Despite the example of their own parents' enduring marriage, the three Bachelor brothers show no signs of settling down. Adam has a string of unsuitable girlfriends; Luke bears the scars of a savage divorce; and Russell is in love with the one woman he can't have. When their father announces that he wants to try his hand at single life, everything is thrown into turmoil. Are the Bachelor brothers totally hopeless cases or just late starters?

But it is actually funny and describes the members of a family , parents and their very much grown sons, and their respective relationships. I have to give Mike Gayle o pass for the afwful title as throughout the book it keeps appearing as a bad joke. Why, well just read for yourself. It won’t disappoint.

Another enjoyable and thought-provoking novel from Mike Gayle. I have read every book thus far and whilst not in the exact order of publication this was my most recent read/listen. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of the relationships and family dynamics. The overall performance was very good - albeit just a couple of errors towards the end of the book when the narrator uses the wrong name for the character e.g. the name 'Adam' was used when it should have been 'Luke'. However, this was just a minor error and it did not deter from the performance as a whole. I wish Mike Gayle would make a visit to South Wales at some point as I would love to have a signed copy of this book or others I have. The audio books really help bring the characters alive and this one is no exception. Now why have I got Cliff Richard's 'Bachelor Boy' song stuck in my head - keep up the great writing Mike.

I enjoyed the performance but I'm afraid I wasn't taken in by the 'charm' of the Bachelor men. The only apparent reason why they all behaved so badly was their shared surname. The women in the story were treated appallingly and reacted in a way that was a complete mystery to me.

I wouldn't fall for them
