Publisher's summary

Sometimes, the hardest part of staying together is keeping a straight face...Ever wish you could leave all your problems behind and make a fresh start somewhere else? Trade the stresses and strains of everyday life for your own slice of sun-kissed paradise on the other side of the world?

Jamie and Laura Newman certainly have. When Jamie's spectacular meltdown at work results in him being handed his P45, and Laura finds her working days end up with her rugby tackling defenseless pensioners in the high street, a move ten thousand miles away sounds ideal. After all, it might mend some of the cracks that have appeared in their marriage over the past few months.

So when Laura is offered a new job in Australia, the Newman family think their dreams have come true. But as the old saying goes - be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. As the hapless couple soon find out, problems have a way of following you, no matter how far you go to avoid them.

Can love survive under different skies?

Funny well written

Nick takes the things that happen in everyday life, dissect them down to human elements, sometimes a wee bit raw, and makes you laugh. Love his books!
Mr. Ryan and Ms. Wilds are wonderful narrators giving the characters personality and bringing them to life. Great book after a stressful day at work or during a horrible commute to get you back to feeling human. A delightful romantic comedy with self deprecating humor. Thank you all once again!

Can't get enough of these books!'

Absolutely love the style Nick Spalding uses of having both characters "write" down their experiences in a diary and a blog! More adventures of Jamie & Laura and this time Down Under! This time there's the new character of Poppy, who sounds like a chip off the old blocks!

Spalding is brilliant!

After " Bricking It", or rather after my abs recovered from "Bricking It" I devoured the Love series. My only regret is that it's over. I've laughed out loud so many times at work now that my boss fears for my already strained sanity but it's totally worth it.

Still laughing

Book 3 ends with a good measure of frivolous fun and wacky storyline(s). Too many belly laughs and/or chuckles throughout the entire series. Really, really enjoyed these books and will recommend to my hubby as he'll definitely enjoy these with the good amount of "off the wall" and raunchy banter.

Not as good as the others

The narrators are great and there are a few funny bits, but overall this wasn't the best of the series.

Love it!

I can't recommend this book highly enough. Light-hearted, funny, and excellently well narrated. The narrators make this story come to life. So glad I found this series!

Fantastic and hilarious.

Loved it! The author takes everyday life experiences and turns them into hilarious emotional sweet and heartwarming stories. Nick has a gift that is rare, irreverent, but sweet. I laughed so much reading this book 5*'s.
