Another cracker from Milly

What will it take for Bonnie's to find the happiness she deserves. A great story read by an excellent narrator. Kept me gripped thtoughout

Loved it

Had Alexa read this to me, was gripped, and laughed & cried with bonnie & lew bless them, and it's such a shame there are people out there just like it. loved bonnie, great listen, and had it playing in every room & at bedtime, good job you can set timers & go back, this was a very good enjoyable read for a romance, just lovely.

If I could give 6 stars, I would!

I always feel sad when I finish a Milly Johnson book! This lady is seriously talented, an amazing storyteller, has fantastic storylines that makes you laugh, cry and capture your heart. Whenever I listen to one of her audiobooks or read one of her books, I’m a bit crabby when I have to do other things, for I miss reading/listening to her story. Milly Johnson is the best in her category, utterly captivating!! Love, love, LOVE Milly Johnson!

Perhaps a Princess?

I enjoyed so much of this story apart from the rather rushed ending. I would have liked to have heard more about Lou and Bonnies romance and less of the silly but where her friends scared her ex!

Escapism

I did enjoy the story, not my usual 'go to tale but enjoyable none the less even if toward the end it drifted off into mills and boon territory. Well read
