I don't even remembering downloading this for the kindle, but I was looking through the books on there for a short easy read that I could get through in a couple of hours and that wouldn't take too much concentration. After reading the blurb for this, I almost deleted it without reading it as it is very unrealistic and far fetched. However, I had previously read The Debt and the Doormat by the same author which I loved, so I thought I'd give this one a go. At worst, I've wasted couple of hours reading it!Laura has this way of writing great characters with funny lines that just makes you want to keep reading! Ok so the premise is far fetched and because the wedding is planned in a month, everything moves at a very fast pace and emotions are exaggerated somewhat. But that doesn't stop this being a great short read that will only take a couple of hours to read. I have knocked a star off just because I would have liked the story to have been longer and the other characters to have been developed more, but otherwise I really enjoyed it. I will be reading more by Laura in the future.

Love, Love, Loved it !!!!!
My heart is so full of love for this book, it's like a big blanket; it made me feel so warm, cozy, loved up and a little sexy - what more could you want from a Christmas read ?I need to thank Andie M Long for writing the review that lead to me reading this book I'm in your debt as I may never have read this without your glowing review.I managed a few firsts with this book; it's my first book by this author and it's the first time I've been so engrossed in a book that I actually walked to walk reading my kindle I couldn't put this book down !I can't recommend this book enough !!!!

Sweet festive read you will love
Have you ever read something so sweet it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Well this is how Adventurous Proposal made me feel today.It totally wraps you up in a warm fluffy blanket and makes you want to watch old christmas movies.I absolutely loved this book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to fall in love with the perfect leading lady and gentleman.Flo Gray and Hugh Humphrey were made for each other.He's her soulmate who just happened to get stood up on the same night as she did.He's a bit impulsive but it totally works and if being impulsive gets you stair aerobics and changing room frolics then sign me up.Hugh and Flo are from different backgrounds but they just work so well together.Even when people try to throw spanners in the works on regular occasions they manage to pull together.I just adored this book and really wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars as it deserves so much more.I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

A great festive heart warmer.
I am going to be honest Chick Lit romances are really not for me but it's that time of year again when I just want to curl up with something fun and festive and Adventurous Proposal ticked all of the boxes for me.It's a festive whirlwind romance that is a little bit cute and a little bit over the top but isn't that what this time of year is all about?Laura Barnard's Adventurous Proposal is exactly what I needed! It was a short, it was funny and it was sexy filled with lots of festive spirit that is sure to leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. So if you too are looking for a festive read this winter that is sure to wrap you up warm with lots of festive romance and a whole lot of lot of love, this is for you.

Sigh
Wow! I was going to read this on holiday, but I could not wait. Laura Barnard's books get better and better. It is so tempting to put plot spoilers in a review- but instead there is plenty of the ingredients you would expect to read in a book of this genre with added 'but then this happened oooh that happened!' And of course the trade mark, relatable humour. I must admit, I was smirking to myself about those wedding preparations! As Laura puts it, when the main character, Flo is worried if her boyfriend is 'going to be one of those who leaves his shaving stubble in the sink'... I am glad to be on that side rather than the bridezilla side. I will finish with a quote from the book that I was particularly drawn to 'That's one of the things I'm learning to love about you. You don't give a * about what people think. You care about the real things. And that's exactly what our marriage will be. Real' ... Sigh...

Loved it!
Flo has been stood up...again. She meets a handsome stranger at the bar and they talk all night. He asks a surprising question, will she say yes?I enjoyed this book and if you’re looking for a fun, light hearted and easy to read book this is the one for you!Flo and Hugh are the main characters and they are a little bonkers but I really liked that about them 😂A lovely story about meeting the right person at the right time, add a little Christmasf into the mix and it’s a perfect read!

Short,sweet, Christmas romance
Really cute , romantic read with humor throughout.Not a very believable story and not to in depth with the characters.That being said, it was a lovely quick read that made me giggle at times.Will definitely read the next book.

This was a freebie so wasn’t sure it would be any good but wow it was, got straight into it and couldn’t put it down, enjoyed the characters and story, will now be looking at other books by the author to try.
