When disaster strikes, paradise calls...
As a published novelist, Lila Rose has been writing about fictional weddings all her life. But disaster strikes on her own big day when she hears her philandering fiancé, Daniel whispering sweet nothings to someone else.

With her dream day shattered, all Lila wants to do is run and hide, so she decides to fly solo on her own honeymoon.

When Daniel arrives in the resort with his new squeeze, Lila strikes up a ‘showmance’ with hot new movie star, Freddie Bianchi.  Freddie is perfect for the part and Lila soon relaxes into her leading lady role.

But as truth starts to merge with fiction, could real love be in the air?

The second I saw the cover and title for this book I suspected strongly that I would love it.  I was just so intrigued, who is going on a honeymoon by themselves, and based on the gorgeous colours just what hot and exotic honeymoon destination is it! 

Well those questions are all answered within the first couple of chapters, so i can easily say that Lila, an hour or so before getting married to Daniel, over hears him talking to one of her friends and it is clear they have been having an affair.   In her rush to get away, she decides to go on honeymoon by herself as after all its been paid for. 

Well the destination would be been perfect for a honeymoon, not so much for a single person. It is an island resort called San Valentino in Italy, and its catered purely for couples - including the spa treatments and the bicycles.   It sounds idyllic but not that fabulous for someone trying to get over their recent betrayal. 

I took to Freddie on our first meeting of him, and my opinion of this rather sexy man improved scene after scene, and it was clear even if Lila couldn't work out what was going on, that I was definitely falling for the man! 

There are so many moments that had me giggling and smiling throughout this book, and everything ramps up a great when there are some assorted extra people at the resort that Lila was really not expecting to see, which leads to some even more memorable scenarios. 

Honeymoon For One really is a perfect summer escape sort of a book, it transported me to San Valentino, to some excellent Italian food, a large number of porn star martinis, and some simply wonderful scenes.  I enjoyed every last moment of this book.  

If you are a fan of Portia MacIntosh you will 100% enjoy this book too!! 

Thank you to Boldwood Book and Netgalley for this copy which i have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
