Casey and Alex, members of an upcoming London-based rock band, are young, happy, and very much in love. When they're inexplicably unable to make love on their wedding night, they shrug it off as a one time thing. But when one night turns into a several month dry spell, Casey and Alex embark on a desperate (and often hilarious) quest for answers. The first half of the book was very good, but my attention started to wane after a while. The situations Alex and Casey found themselves in towards the end of the book become more and more outlandish, and hard to believe. That being said, I have to give the author credit because I think it would be difficult to drive a plot from start to finish based on whether or not the hero and heroine can copulate, and Nicky Wells does a good job of finding new, original plot twists. Overall, this is a fast, lighthearted read that will make you laugh from start to finish. (CK)
In part two of a trilogy, Sophie is alone, having broken up with previous boyfriends Tim and Dan. Unlike Tim, Sophie has remained best mates with rock star Dan, who seems to have a burning ember still glowing for Sophie. After her flat burns down during her 30th birthday celebration, Sophie temporarily moves in with Dan and just as she is contemplating life with him again, she experiences a thunder bolt and lightning moment with the handsome Steve. Without having ever met him, she determines that he is THE ONE. While she's on a mission to meet her future husband, her best friend Rachel is unceremoniously dumped by her fiance and jumps off a ship into the ocean. Sophie eventually meets nurse Steve when she requires emergency appendix surgery and just when her life seems to be on track and she's with the gorgeous Steve, they have a fight and she finds her best friends Rachel and Dan in a compromising position. Sophie runs away and finds herself on an isolated German island where the locals embrace her and allow her to heal. When she's eventually found, will her friends forgive her and more importantly will Steve? (LF)
Sophie has been in a relationship with Tim for two years. She is waiting for him to pop the question, even though her friend Rachel doesn't like him at all. Despite a horrible second anniversary celebration and not-so amazing trip to Paris, Tim finally proposes. She should be focused on planning her wedding but destiny has other plans for her. Sophie's favourite band, Tusk, is playing in town and she is determined to meet Dan, the lead singer who won her heart years ago. And somehow she ends up engaged to the rock star too. Who will she choose? ? I found Sophie quite annoying and confusing. She is a terrible decision maker. However Nicky Wells has made a commendable effort in juggling the story between past and present.
