About this listen

 From the Sunday Times bestseller comes a warm, tender and utterly hilarious story about love and betrayal

Love can sting. Or make you fly ...

Romance writer and single mum Stevie Honeywell has only weeks to go to her wedding when her fiancé Matthew runs off with her glamorous new friend Jo MacLean. It feels like history repeating itself for Stevie, but this time she is determined to win back her man. She isn't going to act as he might expect. She isn't going to wail and dig her heels in, she is simply going to pretend to let him go whilst she pursues a mad course of dieting, exercising and self-improvement.

And it feels like history is repeating itself for Adam MacLean too, who is also determined to win his lady, Jo, back with the same basic psychological tactics. Then he is going to initiate his master plan: Getting together with Stevie to drive Jo wild with jealousy.

So, like the Scottish country jig 'The Birds and the Bees', the couples all change partners and learn some revealing truths about each other along the way. But what happens when Adam's master plan actually starts to work? And just who will Stevie be dancing with when the music stops?

I am a huge fan of Milly Johnsons books and I was waiting for this to come out with Colleen Prendergast as the narrator, I had listened to a sample of the other narrator for this book, there was nothing wrong with her voice she just wasn't Colleen and didn't suit the story and characters(for me anyway). Another fabulous story by Milly!

Brilliant!!
