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?©2008 Milly Johnson. All rights reserved (P)2008 Simon & Schuster, UK.

Critic reviews

‘An irresistibly warm and romantic read’ (Sunday Express S Magazine on Sunshine Over Wildflower Cottage)
All stars

Loved this book so much. Great to have the only book that was previously not narrated by Colleen Prendergast finally released with her dulcet tones. A little bit that made me smile was one of the characters checking Ceefax for the lottery results. Shows it was written lot longer ago than I realised!

Great story made better by Colleen’s narration
