My Free Romance Novel from Mills and Boon - Three Weddings and a Baby by Fiona Harper

Remember the free romance novel offer Mills and Boon were doing? Well my book arrived a week ago and I finally got the chance to read it! :)

I was originally expecting Surf, Sea and a Sexy Stranger by Heidi Rice which is what the website had told me I would be getting but I was pleasantly surprised to find a different book altogether.

Instead, I received Three Weddings and a Baby by Fiona Harper!

When three is most definitely a crowd… Do you believe in love at first sight? Jennie Hunter and Alex Dangerfield did, and they married just a few weeks after they met! But when Alex disappeared on their wedding night Jennie was left alone – and angry – in her honeymoon suite. A month later, and Jennie has given up hope of ever seeing her runaway husband again. Then Alex returns – with his toddler in tow! Shocked to learn Alex has been married before, her first instinct is to run. Her second instinct – well, even a hard-headed businesswoman can’t turn away a tiny girl who needs a nappy-change and a husband with sheer panic in his eyes… Compared to umpteen clients, one small kid will be a doddle…right?

The blurb is pretty misleading in my opinion but I guess they're just trying to sell the book.

The story is about Jennie Hunter - an events manager and socialite - and her newly wedded lawyer husband Alex Dangerfield. Alex leaves Jennie alone for a week during their honeymoon because of an emergency and because of this and his lack of communication, Jennie is heartbroken and runs away. She avoids all contact with him and continues to be heartbroken until Alex forces himself back into her life. 


It was a really light read - I managed to finish it in 2 hours whilst taking a break from an essay haha - and I enjoyed it quite a bit.


The story alternates between the perspective of both Jennie and Alex which is something I think it handles really well. We get to sympathise with both characters (perhaps more so with Alex) as we see what they're holding back from each other. We see how and why misunderstandings form and develop not only within their relationship but in man and woman relationships in general. It gives you a lot of perspective :)


On the other hands, there were some pages that I ended up skimming through because there wasn't much happening and they were a bit repetitive. Apart from that, the romance was adorable! I loved the added story that the baby brought in too!
