A cheating fiancé, a treacherous sister, and a summer at what can only be described as a an old folks home. Oh, and she’s just fallen for her best friend. Bella and Jamie’s relationship was always clear cut. They were friends, end of story. But when Bella’s high profile wedding ends in disaster and Jamie, her knight in a flight attendants uniform, saves the day, she sees him through new eyes. What’s changed? Is it his heroics, his good looks or is Bella simply on the rebound?
Jamie is a Manwhore.
At least that’s the term of endearment given to him by his best friend Bella. He knows it’s true though. It’s not his fault. It serves a certain purpose to be seen like that by her.
And flitting from woman to woman is easy when you’re a flight attendant. With short stopovers in sunny climes, his hook-ups know the score from the start. Can Jamie put his womanising ways behind him, and be what Bella really needs or will he hurt her and ruin their friendship forever? Whatever the answer, the outcome will change their lives.
Join Bella for a summer getaway at the Pink Flamingo, where unexpected friendships are formed and others become complicated.
I enjoyed this novella. The characters are quirky and fun, the setting at a Spanish resort is exactly right for a beach read, and the writing is really funny. The plot needs a bit of attention since events happen too fast occasionally or aren't fleshed out enough to give the characters an opportunity to show themselves. Toby is a great example. He feels a bit 'thrown in' and stereotypical and purely in the story to give Bella something to do while Jaime is out of the picture for a bit. Since this is a novella, some thin plot is to be expected, but the author missed some opportunities to let the characters round. Overall, though, a truly enjoyable read. Recommended for rom-com readers who want something light for an afternoon.
