Just totally swoon worthy!!!

Another smash hit from Portia! The queen of unputdownable romances!

Georgia is feeling pretty crap when she catches her fiance with someone else, so she heads off to Las Vegas on her own.

The chemistry between her and Jack is instant!! He is clearly smitten with her, so smitten that after their drunken night together he agrees to be part of her mad cap plan to convince her family that she's still got her life together.

The more lies they tell, the more the lines blue between them until they're not sure which parts of their relationship are real and which are fake...

This one absolutely sizzles. Gorgeous, funny characters, whip smart dialogue and laugh out loud scenes. You need to read this, the ultimate feel good romance!

Neste livro acompanhamos a história de Georgie que descobriu que o seu noivo a andava a trair, poucos dias antes de voltar para Inglaterra para o casamento da sua prima. Assim, tal como estava planeado, Georgie passa uma noite em Las Vegas e no dia seguinte apanha o voo para Inglaterra. Contudo, o que Georgie não estava à espera era de conhecer Jack no hotel onde estava hospedada. Nem que se fosse casar com ele após ambos beberem demais. Nem que lhe iria oferecer um bilhete de avião para ir com ela ao casamento da sua prima no seu país natal.


Gostei do livro. Entreteu-me, no entanto achei um pouco lento e não gostei muito da Georgie. No início do livro, estava a gostar imenso do enredo, depois mais ou menos a meio aconteceram coisas que não achei grande piada. E depois no final, estava a gostar cada vez menos da protagonista. No entanto, adorei o final.

Em suma, este livro teve coisas que adorei e outras coisas que não gostei assim tanto, mas de um modo geral, é um livro que se lê rápido e dá para passar o tempo.

Georgie decides to recover from her fiasco fiancée's unfaith scene in a crazy night at Vegas... when she wakes up, she discovers that is married to the handsome Jake and he is willing to be her wedding partner in her cousin's wedding... What could go wrong?

This is a funny love story, where everything that could go wrong will go worst!
Georgie has a very sweet family, her relation with her parents and brothers puts tenderness to this story, because the future bride (Georgie cousin) and her mother are a nightmare! They have some kind of stupid rivalry, but it will make the most funny scenes on the book. Just imagine a 50 something stripper to a young bride hen party, the faces had to be hilarious!
Georgie and Jake relation is sweet and hot at the same time, they don't know each other but they will try to figure out if the sparks between them are worth the sacrifice to fight for love.
I would like to think that even if the person you love most brakes your trust, you will be able to love and trust again, not easy, but that's what Georgie will have to do in this book. Yes, there are a lot of hilarious situations involving Georgie and alcohol, but this doesn't mean that her heart is not broken and she doesn't know if she will be able to trust again...
The Accidental Honeymoon is a chic lit romance with a big heart and a lot of humour, it will make you laugh and be a little sad, but the most important is that it will make you believe in love.
Ready for the perfect wedding?

Really enjoyed this!

Such a light, refreshing, funny read about when weddings go wrong and lies to keep on going, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
