nick after the way he dumped Audrey but there’s something about him
that is quite addictive and I could understand why she was so unsure about
letting him back into her life. Daniel
however is a different character altogether and where on the surface I felt
like he should make ideal husband material there were facets to his personality
I couldn’t quite feel at ease with.
I managed to work out certain aspects of the storyline but
other more shocking threads of the story hadn’t featured on my radar at all,
and things come to a quite explosive climax in a huge argument involving many
of the fairly numerous cast of characters.
I found this to be an enjoyable book but I’m still not sure whether I
the ending quite worked for me personally.
I cannot finish this review without mentioning the stunning
cover artwork which links beautifully with the storyline. It’s not the first time Urbane publishers
have sold a book to me purely with a drop dead gorgeous cover design and I’m
sure it won’t be the last.
My thanks to Netgalley and Urbane publishers for the advance copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
