Wedding Belles

by Zoë Barnes

Nothing is going to go wrong with Belle Craine's dream wedding. Her mum won't let it. Unfortunately, nobody's told an Australian girl called Mona Starr, who turns up on the Craines' doorstep without warning and announces that she's Belle's long-lost half-sister. It's bad enough, but Belle also has to face the fact that her fiance, Kieran, is spending an awful lot of time with ex-model Mona - a fact which her teenage sister, Jax, delights in pointing out. Is Belle being paranoid, or has she got a fight on her hands if she wants to keep her man? And more to the is he worth fighting for.

About the author

Did you know ...?
Zoë was born near Liverpool, but is a real mixed bag! Her mum is Manx and her dad is from Yorkshire. She now lives in Cheltenham, where her novels are set.
She is also a French translator, and translates novels by Christian Jacq (author of the Ramses series) under the pen-name of Sue Dyson.
She was named 'Secretary of the Year' in 1987, although she wasn't actually working as a secretary at the time!
When not writing or translating, she works as a singer.
At the moment she has three cats: Domino, Pizza and Jupiter. Unfortunately, Jupiter's favourite foods are Sellotape and glue, and he enjoys chewing the corners off library books.
The only animals she really doesn't like are cockroaches. And it's not their fault they're creepy.
She loves chocolate, but it makes her ill. Sadly, green vegetables are perfectly safe. There is no justice.
There is no such thing as a Javanese Yellow Skunk. But there ought to be.

Zoë died on October 30th 2009 after taking an overdose.

I must say that the Australians featured in this chik-lit novel are anachronisms - very weak and do not stand up well next to the other characters. The comedy of small town parish politics was well written and enjoyable to read. The main character Belle didn't appeal to me much as she didn't seem to have much self confidence or trust in her fiance ... but I suppose there are women like that! Mmm ??

A good, easy trashy rom com read.

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another easy read, fun, slightly messy. A bit of unnecessary drama but still a fun read.
