Honeymoon Alone by Nicole Macaulay
5.0

This book was not at all what I expected and that is just one reason why I loved it so much. Get your passport ready and prepare to swoon!

Lucy's is the maid of honor at her sister's wedding and the control freak bride has planned every detail of her wedding...TWICE! When the wedding is over it's Lucy's job to cancel her sister's back-up honeymoon, but instead she decides to take her first vacation ever and pose as her sister at the fancy hotel. There's just one problem: the hotel is for honeymooners only and Lucy has no groom.

So often, travel romances are a steamy romp on a beach in Fiji with all sizzle and no substance. This book surprised me with friendship, mystery, romance, family, humor, and love! No canned storyline or super-predictable tropes here.

This is a wonderful story that makes you feel ALL THE FEELS in the best way. There are great friendships in this book, a suffocatingly involved family, and some life lessons thrown in there too.

I absolutely adored the unexpected twists in this story and fell in love with every character, even the very grumpy hotel concierge! I certainly hope we get to see more stories from these supporting characters in their own books. A series...pretty please?

I received and ARC of this title from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
