For review
My thoughts.
I like Mansell's books. They are always sweet and they never disappoint. Of course this one I actually wanted to listen to because of Gabrielle Baker, and she made is so much better. Her voice was perfect for it.Miranda works in a fancy hair saloon. So far she does she lowly jobs, and hey, with her luck and messing things up, that might be a good idea. Her boss forgives a lot. Things others would not. But then she is sunshine. Happy, nice and funny. Who would not want to work with her. She is the one that the book is about, but since this is a Mansell book everyone else gets a lot of time in the spotlight too.
Like her boss ..Fen or Ben? I could actually not get that right. Anyway, the hot guy who owns the saloon and dates supermodels. But he is such a good guy.
Bev, who is the receptionist for the place. She is dyyyyyyying to meet someone, and this woman needs to calm down.
Flo, who owns the house where Miranda rents a room. Oh FLo was hilarious! I wish I am that cool and sassy when I get old.
Chloe, whose husband dumped her when she got preggers. That ahole! Chloe is so sweet and nice!
But as the blurb can tell you she will meet someone and fall in love, and dang he made is so hard to dislike him. Cos he is an ahole, but he does seem to like Miranda. There is also another mistake she makes early on that comes back through out the whole book, and I will not say more there, except, some mistakes are worth making.
The only weird thing was when she fell for someone and...let's just say, she got over it so fast. It felt like, why even write that particular story. It was strange and I can not say more.
But do not worry, everyone will be happy (except for Greg, he does not deserve too).
Conclusion:
I enjoyed it
Narrator Gabrielle Baker
Oh she is just wonderful! I really like her voice and she makes for a great Miranda
Cover
She does not take a single bikeride...cute still
Blurb:
Revenge is a dish best served sweet . . .
Miranda's most recent male-related catastrophe is the seemingly perfect Greg. He's gorgeous, witty, and they're on the brink of falling madly in love . . . until Miranda finds out he's just left his pregnant wife.
With the help of her friends, Miranda plans the most delicious revenge a heartbroken girl can get. But will Miranda learn from her mistake, or move on to the next "perfect" man and ignore the love of her life waiting in the wings?
Lmao the bike is randommm
ReplyDeleteSuch a random bike
Deletewhy not
ReplyDeleteMansell's books are usually a treat.
ReplyDeleteThey so are!
DeleteLove books that bring in a lot of side characters and what a pretty cover!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty :D
DeleteIsn't it wonderful how a narrator can actually improve on a book. Thanks for sharing Blodeued
ReplyDeleteShe really is wonderful!
DeleteIt's been awhile, but I've read a few of her books. They're always so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThey so are!
DeleteNot for me :D.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI am giggling over the line about cover. Not a single bike ride, yet the book has a bike on the cover?
ReplyDeleteSo random and weird!
DeleteYou know I have never tried this author!
ReplyDeleteI think you would like her too :)
DeleteHuh... I'm not really sure where this book is heading... revenge? romance? both?
ReplyDeleteRomance...the blurb is weird, so weird. No thought about revenge until something happens
DeleteDon't think I've tried one of hers yet!!
ReplyDeleteOne day!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed this audio book. I like Jill Mansell too.
ReplyDeleteI have so many Mansell books but haven't read a single one. I really need to work on that.
ReplyDeleteLol, better pick a good one then so you do not regret them all
DeleteWhat... no love for Greg?? Is he the guy that dumped Chloe? If so, okay I can see that. :) Jerk.
ReplyDeleteBev lol.
Ha, sorry Greg, but Greg is a bastard ;) And yes he dumped poor Chloe!
DeleteWow, so many characters to keep track of. And hmm, if she could get over someone so quickly, maybe she didn't really fall for him that hard in the first place.

Oh come on, you read fantasy! ;)
DeleteThey are all in each others lives :)
I enjoy any Jill Mansell book I read too but now I have never heard of Gabrielle Baker so am going to have to look her up. Just looked this one up on Audible and a Patricia Jones is narrating it. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat? That is so weird!
DeleteWait, I just checked and it says Baker
I've listened to audio books that I'm not sure what the names are, more times than not. lol. I thought the cover was cute and like it, shame it's unrelated to the book.
ReplyDeleteAt least the cover draws you in, even if there are no bikes
DeleteI have yet to read a book by Mansell. I know, unbelievable. I'll add this to my audio wish list.
ReplyDeleteI do think you would enjoy them
