This Is Going To Ruin The Tour
Not yet published
Expected 25 Jun 26Rhys Pritchett has built his life in the shadows.
As bodyguard to one of the world’s biggest pop stars, his rules are stay invisible, stay vigilant, and keep Cai safe at all costs. He despises the chaos of fame—the red carpets, the drama—but most of all, he despises personal assistants who think they run the show.
Lucy Taylor lives by control.
For four years, she’s kept a demanding diva’s world perfectly in tune, sacrificing her own wellbeing to keep the peace. But a ruthless backstage power play leaves Lucy without the career she fought to build—and no one to blame but the man who chose a prank over her.
Now, amid sold-out concerts, obsessive fans, and too many cities, Lucy and Rhys are forced into each other’s orbit. Every glance lingers too long. Every argument sparks with heat neither of them can afford. Lucy is the risk Rhys swore he’d never take. Rhys is the man who cost Lucy everything.
When danger resurfaces, duty and desire collide. And in the shadows where secrets thrive, Lucy and Rhys must decide whether protecting the star is enough—or if some risks are worth stepping into the light for.

Honoured to have been a beta reader for this book.
Anything set in Wales with Welsh language is a yes from me.
Plus sized main characters make my life happy and this is a truly representative book of all characteristics.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This Is Going to Ruin the Tour is a witty, engaging novel that blends romance, humour, and an unexpected twist into a story that feels effortlessly readable. Lowri Charles writes with a style that calls to mind Sophie Kinsella — light, clever, and full of sharply observed moments that make the characters feel instantly familiar.
At the centre of the novel is a love story between two believable, well‑drawn characters whose chemistry feels natural rather than forced. Their dynamic gives the book its warmth, while the unfolding plot — complete with a twist that genuinely surprises — keeps the pages turning. The balance between romance and story is handled with confidence, allowing both elements to shine without overshadowing each other.
Charles’s writing is easy to sink into: crisp dialogue, relatable emotions, and a tone that stays entertaining even when the stakes rise. The characters behave like real people, with flaws, humour, and reactions that make sense, which grounds the more chaotic moments of the tour setting.
Overall, This Is Going to Ruin the Tour is a charming, witty, and satisfying read. It offers the fun of a contemporary romantic comedy with the added pleasure of a twist that elevates the story beyond the expected. Lowri Charles delivers a novel that feels polished, heartfelt, and full of personality.
