Since November 2009Book Review: A Winter’s Wedding by Sharon Owens
Posted on Friday, November 12th, 2010 by Leah
Emily loves Dylan. And Dylan loves Emily. Their relationship is rock solid. Everyone says they are meant to be together, it’s just a matter of when - not if - Dylan’s going to pop the Big Question. There’s just one tiny fly in the ointment: Emily hates weddings. Which is fair enough seeing as she was jilted at the altar years ago by Alex, her supposed soulmate. Still, Dylan isn’t Alex.
He’s gorgeous and sexy and scruffy and kind - and more than worth taking a chance on …But what happens when the ghost of Emily’s Christmas past threatens to ruin everything? Can Dylan convince the love of his life he’s different and that their wedding day will be remembered for the right reasons? After all, with a sprinkling of snow and a touch of magic in the air, there’s nothing quite like a winter’s wedding to warm the soul...

Julia Rothwell is at a bit of a loss. She’s just lost her high-flying job as a hedge fund manager in a big bank, and doesn’t really know what to do with herself. So when her best friend and flatmate Reece suggests that she writes a “10 things to do before I die” list, Julia gets stuck in and coming up with a pretty exciting list. She wants to swim with dolphins, visit Tokyo, have relations with an Italian man and many more too! Thanks to her exciting list, Julia ends up jetting all over the globe alone, with her friends and with a few strangers she meets along the way too. Julia soon begins to realise that there is much more to life than working crazy hours and getting promotions at work, but what is she going to discover about herself along the way too? Will Julia achieve all 10 of her dreams, or will she get more than she bargained for?
