Summary:
For Penny Archer, dating after forty has proved to be less ‘silver foxes and romantic dinners’, and more ‘last chance bargain bin’. She’s met every liar and cheater in the dating pool, and after one heartbreak too many, she is officially sworn off men.
A strong, single mum, she doesn’t need a partner, and besides, the family planner is crammed with work commitments, school meetings, puppy classes, chores for her ageing parents and, of course, her beloved book club. Although a cuddle now and then wouldn’t go amiss…
Penny jumps at the chance to let her hair down at a friend’s wedding, blissfully unaware that she’s about to crash into a stranger’s life in the most mortifying manner.
Can something that begins in disaster ever end in happiness, or is it all too good to be true?
Will Penny ever turn the pages of her own book towards that happy ever after?
One wedding…
One bouquet toss…
The chance to change her story…
Review:
Firstly thank you Rachels Random Resources and Olivia Lockhart for having me on this tour and for sending me the book.
I loved it so much, read it in one sitting its that kind of romance that you can just step into. I loved Penny as an MC, she was just so relatable that it's easy to see yourself in her, the insecurities when you start new relationships and about yourself were just spot on. And Ryan was so damn sweet, I loved watching him grow in his relationship with Penny and damn it if my heart didn't break for him when was opening up about his grief.
I thought the cute little flirty messages between them were adorable and I liked the author using it later in the book for them to say things we all know are difficult to say face to face. It was a slow-burn relationship, I know they moved quicker in some areas, but I liked that they took the relationship as a whole at a slower pace it suited their personal circumstances well and it meant we got to know them better as they both opened up about their pasts.

For 90% of this book, I had a smile on my face and loved watching them together but that last 10% was heart-wrenching I could have cried for poor Penny and what happened to her. I think the way the author portrayed Penny's reaction was brilliant, the way she felt about herself and its negative impact on her was fantastically done and I genuinely could have cried at it.
I will definitely be looking out for more books by Olivia Lockhart.
