Don’t get mad, get Ethan!

Lana has had enough. Her ‘perfect’ sister is getting married. In Australia. On Lana’s 30th birthday and no one seems to have noticed. To make matters worse, she’s been given a list of rules she must follow so she doesn’t upstage the bride. Well, rules are meant to be bent right?

She’s found a killer dress, now she just needs the most inappropriate wedding date she can find. But where to start? All her attempts at online dating are simply disasters, and not in the right way! Too boring/married/easily intimidated! But then her drop dead gorgeous ex Ethan suddenly reappears in her life. With the power to make her dizzy with excitement she reminds herself why they broke up. Together they literally attracted chaos until their relationship imploded. They couldn’t make it work. But could Lana make this work in her favour… just for the wedding?

However, when they arrive in Australia Ethan seems to have forgotten he’s only there to help cause bedlam. Instead he’s off the charts charming, nothing like she remembers and not playing by her rules. She’s here for revenge, not a rekindled holiday romance… but Ethan has other ideas!

A laugh-out-loud fake dating romantic comedy from MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh.

Funny and entertaining

I love her books. They are always an amusing escape. I love her humor and storytelling style.

Fun read

Held my interest, read in 2 days. Funny, believable, making you feel like you were there with them First time reading this author, will definitely read another. Narrator was good, told the story but didn’t get in the way of it.

A wonderful read

Wonderful writing and so fun! I really enjoyed every one of her books that I have read! Her books are my vacation!

Very Slow start to a happy ending

I enjoyed this audiobook but to be honest I almost put it “down” because of the slow start, however once you get into the last 57% of the book it gets really good… just the lead up was like “okay we get it, she’s struggling let’s move on already”

Meh

I usually like this author, but this one was just meh. It wasn’t bad per se and the idea was cute, bu it just fell flat. Most romcoms are predictable but this one especially so, and yet it still didn’t flow well. Also, the main character just seems flaky and while she’s not a bad person, it’s also kind of hard to understand why the male lead actually likes her to the degree he does.
