Goodreads rating:  4.25 - 231 ratings
My rating: 4
Setting:  contemporary posh island resort

First line/s: "Your wedding day is the start of a life-long journey, and, like any other journey, it requires a lot of planning."

My comments:  A sweet, adorable, very, very funny rom-com.  Narrator got into some of the scenes , which made it especially funny and I laughed out loud through many sections.  Freddy, the male actor protagonist, was fashioned after the fantastic Jamie Dornan from Shade of Gray, at least in my mind, but I do think that's what this author had in mind.  Ooh la la!  And oh, there were absolutely no explicit scenes in this book, which I must say was quite refreshing!

Goodreads synopsis:  When disaster strikes, paradise calls...
As a published novelist, Lila Rose has been writing about fictional weddings all her life. But disaster strikes on her own big day when she hears her philandering fiancé, Daniel whispering sweet nothings to someone else.
          With her dream day shattered, all Lila wants to do is run and hide, so she decides to fly solo on her own honeymoon.
          When Daniel arrives in the resort with his new squeeze, Lila strikes up a ‘showmance’ with hot new movie star, Freddie Bianchi. Freddie is perfect for the part and Lila soon relaxes into her leading lady role.
          But as truth starts to merge with fiction, could real love be in the air?
          A sizzling holiday romance, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk and Sophie Ranald's Sorry Not Sorry.
