発行者による作品情報
After a case of mistaken identity and an almost one-night stand, two stranded wedding guests have to find their way to their final destination together, in this riotously fun debut romance.
Ada’s little sister is getting married. Which should be a happy thought, right? But the once close sisters have been in a year long fight, the wedding is all the way in Ireland, and Ada is so broke that she just barely managed to get a ticket on a budget airline. And as if things couldn’t get worse, said airline just cancelled her connection. Which means Ada is stuck in London with no way to make it to the wedding.
Surely she’s hit rock bottom?
So, there’s no reason for her not to spill her heart out about the over-the-top wedding, her sister’s worryingly quick engagement, and the womanizing best man she’s dreading meeting to a handsome also-stranded stranger at the bar. Until she realizes the stranger is headed to the same wedding. Oh, and he’s the infamous best man.
Now, Jack and Ada must put their simmering attraction behind them to make it to Belfast before they miss the nuptials. But between flat tires, missed trains, and suspect hostels, Jack and Ada start to question whether their feelings are worth going the distance, or just a distracting detour along the way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The journey to a destination wedding hits some turbulence in McBreen's entertaining debut. Ada Gallman is dreading her sister's wedding in Ireland partly because of their strained relationship, but mostly because she's flying solo while on a three-month "break" from her long-term boyfriend. After her connecting flight from London is canceled, she wanders into the nearest hotel—but she's too broke to afford a room for the night. Jack, a handsome stranger at the hotel bar, offers to share his room—but Ada's too committed to her not-quite-ex to agree to a one-night stand. Still, the two get to talking and eventually realize they're headed to the same wedding, where Jack's the best man, the guy Ada's sister has warned her is the ultimate playboy. With no other flights available, they work together to come up with new travel plans—encompassing trains, cars, boats, and multiple shared hotel rooms along the way. The more time they spend together, the more Ada learns about herself, and she starts to wonder whether her long-term, on-and-off relationship is healthy or just habit. Meanwhile, Jack begins to heal from his own recent heartbreak. The romance burns slow, but McBreen makes it clear that these two are a good match through emotional heart-to-hearts. Their unexpected and realistically complicated path to a happy ending is sure to move readers.
