About this listen

Amanda's old school friends can't believe it when the social climbing queen of preen, Satan's very own PR girl, pulls off the ultimate publicity stunt in getting herself engaged to a Scottish laird.

Who cares that Fraser McConnald has worn the same pair of Converse trainers for the last three years and that his castle is a pile of rubble with one calor gas heater - she'll be titled!

Something must be done. Gentle, decent Fraser is clearly ignorant of her wiles, and Mel and Fran, still smarting from the memory of all the mean things Amanda put them through in their days at Portmount Comprehensive, set out to sabotage this mismatch of the century.

So between fighting off the attentions of a love-crazed accountant, keeping Fran's deadly manoeuvres with the opposite sex under control and trying to win her own war of love with the elusive but gorgeous Alex, Mel finds herself attending a wild Scottish stag night and a hen night from hell and preparing for a wedding that's everything you'd wish on your worst enemy.

Very cute and funny, couldn't stop listening. Nice performance too, the accents made me smile a lot :)

Lovely and funny, worth a listen.

A good story that was witty in places. I liked the snarky heroine. However, it did seem dated and some of the joking around and methods of getting of revenge now just made me feel uncomfortable rather than it being funny. And it reminded me of how things were before the age of mobile phones, when we had to actually find people in other ways! All in all I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it, I feel like I’ve been on a real heartwarming adventure. The narrator was excellent.

A lovely listen

Terrible Scottish accents - a basic story, a bit predictable, not the usual warm, cosy vibe from Jenny Colgan. Shame, I had higher hopes.

A bit simplistic….

The unattractive, bitter, whiney heroine - in fact most of the main characters are so unpleasant - just didn't make for a joyful listen. I've been re-listening to my Jenny Colgans recently and after the sublime Mure series this is just ...well,. bleugh. Maybe it was a very, very early book before JC found her style? it's certainly dated and to add to that the reader's pronunciation is distinctly bizarre in places too.....

I couldn't believe this was Janny Colgan
